Friday Five — Unreality?
1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have? Get married. (Well, I wasn't about to end up married to some jerk just to BE married!)
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest? People don't ask me this sort of stuff! I dress for comfort more than looks so I guess nobody thinks I have enough taste for my opinion to matter.
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened? Of course I have, but I'm not going to discuss it here!
4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
The Star Trek universe has eliminated two of the biggest bugbears of my present life:
1) At least on Earth and in Starfleet, money and health care are not issues. Everybody gets what they need as a matter of course.
2) Replicator technology would be the perfect solution to my terrible eating habits. I tend to skip meals and then overeat when I do bother to fix something. With a handy dandy replicator I could get exactly what I want to eat at the moment I want it. I'd then eat just a few bites because the leftovers would never go to waste—the atoms would just be recycled into the next meal—and I'd know I could always get more later. (As things stand now, with the time I have to invest in shopping, cooking, and cleanup, when I fix a meal it feels like I deserve to pig out as a reward for working so hard. Bad!)
5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted? Drawing/painting. Have all these great illustrations in my head but they're doomed to stay there.
