a wolf angel is not a good angel

Questions from Brina!

1. What do you think will be the best and worst parts of your new job?

Well, it’s hard to be sure. I will cheat and say: working from home, for both answers.

2. Where would you like to travel next?

My plan is still Prague/Vienna/environs, in the spring. There are many beachy-tropical places I would also love to see, but those seem less likely.

3. If you could introduce someone to only one poet’s work, who would you choose and why?

It depends who I am introducing to a poet. Denise Levertov? W.S. Merwin? Do I want to make them laugh or cry? How much do I want them to know about me? I cannot say.

4. If you didn’t already have cats, is there another animal you’d want to keep as a pet?

A ferret! Well, multiple ferrets. They sleep on *hammocks*. How can you not want an animal that sleeps in a hammock? But it’s either-or, and my allegiance to purry things is higher than any other animal. I would like to live with reptiles, but they are hard to take care of and I would be too panicky about killing them by accident, so I just figure maybe one day I will meet someone who loves lizards and cats. I also like mice and small rodents, but (a) cats (or ferrets, if I were without cat) and (b) short life spans.

5. Would you get a tattoo or non-ear piercing? Why/why not/what design/where?

No. Mostly because it hurts, and — surprising as it might seem — I am super wimpy with pain. Partially because, with the exception of some eyebrow pierces, I think piercings are ugly (sorry, pierced people). Also because tattoos are so permanent, and there is nothing I would want so much forever, I think. I’ve thought about tattoos, but there’s never anything I wish to tattoo.
