Ask me three questions. Any three questions. Of any nature. I will answer as truthfully as I can, and as correctly as I can. Dont blame me if you dont like the answers! Then post this in your own journal, thus letting your friends (me included) ask you anything.

2. How did you meet your wife?
3. When you were 15, what did you want to be?

OK, this isn't meant to sound too smug or anything, but there really isn't much that I would change. I am currently looking for a new job, but work isn't that important to me. I am not very material - I feel I have accumulated what material goods I need.
Perhaps a Howard Hodgkin or a Rothko on the wall? That would really be something to treasure. But I am surrounded by paintings anyway, so that is fine.
Maybe the real answer would be some kind of pain or trauma - but I sincerely don't want that. Life is very good.
2. How did you meet your wife?
Ha! I very nearly didn't. It was the night of an international - Scotland v Ireland at Murrayfield, I think - and I had planned on going to the pub in the afternoon, drinking a few pints of Guiness, watching the rugby, and doing nothing else; but instead I decided not to go to the pub, and to go to watch Scottish Dance Theatre (I think) at the Traverse.
In the bar, I saw a woman I had tried to chat up at a party the week before - we had had a long conversation. With her was a stunning woman in a very tight tartan miniskirt (with wonderful legs!). This was J - and we spent many hours talking in the bar. I then walked her home to her flat in Leith - I was concerned about the number of drunk rugby players around - and I was very virtuous: barely a goodnight kiss.
We met up later in the week - she invited me to an opening of an art exhibition, and then (I think!) we went to see a movie, and dinner. And we have been together ever since (with a minor hiccup...)!
3. When you were 15, what did you want to be?
[ETA: Oops. I forgot the last question!]
I really don't remember. I was really into astronomy, so it could have been an astronomer; but by then I was very good at biology, so I could have decided on botanist. A scientist, anyhow.

That is a fantastic way to meet - in fact, pretty much perfect.
