survey says
Because my head is full of fluff, and I can't concentrate enough to write a real entry instead.
1) If you could be instantly fluent in one other language that you currently do not read or speak, which would it be?
Tricky. Greek, perhaps.
2) If you could have the starring role in any film already made, what would it be?
I think I'd like to be James Bond.
3) If you could receive one small package this very moment, who would it be from and what would be in it?
A box from President Havel, with the keys to a beautiful apartment in Prague, a plane ticket and a job offer.
4) If you could own one painting from any collection in the world but were not able to sell it, which work of art would you select?
Hard, hard, hard. Madame X, by Sargent, currently in the Met, simply because it is beautiful and reminds me of a world that does not exist.
5) If you were instantly able to play one musical instrument perfectly that you never have played before, what would it be?
Hand me that violin, please...
6) If you could possess one supernatural ability, what would it be?
I've always wanted to be able to become invisible. Mostly so I could poke around in places I wasn't allowed when I was younger.
7) If you had to choose the most valuable thing you ever learned what would it be?
That you have to know who you are, above all else.
8) If you could have only one piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?
A wide, wide bed with pillows.
9) If you could read the private diary of someone you know personally, whose diary would it be?
But would I be able to read the handwriting, that's the question.
10) If you could have one person you know as your slave well-paid and cared for domestic laborer for one month, who would it be?
What a weird question. Now, if I could have a pool boy, or girl... I think I'd pick Megan. She could lounge around, talk Shakespeare and post modernism and feed me grapes.
11) If you could choose the way you will die, how would you want it to happen?
Oh good gods, another insane question. If I had to choose, this would never happen.
12) If you could wake up tomorrow to learn that the major newspaper headlines were about you, what would you want them to say?
"All Powerful Tsarina Takes Up Residence In Winter Palace; New Decree Turns Middle East Into Glass So No One Can Have It; Shuttles Carrying The Stupid Prepare For Launch Into The Sun"
13) If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
Have a giant steak and sushi dinner with my best friends
14) If you could choose the music at your funeral, what would it be, and who would play it?
Um, another creepy question. I really dislike thinking about this.
15) If you could take away the vocal cords of any person, who would it be?
Probably Three Piece Suit Boy. He wouldn't annoy me nearly so much if he didn't speak.
16) If you had to describe your idea of the perfect mate, how would you do it?
Someone with many of the qualities I find in my friends.
17) If you had to have a personal friend redecorate your house, who would you pick to do it?
I think I would want Cate to do my house. But I would help her paint.
18) If you had to choose the worst home you've ever lived in, which one was it?
Worst for living situation, I would say my last apartment. I can't remember the tiny house we lived in when I was a baby, but my parents tell me it was in a terrible neighborhood.
19) If you could have prevented one thing from happening between you and a friend, what would it have been?
I wish I hadn't lied to him.
20) If you could learn the total number of hours you have spent in your life doing one thing, what would it be?
Writing stories that I never finish, ever.
21) If you had to describe yourself as a child in one word, what would it be?
Serious
22) If you could own a single prop from any film ever made what would you choose?
That battered hat Indian Jones wore.

Hell, I can do that - and you wouldn't need to pay me!
