I sent this privately a while ago but since everyone seems to be sharing the list, I'm reposting it here. >1. Age: b)20-30 >2. Male or Female? Female >3. Coupled up or Single? Coupled up >4. Republican, Democrat, In Between? I don't believe in the existence of political parties. Though I do have on order a t-shirt that says "Republicans suck". >5. Children? I was once, yes. ;) No kids, but two cats. >6. Favorite Music Genre? ecto (i.e. pretty much anything with female vocals, though absolutely no Latin music or rap, please) >7. Do you prefer reading fiction, or non fiction? (Feel free to list any >titles/authors that interest you.) Fiction, particularly SF/Fantasy (Melissa Scott, Dan Simmons, Neil Gaiman, CJ Cherryh, Charles deLint, Maureen F. McHugh, Neal Stephenson .......) >8. If you have a choice, will you email someone, or call them? E-mail, definitely. >9. What magazine are you most likely to page through while sitting in the >waiting room at your dentist's office? >A. Cosmo >B. National Geographic >C. Newsweek >D. People >E. Hunting and Fishing >F. You are mortally afraid of the dentist and can't sit still long enough to >read any stupid magazine. G. The New Yorker. ;) >10. If you could be a part of any decade from the past, which would you >choose? (Or if you were a part of a past decade, would you go back to >any particular one?) I would want to live in the late 1100's, but only if I had my own castle. >11. Sunscreen or tanning lotion? (Pale skin, lightly toasted or burnt?) Sunscreen. I end up lightly toasted no matter what I do anyway. >12. Any hobbies? Attending live concerts, putting together live concerts, hanging about on the net, collecting memorabilia having to do with Xena: Warrior Princess (oh, be quiet out there in the peanut gallery...) >13. Name one thing, (anything you want), that absolutely fascinates >you. The ability to write songs. I'm not much of a musician to begin with, but I never could even begin to come up with a tune or a lyric on my own. It's hard enough for me to come up with fictional prose - I gave up trying years ago! >14. Best/Worst Movies you've ever seen? Best = BRAZIL Worst = either SAFE or THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY >15. What makes a performance "stellar" in your opinion? Is it musicianship? >Comedy? Political Statements? Choreography? Performer's >awareness/inclusiveness of the audience? All of the above. If I'm mesmerized by watching the performer play, and if I'm moved to the whole range of emotions in the span of a few moments and can absolutely forget about life while the performer is on stage, then it's a stellar performance. (And yes, Susan delivers these pretty much every time. :) >16. What is your shoe size? 8 1/2 >17. College graduate? Yes (B.A. in German & Medieval Studies, Wesleyan U.) >18. Do you work for yourself, or for someone else? For someone else, but I wish I could work for myself... >19. Greatest fear for the future? What gets you worried? (i.e.: social >security, medical insurance, gun violence, violence in general, you're >running out of peanut butter and don't have time to stop at the grocery >store this week...) I am terrified of death. Somehow I have this feeling all those stories I heard about an afterlife are nothing more than mythology. >20. Vegetarian or Meat Eating? Carnivore. I don't like enough vegetables to be able to survive on them. >21. Religious denomination? Recovering Catholic >22. How many hours per week, on average, do you spend online/watching >t.v.? Too many. :} My online time and my tv watching time are one and the same since I sit with my laptop on the couch. I'd say 15-20 hours/week (scary!!!). >23. Is there life after death? Guess I already answered that above ... :) I'm afraid not. >24. If you could vacation to any spot on the globe, where would you go >and why? New Zealand. I've heard it's a wonderful place to visit, that the people are great, and besides: _Xena_ is filmed there, so I'd love to check out the gorgeous locations that are its backdrop. (Though for the record, NZ was a dream destination LONG before I ever saw the show.) >25. Sizzle or steak? =) Susan and Jane tried to answer this for themselves a few weeks back. They weren't sure, and I'm not, either. I think I'm more the sizzle, but only when contrasted with my "steak" counterpart. +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2000 23:23:12 -0400 (EDT) From: Leslie Dreyer Kalra Subject: survey - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >1.

(i.e.: social >security, medical insurance, gun violence, violence in general, you're >running out of peanut butter and don't have time to stop at the grocery >store this week...) Growing indifference to others in society. Insularity. Isolation by choice. Suburban sprawl. I feel sick to my stomach whenever I see a cornfield turn into more mansions and hear how hard people have to work to support said mansions. Priorities are thoroughly screwed up. My biggest fear is that something will happen to my children, especially if it's in my power to stop it. That peanut butter thing, though.... no, better not to think about that... >20. Vegetarian or Meat Eating? Vegetarian at home, carnivore in restaurants. (I'm the only meat-eater in my family, so I get it out of my system when I eat out) >21. Religious denomination? Grew up United Methodist, lately Quaker >22. How many hours per week, on average, do you spend online/watching >t.v.? My business is computer and Internet consulting, so my online time is all work -- I don't find the Internet fun, except for Dilbert. That works out to about 20 hours a week. TV: maybe 3, if you don't count movies. Used to be 3.5 until they cancelled SportsNight (*sniff*)... >23. Is there life after death? I hope so, but I'm pretty happy with my life before death, so I don't worry about it overmuch. >24. If you could vacation to any spot on the globe, where would you go >and why? I'm not much for traveling, but a nice quiet beach would be wonderful. I'd rather live in interesting places, not do the tourist thing. >25. Sizzle or steak? =) Sizzle wannabe, but more often steak. leslie HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ End of believers-digest V4 #109 ******************************* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- This has been a posting from the Susan Werner believers-digest To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers-digest" in the body of the message
