I know it’s about as far from Tuesday as it gets, but this looked fun.

1. 5 of your favorite words.

2. 5 of your favorite quotes.

3. 5 things you like about your job (if you have one).

4. 5 places you would like to live.

5. 5 things you like about blogging (or the internet in general).

 

1. Eucatastrophe, passion, Zhai’helleva, serenity, and 遺伝子組み換え作物 (idenshikumikaesakumotsu, the most impressive Japanese word I know. It means genetically modified crops).

 

2. Hahaha. See the bottoms of my posts. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” is probably my favourite. Not that it helps much.

 

3. Well, the only work I’m doing at the moment is some tutoring. I like that my tutoree is nice and we get on well. I like that I get to go back to my high school. I like remembering all the good times I had doing IB. I like that I can now drive there by myself. I like it when my tutoree points out something interesting that I missed.

 

4. In a little apartment in a huge city, somewhere I can see the horizon and millions of stars, in a gypsy-style caravan travelling in Europe, Japan, and, (just to be totally unrealistic) in Valdemar or on Voyager. Yes, that’s six, but what could I leave out?

 

5. Having time to express things exactly how I want to. How the weirdest phenomena get combined, such as the Lolcats Bible and Star Trek inspirational posters. That you occasionally find people with the same odd combination of interests as you. That there’s always someone more obsessed than I am. That ANYTHING you want to know is just a google away (“I don’t know, but Wikipedia does!”)

 

Another of my favourite quotes: “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.” Mark Twain
