1. If money/job/travel to see friends and relatives were no object where would you want to live most?
If the United States manage to swing back to something a little closer to center (or even, dare we ask, left), I'm thinking of Seattle. If not, I hear the south of France is nice, and kittenpants is an evangelist for Hungary, which would also be good. Of course, I've never been to any of those places, so this answer is subject to change.

2. What is one hobby/interest/time-waster you really love to do but wished it didn't take up so much of your time?
I'd like to be able to spend more time with pastry. I <3 pastry. Thing that I currently do that takes up more time than it should, but is still stupid fun, though, is video games.

3. If you could go back in time and tell your younger self not to date a specific person in your past, would you do it? More than once?
I'm not sure. If I could be certain that I would still end up with the folks I'm with now, I certainly would. Just once, though. I haven't really dated all that many people, and the others were all either positive experiences or redeemably interesting experiences (as in, yeah, that was dumb, but I have a great story that came out of it!).

4. What is your favorite meal to cook for yourself?
Jalapeno poppers. Please note that this is neither a meal, nor something that I can actually cook. However, if I'm at home by myself, and there are frozen jalapeno poppers in the freezer, I will be more likely to bake and devour them than pretty much anything else. Meals that actually require actual cooking, I prefer chicken and yellow rice, with bananas foster for dessert :)

5. (Going to be my standard question for all these) What is your favorite charity/good cause to donate time/money/anything to?
I donate more often to the Red Cross than any other charity. This is probably more because they are easy and accessible to donate to than because they are particularly worthy. Things I'd like to support more because I find them particularly worthy include Heifer, Habitat for Humanity, PROMO, Planned Parenthood and NPR. I'm really remiss in this area, though. :(

Blecky cold. A bit of a cough, and that 900# voice going on. People are leaving me alone, thank goodness. I'm getting lots of piddly little things done while I loiter on LJ, so the day isn't a complete loss either way.
