Wow. Coming up with that many questions was hard, and there were a few repeats, even though I didn't really want there to be.

arysteia had some questions for me, in return:

1) What is the single best thing about being a New Yorker?The availability of nearly anything you can think of, at nearly any hour, is never very far away. That sense that you can ( Read more... )

to do lists, memes: fannish

5) Tell me something about New Zealand, and it can't be Lord of the Rings.

Hee! Sheep! Rugby!

Mwahaha. As a NZer, this is so true - many places I've been to, in both Europe and the US, those are the 3 things for which the country is known.

In Italy, where I currently live, it's LOTR first and rugby second. I was a voice extra in TTT: me and about 20,000 other people = the Uruk-hai army gathered at Isengard just before leaving for Helm's Deep. It's fun trying to explain *that* in Italian! I'd rank it up there with trying to explain the rules of cricket, in Italian, to an Italian who knew nothing about the game...

Oh, cool.

I almost said cricket, too, but then I wasn't sure. Cricket is one of those inexplicable things that I don't think anyone who didn't grow up with it can possibly understand. I know I certainly don't understand it. *g*

Yes! That's exactly it. I went into it thinking it was going to be the OTP of Delayed Gratification and Growing Old in the Cotswolds Together, and it turned into the OTP of Endless Tragedy by Drapery.

I don't think I've ever been more creative than when I've brought Sirius back.

I find myself wondering if we'll get any mention of Sirius in Deathly Hallows.

I think we must. I think if RAB is Regulus, we'll have some mention of Sirius. We better.

Bwahaha. Rugby. Sheep. *sigh ( ... )

Sorry? *g*

There are ... wickets, and bowlers, and they stop for tea! It is very strange!

and the place where the hobbits hid under a tree from the black riders was behind my house. Literally. Like twenty feet away. I got told off by security when walking home from class the night they filmed it...

oh, cool.

I followed your advice and sought out pizza shops, and dear god it was a different beast to "pizza" here.

And almost anywhere else, even in this country.

But it was kind of like Wellington if we grew up, if you know what I mean. We would be NY in another fifty years. Except that there's not enough room for that kind of growth, either, so it'll never happen. Definitely more like Wgtn than anywhere else I saw in my eight states though.

Well, a smaller (cleaner?) version of NYC is nothing to sneeze at. It's the sense that almost anything is possible that really makes it.
