My Friday Five for January 31, 2003

  1. As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why?
    It varied quite a bit, but usually either Green Arrow (love those funky trick arrows!), Green Lantern (oh, yeah... that ring can do just about anything), or Dr. Strange (nothing like calling up the Hoary Hordes of Hoggoth!). I suppose the common theme is that they all have abilities which are very flexible rather than going for raw power.

  2. What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got?
    Dunno. Nothing comes to mind. Superpowers?

  3. What's the furthest from home you've been?
    Eek! This is a repeat from March 7, 2002! My answer has not yet changed:
    5876 miles. I took a trip down to Buenos Aires in September, 1998 to see the country that tango came from (and, of course, to take a few lessons and do some dancing while I was in town).

  4. What's one thing you've always wanted to learn but haven't yet?
    Icelandic. Or operant magic, but I doubt I'll ever learn that one.

  5. What are your plans for the weekend?
    Work late Friday, go to a meeting of Runehof's council Saturday morning, do a scavenger hunt at MegaDale Saturday evening, then take Sunday off.
