Interview Meme!
If you want me to interview you....
Here are the rules:
1 -- Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 -- I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 -- You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 -- You'll include this explanation.
5 -- You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
She asked me some questions...
1. If you found a hundred dollar bill, you don't see who dropped it, it's not in an envelope or anything, just laying there, do you keep it or turn it in to someone?
With no identifying marks, and just on the street? I'd keep it. It's not like there would be any way to figure out who it belonged to. If it was in a more closed environment, like on the floor at the office, I'd look for its owner. (I know this, because I did this the other day... one of the guys down the hall dropped a small wad of cash next to my desk. Not that many people had come by, so finding the person who dropped it was not difficult.)
2. If the answer to the above is turn it in, do you believe the police will actually try to find out who it belongs to, or keep it (or whoever you turn it into to.) If you keep it, what do you buy with it?
My new rule about finances is that any money that comes to me as a result of anything other than my usual paycheck goes half into savings (which will eventually go to pay for travel and/or a down payment on a new car), and the rest may fairly be spent on frivolity. Like books!
3. If you woke up as a character in book, but you were forced to stay there, who would you be? What book?
I don't know, really. Authors have a regrettable tendency to kill off the characters that I identify with in particularly horrible ways. Still, off the cuff, I'd say Miss Portinari, from the Illuminatus! books.
4. Paper or plastic?
Plastic. They're so much easier to carry. And we use them for trash bags. We are talking about in the grocery store, right?
5. Would you ever consider plastic surgery?
Sure. I don't see any particular need for it right now, but I hold the general opinion that you ought to be able to make yourself look like anything you want to look like. I can't say what I'd have done though, because at the moment, I don't have any major issues with my appearance.
