Questions

2. Tonight you can do anything you want, no penalties, no reprisals, and the cost is unimportant. What are you going to do?

Start my grand tour of the world, by starting at Seattle and flying over to Australia. I would stay at hostels, meeting the most fascinating people, and travel with them wherever the wind blew me, and learning as much about them and the places I visit that I possibly could. I would try a bit of everything good-the food, the art, the culture, the history, the ethnicity of the people. I would want to see life from a local's perspective instead of a tourist's.

The second thing I would do if I could would be to work in a foreign office for a year or two to gain experience on the international level.

The third thing would be to join the Peace Corps for the two-year stint.

The fourth thing would be to travel in the Middle East, where I would be untouchable--aka no one could hurt me--but I would be able to see life as it truly is over there.

The fifth thing I would do is fly down to south America and go Salsa or Tango dancing.

The sixth thing would be to find the most remote spot and stargaze

The seventh thing would be: everything else I haven't mentioned :O)

3. If they were making a movie about your life, what would it be called and which actor would play you?

This is THE hardest question for me! I think I would get a sick kick out of watching Ozzie Osborne's daughter play me--because she's such a screwed up screwball and I'm not, so it might be fun watching her be kind, and sweet, and caring, and giving, and helping, with no huge partying and drinking, but rather enjoying the simple things of life, like taking a walk and seeing the sun set, or going to Barnes and Noble for hours to read books, or scuba diving/snorkeling, and finding peace and joy in being independent and a whole person. I would want her (I forgot her name and I'm too lazy to Google her right now) because I have a weird sense of humor and it would crack me up :O).

I think I might want to call the movie, "Self Discovery," and make it more of a documentary with a bit of role-playing rather than a novelistic drama movie. It would be an educational film rather than pure entertainment. Or maybe not. I don't know but this question is making me think at least :O).

Wow. You can do all that in one night? Esp. two years in the peace corps? Did I tell you that my brother is planning on doing two years in the PC, in West Africa? Pretty crazy, huh? I think one year in Russia is enough for me ;) I still am going to do a bunch of traveling, but at this point I really miss home.

So what was the reason for starting anew with your blog, if I may ask?

Well, I'll have to tell you in a private email why I'm starting a new blog

But a generic answer is, the other one is getting too big and annoying for me.... I guess if I knew how to re-format it, I might go back to it... which I might try to do here soon (aka tonight) but if I can't figure it out, I'm staying with this one because of the formatting.

When is your brother leaving for Africa? Has he been accepted yet, or is it just a goal/dream for him? I am fascinated by the Peace Corps, however, I'm not so keen on going by myself. Heidi L. is interested in doing it, so there's always the possibility of going with her. Who knows. Its not so high on my priority list right now, but its something I could see myself doing and being very happy with that endeavor. I'm game for pretty much anything right now, for several reasons.

1. Foot loose and fancy free.
2. Foot loose and fancy free.
3. Foot loose and fancy free.
4. Foot loose and fancy free.
5. Foot loose and fancy free.
6. Foot loose and fancy free.

etcetera.

But I know I would be devestatingly lonely if I didn't have someone to go with me, so I'd never do it alone. So pretty much thats my biggest stipulation right now--find someone to go with.

Alrighty. I need to prepare for Dodds class, and get home, because my flatmate cooked dinner, and its getting cold on me! Later dude.
