Teaching and tutoring, when I was a TA in college.
What would be your platform if you ran for public office?
I would never run for public office, but hypothetically, if I would, it would be on equal rights and inclusion.
How do you rate the health system in your country/state and why?
Don't remember exactly, is a while ago. I probably was around sixteen or so.
What is the oldest book you've read, that you still possess?
Have to go look at my bookshelf, but I think my copy of Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles dates to at least high school so maybe it. Some of the books I acquired in used bookshops could be older, though, but I'd have to check dates since I just recall when I bought them (mostly in university).
What book did you love when younger that you haven't read since?
There's an element of heat in this story.
Consuming Fire of Her Desire - Elements comp entry
Doede Volkertsz vaart uit (Doede Volkertz sets sail). It's a Dutch book about a young Frisian sea trader's son and his friends, playing in the time of the Frisian troubles in the 15th century. It was one of my dad's books from his youth. I may still have it in storage.
What book got you interested in your current favourite genre?
Many, most recently the Belgariad by Eddings.
Dost thou enjoy historic novels?
I don’t actively seek them out, but I enjoy the occasional historical novel.
What genre of novel do you generally avoid?
Tintinnabulation - first place (Free Spirit)
Comet Q - second place (Quick and Risqué Sex)
Amnesia - third place (Le Noir Erotique)
None really, except maybe romantic love stories.
What tv station do you usually tune in to?
Peugeot 205 accent.
What is your current car?
I think I've answered this a hundred times, but a soccer Mom minivan (Kia Sedona)
What's the next car you plan to get?
Tintinnabulation - first place (Free Spirit)
Comet Q - second place (Quick and Risqué Sex)
Amnesia - third place (Le Noir Erotique)
I'm not sure which country is best, but with BMW, VW, Audi, Porsche and Mercedes, Germany definitely belongs to the top.
Which of those would you drive if you could choose between them?
Well, three of the brands you mentionned are actually one now, since the VW group (VAG) owns Audi and Porsche, among other things. I already drive a car from that group as my "daily", if I had money to waste on a pleasure car I'd probably buy myself an Audi R8 V10, and if I had 'fuck you money' I'd probably buy a Lamborghini Avantador (which also belongs to the same group). So, right now, it's VAG all the way...
What's your dream car?
Not sure I really have one anymore. I have a new Civic on order and I am quite satisfied with those. Cars have become a commodity item for me, a practical way to get from point A to point B. But back in the day, I was quite fond of Jags and would probably still consider an F-type if I had the coin.
Do you have, or would you consider, an EV?
