baronessekat1. What is one thing you can count on,every morning, to make you face the day with a smile?
Grimm. My chihuahua. My boy. My puppy. Every morning he greets me either with a kiss or a roll onto his back asking for belly rubs.
2. If you could go back in time to witness a single episode in history, what would it be?
Oh man, i have so many I would like to see. The Kennedy Assassination. The first launch of the first Space Shuttle (in person not on TV like I saw when I was a kid). The crowning of Elizabeth I. Marco Polo's first introduction to the Chinese Court. The signing of the Manga Carta and the Declaration of Independence. The Assassination of Tzar Nicolas and his family. The battle of Hastings. The Trial of Joan d'Arc. and lots others
3. If a fairy godmother told you that you were going back in time to a certain early point in your life and that you would be switched in gender and have to live as a male from then on, how would you change your life choices?
Now that's tough. I probably wouldn't have fought so hard to stay OUT of the Citadel which means, had I graduated, I would have had a military career. Now granted, if I still had the same health issues as I did/do it would have been a moot point and I wouldn't have gotten in anyway. But while it's a big change, it's hard to say how much of my choices were made due to my gender rather than my identity, which I concider different things.
4. You have to power to resolve the conflict in the Middle East. How do you do it?
Hire the Swiss Guards or some other neutral or non-Judeo/Christian military and creat the city of Jeruselum a free city (much like Vatican City). Each of the three faiths that claim ties to it get two days a week for "them" and then on the 7th day they rest. City closes except for those that live there.
But until such time as we get past the "my belief is the best and you are wrong and therefore I must make you see the right" we are never going to be able to progress.
5. What is your favorite thing to smell, and why is that so?
I have a couple favorite scents. One of my most favorite, of all things, is the smell of photographic developer. Some of my happiest times growing up was in my father's darkroom.
I do not particularly care for fruity/flowery scents. The one I usually wear when I can find it is a cinnamon and sandlewood combination. I like the woody/spicy.

Date: 2013-03-01 05:14 am (UTC)Chief- Citadel? When they first allowed female students my dad got SO excited that I could follow in his footsteps. (I did, in a lot of ways- wrestling, football, drums, skydiving... but had ZERO interest in military school or service. Granted, if my vision hadn't barred me from flying at that point things may have been different.)
