(Which I heartily endorse as a way of getting yourself posting if you haven't done in a while.)
1. What would you do if you won the lottery?
- I think I would pay off all my student loans, pay off the mortgage of the condo I am in the process of buying, put enough of it away in some kind of conservatively managed fund to generate income for me to live off comfortably for the rest of my life, and then give a big chunk of it away to Planned Parenthood and some abortion funds and some bike advocacy groups and other politically targeted nonpolitical causes.
2. What era do you wish you had lived in?
- Now. I would like to live now, just in a version with less horrible politically motivated awfulness.
3. What kind of robot would you want?
- Hard to imagine what I would do with one, but if it performed perfectly, housework.
4. What would you outsource if you could?
- Laundry and cooking and vacuuming. Oh, wait, I mostly have done that.
5. What superpower do you wish you had?
- Invulnerability and perhaps super strength. I have some really great fantasies about being hit by a car while riding my bike and simply ripping the wheels off the car instead of taking any injury. I imagine I'd be more a She-Hulk than a Supergirl if I had super powers - just an average person who happened to be surprisingly badass.
