[serene]

201. Put these creatures in order from what you would most like to be reincarnated as (1), to what you would least like to be reincarnated as (10) assuming reincarnation ended up existing AND you were given a choice.

(9) caterpillar, (3) house dog, (8) wild dog, (6) vulture, (2) male human, (1) female human, (7) oak tree, (10) rock, (5) manta ray, (4) dolphin


202. What do you feel unworthy of?

Being treated badly.

203. Would you rather be remembered for having done something for humanity or being a really nice person?

The former, if I have to choose.

204. Which do you value more: science or intuition?

If I have to choose, I say science, but I think I make a lot of decisions based on my gut feeling of what will work for me, so I'm not discounting the value of intuition (which I think is actually a word for a phenomenon I'd be more likely to call "the amazing pattern-recognition powers of the human mind")

205. Your best friend and your significant other are in the hospital at the same time with the same ailment. Who do you visit first?

My significant others are my best friends, but if they weren't, I'd visit whoever was awake and ready to see me. My partners and friends aren't the sort to battle over my time, but if one of them needs me right away, I'll go do that.

206. Does the universe revolve around human beings?

Certainly not. That's just silly.

207. If you are no longer a virgin, do you wish you still were?

No no no no no. I "lost" my virginity on purpose, and I don't want it back.

Right now, it's a tossup between final_girl and sistercoyote, but Mary Oliver and Sharon Olds and Marge Piercy are other faves.

209. What is your favorite song from the 90's?

Don't know. I can't even bring to mind which of my favorite songs are from the '90s.

I don't have the time and inclination to do something like that.

214. Have you ever seen the movie A Man Who Fell to Earth?

I don't think so.

Just about any line from "Bull Durham". Ooh, or maybe "How can I leave this behind?" from Spinal Tap.

216. What's your favorite video game?

Lately, Snood.

217. Have you ever taken something that wasn't yours?

Oh, yes. Lots of times. Not recently, though.

KFC Cole Slaw, hands down.

224. What would someone have to do to get you to never speak to him or her again?

Yes.

226. Have you ever said 'I hate everyone' and really meant it literally?

No.

227. Why do some people want to get more money than they could ever spend?

It's a fun game; society connects money with goodness; money is power.

228. Have you ever won a carnival fish?

*laugh* Yes, I have.

229. Did it live more than a week?

Nope.

230. What's the best sounding accent a person can have?

Hmm. I like accents; can't pick a fave.

231. What's the most boring thing you've ever read?

The last tech manual I edited. It was for a software system that determines load levels for concrete flooring.

232. Do you prefer buttons or touch screens?

Buttons.

233. Do you think there is a lot of similarity between the Harry Potter books and the Lord of the Rings series?

241. Is fifty dollars a lot of money?

Sometimes.

242. Do you like the band Front 242 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_242)?

Self-satisfaction.

245. What is the absolute limit, the craziest thing you would do for a million dollars?

Dunno. If someone makes me a bona fide offer, I'll consider it.

246. Are you good, evil or neutral?

I'm good. Not entirely good, but on balance.

247. Should ebonics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebonics) be considered a language?

I think it's an umbrella term for some characteristics of a group of dialects of the English language. I don't think anyone ever intended it to be taught as a language of its own, as I hear many people assert.

248. What color is your bedroom?

White.

What color would you like it to be?

I don't care.

249. When are you planning to move to a new home?

When I have the money to move to something that meets our needs better. That won't be any time soon, and it's fine, because we love the place we're in.

250. If you added up the cost of everything in the room with you, approximately what would it come out to be?

Original cost? Somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 or more, probably, because this is a big room that includes our computers, kitchen appliances, living-room furniture, books, CDs, software, etc.
