questions from the lovely arliss

1.If you could pursue any career, regardless of schooling or background,
what would it be? What's your dream job?

I'd like to a own a bookshop, nothing fancy, just a used and new shop, with a store cat or maybe, maybe be different and have a store hamster. I'd have a section of vintage cookbooks, a YA/children's section, feminist books, stuff for liberal Christians (and pagans), steampunk, cyber punk, stuff like that. Maybe a computer set up so people can get acquainted with e publishers (not sure how that would work but it seems like a good idea). WiFi, comfy chairs, and decorated with fannish stuff (action figures, toys things like that), local art, a place to buy books or hang out and shoot the breeze and talk books (or movies/tv/etc).


2.You seem to like living in Florida. If you had the chance to live
anywhere else on earth, where do you think you'd like to live? Why?

Honestly I've been here mostly because I haven't had the guts to leave, but looking back I haven't been ready to fly the next. But it's a nice place to live. If I could live anywhere, I'd like to live a couple of different places -- San Francisco for one. I was only there briefly, but it just felt familiar and comfortable and I never felt weird or overwhelmed. And then some where in the UK, not London, that was rather overwhelming. Maybe a town about the same size as here, most of the places I went (when I was briefly there) had the same feeling of comfortableness and familiarity.

3.I know you've taken lessons in dancing. What's your favorite dance to
perform, and why?

The Hustle! Seriously, it's sooo much fun. It makes me smile. There are spins and turns and all kinds of neat moves and it's fast! It's easy (at least for me) to pick up new moves and you can take turns and various moves from West Coast Swing, Swing, merenege, and other dances and incorporate it into hustle. Plus the music is always fun.

4. You've become vegetarian in the last year or so. What's one of your
favorite vegetarian recipes? What do you miss?

Unfortunately I haven't found the One True Meal for Vegetarian, probably my favorite is the spinach lasagna, which I loved when I was an omni. I'm looking for the One True Veggie dish/meal. I miss bacon - BACON! yummy bacon. My OTM as an omni was country fried steak, fried okra, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, and sweet tea, oddly I don't really miss the country fried steak. Fried shrimp is the other thing.

5. You're a fangurl who gets to meet her favorite fannish object--who is
it? What do you talk about?

I'm going to be a bit of a fangirl cliche and say David Hewlitt. I'd just love to sit down and geek out with about Dr Who and other stuff, my reaction would be "BEES! omigodimadork!". But if I could stretch "fannish object" to include fictional characters, then Wes -- not last season Angel Wes when he was all broken, or 1st Season when he was still a dork, maybe late S2/early S3. Just because he has spicy brains and a yummy accent.
