I stole this from Bekah, who stole it from someone else:
"This is the problem with [blogs], we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. I'm going to rectify it. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your [blog] and find out what people don't know about you."
It's been a long while since I played Truth or Dare. I'm hitting a funny point right now where I'm having trouble remember things; not so good, when my summer is all about memorization. Maybe this'll help me remember. Ask whatever you want.

Does this mean we can dare you to do something?

Hhm. I suppose. But only if you can ask me a question that I won't answer...

let's see
a) ask you something you wont answer so then I can use a Dare. or
b) ask something I'm genuinely interested in knowing.....
Why the career path you chose? what motivated you to study that?

Wonder if you could find a question I wouldn't answer...
Anyway, to the question you did ask.
I figure I've got two career paths. One of them is writing and the other is this international exchange thingie. Both of them make me exceedingly happy.
For the writing, I never studied it, at least not academically; I mean, I never took a class in it. What keeps me doing it is I like telling stories; I pretty much can't not tell stories, and I like sharing them with people. Seeing as professional writing is the best way I've found to share, it seems the route to go. Plus seeing my name on the cover of a book would be a nice ego boost. ^_-
The international thing I came to by accident. I didn't study it in school (I studied Anthropology, History and Religion in school, and I did that mostly because they seemed interesting). I got a job in international exchange through a friend (The Delightful Jeni Garber) because I'd been unemployed for 8 months and wasn't able to find other work and I wanted to get up off my ass and earn some money and move out of my folks house. As it turned out, I liked not on the job, but I liked the work. I felt like I was doing something to make the world a better place, and I sort of want to get back to it.
That good enough? If you want more details, ask away.

Steeve - Victoria. If Bekham's still with her, she's got to be worth sleeping with...
Zach - another country heard from. Where the hell have you been keeping yourself?
1. Briefs
2. Curses! A question I won't answer!
3. Nole - It's an odd name, but it's not like I'm embarassed about it.
4. Well, you'd have to start with rewriting the basic tenets of the religion...
5. You'd have to pay for the waxing and the video tape and such yourself. Beyond that? I figure the momentary pain is worth about $300.
6. I think it's pretty well established by now that I wasn't. Also, I thought we'd agreed to never speak of that again.

YEAH! does that mean I get a dare?
Posted by Zach | July 17, 2005 9:36 PM

Hhrm... I'm not sure I should give you the dare, Zach, given that you asked the one question I've always been on record as unwilling to answer.
But, yeah, sure, what the hell.

If you could meet anyone from any time period, who would it be?

What's so wormy about that?
Hhm... lessee... There are tons of events I'd love to have been witness too, but in terms of meeting individual people, presumably for conversation, I think I'd have to go for Mark Twain, with Ambrose Bierce being a really, really close second.
I mean, there are historical folks that I like much more, but what would I have to say to Alexander the Great? "Hey, you conquered the known world by the age of 33. Awesome!" Or maybe Julius Caesar? "Dude, you forged the foundations of one of the greatest empires the world's ever seen out of chaos. Kickass!" Hell, even I don't think I'd even have all that much to say to Ghandi. "So, you led a non-violent protest that brought self-rule to India and has served as a model for others for a century after that. Rock on!"
But Twain and Bierce? Damn, those men were wits. They were conversationalists. Sit me down with either of those guys and I'll be entertained.
