The bastards cadged one of my ask-a-friend meme queries (#2 posed to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
netgoth yesterday!
[and, in an unrelated note, more of my vitriolic kvetching made it into Salon this morning.
1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
"Two chicks at the same time, man." - Lawrence [Deidrich Bader], from Office Space
I'd love to discover the fossilized remains of a new superpredator. My first professional ambition as a wee little sprout was to be a paleontologist.
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
Yep. I'm usually -more- honest with guys, but that's generally because a) we pay a hell of a lot less for haircuts, and can reasonably be expected to shave it off if it's truly heinous, b) I've had a lot of practice - those of you who've seen this guy can attest to the fact that he's got some bad fucking hair to begin with, and c) making fun of another guy's haircut probably won't result in the suspension of nookie.
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?
In retrospect, even the nastiest things I've found out about acquaintences have ultimately been for the better - if they're true friends, they'll be understood and forgiven, if they're not, well. . . let's just say that some people are better out of one's life.
4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
Bastages stole my question! heh.
On cynical, realistic days, I'd like to be one of the survivors in The Stand, or take up with Roland the Gunslinger in Mid-World. When I pull my head out of my ass and think, "Hey, I want a really cool life with neat gadgets," places like Atlantis/Shanghai from Diamond Age have a strong appeal.
5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?
Ambidexterity.
