Just when you thought the five questions meme was dead and buried...
Answers come lurching in appropriate zombie-like fashion!
Questions from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
1. If you knew you had no chance of failure, what would you do?
Apply for a job as a writer with a company like the Lonely Planet Guide or Pilot Guides, and eventually work my way around the world.
2. What magazines do you regularly read?
Actually none right now. They're one of those luxury items I cut out in favour of beer, books and CDs...
3. Inspired by the silly sitcom meme: You get to choose who plays you in the movie of your life. Who, and for what reason?
Mary Stuart Masterton, of Fried Green Tomatoes vintage, with her hair dyed brown. Because she has the same youthful, pixie-ish physical qualities, and the scope to cover my personality with all its neuroses. And she'd play me with a bit more courage than I currently have. ;)
4. The most irritating description of yourself said by another person (that nevertheless you have to admit the truth of) is?
BRM once accused me of being my own worst enemy - that I almost deliberately sabotage myself. It annoyed the hell out of me, but he was right, at least about the worst enemy bit. If I gave that part of myself free rein, I'd never do anything.
5. Anywhere in the world, money is no object, internet access is a given -- where would you live? Trick is, this is a permanent location.
Ack, permanent? This one's tricky, because there's a whole bunch of places I haven't seen yet and so can't have a definite opinion of. Get back to you in five years? *grins*
Also, welcome to CherryIce and Lafee, who have recently joined the list of people who read this thing (that I've actually noticed, that is. I'm notoriously bad at checking my lists for new people). Why, I have no idea, but welcome any way... *grins*
The job interview went okay yesterday - not great, but it was really a learning exercise more than anything. I've also arranged with a co-worker to get some tips on technique tomorrow, and I'm going to be getting feedback from those in the panel next week. So I'll be all set for the interview on Thursday for Sunshine, the job I actually have a good chance of getting. I'd start chasing that stuff up today, only I'm on front counter duty and here I'm supposed to stay.
I had [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] over for dinner last night. Not one of the greatest culinary efforts (I was exhausted after the interview trauma), but fun was had. :)
One more sleep til Brisbane! *happy dances*
