May. 24th, 2005 12:02 amThat five question meme...
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
Here are the questions![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
turtleduck posted for me (and my answers):
1. I think you'd make a good father. Do you think you'll ever want kids?
Thank you, and yes. I expect to eventually have at least a daughter. My sister even called me, unprompted, and said she'd surrogate for me; that was so sweet. :)
2. You have so many talents; how did you end up working in computers?
( The short answer is I ended up working in computers completely by happenstance. )
3. What is your greatest fear?
Never succeeding at anything for a sustainable amount of time. I have a long history of quitting or failing, at least in the eyes of others, to some greater or lesser degree.
This was the hardest of the questions for me to answer. There is little that i fear, or so it seems after several hours of introspection and chatting with people who've know me for a long time. There's one other person whose input i want on this one, so i may edit my response to this question tomorrow, oh, look at the time; i mean later today.
4. What annoys the living daylights out of you?
Willful ignorance (especially, though not only, when paired with self-righteousness), Bigotry of any stripe, & Leaf blowers, equally. I'm sure there are other things, but those are the biggies. And i know it's an odd grouping, but alas, if i could ban any 1 technology, it would be leaf blowers.
5. If you were independently wealthy, how would you occupy your time?
First, i’d buy houses: one in toward the city, one out in the mountains somewhere, on 600 or so acres. I would then go back to school and finish at least a BA in linguistics, specializing in some combination of Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic, and then see what happens from there. I think eventually i would go on to become a teacher, as that’s what i’ve always wanted to do.
