  I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less.

  
  

  Ask me anything you want. Really. I’ll answer anything. I may opt to e-mail answers to particularly sensitive questions, however.
  

  Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this, allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

  Anam asked:
  

  1) do you put as much effort into everything you do as you do into the research you present here on xanga?
  

  Everything I do? No, probably not. But anything I write, whether it is fiction or non-fiction, if research is required, I do it with a smile. Really I’ve loved researching things since I was in elementary school. I’ve been a library haunt since first grade. I can’t help but do research. It’s like a psychological compulsion.
  

  2) If you could disappear without consequence (as if you were spose to be at work etc) to any place once a month for a 3day holiday, money being no object, where would you go and why?

  
  

  I’m not sure… would it only be one place every month or a different place every month? If it’s the same place, I guess I’d go to Washington DC every month to visit the museums and haunt the Library of Congress. I’d say Rome, to the secret vaults of the Vatican, but I don’t speak Italian and I can’t read any dead languages. heh If it’s various places I could go once a month, I guess I’d go to all the great museums and libraries of the world.

  
  

  3) which of the dreams you have had do you wish were actually true and why?

  
  

  I don’t know that I would actually wish any of my dreams to be real. Technically they’re nightmares and as exciting as they are while I’m dreaming them, if they were real, I’d have an entirely different perspective, as in, dear gods! I could die! Eeek! lol

  
  

  But that said, there was one dream that I had when I was in my early teens that I would like to come to pass if there should come a point where the human race destroys itself. It may seem a bit morbid, but I actually found it to be very comforting when I had it because at the time I was very worried they (the government) was going to start WWIII and kill us all.

  
  

  So I had this dream that a group of highschool students had a group dream of the future which told them what was coming and what they should do. They found a scientist who they had dreamed of and who would invent a semi-sentient barrier which kept out all forms of radiation as well as pollution (and combustion technology). Actually it was kind of an overgrown amoeba which absorbed these things while keeping everyone inside safe and healthy, expanding the more it “ate.” So the people who had the dream gathered other people and pooled their resources to by an island. And even the animals of the world, those that could, started gathering at the island.

  
  

  The people of the island set the barrier up which freaked out the governments of the world who tried to stop some members who’d had last minute work outside the barrier from joining their compatriots inside. But everyone got inside safely just as the bombs started falling. And the dream ended hundreds of thousands of years in the future when the barrier had expanded so far out ito the solar system that it touched the sun and everything ended.

  
  

  Despite it’s theme, I find it comforting. I’m freaky that way.
