From nildro:
Once tagged by this entry, write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then pick six of your friends and tag them.

1. I can juggle, but I can't stand on my hands.
   
2. My commute got /shorter/ when I moved from Blacksburg to northern Virginia.
   
3. The two CDs I've owned the longest are R.E.M's _Automatic For the People_ and the Gin Blossoms' _New Miserable Experience_.
   
4. Life in a house with no cats is quiet and sad.
   
5. Thanks to Sellars & Yeatman and the Reduced Shakespeare Company, I can name the monarchs of England from the Plantagenets up to the Glorious Revolution ("England ruled by an orange").
   
6. I hate shaving, but I hate the idea of having to maintain a beard even more.

Tag to, um, uilos, silmaril, salzara_tirwen, nixve, narquelion, and faeriefyre.

Speaking of whom, from faeriefyre.

1) If moving expenses were all covered, would you move overseas to pursue your career? If yes, where would you want to go?

In a heartbeat. I've not looked much into places specifically overseas, though. The British Isles look gorgeous, and I'd probably be happy most places in Europe. Australia's out for a number of reasons; ditto much of South America. Vancouver's not exactly overseas but it's also an option.

2) What is your dream job and why?

Full-time fiction writer would be nice but I'm not sure I can handle it. Ditto being a playwright. Anything where I can set my own hours and not have to twitch when someone walks up behind me would be ideal . . . but I fear the uncertain paychecks and the lack of health insurance that comes with being a freelancer. So, that's a long-winded way of saying "Beats me but this ain't it."

3) Would you ever run a marathon?

Unlikely. That takes some serious drive. I like running, but I don't like it /that/ much.

4) What is the best RPG campaign that you have participated in?

As a player, sir_alf's Blacksburg Cyberpunk game. As a GM, I'm happiest with my last Amber campaign. I take particular pride in having been given the chance to end it with one of the characters phoning home to say "I'm at Corwin's Pattern . . . or what's left of it, anyway."

5) Most recent dream?

Being deep in discussion with sir_alf about how many discs were in the first Animaniacs DVD collection. I think we settled on "eight." (Amazon says five, so, close.)

Leave a comment, get five questions, post this to your own journal, yadda yadda.

My commute got longer moving to Houston, but only because I used to work from home. To make my commute any shorter now I'd need gills. Or a Jet-Ski. Still trying to convince work of that one. "What if there's an emergency? I can drive here in four minutes, or Jet-Ski here in thirty seconds! That's an eight-fold improvement!"

Question me if you want.

1. Any regrets?
2. What's the worst part about living in Houston?
3. Who's the last person you want to see before you die?
4. If you were suddenly required to change your name, to what would you change it?
5. Where did it all go wrong?

(As to that other matter, I'm still sorting out my thoughts.)
