Date: 2010-07-17 07:23 pm (UTC)1) What's the best thing about living in Boston?
The single best thing? Urk. Um.
Okay, the single best thing is any moment when it all hits me and I have this incredible knowledge of the fact that yes, I am Home, and this is exactly where I belong in the world. But since that's not consistent...
Eating ice cream from JP Licks while sitting in the middle of Davis Square and watching Morris Dancers before going off to Scottish Country Dancing on our ducking *excellent* public transit snuggled up against a good friend?
(For less specific, it's a toss-up between "public transit!" and the science museum. Home is the city in which you've a membership to the science museum, and a library card, amIright?
2) Who do you wish you could get back in touch with?
Discounting people who are dead...I miss Tho a lot. We talk still, and keep trying the e-mail thing, but our relationship has never been as intense as it was from about June-November of 2006, and I miss that intensity.
I miss Drummer_Dude, off the sluggy.net boards, and maybe could kinda get back in touch with him, but it'd be hard. We're Facebook buddies. but I refuse to use that as a means of communication, and there's so little other means of communication.
(Facebook makes this question strange and difficult).
I would like to know what would happen if 15!me and I actually got to hang out a bunch. I think I would like her, and also laugh at her a lot. And I think she'd like me, and be disappointed in me.
Oh! My first set of friends who were twins, Lily and Zoe. And not just because I've been crazy reading Knights of the Dinner Table this past week, and so really want to game again. They were good people, I should say hi again.
3) What is it that makes you you?
My DNA, paired with my unique pattern of experiences that have shaped my outlook on the world at large.
...Sorry, that was rather pragmatic, wasn't it?
4) Where do you want to end up?
Hard question.
Boston is the short answer, though I'm not even positive about that anymore. Some days I wish I could settle down, have a partner (or two?) that I live with, have kids --ye gods do I want children of my own someday some days. Other days, I am quite positive that I am quite content with the life I am slated to lead, with all the freedom of being childless and living --well, if not alone, at least with roommates who are of the "just friends" variety. There is a lot of loneliness to having a series of long distance relationships, but there's also a lot of freedom.
So, I'm not sure yet. I think that's okay when you're twenty and immortal.
5) Are you happy with your life?
Gods yes.
There are things that I am unhappy about, but I am incredibly happy that I am still alive and lucky and getting to run around this incredible world and take pictures of bugs and make friends with girl scouts and such. I love my life, a lot.
