lotusbiosm1. How many places have you lived in your life?
It depends on how you count "lived". I've had two "permanent residences", but I only lived in the first one until shortly before my second birthday. I lived in Reimer Hall, Bacchus B, and Bartlett at Alfred, an apartment in Berlin, and two places (well, actually three) here in DC (though two different rooms in one of those places, just like two different rooms in Bacchus B). So 8, approximately.
2. Which was your favorite and why and what street was it on?
Well, probably home, on Wheatley Circle. Because it's the house I grew up in and there are a gazillion books there and my parents live there. I like my current place, though. I also really liked living in Bartlett. Which was a dorm, and not really on a street.
3. If you could live anywhere for the rest of your life, where would it be?
Well, my dream is to have a private island (preferably in the Chesapeke) with a huge house on it, where I could live and have a garden (two gardens- one for herbs/vegetables, one for flowers) and a huge library and a kickin' home theater. And plenty of guest bedrooms so that all my friends could come and stay for as long as they liked, whenever they liked. Barring that, I really like DC, and I wouldn't mind staying here for a good long while, though it is awfully far from other people I'd like to be near too.
4. What would your ideal home have in it?
Lots and lots of books, preferably in a library. A big tv with comfy seating in front of it, digital cable, and a DVD player. A good kitchen. A huge bathtub. Lots of pillows and blankets and places to cuddle. And of course, lots of love.
5. Can you describe your current crib?
It's two stories, three bedrooms, two and a half baths. You walk into a garden area/courtyard from the street, then a brief vestibule that leads to the first set of stairs, that takes you up to the main level. The kitchen, dining room and living room are there, as is the 1/2 bath. We never use the dining room though.
Then you go upstairs where the master bedroom is, and the other bathroom, the guest room, and my room. My room has three large windows with western exposure, crown molding, white walls, not enough posters up, a queen-sized bed, a futon, lots of books, my tv, a fake desk, and nice closet space.
