Random meme-y-ness

This could be dangerous. Heh.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want (though I reserve the right to not answer, or to answer evasively). Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including me) to ask you anything.

My three....

[jestyna.livejournal.com]

1) Why'd you choose to be a librairian?

2) If you won a lottery, some insane amount of money, say $30 millions dollars, what would you do with it?

3) Can/will you help me make a better icon for my LJ?

1) Honestly, it was because a BA in English is useless. Having just finished writing my Honours thesis, I had vague ideas of doing academic research about research, etc. Then I discovered that I have very strong opinions about freedom of access to information, the right to and need for basic information literacy, and the right to read for pleasure. Voila. Turned me into a youth services librarian, albeit an underemployed one right now.

2) Hmm. Start a writer's commune? *g* Travel. Go and visit friends, and/or have them come visit me. Build a house, with a garden. Donate some of it to assorted foundations and charities. Start a scholarship for 1) academic study of fandom and fanfic, 2) Library school students interested in youth services. Pay Joss Whedon to produce anything he wants. Not spend it ALL on kibble, like Trout would do.

3) Yes!

1. What is your greatest regret?

2. How many times have you been in love?

3. If you could have knowledge of the secrets of life and death, but there was a 50% chance that this knowledge would kill you, would you?

1. Hmm. Well, while I do have regrets (who doesn't?) I don't think I have one great regret. Ask me when I'm ninety. *g* Hopefully, my life will have been interesting enough to rack up a few. (I say, tongue strictly in cheek.)

2. Probably three or four times. This is complicated by the fact that I'd been falling madly in love with girls for years (in fact, since crushing on one of the girls two years ahead of me in Girl Guides at the tender age of nine) without realizing that's what I was doing. Heh.

3. No, I don't think so. Not just because of the risk of death, but because I think that if you lived, that having that knowledge would severely alter your ability to interact with "mere mortals" *g* and I just don't think I'm cut out to be the tortured, brooding oracle sort.

I'm curious...

1. I'm guessing I know what your greatest joy is, so what's your second-greatest joy?

2. What's something special about you?

3. As a natural philosopher, I'd like to know: how do you sleep? On your back, side, front? Do you sleep still or move about? Any other sleepy details you'd like to add? :)

1. That's tough. Probably stories and storytelling, whether it's a book or a really good movie or just something that resonates with me on whatever level. I think that stories are very important to our collective emotional and spiritual well-being as a species, and a really good book can be such a fantastic high.

2. Something special. Hmm. I was born two and a half months premature, and spent the first few months of my life in an incubator. That, I do not remember, but I do remember being the shortest kid in my class by a full head until I was about eight or nine.

3. I tend to sleep on my stomach, with one arm under my pillow, under my head, and the other pulling the blankets up to my chin. Even when it's far too hot, I have to be able to pull up the sheets. And I tend to sleep facing the wall. I've been told that I steal the covers.

1. What, other than random stupidness, angers you most?

2. When the stars are bright and the wind is cold, but you are outside anyway because the night is beautiful, what do you think of?

3. What's the weirdest thing that ever made you sneeze?

[daemonluna.livejournal.com]

*cough* Behind answering comments? Who, me?

1. Probably needless cruelty and meaness. Especially being mean or belittling about someone when you know it's going to get back to them, and just not caring or stopping to think about it. I believe, not so much if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all, but if you're going to say something to hurt someone else, think about it first, and don't say it if it's not going to accomplish anything positive in the end.

2. On a night like that, that I want to be somewhere where the city lights aren't, and if I am, I would just drink in the cold, pure beauty of it. And maybe make some vague resolutions to learn a bit more about astronomy. *g*

3. Huh. I honestly can't think of anything really wierd that's made me sneeze, other than the usual stuff like dust or a bad cold.
