tangomarine1. one place you volunteer (or would like to)? Why?
I'd like to volunteer at my uni hospital. It's good work and I find hospitals oddly soothing.
2. one book you'd like to see made into a movie? Why?
Ned Beauman's Madness is Better than Defeat is a strange tangled layer cake of a novel; I don't know how much I liked it, but I do know I badly want to see it onscreen. It's got everything. Drama! Chaos! Romance! Blood! Elaborate conspiracies that end up coming to absolutely nothing! An ending that is already just the literary version of a cut to the title card as Thematically Significant Ending Music plays!
3. one creature (living, extinct, or mythical) you'd like for a pet? Why?
If I could have a tiger, I would have a tiger.
4. one place on Earth you'd like to visit? Why?
Rome. Art, history, pasta.
5. one talent or skill you'd like to develop? Why?
Learning Amharic. This is only really 80% because I want to speak the language and roughly 20% so people will stop getting on my case about it.
