a history of me

I ran across this on another blog. Sorry, only bloggers are eligible to play. I'll make a regular post later tonight (or tomorrow, if I go out).

1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below asking to be interviewed.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person's will be different.
3. You will update your journal/blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

These questions were posed by Charby:

1 - What species of animal do you think the world could lose if it was to you to choose one species to save the rest from extinction and why?
This is a hard question because there are many types of critters I would love to erase from existence! If I could only pick one, it would be the mosquito. Who would miss it? They hurt, they spread disease and they suck. Bad pun, yes.

2 - The traditional one I guess - biggest regret?
Honestly, I try very hard not to dwell on past mistakes (as what's done is done) but I can't deny that I've got my share of regrets. While certain recent actions weigh very heavily on my mind, the biggest of all time would have to be taking my time before returning to school. Four years ago, I visited Japan and I knew right away that I wanted to go back to school to study so I could return someday. Yet it was over a year later when I finally enrolled in community college. Then I spent far too long there building up my confidence before trying to enroll full-time. If I had responded sooner to my revelation, I'd be a better student and I might even have finished my degree by now. Plus I wouldn't have spent all that time wasting away in the Post Office....ugh!

3 - Describe your perfect day, from the moment you wake to the moment you sleep It can even include stuff that's impossible like talking to the dead or learning you have wings to fly with.
I would wake up in my spacious New York apartment. The headline on the New York Times would be "Bush Impeached." I'd have a fabulous omelet (I'm thinking mushrooms, onions, and swiss cheese) before heading to roof. I'd fly to Japan under my own power and it would take less than an hour. I'd spend the day acting as an interpreter (being fluent in several languages) stopping for lunch in Hong Kong with Zhang Ziyi. After my day of work was over, I'd fly back to U.S., have dinner in New York with my girlfriend and I would propose to her in Washington Square Park. There would be much rejoicing and some sex.

4 - Money's no object, what do you buy first?
The above-mentioned spacious apartment in New York.

5 - You can get a team of top class scientists to do anything you want, do you a) pick a cure for cancer. b) bring the dead back to life c) get them to make you an invisibility cloak or d) come up with the perfect meal?

Invisibility! I'm very selfish.
