Five question meme is back for an encore.

[mrissa]

aliseadae is doing the five questions meme again. Ask or be asked in comments.

1) What book character would you like to be friends with in real life? Friendship is hard, because it relies on particularities of personality. I have been missing Patrick from the Secret Country books, even though right now he'd be one of my friends of whom I would think, "Oof, not now, Patrick," and put off answering an e-mail unless it had something time-sensitive in it.

2) What is your favorite mathematical concept? The relationship of e, i, pi, 1, and 0 is nice.

3) What is your favorite fairy tale? At the moment I am turning over The Twelve Dancing Princesses in my head for a thing, but I don't know that the underside of it will look the same.

4) Tell me about a good memory from college. Sometimes on Saturday mornings I would get up and go to the library, up on the second floor, and I would get whatever I wanted and look out on campus, and there would be nobody in the library and nobody walking around that early and it would be so quiet. There were lots of good people in my life in college, but on the down side, there were lots of good people in my life in college. And having an entire floor of library and view out over campus and the edge of the Minnesota River Valley to myself was really, really lovely.

5) If you could go anywhere in space or on earth and observe something with no harm to yourself, where would you go? (e.g. the horsehead nebula, the center of a volcano) Right now I am weirdly water-focused. So I am thinking the Marianas Trench, with a good light source and some good recording devices. Alternately under the ice crust of Europa if Europa actually has ice crust and water.

Much as I love the Secret Country books, I find myself boggling that anyone would single out Patrick to be their particular friend. Sorry. I found him annoying -- and I speak as someone who had little to no problem with Wesley Crusher, Adric, or Jar Jar Binks.

(Not disbelieving you or anything, I hasten to add.)

Oh, I am fond of all the others. But Ellen can get along fine on her own, and I get to have time with everyone else later, so Patrick is the one I miss.

Ah, I hadn't thought about it including the sequel. Okay, point.

I like your choice of Favorite Mathematical Concept, btw.
