Uh oh, what have I let myself in for?

From drjon:

A: Any regrets?

Sure. Lots.

B: You live an amaz­ingly hectic and dense life. What don’t you manage to fit in, that you really wish you could?

More sex. Ser­i­ously, more read­ing time. And I wish I could fit in trips to the forests for forest protests like I did in my early 20s.

C: Off to Spain some­time soon, for a while I’d guess. Will you come back for Woodfords?

Abso­lutely. The ideal is to spend half my year in Spain and half in Aus­tralia. I would come back around Novem­ber to go to Earth­core and then Wood­ford, be here for my birth­day in Janu­ary, edit some things, maybe this travel magazine, teach Semester 1 of the Aus­tralian uni­ver­sity cal­en­dar and leave for Spain again in June. Maybe I’d travel around art shows and digital cul­ture things through­out Europe during that time, but some years I’d just work in Spain, teach­ing Eng­lish journ­al­ism or some­thing. Guest edit­ing summer tour­ist guides and art mags maybe.

D: Are you a thresh­hold person? I notice that you seem to be very open amongst the people I usu­ally see you with. Are you like that all the time, or is it just the envir­on­ment I nor­mally see you in?

I’m like that most of the time (if I’ve inter­preted ‘open’ cor­rectly; I’m not sure what you mean by a ‘thresh­hold person’). It’s one of the things people have issues with. I’m trying to learn that not every one wants to know abso­lutely everything about my life but I find it a chal­lenge. I’m just not very private and if you ask me some­thing dir­ectly, I will gen­er­ally just answer you hon­estly. I also volun­teer waaay too much and that’s the bit I’m trying to cut back on. It’s also a very good way to keep some of the more per­sonal things com­pletely under the radar. Every­one assumes that I have noth­ing to hide since I’m so incred­ibly open about things they would never share.

E: Where are my car keys? I love your kit­chen. This isn’t really a ques­tion, I just wanted to say that I love witch’s kit­chens, and yours is a won­der­ful example.

Right. Thanks. That should be ‘witches’ kit­chens’ by the way. *grin* I like my kit­chen too, now that I’ve cleaned it.

Ques­tions for you:

1. Favour­ite film? Why?
2. What one thing do you miss least about Bris­bane, exclud­ing the heat, and why?
3. What is your favour­ite thing about Alison and why?
4. If you could change an aspect of the Aus­tralian polit­ical system, what would it be?
5. Why dis­cor­d­ian magic? (you know, just a little question…)
