Okay, ask me three questions in a comment, yadda yadda yadda, I'll answer as truthfully as I can if I choose to answer at all (no, I'm not giving out my address or phone number. ;))
No holds barred! Except that I can choose not to answer something. ;)

If you had to be stuck in any particular made up world/story, where would you be stuck?
What's your favorite historical time period? (historical. As opposed to non-historical time periods. Whatever the hell those are.)
(and the wonderfully generic...)
Where do you see yourself in five years?

Alternate Worlds, alternate lives...

1) If you had to be stuck in any particular made up world/story, where would you be stuck? Now that's a tough one.
Really, there are so many. Many I've plotted out in my head (and really, some I've actually typed out in a sort of ego-boosting-writing). The Marvel Universe is a good one, or perhaps even better the New Universe. However, I don't suspect I'd be lucky enough to be 'with powers'. Really though, the one I think of most often, the one I imagine myself working my way through, is Planescape from AD&D. Since it encompasses the whole multiverse, there's a 'quest to get home' aspect to being stuck there. I think I'd have a fair chance of surviving and perhaps having something interesting to do to add some excitement to my life.
To be perfectly logical about if, if I can assume I can do the 'walking through shadows' trick, then definately the Chronicles of Amber is the way to go, but that's cheating since it allows me access to any world I want. ;)
2)What's your favorite historical time period? (historical. As opposed to non-historical time periods. Whatever the hell those are.) Drat, I much prefer the non-historical ones! Hrm... my favorite to hear about is probably Ancient Egypt, with Ancient Greece and Rome coming in close seconds or thirds. If I had to choose one to be born into, probably somewhere medieval, or maybe just before the Dark Ages so I can try and forestall it and bring in a technological revolution. ;)
3)Where do you see yourself in five years? I don't know.
Most realistically, probably nowhere, at least nowhere significant. Puttering about in a nothing job, living in a small but comfortable apartment, and still online most of the chance I get. I don't really expect any improvement in my life. Much of what could happen depends on other factors beyond my control. By that time, I could have given up on society and taken up my goal of just walking across the country, possibly repeatedly. There's a not-insignificant chance I could even be dead. I don't know, I generally don't think about it too much.
These possibilities might look somewhat grim at first glance, but really, I gave up on hope as dangerous to me a long time ago, so I tend to, except occasionally in flights of fancy ('Wouldn't it be cool if I won the lottery!) to consider the future only in that light.
