Easter, because I'm in-between. Nate Send a noteboard - 05/07/2010 05:57:46 AM
I'm too old to derive any joy from the Easter egg hunt aspect, too old to devour scads of chocolate, no kids of my own to play Easter Bunny with, and no religious connections for that side of the holiday. No big deal though.

2. How have you been?


Didn't you just ask me this question? Sheesh.

3. Would you ever move (permanently) to a place you had never seen or visited before?


If I had a good reason to, yeah. Visiting first would be nice though.

4. How do you feel about lapsed friendships - something that can always be revived, or a sign that loyalty is missing? If the latter, how long before you call it quits on the relationship?


If the friendship was real in the first place, it can always be revived and withstand periods of inactivity. In theory. But sometimes they just fade away for whatever reason.

5. Can exes ever really be friends?


I'd like to believe so, in certain cases. I think it depend on how good of friends they were before, and how good of friends they were during the relationship. I'm no expert though, I only have my own experiences to go on, and those tell me that it can be tough sometimes, but if the two people care about each other above and beyond romance and physical needs, it's possible.

6. What is your favorite summer food?


Cherries.

7. Do you know how to drive a manual car? What country are you from?


I do not. My dad tried to teach me once, and I learned for the duration of that lesson, but then the skill slipped away through disuse and I'd hate to ever have to try.

8. What's the scariest driving experience you've ever had?


... where do I start? I was clipped while making a left turn in college. An elk nearly ran head on into my car on the highway after dark one night. I rear-ended someone on extremely slippery roads and my car was written off another time. I drove four hours through extreme snow conditions, limited visibility, and (for one of those hours) unplowed roads to get home one time. Just the other week my vehicle came excitingly close to being struck by the subject of a high speed police chase as he roared down the middle of the highway. Those were all kind of scary.

9. What's the longest (most driving hours per day) road trip you've ever done?


I drove twelve hours in one shot, twice within a ten-day period.

10. Do you have any books or pieces of literature you reread yearly (or according to some other sort of schedule)? What are they?


Sadly no. I do have quite a few books I'd like to reread though.

Other news with me - am planning to set out for my new home in WA, bright and early Tuesday morning. It will be a long drive, and I don't entirely know where I'll end up. I hope it will be nice.


Good luck with the move! ... if you get in trouble in northern Montana or Idaho, I'm probably close enough to help!
