March Question Month Answers, Part One

[kybearfuzz]

The very furry kow barak asked several questions:

Question one:
What do you dream and hope to accomplish within the next year, the next five years, the next ten years? And what's stopping you?

I hate to say it, but usually when I look forward, I look forward mainly in terms of my career. I should change that. In the next year, I hope to get better at what I'm doing, though there is an opportunity to move up that recently presented itself that I'm pondering. In the next five, I'll have paid off my house and I hope to use the money I'm currently handing out for my mortgage to do more fun things, like travel. Workwise, I will probably have moved on to another position at work. As for ten years ahead, I honestly haven't thought that far ahead.

On a personal level, I would hope to find a special guy for me, but I know that time has less to do with it than chemistry.

Question two:
Pretend you're in a dating meat market warehouse where there are hundreds of men. Before you can leave, you have to sort through them for prospective dates, using any parameters you want to find your ideal man. How (and what) would you choose?

LOL! You forgot to add that I could afford any of them. While there are some obvious points I'd look for physically, such a body and facial hair, the rest is up in the air. He would need to have a great sense of humor, be intellectually stimulating, and want to be with me instead of NEED to be with me. He should be of an independent sort and have the sex drive of a horny college student. He would be one who could accept my faults and know that I would accept any he has.

I feel a bit silly, like I'm ordering car with the amenities I want. If I stick a DVD up his rear, can I watch moves while looking into his eyes?

Question three:
What do you consider your most precious possessions?

I have thought about this before. If there was a fire, what would you grab to make sure you didn't lose it? Assuming the cats are safe, I'd grab my tee-shirt quilt that my mom made for me, my computer back-up drive (with all my family pics on there), and my Leonard & Larry original.

Bonus:
Fill in the blanks:
Would you consider moving across the country, could you juggle, will you eat chocolate today, might you grow old, dare you Answer these same questions?

Two more weeks of March and it's March Question Month. If you want to ask me anything at all, post to this entry. IP addresses are not logged if you want to ask anonymously.

I did not know you had Leonard & Larry original!

Oh yeah. I bought it off eBay years and years ago. It came already matted and framed from a couple of guys out in Virginia. I wish I remembered their names. It would be good to get in touch with them now.

This hangs in my home office next to my drafting table.

How very cool. I have all the books. I keep them all together. One fell into some water once and I managed to rescue it without any damage. I had them in the nightstand cabinet for awhile and had forgotten that I moved them to a shelf. I noticed the other day that the gunoil leaked in that cabinet and soaked part of a thin book. i was horrified that it was a L & L (fitting, but still....) then I realized that I had moved them. *whew*

LOL

I have them all too and I try to care for them, especially that third, very hard-to-find, out-of print "Ring Cycle" book.

When Tim Barela retired the book because of a lack of publisher, I was crushed and kept hoping that another magazine would pick it up.
