1. What is your favorite childhood memory?

Hard to say. There are many good ones. Time with my parents and the cats at home is definitely up there, but picking one is not easy.

2. If you could be reincarnated as anything besides human, who would you want to be?

A cat. Preferably a pampered housecat, but even as a feral, I think it would be interesting.

3. If you had to start your life all over, what are three things you would change?

I would write down more things in the moment to help jog my memory later (which I nevertheless still don't do often enough). I would spend more time just talking to my parents. And I'd try to be more courageous about changing jobs more often, rather than staying as long as I did. That has worked well for me but meant I've gotten to do fewer different things than if I'd moved on more often.

4. If you had to forget everything in your life, except one thing, what would it be?

There's no good answer to this. I mean, if I remember my self but nothing else, does that drag along all the how-I-became this way? I think the best answer would be "my family" just because it's pretty broad and I wouldn't want to forget them, but then that implies forgetting non-family friends which just no....

5. Do you have a lucky charm?

Nope. Sometimes we have them for a bit when the boys beg and I'm feeling like a sucker, but otherwise, nope. (No, I don't have one the way the question means it, but how could I pass up a chance to make it about the cereal anyway?)

1. depends on your def. of a child; some of'em are after I was more or less functioning as an adult - own bank account, filing my own taxes, etc. The most memorable one - kind of a long one, in a nutshell, my father and I escaping a _really nasty_ line of thunderstorms by dint of my grandfather living _just_ far enough south for us to turn around, get on the ground, and get the door open on his car before the first drops hit... the words "EVIL FLASHING MAGENTA" feature prominently... but I was at least 16 by then.. .

wait. Yeah I do. Not gonna put that one on a public post but it involves the ship in my icon... :)

2. Almost definitely a cat. Or perhaps a berkut... the Mongolian golden eagle, one of the bigger raptors out there... they can hit a sheep hard enough to _take it down_.

3. I dunno. _most_ of the things that were in the way of me becoming my best self are things I had little control over.

4. yeah, four is a big nope.

5. I always liked Lucky Charms...

But seriously. Triskadekaphilia. There's even a _song_ kinda about that. o/~ Thirteeee-eeee-eeen.. o/~
