Getting to know me

The following is a response/reaction to the blog of Trish, a current North Carolinian & future librarian:

Courtesy of Green Fairy, there's a trend circling now of questions ala Friday Five, but contributed by your nearest and dearest bloggers.

1. If you want to participate, leave a comment saying "interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person's will be different.
3. You will update your journal with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

The five given to me were:
1. Why did you pick a pseudonym, and why that particular one?

To maintain a sense of mystery about myself, and to avoid getting spam e-mails about penis enlargements & mortgage reductions. The pseudonym I've chosen is an anagram of my actual name, as discovered by the Internet Anagram Server.


2. What's the most difficult thing you find about living in LA?

The traffic. Not only are there a lot of cars out here, but 99.99% of them are driven by complete morons. Hey buddy, ever hear of a turn signal? Then use it! Why are you still stopped at a green light? What are you waiting for, an invitation?


3. What, or who, do you regard as the pinnacle of human effort?

What - Man landing on the moon.

Who - Jonas Salk discovering a cure for polio.


4. How do you feel about Ahnold running for Governor of your fine state?

It worries me, since the fine voters of this state might actually put him in office. I personally find the whole recall thing a monumental waste of time and money....a complete joke, and not such an amusing one at that. If this can happen, why not have a recall election on the federal level? The economy still sucks, they still haven't found those WMDs in Iraq, and where's Osama bin Laden?


5. Do you see yourself married with kids, just married, or still single in five years? Ten years?

5 years - Single.

10 years - Double, if I don't start watching my weight.
