thefridayfive:
1. What would you do if you won the lottery?
My 9th grade English teacher had us read "The Pearl," and asked us this question. She said, the first thing you should do is hire a lawyer. I loved this teacher a lot and I don't really remember The Pearl, but, I'd take that advice. Then hopefully I would give most of the money away, because money ruins people's lives, especially a sudden influx of it. I would give it directly to friends and strangers.
Taking this question less seriously, as, how would you treat yourself if you had a bunch of disposable income and so did everyone else-- I'd buy a horse.
2. What era do you wish you had lived in?
The future, specifically the Star Trek future. The past seems like it was more difficult in a lot of ways than the present.
3. What kind of robot would you want?
I would not want to own a sentient robot, because ew, but I would enjoy their company as a friend. A non-sentient robot such as a Roomba would be good though.
4. What would you outsource if you could?
Cooking and meal prep.
5. What superpower do you wish you had?
I've been playing Lego Marvel Superheroes with my roommate. My favorite character to play at present is the Human Torch, because he can fly, he can blow up stuff with a beam of flame, he can melt ice, and he's a pretty good fighter.
It would also be pretty great to have power over plants, a la Poison Ivy.
