Baiku's interview

[kitanzi]

Kind of late, but here it is:

1. If you could live in any other city, which would it be?

There are several possibilities, but San Francisco is definitely near the top of the list lately. *G*

2. How often do you get people pointing out what "kitanzi" means in Swahili?

You are the first, though I found out what it meant on my own well after "inventing" it. (I am assuming you do know?)

3. With unlimited access to all the world's libraries, in which direction would you go first?

Oooo! Assuming also unlimited time, probably go back towards genetics. That's always fascinated me, and that's what I originally meant to major in. It's hard to get back into cold, though. If I'd stuck with that I think my life would probably be very different, given how much that field has grown since I left college.

4. If you have access to control exactly what you're like in 5 years, describe what would be different.

Hrrrm, that's a hard one. Definitely with a chunk of lost weight, for health as much as anything, and a permanent job that interests me, and hopefully ACat and I would have a house at that point but in many ways I wouldn't want to change things. If I'm controlling in more detail, I am kinda hoping I will find some other relationships, but I'm wary and picky on that these days, and I'm not going there just to "prove my poly credentials" (or my bi credentials), so that's hard to specify.

5. If you could never have cats or kittens again, what kind of pets would you have?

I would actually like to have a boa constrictor again. I had one once - about as much personality as a rope, but a surprisingly interesting pet.

Yup, I knew what it meant. =)

You had a boa constrictor? Wow... I always said you had a nice asp...

*groan* Yes, yes I did - Cecelia the Seasick Seaserpent. My vegetarian housemate used to hide in the bathroom with the water running while I fed her. I was cruelly and unreasonably amused.

What does "kitanzi" mean in Swahili?

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Rope or noose, I think - I'd have to go look it up. I had no idea it was a real word in any language when I came up with it, and still have no idea how it's pronounced in Swahili.
