thelibraniniquityBasic Rules:
1. If you want to be interviewed, leave a comment here.
2. I'll ask you five questions.
3. You'll post the answers on your own blog or lj, along with these rules. (or you post them in a comment. Whichever you prefer).
4. If anyone replies, asking you for five questions, you'll ask them.
1. If you could be anywhere in the world right at this very second where would you be?
As much as I'd like to say at home with my family, I have to say right where I am now. Running away's just not an option at the moment, nor is denial. (Maudlin, but true.)
2. If I turned up at your door today with Dr Who and the TARDIS asking you to come with me would you? and why?
Hell yes. Because a) As much as I would say I'd hate to know what happened outside my own timeline, I'd be too damn curious about both past and future, and also what's beyond our solar system, and b) It's a time machine. If I wanted out, I could be returned to my front door less than five minutes after I'd "left". The ultimate reset button, really.
3. If you were Empress of the world what would your top three laws be?
i) Punishment to fit the crime, no exceptions.
ii) Measures to control the population. It's not barbaric, it's a matter of balance and resources.
iii) No more socio-political labels (which are the foundations on which racism, sexism, ageism etc. are built and maintained). Therefore a promotion of equality and meritocracy.
4. If you wrote a bestselling novel, what would it be about?
Um, which one? There's the one I'm planning at the moment, which is my own funky take on feminism and the whole nature vs. nurture debate. I'd be more specific, except that's really about it at the moment :)
There are other ideas as well, except those are much more vague, just ideas floating around in the back of my head, really.
5. And the one I hated from all those careers lessons :P....where do you see yourself in ten years time?
Oh, bloody hell... Let's see... me at 30? I'd like to see myself holding down some sort of steady work, whether it's the more traditional "nine-to-five" or something else altogether. (And if I had to choose now, it would be the latter.) And I'd like to think I would be happy, either in a relationship, or just a network of the same close friends I have now.
Okay, the ultimate fantasy of a 30-year-old TLI? Yeah, okay, I'd be that bestselling novelist with no definable genre in a nice house by the sea, and if I was being really idealistic, I'd be sharing that house and view with someone.
