vInterview Meme again

[mmailliw]

The rules of this meme are as follows:
Comment to this post, and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal.

I was interviewed by xlovebecomesher; my answers are below:

What pissed me off the most was not the $2 cost (I could easily afford paying 2 dollars to join) but the fact that in January of 2002, I was FOUR MONTHS too young to use a credit card and that was the only way they would let me pay online (and, at the time, my parents were still nearly paranoid of the *idea* of online interaction... even with me living a few hundred miles away at college it would still be a year and a half before I got them to view "people on the Internet" and "creepy serial killers" as essentially disjoint sets, so there was no way I could ask to use their credit card number for this) so I had to physically mail in the $2 check all the way across the country by snail mail and wait several weeks for it to FINALLY be received.

As for finance, probably wherever I would be able to excel (read: something that isn't so conformity-intensive that they care about the direction the stripes of your tie is pointing - and an environment where I would NOT have to spend 100 hours a week at the office regardless of what 'work' I actually had to do)... so most American I-banking is out, which is why so many of my plans involved moving to England, where the financial world better prizes what I have.

As for the interview, that comes in the next comment... though I've already asked you the forest/river and fire/ice/lightning questions :-P
