You know a quiz interests me when it lurks in the corner of my mind for days. This is cos'
fault. Even if Cos blames it on someone else. :)
1) If you could be instantly fluent in one other language that you currently do not read or speak, which would it be?
German. My parents both speak it, it sounds cool, and it's the largest percentage of anything that I am. Woo-hoo! I'm a mutt!
2) If you could have the starring role in any film already made, what would it be?
Contact. I love that movie. First movie I ever owned.
3) If you could receive one small package this very moment, who would it be from and what would be in it?
Mmm... presents... I don't want to pick! Surprise is half the fun! OK - a *little* bit specific, then. Either something to play with or something to read.
*reminding herself of one of her .sigs* "My toys! My toys! I can't do this job without my toys!"
4) If you could own one work of art from any collection in the world but were not able to sell it, which work of art would you select?
Um... I don't know? I don't tend to know the names of things. Something interactive! Interactive art is *fun*.
5) If you were instantly able to play one musical instrument perfectly that you never have played before, what would it be?
lap harp. They make pretty sounds and look cool, and I've managed to form a crush on every single person I've met who played one. :) But they're not cheap, and I'm afraid I'll buy one and decide I don't like it as much anymore. That, and I don't have any idea how to select a harp!
6) If you could possess one supernatural ability, what would it be?
Um..... to a certain extent, I already seem to have healing. But I want better control over it. Flying would be neat!
7) If you had to choose the most valuable thing you ever learned, what would it be?
Be yourself. No one else can, and it makes life much more entertaining. Although sometimes very difficult.
Which vaguely reminds me of: "In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice. -Richard Bach, _Illusions_"
Yes, I like quotes. And buttons. And bumper stickers. :)
8) If you could have only one piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?
If furniture does not include such things as a fridge and a stove, bookshelves. I have entirely too many books to not have bookshelves. At least not if I want to be able to find them again later. :)
9) If you could read the private diary of someone you know personally, whose diary would it be?
Uh... This is a strange question. Questions I have, I ask when I have them. So how would reading someone's diary be useful? Especially if they are likely to be using it as a means to figure out themselves (which can easily mean that they don't necessarily even mean what they wrote)?
Ick. No personal diary reading unless someone asks for some reason.
10) If you could have one person you know as your slave for one month, who would it be?
Um. No. I don't want a slave. I have enough trouble letting friends help me out with stuff.
11) If you could choose the way you will die, how would you want it to happen?
Neither as a surprise nor painfully and drawn out.
12) If you could wake up tomorrow to learn that the major newspaper headlines were about you, what would they say?
Eeep! No fame for me, please.
13) If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
Pay off college & car loans. Determine if any of my friends are in desperate financial trouble because of the crappy economy. Travel. In that order. Maybe go back to school a bit.
14) If you could take away the vocal cords of any person, who would it be?
Bush Jr...
15) If you had to describe your idea of the perfect mate, how would you do it?
No such thing. Perfection is too varied in my world; I've been known to appreciate completely opposite traits in different people (hell, I've been known to *have* completely opposite traits in myself).
16) If you had to have a personal friend redecorate your house, who would you pick to do it?
Jessie. Not that anyone reading this knows her.
17) If you had to choose the worst home you've ever lived in, which one was it?
The apartment I came home to after I was in Spain. Too small, too crowded... crazy-making!
18) If you could have prevented one thing from happening between you and a friend, what would it have been?
Realized *beforehand* that we did not work together as a Primary relationship. And not tried it.
19) If you had to describe yourself as a child in one word, what would it be?
Confused.
