[anais_pf]

1) If you could be either a fish or a bird, which would you be, and why?

2) Would you rather it be 10 degrees too hot or 10 degrees too cold? (Does your answer change if that’s indoors or outdoors?)

3) What is the best thing that happened to you today?

4) Is youth wasted on the young? (Follow-up: are you old or young?)

5) Pasta salad or potato salad?

Bird! I loooove swimming, and being in the water. But flying has got to be *even better* and many birds can swim really well too.

My answers
1) If you could be either a fish or a bird, which would you be, and why?
A fish, I suppose. I'd rather swim than fly.

2) Would you rather it be 10 degrees too hot or 10 degrees too cold? (Does your answer change if that’s indoors or outdoors?)
10 degrees too cold. It's easy enough to put on a layer. But as I've found lately, there's a big difference in trying to stay cool when it's 80 vs 90 out. Doesn't matter indoors or outdoors. I rather cool weather.

3) What is the best thing that happened to you today?
Realizing it's Friday. Been a long week.

4) Is youth wasted on the young? (Follow-up: are you old or young?)
A lot of time, yes. They want to grow up too fast and don't appreciate the lack of responsibility. I'm old-esque.

5) Pasta salad or potato salad?
Pasta salad. More ability to get creative with the add-ins and even the types of pasta (such as a salad with tortellini)

1) If you could be either a fish or a bird, which would you be, and why? Depends on the species and place in the food chain (I'd rather be a shark than a sardine!) but I think a bird, flying beats swimming.

2) Would you rather it be 10 degrees too hot or 10 degrees too cold? (Does your answer change if that’s indoors or outdoors?) I'm Australian, and 10 degrees too hot where I like is scary, while the same too cold would be a thing of merriment to most of the Northern Hemisphere.
On the other hand, I'm Australian, so pretty much every building in my life has aircon. So too hot, and indoors, thankee.

3) What is the best thing that happened to you today? I got to watch a Japanese skating special on TV from Japan (I have rather fallen in love with a couple of skaters, yes...)

4) Is youth wasted on the young? (Follow-up: are you old or young?) Physically - healthwise - probably, you need to get old to appreciate how nice young bones feel. Mentally and emotionally… no. I don't think I'd want my young brain back, I like the older, richer, more memory-rich one.
To quote Asimov, I am in my later middle youth (and okay, getting later all the time)

5) Pasta salad or potato salad? Eeep! I love them both, but if I had to choose… there are two or three pasta salads I would hate to have to live without.
