1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be?
Paramahansa Yogananda. Or Kathryn Kuhlman. Better yet, whoever taught Yogananda. Hope I get the services of a good translator.
2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?
Well, I'm female, and I have the radical idea that I'm human, so I better say future. Plus I have nasty pain that only modern painkillers or maybe surgery can fix, so I had definitely better say future.
3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be?
That depends on whether I get to take friends and family with me. If I do, I'd better go for a place where English is spoken. Somewhere just north of Vancouver comes to mind. But if it's just me, well, I would spend a LOT of time scouting... :-) then pick someplace with lots of natural beauty and a cool language and relative freedom for women and good access to an airport. Scotland, Iceland, Finland, Norway, wine country in the south of France, Switzerland except they're a bit too uptight for me, Colorado, Alaska... have to check out the local laws and customs, too, it wouldn't do to have to come all the way back here to go target shooting or sit nekkid in a hot tub...
4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be?
Jinian Star-Eye. She's got a brain AND a heart AND guts AND a sense of purpose AND someone who loves her. (Runners-up: Elspeth of Valdemar, Don Shimoda, Superman.)
5. If you had to live with having someone else's face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be?
Somebody with skin that matches the rest of my body, good cheekbones, and a ready smile. I don't know who that'd be. My mom, unless that's cheating!

Notice when I placed myself back in the past, I also changed my gender. :-P Though to be honest, I would like to visit the future, if for no other reason than to see how some of the stories we're writing now end up.

Yeah, if I could truly effectively change my gender (have a fully functioning male body) I'd've done that by now. For one thing, I'd nearly kill to be a dad, never mind the much bigger change of being perceived as a human. I wonder how many women would really want to be in the past as women. Who writes these questions? Bet it's someone white, too.
Didn't even think of that aspect of visiting the future... see how things turn out! :-)

Rondo and I used to have this type of discussion. Him: "I would have loved to live in Ancient Greece." Me: "*I* wouldn't; the status of women there was hardly better than the status of slaves! And what if I ended up a female slave?" Him: "Oh. I didn't think of that."
Now, much to his credit, he *does* think of that, quite a bit more often.

Wow, thanks. That's a big compliment.

A man with clue! You got yourself one in a million there, sister. Keep him! :-)
