The Friday Five
1. Where did you grow up and do you miss it?
Military brat, so I lived in many places. The longest was in Germany (two stretches, totaling 7 years if you consider that I was away at university for three and went back for holidays). I also spent four years in France, which was immediately before the first stint in Germany so I count it as almost the same place. I do miss them. Technically, I spent four years in a very rural part of Ontario, but - like all the other places in southwestern Ontario where I lived, I loathed it.
2. Which are your three favorite words in the dictionary and why?
Cogitate, spelunk, gundiguts. I just like the way they sound. Also they are less often used words for fairly common things.
3. What is a vegetarian dish that you really like?
There is and Indian curry and potato pocket (done in puff pastry, not fried like a samosa) that is really good. Also vegetarian pizza with olives and feta.
4. What do you do when you have a misunderstanding with your friend?
No idea. It has been a long time since I had one. I I have had the occasional falling out that was more serious than a misunderstanding. I walk away from those.
5 What do you daydream about?
Sewing, holidays, doing all sorts of things besides what I should be doing at the time of the daydream (usually happens at work or when I'm trying to get to sleep).
