I really enjoyed reading @ameliabartlett's post, 12 Questions to Get to Know @ameliabartlett | Quirky Reintroduction, based on a questionnaire created by her beau, @hobotang. So I decided to do it myself!
1. What 3 meals would have before heading to the International Space Station?
I had it. It's great
Pulled pork sandwich from the Esquire Tavern in San Antonio, Texas.
A full meal at any tratorria in Rome. Whatever they want, except no eggplant.
A light breakfast, because heavy G is about to happen, followed by zero G.
2. What section of the newspaper would you be?

I'm eclectic af, so... all of them? Well, okay. Probably not the style section.
3. If you were immortal, what age would you choose to stop aging at and why?
So much hair!
- Reasonably fit and healthy, but no longer a kid.
4. What sport would you compete in, if you were in the Olympics?

They're trying to get Chess on the 2020 games. I wouldn't be good, but I'd survive!
5. If you had to go back in time to live the rest of your life where/when would you go?
Back? One nanosecond ago. I want indoor plumbing and fast internet. As bad as things are right now, I have no nostalgia for the past. Shit was worse.
6. If time and money were no barrier what would you create?

The fanciest book editions. So fancy. You wouldn't believe how fancy.
7. Have you ever completed anything on your bucket list?

A few, yeah. I've been to Worldcon and the World Fantasy Convention, books I've translated have won Geffen awards, my writing was published in major newspapers, I've published books, and I've met and interacted with some sff legends.
8. What would be the most surprising scientific discovery imaginable?

Proof of a deity.
9. Are you a good witch or bad witch?
I don't even have a familiar! Image credit: Hannah Troupe on Unsplash
Good, but not super competent.
10. If you had to teach a class on one thing, what would you teach?
Some books I translated
Translation. I would not be good. I am not cut out for teaching.
11. Which band / artist – dead or alive would play at your funeral?
They Might Be Giants.
12. What book, movie read/seen recently you would recommend and why?
Blackfish City by Sam J. Miller is a recent novel I read and really liked. Super smart science fiction, and also delightfully queer.
