Friday Five, 3/21

This Friday Five is such a Twilight Zone episode waiting to happen...

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be?

Probably my grandfathers and their fathers. Both grandfathers died within a month of each other when I was 18 months old. The fragmentation of my family seems to stem from those two deaths. I'd like to get to know them, and what made my family what it is.

2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?

Wow. Maybe the 1800s. Late 1800s would have been interesting, I think. Smaller populations, more self-reliance. Totally different economy here in Ohio.

3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be?

Great Britain, Germany, Canada, New England or SF. I still havent been to the ancestral homelands, but think they might offer something worthwhile. Canada and New England offer familiarity either by climate or by family. And San Francisco since many of my friends are already there, it's sunny, and no Ohio-like winters from Hell.

4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be?

I've tried to think which fictional character I would like to be. I can't narrow it down since none of them are perfect. It would be cool to travel around in a TARDIS, so, The Doctor from Gallifrey might be a choice. Plus he lived >950 years. But fighting a universe full of people who hate your guts would suck. It would also be cool to be JeanLuc Picard and travel around as the commander of a starship. God I am such a geek. I'm shutting up now.

5. If you had to live with having someone else's face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be?

Um. No grandiose ideas here, but I think my cousins all are quite handsome, so if I looked a little more like them and less like me, I might be happier? Who knows.
