Leave me a comment saying:
"Reel around the fountain, Slap me on the patio ".
I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
1. What is the most rewarding experience you have had and what made it so?
Moon-in-June romantic though it may seem, my relationship with my husband really does trump everything else. We began as a foursome of friends (his ex-wife was a good friend of mine). We were even involved in each others' first weddings. When those marriages failed, we turned to each other and soon became best friends. We also fell in love and kept our feelings secret. Nearly three complicated years later (now 11 years ago), we professed our feelings and have been a couple ever since. What makes this relationship so very rewarding is the truly amazing amount of closeness and understanding that we share. We are still best friends, which just may be the greatest aspect of a relationship that includes so many other partnerships.
2. If you could invite to dinner three Historical characters who would they be and why?
Jesus because, as a non-Christian particularly, I really want to know the truth about his life, his philosophy, and what he thinks of his followers.
Oscar Wilde because I have loved him and his work since I first saw "The Importance of Being Earnest" when I was seven years old. Also,he would certainly keep us all entertained.
Christine de Pizan because she just may be the first feminist, or, at the very least, the first one to have her views published. Talking to her about the role of women in the middle ages and the changes that have occurred since then would be really interesting, I'm sure
3. Where would you dream vacation be and what would it consist of?
I want to travel all over the world. I want to see as many of UNESCO's World Heritage sites as possible in my life. From New Zealand's majestic landscape to the northern lights of Scandinavia, from Karnak in Egypt to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, I want to experience it all.
That said, I do believe that certain sites may remain dreams for socio-political reasons. I have wanted to travel to the ancient sites of Mesopotamia for many years, particularly the ruins of the city state of Mari (now in Syria right by the Iraqi border). I suspect that the only sites that I will safely be able to visit in the foreseeable future will be Catal Huyuk in Turkey and Petra in Jordan.
4. If you could change one aspect of your life, what would it be?
This is the easiest question for me. I would improve my health. I live with chronic pain and related disability and it is, without doubt, my greatest challenge in this life.
5. If you could travel back to a certain time in Human History, where would you go?
I would travel to the Neolithic Age. I am absolutely fascinated by the people who created the Hypogeum in Malta, Carrowkeel in Ireland, or Stonehenge and all the other remarkable sites that I have visited or hope to visit. I would love to know more about them and their culture.
