I'm interested in improving myself and this website seemed comprehensive, yet free, so I wasn't really risking anything, only my time.

 Gosh! I don't know. I think I already have my dream job . . . no! That's a lie. My dream job would be as a book editor.

 monkey or koala bear

 I guess I like cute cuddly fun animals. Monkeys have interesting personalities. I guess the bear would just be a wonderful hug :-) I love animals.

 dogs, long haired ones mostly, I like terriers, cocker spaniels, shih-poos and the like

 hmm, that's an interesting question i never really thought about before. i guess i grew up with a bunch of wooly mutts, they seem more lovable or something. I tend to associate the bigger sleeker dogs with animals bred for home security, protection and other jobs. And I want a dog to be my best friend, my cuddly love, inside with me and sleeping on my bed.

 Oh my! Anything but seafood! Something foreign and exotic that I've never tried before but is the chef's specialty.

 I love trying new foods. I grew up with a rather limited palate, in a meat and potato family that weren't at all daring. Every month or so I discover a new taste sensation that I love.

 Kevin Smith, Cameron Crowe, Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, Margaret Laurence

 I'm a huge fan of all these people. Kevin Smith would be funny to talk with and unpredictable, one wouldn't know where the conversation would lead. He's also very down to earth. Cameron Crowe has led such an interesting life working for Rolling Stone magazine when he was a kid, marrying a rock star, making multiple movies with big stars like Tom Cruise. All of his films are my favourites. I think he'd be really interesting to talk with. I love Angelina Jolie! I love how she just is who she is and the rest of the world can stick it if they don't like it. I love how she cares about the state of the world and being a good mother. This is someone who really knows who she is, has travelled extensively, has a wild past, I think she'd just be so interesting to get to know. Matt Damon strikes me as being just a regular guy from Boston only wicked talented. The boy can act! He can also write and he's interested in helping other people, in being more than just an actor. I love all his movies. I enjoy him immensely when I see him on talk shows. He has a great sense of humour, and I think he'd be a wonderful dinner guest. He'd bring a different perspective to the table. And then we'd resurrect Margaret Laurence, my favourite Canadian author of my favourite novel, The Diviners. I was devastated when I learned she wasn't alive and I would never have the opportunity to meet her. Even in my early 20s when I first read The Diviners I felt like the character of Morag (tho much older) was based on me. She is the guest most likely to render me speechless in her presence, but I would so love to hear her speak about literature and art and creating.

 My first instinct is to say Rome, so I could spend a couple of months touring the Italian countryside. But that's a real goal of mine, something I intend to make happen, and this is a magic pilot, so perhaps I'd choose Sydney, Australia, because though I would love to go down under one day, I think the chances of it really happening are much less than Italy. So for my fantasy trip, I'll go to Australia!

 i would go shopping around the square downtown for secondhand work-out clothes, books and picture frames. then i would sit on the patio of my favourite bistro and enjoy a cup of coffee and a slice of my favourite dessert, their signature drumstick squares.

 It's strange, for someone who only recently became a morning person, I recall many more sunrises than sunsets. I can't see the sunset out the window by my computer desk because it happens around the other side of the apartment, but last night's dusk was brilliant!

 I can't think of any character I'd want to switch places with.

 I'm familiar with my own flaws and weaknesses, adapting to someone else's would not be any fun.
