scarlettina1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scarlettina's codicil: You may not ask me directly. Be creative about the comment you leave here.)
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.
tbclone47 asks:
1. Name three things you miss most about New York.
In this order:
a) My brother and my friends
b) Broadway
c) The variety and number of museums
2. If given equal opportunity at some point, would you prefer to write or edit?
There is no way for me to meaningfully answer this question because in the end, it always breaks even. Editing is my place of confidence and comfort, and I love working with writers, but I am often left frustrated because it leaves me no time or energy to write my own stuff. I'm always pleased and proud of having written something good and I love the descent into a creative fugue, but writing often makes me feel overwhelmed and inadequate (as I do right now with the current project, even though I'm doing everything right). So it becomes a choice of which joy or which scary-ass emotional challenge I want. Depends upon how I'm feeling on a given day.
3. What is your favorite restaurant in Seattle?
Hm. I admit that my experience of restaurants here isn't nearly as broad as it should be, given how long I've lived here, but I love-love-love Lombardi's in Ballard. That's where I threw my pre-Africa dinner; you were there. Coming up a close, by-a-nose second is Crow. Third up: B&O Espresso.
4. What is your greatest accomplishment?
Surviving and thriving without my parents. Even now, sometimes, I feel their absence keenly.
5. Did you have an overall good experience when you were in high school?
If we're talking strictly about the school experience, then in the broadest general sense, I'd say yes.
