I lived most of my life in Canada, spent a year in France, went to university in Massachusetts and now I live in London - a dream come true I must say. I'm not bad with languages; I speak fluent French and I have passable Spanish and Italian, so most of Europe is open to me (I never wanted to go to Germany anyway...)

None of my ER trips were embarrassing because of the medical stuff...but I broke my wrist when I was 15 and a friend drove me to the ER. Anyway, the resident who was taking care of me was drop-dead gorgeous and while we were waiting for him to come back with my X-ray results, we were talking about how hot he was. Of course, he came in behind us, we didn't know, and then I spent the longest, most awkward fifteen minutes of my life as he put on the cast.

I do not have a hero. There are a great deal of people that I admire for various reasons, but I can't say that any one of them qualifies as my hero. People are too flawed for me to ever find someone I could look up to with the reverence that 'hero' implies.

Mmm, I was recently asked about this, and I can't really come up with anything. I don't regret much, and even my bad decisions have served as learning experiences, and I don't regret them per se. I'm young, though, without much baggage, so I'm sure my answer will be markedly different in a few years.

I'd love to come, but I can't afford the ticket right now, not to mention being busy with my first year of grad school. If this does pan out, hopefully it will give a logistical blue-print for how a GA convention might eventually take place.
Refined or not, it's still presented in a manner that holds no appeal to me. I also don't need my comedy to be moral or to present family values. I realize that it is hugely popular, and there are parts that I have found funny in the past, but when I compare it to other comedy (especially British) I just don't see why I would waste two hours of my life watching over-played stereotypes.
