1) Oregon or if outside the use, maybe France or Italy.
Chocolate, hands down.

10) Cleaning out the spare room.
11) Hmm, I’d want to be a writer again.

@Inez – Alaska does seem pretty amazing, especially when there’s light out 24/7
@Adelle – pretty sure I’d pick chocolate too. It’s just too good to pass up!
@Chris – puzzles are amazing! And it’s an amazing feeling when you finish a particularly difficult one
@Ella – hmm, the thought of a river never crossed my mind. That’s pretty cool!
@Jennifer – I’d feed everyone as well if I could. Make moves to help everyone be able to sustain themselves with all the human basic needs.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, ladies; I appreciate it!

Thanks, all, for visiting!

I already live in New Zealand and think this is the perfect place. I love visiting other places though, and I’d like to go to Africa tomorrow…
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm
1) On top of a mountain, far from the world.
Chocolate, please. TV here stinks…
2) favorite toys were always my Star Wars action figures. Bar none!
3) I most relate to my own creation: Davide Magnani. He’s just a little bit odd, but very sweet. His mistakes are usually made with the best intentions at heart, and he can never understand why others don’t see that.
4) I feel loved when my hubby does those little things to show me he cares: cleans the cat box before he leaves for work, cuddles up with me when it’s cold out and waits for me to fall asleep before leaving. That sort of thing.
5) Chances are I’d be dead in five minutes anyway, so there’s no real answer to this. LOL!
6) I’d create a living wage for people so they could afford to live *and* work. As opposed to working instead of having a life, so they can pay the bills. That, and provide health care for everyone.
7) I would like to learn (and NEED to learn) Italian. I’ve picked up quite a bit, but when I’m tired, I can’t form a single sentence. Pathetic…
9) I can’t pick just one!
10) Least looking forward to? Hmph… Cleaning that darn cat box…again…
11) A cat. So someone else could clean my box and then scratch me under the chin until I purr…
12) Books. Lots and lots of books.
13) Go to bed. It’s nearly Midnight, here, and I’ve got to do edits in the a.m.! Buonanotte!
October 22nd, 2009 at 5:01 pm
1. France
2. Gentle Ben, stuffed bear from the TV series.
5. Bug repellant
7. Norwegian (I’ve forgotten almost all of what little I once knew)
8. Chocolate…unless NCIS is on
11. A cat
12. Books. Or ink stamps.
13. Eat dinner.

7 I’m still having trouble with English, I’m a writer ya know?
8 Uh, Chocolate.
9 Jim Butcher
10 Laundry
11 Cats seem to have a pretty easy life.
12 Handmade crafts and books new and used.
13 Go have lunch I’m starved.
