dchenesQuestions provided by Siercia :
1. What do plan to do with your graduate degree, once you've made it into and through school?
Take the American Translators Association accreditation exam, come back to Boston and (hopefully) get hired again. There are companies that specialize in translations. Otherwise, try to get freelance work from the French Library, or the Boston Language Institute.
2. Where would you have moved after college if you hadn't been friends with Liz and moved to Boston?
I'd probably still be in Boston, but I wouldn't know anybody.
3. What's your favorite thing to do in Boston?
That depends on the season. In the winter I like to go lose myself in bookstores on weekends. In more clement weather, I like to go walking around and figure out how various places connect up to places I know already.
4. Who would you most like to be stranded on a desert island with?
Ooh, tough one. If we're talking about somebody I could actually talk to, my Japanese History professor from college. If we're talking about "stranded on a desert island with a hot guy", I don't know.
5. What's one thing you've done that you wish you could take back?
In high school, somebody I was interested in dating asked me to go out with him. Every time before that, when somebody had asked me out, they had been kidding, so I didn't trust anybody. I wish I had said yes.
Anybody want to be interviewed? Leave me a comment

Date: 2003-06-04 10:06 am (UTC)I'd never realized it smelled like perfume. Can you describe it?
2. Milk, dark or white chocolate?
Usually Milk chocolate. It varies with my mood.
3. How many fish are in your fish tank?
At least 20, probably closer to 25.
4. If you could choose a superpower, what would you want to be able to do?
Indestructibility or teleportation. I'd always wondered what it would be like to be the indestructible soldier on the battlefield, or the rescue worker who didn't have to worry about running out of air or being crushed by rocks.
Besides, it's the only way I'll ever try skydiving.
5. What gadget can't you live without?
In a general, trapped on a desert island survivalist sense, a can opener. Better yet, my Swiss Army knife with the locking blade. While not EXACTLY what I would like in any given situation, it generally provides a close enough approximation to get the job done. If only I had one with a phillips screwdriver AND a corkscrew, then I'd be set.
I can live without a computer, so long as I have a typewriter or at the very least pen and paper. I wouldn't like it, but I could do it.
For day to day use, I'd have to say the mag-lite I carry in my pocket. I never seem to run out of situations where it's handy. I think it gets more use than my pocket knife.
