I'm stuck between Portugal or Canada. Portugal would be nice because what I've heard of the lifestyle, the mild weather, and access to the EU, but I would have to learn Portuguese. Canada would be nice because of being close to the US (physically and culturally) and I tend to like cold weather at times. I've never been to Ireland, but that may be a good one too. I'd have to visit to see what it's like.

What's something you came up with entirely? It could be a piece of art, an idea, a story, whatever as long as you created it.

I wrote a novella once. I wrote a novel too but never got past first draft with that so it's not 'complete'. But the novella was pretty much there. It was about a music journalist who became obsessed with an image of a missing girl who had never been found, presumed dead, and that had been used as an album cover by a briefly popular band. It was a sort of detective/ghost story with druggy bits. I tend not to like my own writing after a while but that story I'm still pretty proud of.

What's the most expensive tool you own?

My school-issued Chromebook, which according to the original manufacturer, retails for about 500$. Not even my very VERY old phone costs that much.

To the person below me: If you could jump into a novel or movie, which one and why?

(presuming you occor the lands powers, AE) if you chose Harry Potter, you could become a wizard)

The Gospel According to St. Luke, if I could be the quiet undocumented man in the corner with the concealed six-shooter. I just want to know what really happened.

Same question.

Lord of the Rings because those novels always meant a lot to me. Being there would feel like home in a way. Well, I suppose it would depend on the region and time frame… I wouldn’t be too keen on spending much time in Mordor for instance.

Do you have a favorite artist or art style? If so, who or which one(s)?

I like cubism and symbolic art.

Do you think you could handle fame?

No I think I'd hate it.

Maybe, but to make sure I don't mess up my well-being, I will make sure I stay in Oregon.

Same question.

I imagine the lack of anonymity might pose an issue for me.

Would you ever want to live in a mansion?

And I mean live in it, not just own it for the money.

No thanks, I wouldn't like to have a horse, nor care for one.

Same question.

Only if it came with a lifetime's supply of food and vet's fees, and a groom to keep it in good nick and take it for exercise when I couldn't be arsed. Even then I'm wary of keeping animals because they usually die before I do, and it hurts if I've got attached to them, and every time they're looking a bit ill I think "oh s**t, this is it." So I don't know.

Same question.

I would love a horse; my grandfather owns and races them, and I have been riding since age 5. Having my own would be amazing.

Same question
