Survey from Eponine’s diary.
Some stupid questions, some thought provoking questions.
1. If you died tomorrow who would you leave everything you own to?:
The Prof, my sisters, the zoo. There would be a special stipend set aside for care of the cats.
2.If you had to go live in Borneo for the rest of your life and you could take one person on this earth, who would it be?:
I know I should say The Prof. He’s my first choice by reflex. Upon consideration though, I can’t see him possibly enjoying Borneo. In fact, I can’t think of any close friends or family that wouldn’t be miserable in Borneo. I’d want to take someone with me who wouldn’t be miserable for the rest of their lives there. I’d probably hunt around for someone who wanted to do biodiversity studies there, maybe with the orangatan population, which is increcibly endangered there.
3.Who is the one person that you could stand spending a straight 24 hours with and not get the slightest bit annoyed with?:
A friend from vet school. The one who got me Kitten from Hell. If I could just keep KfH out of my head for the 24 hours, she and I would get along fine!
4.If you woke up one morning and noticed that your leg was missing who would be the first person you would call?:
The Professor. I’d need somebody to take me to the hospital, and since I drive a stick shift I wouldn’t be able to get myself there.
5.Let’s say your dad came in your room one day and told you that you had to get married in the next week but you can pick the person but you have to stay with them for the rest of your life no getting out of it, who would you pick?:
Hard one. First of all, my dad’s been dead for 12 years now, so the shock of him coming into my room would probably put me into cardiac arrest. Getting past all that though, I swore I’d never get married again, and I really don’t feel too inclined to gainsay myself on that one. Perhaps I’ll change my mind one day. Once I understood the situation, my father (ghost or not) and I would end up having quite a row over this one.
6. What if you woke up tomorrow and you were someone else completely, who would you be?: A cockroach. (Either you get it or you don’t.)
7.What would be the first thing you would do if you woke up one morning and you were the opposite sex?:
Call a shrink.
8.If all of a sudden you had the ability to do one thing better than everyone else, have one amazing talent, what would it be?:
Write.
9.If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change(personality and looks)?:
Height. I’d like to be able to at least buy “petites” without having to hem them.
10.What is your dream career?:
Indolent rich.
11.What is the one thing you just have to do before you die?:
Write.
12.If you could be a member of any band that has ever existed, what band would that be?:Stephane Grappelli’s and Django Rheinhart’s Hot Club of France quintet

39.If you could be in any movie as the lead role what movie would it be?:
Casa Blanca
40.If you could design your perfect mate what would he/she look like and be like?: Looks … I really could care less. They would be a good listener, willing to confide in me and to take my confidences seriously. They would be secure enough to be independent in some of their activities, and secure enough to allow me independent activities as well. They would like science fiction and “arts” movies. They would be patient, and be able to find a good side to things instead of dwelling on the bad. They would like themselves.
41.If you won the lottery what would you do with your, let’s say, 18 million dollars?: Invest it to set up a fund from which I could live off the interest. Travel, write, volunteer my time to groups that could use a veterinarian.
42.What is the single most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?:
My fourth grade teacher (who was a bit of a nut case) turned my desk upside down and scattered the books, pencils and papers all over the classroom. I then had to crawl on my hands and knees to pick everything up.

I can’t help but wonder where the missing questions went to.
