Meme I was avoiding

Seen all over my friendslist, propagated because I went ahead and asked questions of srichard

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

1)Londo or G'Kar?

Londo. And his... attributes. Heh.

2)Why did you decide to get a house so young ? And why Connecticut?

Twenty-six doesn't seem THAT young to me -- we'd been married five years, we had the baby, and the neighborhood the apartment was in was definitely going downhill. I lost a couple of family valuables to break-ins. And I'd read about programs that would really knock down the expense of buying a house if we bought in the city. And there were gorgeous big Victorians of the kind I'd always wanted just a few blocks away, and yet those few blocks made an enormous change in the neighborhood crime rate...

Connecticut because that's where my husband grew up, and in-state tuition for UConn Law School was very much a deciding factor in where he went. If it hadn't been a factor, I would have preferred the Boston area, but such is life.

3)Which cooking school did you go to?

Connecticut Culinary Institute. Chosen because I could reach it on the bus line from my house, more than for reputation or price or anything. I feel I got a reasonably solid education, not CIA standard, but I wasn't really going with ambitions of being a world-class chef; I wanted a decent credential that would help me keep working in a field I'd already discovered that I loved. I've had to learn that despite my inner Hermione, it isn't necessary to be the best at everything I try -- Good Enough can be a source of happiness too.
