Then there's this, nicked from

There's a huge chunk of you out there whose LJs I read every day--but in a lot of cases, I don't know how old a lot of you are, or where you live, or basic, normal things.

This is the problem with LJ--we all think we are so close, and while we know about the day-to-day, there's still a lot we don't know about each other. So let's 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. I promise, I will not make fun of you, or reveal any secrets; I won't divulge any sensitive personal info publicly if I can't feel like I can't trust you.

Ask away. Hell, if you're embarrassed to ask, you can do so anonymously; just know that I screen Anon. comments.

Hmm..I can't think of any good questions right now, so pick and choose from the following. Why'd you choose Geneva? How many languages do you know, and hmmmmm. What's your favorite time of the day? What do you like to read?

I didn't choose Geneva; my dad got a job in the Geneva area and I was still in high school at the time.

I am fluent in English, Franglish, Chinglish, and Spanglish. My Mandarin is sub-standard, and my French would be all right if I didn't mangle the accent so badly 60% of the time.

I love mid-afternoons to twilights for the sunshine, and late late nights for the partying.

I'm a big fan of fantastic work. Not as in "WOW! THIS IS FANTASTIC!" but more like somewhat larger-than-life.

jrenken introduced me to the works of Matt Ruff, and for that I am forever in his debt. I'm a big fan of Dave Barry (I used to read his column when we got the International Herald Tribune), and his two novels (Big Trouble and Tricky Business) were great. Then I picked up Neil Gaiman's American Gods on my last trip to the States, and now I thirst for more of his work.

On the whole, I don't do a lot of novel reading, though. I tend to visit websites, and enjoy a lot of the reading there--my older brother introduced me to

twoflower's work a long time back, and I've been hooked on his stuff since. You should try it.
