Friday Five (I stole it)
1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
Play an instrument well. I learned enough piano to scrape by in music theory classes, and then promptly forgot it. I still look longingly at pianos at estate sales. I'd like to learn how to play the cello too, but I think that's from my continual listening to Rasputina.
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
Yes. But if the thing is dreadful, I try and point out the good aspects of it AND offer helpful suggestions.
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?
Yes. I was dismayed by it, but moved on because the friendship was still good.
4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
Oh dear oh dear. Um, my top 3 choices:
1. The setting of College of Magics. Edwardian era with magic. Oh gosh, no, I'd hate that.Sorcery and Cecelia - Regency-era England with magic? Sign me up!
2. Hogwarts. Yes, I'm serious. In my childhood, I imagined places like Hogwarts, and desperately wanted to find and go live in them.
3.Sorcery and Cecelia - Regency-era England with magic? Sign me up! DJ Eternaldarkness pointed out I had forgotten the Discworld. Yep, Terry Pratchett trumps S&C. But I do worry that I'd be some sort of unholy melding of Susan, Agnes, and Perdita.
5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?
The ability to learn languages easily. I'm horrible at it.
