2. Which was your favorite and why?

nyc... why? b/c i lived with great people, in a great place, and i loved my job at the time.

3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why?

stressful. b/c packing is tough. organizing is improtant to me- and i don't think of myself as a packrat- but when packing i find out just how behind i am in streamlining my life and keeping organize. then, i try to make up for it, get behind in my packing and end up staying up to all hours of the night for a week. (this is all fresh in my mind from my recent move).

it's also tough to ask people's help for such a crappy task.

4. What's more important, location or price?

ideally- location is more important. at this point in life- price is how i make decisions.

5. What features does your dream house have (pool, spa bath, big yard, etc.)?

a good front porch and hopefully a back porch- condsive to reading, talking to neighboors, hiding keys, drinking lemonade and the like.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1. What vehicle do you drive?

a 1993 vw fox.

2. How long have you had it?

1.5 yrs.

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?

the speedometer makes this crazy loud noise in the winter. worse than a buzzer but better than someone sticking something sharp in my ear.

it also has a full size spare.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?

the drivers side seat lever doesn't work to collapse the seat. if toting more than one- passenger must enter through drivers side (it's a two door).

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?

a low mileage vintage volvo (early 70's)
