nigeltdeIs anyone else REPEATEDLY getting errors when making comments? And then if you go back and try again but don't refresh the page it'll post the comment in response to the main post and not the comment you want to reply to? I have to attempt journal updates twice too.
So about ten gazillion years ago![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
theantimodel asked me some questions for that interview meme (you know, reply and I'll ask you five questions):
1. What's the best birthday present you've ever gotten?
I honestly couldn't pick one particular present. One lovely one I had this year was, well, there's a bit of a tradition in my family and with a few of my friends where we take each other trail-riding as presents. My sister and I went for such a ride for my birthday this year that was possibly the best ride I've had in years. When the stars are in alignment for that kind of thing it's just magic, so fulfilling and uplifiting.
2. Which is better: cake or pie?
We don't really have a pie tradition in Australia *g* While I enjoy a good warm apple pie with ice-cream, nothing beats a good chocolate mud cake...
3. What accomplishment are you most proud of?
Lasting a month in a foreign country in the midst of a group of people with whom I didn't feel I much in common at all. I learnt a shitload, and it was the first time I was really by myself and had to act like a grown-up. I mean, I booked my own plane tickets! WOAH!
4. If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
To awaken that little piece of everybody's brain that seems to be dormant at the moment, that little bit that places you in a wider context, as a citizen in a diverse society, as a person not only enmeshed in a local network of community and city but also vast world stage, as one simple organism in a complex environment, as a moment in time that stretches backwards and forwards and out to the sides. I just want people to think BEYOND themselves. When people STILL think that it's fine to throw your plastic McDonalds shit on the ground, how the fuck are we supposed to move forward? Yeah, that, or whatever it is that prevents me from having the Veronica Mars S1 DVDs in my hands RIGHT NOW!
5. If you could go back and witness one historical event, what would you choose?
Difficult! So much I would want to see is less a singular event and more something that runs over several (hundred) years, like the building of the pyramids. Perhaps Socrates's death? No! Gandhi's Salt March, when he shook the foundations of the British Empire with a single pinch of salt.
And on another personal note: I have officially managed to acquire myself a girlfriend; or perhaps I was myself acquired. I have already succeeded in showing her One True Way of Fairly Odd Parents, heh heh heh.
