we could play at questions!

From darkfyre_muse:

1) Your last visit to B'burg? ever? why?

Without going into too many details, the short version is that uilos has no interest in going back, and I'm not sure that I'd want to go back by myself. I did that for a year and it wasn't all that much fun then. Since then more of the people I'd be interested in seeing have moved on, either physically or life-stage-wise.

It's pretty (especially in the fall), it's got a lot of good memories for me, and it's a part of my life that's over now.

2) Do you regret anything from your years at college/in B'burg? Would you change anything?

God, yes. You rack up a lot of regrets in eleven years. I've got so many I can't keep track of them all.

I was pretty rotten to Lori C. during the time she and I were both in B'burg. I've been meaning to write her an apology for, um, several years now.

3) When did you first know that you loved uilos?

Jeez, I don't know. I knew I had a crush on her by mid-February of 1997. Other than that, everything clicked when I followed her home one night, and it just kind of /was/ after that. Even through the mess of '02-'05 it never stopped.

4) You are currently in a long distance relationship. If this person were
to move back to your area how wold this affect your life?

Drastically. It'd mean a lot of deep negotiations with uilos, and with nixve as well. The stress of long-distance and the time-zone weirdness would go away but there'd be other stresses and weirdnesses to replace those. It'd be a good thing for me, just not the end of all problems. Or even most of them.

5) Who is the person from you past that you would most like to find again?

Ryan Waller, who was my best friend in 5th and 6th grade. His dad got assigned overseas that summer; we wrote letters for awhile and then stopped.

And from rbandrews:

1) How's learning Perl coming?

It's not, really. Most everything that can be automated at work has been, so there hasn't been much call for more scripting. I know almost enough Perl to do the things I need to do, and the things I don't know I can look up in the camel or online.

2) Are you worried about Chaos/Kai and the Wee Beastie getting along?

A bit, yeah. I'm actually more worried at having to put Keishi on a shelf where the cats can't get to her, and sort of forgetting she's there. I'm really liking having hamster TV in the evenings.

3) Have you ever considered making a site other than an LJ? Like a blog with a domain and all?

Technically I /have/ a website but it hasn't been touched in years and years.

As for a 'real blog,' eh, not really. I'm not prolific enough to keep people coming back daily, and I'm not funny enough to get away with rare updates. Plus I'm not obsessive or ranty enough about anything to carve out my own niche on the internet.

4) If you moved to Contrivedland and absolutely HAD to give up either board gaming or reading (books, you still get the internet), which would go?

Gah. Board gaming, I think, since books don't require me to find other people. Very tough call.

5) What's NoVA's regional foodstuff? Like Texas has barbeque, or Philadelphia has cheesesteaks. I love that dim sum place, but I am sure I can find ones like it outside DC.

It seems to be the "mediocre sandwich." Seriously, the lunch food I'm familiar with in the DC area is aggressively average (with the exception of Teaism).
