The Friday Five
Oct. 12th, 2024 05:37 pm1. If you could live in any city in the world, where would you live and why?
None of the above, thank you. Not for love or money. I barely even tolerate towns. If I had to pick a different region to live in, though, I think I'd like the Pacific Northwest--somewhere damp and green.
2. If you could speak any language fluently, what would it be?
There are so many I'd like, some of which I'm trying to learn. Something extinct that I could bring back would be nice. But much more mundanely: Japanese. I still love it, after all these years, and I still wish I could get a better grip on it.
3. When was the last time you rode a ferry and where did you go?
Hm, I think I might have been on a ferry in New York as a child. I vaguely remember that. I would have been about nine at the time.
4. What was the longest plane ride you've ever taken?
Presumably one of the three trips I've taken to the east coast from California. I only find flying bothersome in the airport--dealing with security, the terror of missing my flight, the crowds. Being on the plane, even for many hours, just doesn't cause me that much distress.
5. If you discovered a country, what would you name it?
I originally read this as "continent," which I find a very appealing option. A wandering continent, preferably. Growing up, I was heartily obsessed with the 1967 Doctor Dolittle film and the moving Sea Star Island.
It would depend on where it is and what it's like there. Probably something absurd that only I understand the significance of. When I name fictional places, I tend to insert allusions, but they aren't necessarily meant to be picked up on by others. (Is this a way of stalling while in the world building stages? I have no idea what you're talking about.)
