Five-question meme! Again!
Jan. 25th, 2008 08:48 pm1. What things, if any, do you really wish you could do but find you can't do because of where you're living now?
Get out of debt. The cost of living in NYC is ridiculous.
2. I'm visiting New Orleans in May, what advice do you have for me?
Bring lots of money to spend at great restaurants. The low low cost of drinks should help you find the cash for great food. Sadly, I don't remember any names of restaurants - maybe![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rhiannonjk will shout out with some suggestions.
3. If you had a 6 month break from reality where you could do anything you wanted and take along anyone you wanted and everyone would come back to the lives as they were before the break, what would you do and who would you take with you?
Hoo.... wow, there are so many great scenarios here. "Anything you wanted" is so broad!
Time travel! I'd grabfunkyplaid & hermiston & we'd spend six months whizzing through history, visiting everyone from the velociraptors on forward, spending plenty of time in 18th century Scotland & boozing it up in every century of human culture.
Outer space!vulgarbarbarian, chaosvizier, & I would go live on the international space station, work on the AQUA & Aura projects to study the earth's atmosphere, & help install the components of the space station as they arrived. We would drink vodka with the cosmonauts & try not to throw up in outer space.
Save the world!effrontery, marasca, & I would find some fantastic volunteer opportunity where we'd have a real chance to make a difference in the life of the planet as well as the lives of real people. We'd drink mojitos at the end of every day & toast ourselves & our good work.
Hedonism!hotpantsgalore & I would run off to some fantastic resort (lesbians only of course) where I would spend all day SCUBA diving & she would direct fantastic plays, & all night would be spent... well, y'know, being real hedonistic. Also: free booze.
Fantasy!seolta & I would visit all of the worlds of all of the books we've ever read or wanted to read, getting to see the countries & meet the characters, as well as eating the food & of course, drinking the beverages.
4. How are you?
At the moment, I'm actually in quite a lot of pain. I had to visit the chiropractor this afternoon - my right shoulder is engaging in some nasty guerrilla warfare against the rest of my body & has caused great unrest in the neighboring provinces of Back, Neck, & Right Arm. More Advil plzthx.
5. What are the biggest differences between live in SF and life in NY?
Well, the weather is an obvious one - it's fucking freezing here right now. My living situation is quite different as well - living with a girlfriend is WAY different from living with my two crazy guys. I miss Torgi & the fireplace, not to mention the gardens & OMG the dishwasher. But I think there is more opportunity here - obviously forhotpantsgalore but also for me. I like having my Hive friends close at hand. NYC is also just a MUCH bigger city than SF - SF feels like a cozy little village in comparison. I mean - I've never lived anywhere like NYC.
