I don't like the Fourth. Going to see a fireworks display is one thing, but when your crazy redneck neighbors set explosives off all week (beginning at eight in the morning) and don't even create pretty lights with them - well, it's stupid. Also, my puppy has never been more petrified.
Part of the joy of being Norwegian and living in Scotland is that I don't have to celebrate the 4th of July, except as a token ironic gratulation to British people.
2. How have you been?
Good.
3. Would you ever move (permanently) to a place you had never seen or visited before?
Yes. Well, I never consider any place I live permanent. But yes. I had never been to Edinburgh before when I moved here.
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?
I don't officially end things because they have lapsed. I do when people start to annoy me. Well, officially in my head. But not when they just drift away.
5. Can exes ever really be friends?
I don't know. I don't have any. Exes, that is.
6. What is your favorite summer food?
Bruschetta.
7. Do you know how to drive a manual car? What country are you from?
No. I don't know how to drive any car. I'm from Norway.
8. What's the scariest driving experience you've ever had?
My father overtaking a caravan on passing over a hill?
9. What's the longest (most driving hours per day) road trip you've ever done?
Ummm. 14 hour bus trip, I think.
In Peru.
10. Do you have any books or pieces of literature you reread yearly (or according to some other sort of schedule)? What are they?
Well, I find I have started reading Pratchett's Night Watch every 25th of May. And I usually read Jane Eyre and The Scarlet Pimpernel and Watchmen and some others every year. But not because it is a set thing, only because I fall into reading them. I reread a lot.
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.
