likethebeerIt's very strange having Friday be my Friday. You can get so much done when 1 of your days off is a weekday. But since I'm not really giving tours, there's no real motivation for me to work one of the weekend days.
Anyway, I got this off of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fridayfiver after reading a list in sargiegirl76.
1.Do you have a driver's license? How old were you?
Yes. I was 16.
2. Who taught you how to drive? I drove once I think in the car w/my mom. Maybe twice. My dad set up trash cans in the road along the curb and gave me a 1/2 hour lesson on parallel parking, and my 2 sisters (18 & 19 yrs old at the time) would occasionally take me out driving, including on our local, windy, country PA roads. It wasn't until I was much older that I realized what a fucked up drivers education I had [my class, btw, was strictly in the classroom watching road rage movies and orf course the blood on the highway movies.] I think I got into about 5 accidents (fender benders) between the ages of 16 and 19. At least, that my parents know of.
3. Cars: first, current and pie-in-the-sky future? The first 1 I owned was a Buick Skylark. The 1st one I drove to school was a late 70s Chevy Impala (built like a tank, just like dad liked 'em). Current car: 1994 Nissan Sentra xe that prolly needs its muffler checked. Pie-in-the-sky future? BMW, that will hopefully drive in the snow. Then again, if I'm fantasizing about having a BMW, I can certainly fantasize that it would stay in storage every winter.
4. Napster/Kazaa/Filesharing: A crime or the Best Thing Ever? I've never used any filesharing program. The free & open exchange of ideas is good; but it will also lead to viruses and computer hijackings. That's fine, as long as you don't bug me w/your problems.
5. You've just inherited $35 million dollars. Show me how you'd spend it.
$1 million each to my mom/dad/& 2 sisters. $100,000 to my aunts/uncle/cousins. That's about $6 million. $5 million in the bank. Pay off the mortgage, buy the house owned by the people who own mda's cabin (in some self-deluded idea that it will finally make me triumph over that little shack or something, but hey this is all just make-believe anyway, so yeah, sure, that'll work).
SEt up a non-profit endowment and put $20 million in there to give to/control the resources to, Taliesin, w/ some v. strict guidelines on where this money is going, b/c otherwise the Fellowship will descend like the vultures they are and gobble up that money as only they can. So, I'd put WI-C in charge of the funds.
Then spread the remaining among the Human Rights Campaign, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, whatever else strikes my fancy.
