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: 2010-07-21 06:48 pm (UTC)Only very superficially, like when I am shopping for baby stuff for my BF's sister-in-law's baby shower. I have a great career and can do whatever the heck I want, which is really...awesome.
2) Do you miss high school?
Not really. I wasn't on my own, earning my own money, and everyone was crazy, myself included, from stupid amounts of hormones. I'm always grateful that I went to TJ, though.
3) What sort of "your own business" are you thinking of?
A consulting company to the government.
4) How active are you in the SCA?
Really, not at all. I'm not even a member right now. I used to go to events that weren't Pennsic, but now that I am not dating a heavy fighter, that has stopped. My main hobby doesn't really lend itself well to medieval recreation (scrapbooking) and I don't have a lot of time to do SCA stuff. I can appreciate the efforts that others make with historically accurate clothing, etc...but most of my friends are really more there for the fighting.
5) What makes you happy?
Money and time in excess, with a great guy to share it with. Honestly, I'm pretty happy even though I'm not rolling in dough or extra time right now. Having someone special in my life to take care of and take care of me and discuss the events of the day with and laugh at length in our own shared language - that's what really makes me happy, and I have that. My relationships with other people have always been my highest priority, above work, school, etc. Chalk it up to being an ENFJ.
