Working titele: Finding Home

You Should Get a JD (Juris Doctor)

You're logical, driven, and ruthless. You'd make a mighty fine lawyer.

I don't think I'm either ruthless nor driven, but still, an appropriate result.

Your Animal is the Swan

You are a calm, gentle, and serene person. You are happiest when you can relax and enjoy the world. You are beautiful, both inside and out. You find it easy to love and are easy to love. You are stable and strong. You can bring security to your family and friends. You have deep emotions, and you are a lot more sensitive than you let on.

I don't feel like a swan - but I like the description :o)

I am: Ursula K. LeGuin Perhaps the most admired writing talent in the science fiction field.

Which science fiction writer are you?

Yay!

esmeraldus_neo and khitomer got awesome results on this meme, so I was all excited.

1. Unjust laws - obey, subvert, or disobey?

Hard question. I want to say follow your conscience, but at heart I'm a rule follower. I very rarely break rules, and it makes me uncomfortable, even if I know it's more of a guideline, and if I'd be better off if I didn't follow it, or at least not so strictly. I'm a by.the.book kind of gal.

If you think a law is unjust, you should work to get it changed. It is a very important aspect of society that people follow the common rules - it gives reliability to the system, and makes it possible for people to trust in society. If people don't follow the rules, society becomes impossible. So I believe that rules should be followed as far as possible - but not in absurdum. Bending is usually better than breaking, but not always, as I believe it can actually cause more damage to the integrity of the law.

I respect the right to excersice civil disobedience, as long as a basic respect for the system of law is maintained, even if a particular law is broken for political or iseological reasons.

2. You've spent time in all "caucasian" anglophone countries - favourite?

I've been to the UK (everywhere except Northern Ireland), Ireland (the republic of), Canada, The US, Australia and New Zeeland. So yes, I guess that covers them. It's really hard to pick a favourite, since I've been for such different amounts of time, and such different purposes in the various places. The places I'd most like to go back to, are Australia and New Zeeland - I loved it there, especially in New Zeeland. But I only saw one tiny part of Australia, and it's enormous, so I'd like to see some more of it.

After those, I'd say Ireland. It was one of the most beautiful and charming places I've lived, and I enjoyed it thuroughly.

3. City, town, or countryside?

Town, or smallish city. Anything bigger than about 500 000 people is getting too big for me, at that scale it just becomes inconvenient. Distances are too large, you can't get around on foot, people are too stressed, and things become too expensive. Too small is often problematic because I tend to be a bit subcultural in my interests and tastes, and things like that are often hard to find in smaller places. But I grew up in a town with 35 000 people, and I have no problem living in a place that size again.

4. Will you get a gray cat?

You never know :o) At this point I'm avoiding pets because I don't want the responsibilty. But later in life, who knows. I tend to try and adopt the neighbours cats, so I'm guessing it's a growing need that will eventally have to be adressed :o)

5. Do your friends live in the computer?

No. My friends live in the real world, though many of them I mostly interact with through a computer. These days it feels like I live half my life through a computer, but happily, that will end in about 2 1/2 months. Then I may need to take an internet time out for a while :o)

I vastly prefer real world interaction to computer interaction - but computer friendships are often easier to manage, because there's a certain amount of distance that decreases the emotional involvement. It's easier to approach someone in text, because you feel less embarrassed, but it never feels quite as real.

Pick one word from each pair that you think describes me the best and comment with your choices. Then copy this and post it in your own journal to see how your friends view you.

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

* I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
* What I create will be just for you.
* It'll be done this year. - But you may have to wait a while...
* You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! I may or may not ask your opinion on sizes, colors, allergies, etc. I have no desire for a gift from you in return.
* I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. (I feel compelled to add that if you know me, you should pay special attention to this clause right here. My sense of humor runs the gamut from sweet to depraved, and it's erratic.)


Respondents must re-post this on their own journals. (So says the rules, but it's OK with me if you don't).

edit: In the interest of providing minimum spoilers, please provide allergy info, favourite colour etc upfront. I do not guarantee edible gifts, but if I do decide to get you one, the surprise won't have been spoiled. You don't have to give me clothing size - it is highly unlikely that I'll get you clothes.

1. Bold the ones that are true.
2. Italicize the ones that are sort of true.
3. Strike out the ones that are seriously not true.
