• Question: if you could conjure one object out of thin air, right now, and keep it with you for 20 minutes- what would it be?
    (could be a textbook upstairs, наша анна in Petersburg, or the declaration of independence or anything) - charbar
  • Answer:

    Наш круг - that’s more than one object, right? I’ll have to come up with another idea, then. 

    If I could conjure any one object out of thin air, I think it would be, and this will sound stupid, my nail clippers. I lost them about a month ago and haven’t bought new ones, so my nails are running wild! I occasionally have to tear them off and file them down. It’s a very strange situation, as I’m one of those people who’s always looking at her nails and fiddling with them. As I can’t bite them anymore (orthodonture left me with a very ineffective nail-gripping bite) I need to mess with them. And they’re super long right now… 

    Anyway if I could space out the 20 minutes over a couple months I wouldn’t have to buy new ones for a while, so … that’s a terrible answer.

    Here’s a better one - I’m angling to get a guitar for Christmas, so I’d want to have a very short term guitar rental (20 minutes would do) to get my hands on one and start to figure out how they work. Then I would, inevitably, become some sort of guitar prodigy, join a rock band and tour russia for the rest of my life. I know how these things work.
