jazzfishPerhaps the very best thing about Facebook is how all the "which pop culture phenomenon are you?" quizzes seem to have migrated over there and no longer clog up my reading list. On the other hand, I sort of miss the sense of community engendered by the 'bunch of people i know answer a list of semipersonal questions' things. Hence, the triumphant return of Five Questions.
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a very personal nature.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions. And post them in a comment here too, if you don't mind.
4. Include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, ask them 5 questions.

What's the strangest thing you've caught yourself saying?
You mean, this week? "mR2," in the context of neither a Star Wars droid nor an M.R.DUCKS shirt. (Because "Nine-oh-one-em-ar-two" took too long to say.)
What was the best moment in an RPG you've ever witnessed?
After turning Random's son Martin (mostly famous for bleeding all over the Primal Pattern) into the living embodiment of said Pattern, thereby stopping the slow leakage of reality and stability into Corwin's new Pattern-realm and thus preventing the eventual destruction of Amber itself, Our Heroes returned to their homes for a much-deserved rest. Except for one who felt like poking around to see how the rest of the universe was getting on, and, well:
GMjazzfish: "You're getting a Trump call."
uilos: "Yes?"
jedibfa: "I'm at Corwin's Pattern. Or what's left of it, anyway."
GM: "Aaand that seems like a fine place to close this chronicle."
Who was your best friend when you were growing up?
Being an army brat means that this list is longer and shallower than most people's. The one I remember most fondly is Ryan Waller. I met Ryan in fourth grade when his parents, for reasons that pass all understanding, brought him to a party my father was hosting. (I think Cpt. Waller served under Dad.) We discovered a shared fondness for computer games and fantasy novels, plus he lived within bike riding distance. That ended when Cpt. Waller got deployed overseas (Germany, I think), the summer before Ryan and I would have been in junior high together.
How did you end up dating two women?
By doing wrong almost everything that I possibly could, over the course of three or four years. This isn't a story wherein I come off looking all that well so I'm going to leave it at that.
Sorry you said "Oranges" now, aren't you?
Not yet, but I might be depending on how many people want questions.

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.
