Wednesday, March 5th, 2003 11:25 amWhat sort of house do you live in?
A big Cape Cod-style home built over 70 years ago, modified somewhat over its lifetime. Could use some minor repairs and a fresh coat of paint, but a pretty nice place overall.
What would be your ideal residence?
A treehouse! Not joking, though there are few trees around here which would support a place with indoor plumbing and space enough for my book collection.
What sort of body do you live in?
One almost exactly average height for an American woman, below average weight. Longish brown and (prematurely!) grey hair; green eyes which sometimes like to turn blue and are very nearsighted & astigmatic; long, skinny, flat feet; strong legs; some minor structural flaws; chronically pained and fatigued and on the verge of passing out.
What would be your ideal body?
One without the chronic pain, fatigue, and syncope. Also would have much better skin, 20/20 vision, stronger arms, a smaller belly, and fewer grey hairs.
What do you do with your spare moments now?
Read books, read LJ, listen to CDs and Launchcast, contemplate playing with POV-Ray, chat online, lie in bed whimpering. I have too many spare moments.
What would you like to be doing in your spare time?
Walk more, hang out more with old friends and make new ones. I'd love to get my eye-hand coordination back so I could draw & do calligraphy again. I was never great at drawing (not bad either), but did become pretty good at calligraphy before having to quit.
How do you earn a living now?
I don't, unfortunately.
What would be your ideal job?
Possibly writing, if I could think up something to write about. Playing with computer graphics would be a great job too.
Who do you live with now?
A handful of 20- and 30-something college students and a legion of dustbunnies.
With whom would you like to live?
I like these people, but I think I may have been made to live alone. Either that, or I should be living with someone who pampers me lavishly. Neither arrangement is likely to be a part of my life anytime soon.
Where do you live geographically?
In the suburbs of the world's most self-important city, Washington, DC.
Where would you like to live?
I would love to be able to travel all around, trying out different places and different lifestyles. But aside from the hot & humid summers and the fact that this has been Ground Zero since well before I was born, I rather like it here. It's the Land of the Free Museums.
What things would you change about your current circumstances?
My health. If I had energy, much of the rest of my life could be changed. Money would be helpful as well.
What things would you like to learn?
Oh, absolutely everything!
What are your superpowers that draw other people to you?
Maybe my listening skills, though some people are frightened by how much I remember.
What do you think people say about you when you're not around?
Depends entirely on the people talking. Some think I'm a whiner, some think I'm a bitch. But I seem to have acquired a reputation for niceness recently, which is strange since I used to be thought of as sarcastic and cynical.
What do you think people will say about you at your funeral?
If I got run over by a bus today, the main theme would be how much crap I had to endure and how much I couldn't do. This depresses me more than I can say. I really don't want my limitations to be the last word on my life.
