Jan 1 What is one thing you’d like to accomplish in 2020? Finish an original story.
2 What would be the first sentence of your autobiography? "I'm not dead yet." Or possibly "My dad accidentally stood up my mom on their second date, but she gave him one more chance; this is why I exist."
3 For every day of 2020, you will be required to wear a t-shirt with the same one word on it. What word will you choose? Defenestrate.
4 What one thing are you looking forward to in 2020? There are a lot of things that I would be looking forward to if I knew they were definitely going to happen, but that are sufficiently up in the air that I look towards them with vague dread rather than pleasant anticipation. So I'll stick with the rest of the improv class I'm taking.
5 What’s your favorite way to spend a Sunday morning? Some combination of reading, writing, sleeping, and knitting, all completely uninterrupted. (Last time this happened? Probably 1996.)
6 Tell about an “Aha!” moment you’ve had. That moment in my partial differential equations class when the professor was writing out something on the board and I realized that Maxwell's equations, which we'd just covered in my physics class a few days earlier, were PDEs.
7 In the U.S., each state has a “state flower.” If you’re in the U.S., what is your state flower? If you live elsewhere, does your region or country have flower that represents it? (Post a picture?) While it's easy to figure out where I live and my state flower won't give anything away, I'm changing this question. If I had to pick a flower as a symbol: Lamium amplexicaule, also known as henbit, which as a kid I called jewel-in-the-crown because of the way the flower buds look like little amethysts.
8 Would you rather live in a deep-sea station or a space station? Tough call. The deep-sea station has normal gravity; the space station has the cool factor of being in space. In case of massive breakdown, vaccuum decompression would probably be a faster death than drowning (though in deep sea, the water pressure might get me faster). Time to get back to Earth's surface is probably comparable. I lean slightly towards space station.
9 What’s your favorite “comfort food” when you’re feeling down or unwell? Feeling down -- good dark chocolate, or sushi, but not together. Feeling unwell -- canned chicken noodle soup and toast.
