1. Where do you see yourself this time next year/what would you like to accomplish?
If all goes according to plan, next year, I'll be halfway through getting my Masters of Library Science at URI, and hopefully have found a paying intership at one of the many papers in Boston to gain the experience I'll need to get a job. Maybe looking around at a wider geographical range for places to job hunt and move to. Boston's beginning to lose its charm for me.
2. What is your favorite peice of jewelry?
I think my tongue stud wins here... mostly because it's fun to fidget with (and I'm an incurable fidget), and because people don't expect me t have one, and it surprises them. A close second would be my wedding set, because it's fairly unique and very *me*
3. If you could save the Mona Lisa or the Magna Charta in a fire, which would you and why?
Mona Lisa. I chose that because what's important about the Magna Charta is the words of it, and the ideas that they express. Even if the original burned, we have its words reproduced elsewhere, and the ideas that it embodies are already embedded in our culture, whereas with the Mona Lisa, the opposite is true - that seeing the original is what matters, and reproductions don't do it justice (or so I've heard). I certainly think the Magna Charta is more important, but the loss of the original would be less of a loss.
4. What social ill would you like to see be ended?
Poverty (does that count?). So much of the rest of the ills (hunger, homelessness, some of the racism, etc) stems from people simply not having enough to live on. If everyone had enough mone to meet their basic needs, I think we'd all be better off.
5. Which monster is the most terrifying and why?
The voice inside your own head that whispers that you're not good/smart/pretty/whatever enough. It's certainly the only one that has ever affected me.
