Saw this on my feed reader this morning and thought it would a good way to indulge in my favorite hobby: procrastination.
What were you doing ten years ago?
…? Um. Living in a cheapass apartment on Wilson Street in Manchester, NH? I <3ed that apartment so much. What else was going on….? I’d given up fiction writing a year earlier (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!). I have no idea what I was doing with my time. I had a boyfriend then—we’d been dating just a few months, so I was probably just hanging out with him, watching TV and playing with spreadsheets or whatever. In fact, I think I was moving him into my cheapass apartment around this time ten years ago.
What are five things on your to-do list for today (not in any particular order)?
- Work out (which I should be doing right now)
- Write moar
- Chat with Rockfickers on IRC
- Make hamburgers
- Put Anbesol on a tooth that’s just started tweaking this morning
What are some snacks you enjoy?
What are some snacks I don’t enjoy? Srsly. Crackerjacks–I don’t like Crackerjacks and never have. Or pistachios.
What would you do if you were a billionaire?
I like to think that not much would change…except maybe I’d hire a house band. How much do you have to give a band a year, do you think, to have them hanging around ready to play whenever you wanted to hear them?
Maybe it’d just be cheaper, easier and less awkward to go on the road and see any band I want, wherever they happen to be playing. That’s the dream life….
And I’d have an electric car, a smaller house on a larger plot of land, and chickens.
Definitely chickens.
(Ooh! I could open my own venue for bands to come play at!)
(Great. Just great. Now I’m going to spend the rest of the day daydreaming about what kind of club I’d open, how big it would be, what I’d call it, who’d come play there, how I’d promote it, what it’d look like…. This is not what I need my brain working on. Who came up with this stupid question?)
(I should have stopped at the chickens.)
What are five places you have lived?

- Manchester, NH

What are five jobs you have had?
BORING QUESTION! REFUSE TO ANSWER! (I did used to work with air-to-ground missiles and laser and low-level-laser guided bombs, though. And these days I’m an editor. That’s all you’re getting!)
