What do you consider your greatest achievement? My career change. If you were to die and come back as a person or thing, what do you think it would be? Since reincarnation is hogwash, I'll not answer this If you could choose what to come back as, what would it be? ...that said, it would be fun to be an otter (I'd like to be comfortable in water), or a house cat (to cater to my laziness) What is your most treasured possession? my brain What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Not being taken seriously, not being seen Where would you like to live? Where I'm living. What is your favorite occupation? Planning something, anything. What is your most marked characteristic?
