1. Who do you wish you were?
Not sure, someone cleverer, brighter, quicker, a non-smoker who could hold her drink. A celebrity-gay, maybe, because I like the attention, in a ahppy long-term relationship with my imaginary girlfriend.

(I haven't told you about the imaginary girlfriend yet. Maybe another time)

2. Who are you glad you aren't?
The foxes I am helping to kill tonight. ha! There's millions of people; I'm really thankful that I've ended up with this life. It's a really good one, so far.

3. describe your perfect living situation. where you are, what you're doing, etc.
I was thinking about this one; I'll spare you the imaginary girlfriend, cottage in the woods, happily ever after one. I'd like a big old house in the country, with me, Will and Ellie. I'd like to be a wildlife ranger with the Forestry Comission, I'd like my two oldest and dearest friends to be around so I don't lose them. however, a large city with a bustling nightlife convinently has 24 hour buses to our big old house. And the sun is always shining, except when it's misty.

4. What's your favourite smell?
I don't know - certain perfumes make my hair stand up, or make me really "mrrrrr!" and things like freshly-cut grass or a pine forest after the rain are also gorgeous. I can't stop inhaling Brewery smell, either.

5. if you could only hug one person ever again, who would it be?
Wiiiiiiiiiill. He is built to be hugged.

"The foxes I am helping to kill tonight. ha!"

I find the fact that your conservation job seems to be about 50% composed of killing wildlife highly amusing... :)

not really, it's only the crows and foxes that need killing - you can catch the stoat in a humane trap and relocate it, and the Kestral you can scare away with Rockets. (I got a good shot in at the Crow with the air rifle this morning!)

We shouldn't have to - we're building the colony up to a sufficient level. The Arctic Terns are already there and don't need saving from predators, but the Little Terns are years away from being able to cope.

And we wouldn't have to kill anything if people never used sandy beaches or nicked eggs, or if the North Sea ecosystem wasn't so royally fucked up from over-fishing!

(oh, and the job is about 49% bird watching, 50% talking to visitors, and about 1% actually killing things. 16 hors a day. The next person to ask me "are you enjoying your little holiday?" gets a slap for being a patronising deckhead)
