14. What do you think the world is going to be like in 2900? I'll let you know when I get there. I plan on living forever - so far, so good.
15. What is your biggest pet peeve? Women who take their boyfriends/spouses for granted, and don't treat them right. Don't even get me started on Women's Lib.
16. What do you do for fun? Adrenaline sports, travel, cybersex. KIDDING! (I rarely travel.) ;)
17. What do you dread doing? Some days, I'd have to say just getting up in the morning. Most of the time, though, it's nothing. I try not to dread things or worry much, because really, what good does it do? Either I have to do something, so I just suck it up and do it, because dreading it just makes it worse; or I don't have to, so I don't bother with it.
18. Best subject? Anything academic, especially Math. Worst subject? P.E. (I actually got a B! >:( )
19. Are you an introvert/extrovert? Neither. I'm equally as likely to be the center of attention in a large crowd as I am to be a total wallflower observing everything, and I absoltely love spending time alone as well.

14. I think it'll be gone by 2900. But if it is still here, I would imagine it'll be run by the thugs and trash we send to prison now.
15. Litterbugs in my neighborhood, totalitarianism at work.
16. Play on the computer, go to the mall, listen to my tunes.

Subject: Re: Getting to know you . . .
1. Where's everyone from? Boston, MA
2. Age? 34

7. Do you consider yourself a realist or a "head in the clouds" type o' person? A little of both, really. While I'm dealing with the practical, real world situations, I am spinning fantatsic visions in my head of how I'd like the outcome to be. I'm also always spinning stories to entertain myself.

She was the first woman in recorded history to rule in her own right. As soon as she was in power, she put an end to war, fed the hungry, housed the homeless, made her country and her people rich, created jobs, expanded trade, was tolerant of other religious beliefs, and did it in such a way that it spread to neighboring countries. I wanna know how she did it, so I can do the same.

14. What do you think the world is going to be like in 2900? Gosh, nobody seems to be very optimistic. :-/ There have been plenty of other times that the world seemed like it was going to go to H*** in a handbasket, and we survived (the Black Death wiped out 1/3 of the population of Europe, for instance). So I'm going to say that we will still be around, but we will have traded our ignorance for enlightenment. We will most certainly have colonies on the other planets of our solar system, and I think we will have found a new, non-polluting energy source by then.
15. What is your biggest pet peeve? Doctor's offices that do not stay open late one night per week, or Saturday afternoons for annual physicals. Ok, if my child is sick, (or I am) I will drop everything to go to the doctor. But if no one is sick, why should I lose a day from work (without pay)? I'd prefer to use my "sick days" when I am sick (instead of dragging myself into work anyways, and giving it to all my co-workers).
16. What do you do for fun? Read. Voraciously. Anything I Can Get My Hands On. Coming here to the 'boards. Listen to music. "People watch" (Hey! lookit the weirdo in the tinfoil hat!! ;D ;) ;D
17. What do you dread doing? Laundry, dishes, other housework (especially cleaning out the cat's litterbox :-X :-X )
18. Best/worst subject? Was best in English and reading, and worst in math. So now I'm an accountant. I think it's because I was so bad in math that I overcompensated.
