Doooooo it!

Stolen from a whole bunch of cool peoples because I don't have energy at the moment for a real entry:

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. ask me anything you want and i will answer it. then, i want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

And yeah. I have work to do. :)

1. You have won a prize. You get a house and $1,000,000 to get your professional career started comfortably. You cannot defer any part of this prize, you have to take it all now. If you sell the house before 10 years, you forfeit everything. Where are you going to live, what career will you pursue, and why?

2. Strangely, you have won another prize. ;) The Dead Writers Guild has awarded you the chance to meet Virginia Woolf and Mark Twain. You get 12 hours to spend in their combined companyfor dinner, drinks, and conversation.

On the same night, Everclear is playing show at your school, to which you have front row/center tickets. After the show you get 4 backstage passes and an invite to Art's hotel room where you can share room service and talk all night.

You can only attend one event. Which do you go to?

3. If forced to choose, would you rather lose your sight or your hearing, for the rest of your life.

1. Hmmm. Well, okay. If I had $1,000,000 (I'd buy you a green dress), I would probably pursue a writing career, because with that kind of money I could actually do it. ;) As a kid when people asked what I wanted to do when I grew up, after getting over the initial thrills of wanting to be an actress or a singer, I would say I wanted to be an author. I kind of moved away from that in high school and now, partly because I find writing incredibly stressful, and partly because I'd have to find a job to supplement it, cause an unknown author doesn't make money. :P So that part is easy.

As for where I'd live...I would want to live on the coast somewhere, where I could hear the ocean, and there'd have to be lots of trees. But I'd also want to be somewhere where there was at least some semblance of seasonal changes. And I'm such an east coast girl...so probably off the coast of New England somewhere. I don't think I can pinpoint it anymore than that. :P

2. This one isn't fair, cause how cool would it be to sit and talk to my favorite rock star ever? But, how could I in good conscience give up a chance to have dinner with two authors I find to be incredibly fascinating? Cause that's gotta be the coolest prize ever. ;) I think I could learn a whole heck of a lot more from the two of them, plus Mark Twain was just a really funny guy. :)

3. Okay, so this question has always killed me. :P How can I choose between music and sunsets? My sister's face or her voice? But I think I would go crazy if I were forced to sit in silence for the rest of my life, having to watch other people move their lips, laugh at jokes, and not be allowed to listen in. So I would probably give up sight, and plus I would get one of those cool seeing-eye dogs. :)


Those were hard! Distractions are fun! :)
