Ooh, got lots of nifty recommendations from the Three by three post! Now, on to answering the questions (and there were some really terrific ones!):
From Mari -
B1 - Do you prefer driving or being driven somewhere?
Unless I have a migraine or I’m really tired, I prefer driving. Especially since I figure the driver should get to choose the music. *grin*
B2 - If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time?
Probably most of it would be spent with loved ones, since there never seems to be enough time to cherish the most important people in your life. And I imagine I’d do a bit more reading than I do!
B3 - What color underwear are you wearing today?
I was wearing a black mesh thong. Now I’m in my jammies, which are comfier with no undies!
And now Karel’s questions -
B-1: Where do you see Angst and Anxiety in, say, ten years?
Not living with me! (Please, Goddess. Oh please.)
B-2: What aspect of your spiritual life do you feel like you’ve been neglecting lately?
(That’s a surprising question from you.) I haven’t written new ritual in quite a while. But then again, that seems to happen when I need it to.
B-3: You’ve done the bungie jump. What next?
Geoffrey is working on getting me up in high places again - this time, for my birthday! He’s promised me a chance to fly a glider (I’ve heard some people call it a sailplane). I’ve always wanted to pilot some kind of aircraft, and I think a non-powered one is a good place to start.
The lovely Kylanath -
B1: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Assuming Geoffrey hasn’t traded me in for a younger model (in which case I’ll be the Crazy Cat Lady in the creepy house on the hill), I’ll probably be sassier, smarter, and sexier than ever.
B2: If you could go anywhere, where would it be?
I’d love to climb Salsbury Hill, explore the stone circle at Avesbury, and walk the labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral.
B3: If you could go back and do one thing over again, what would it be?
My standard answer is that I wouldn’t change anything, because everything in my past has brought me to where I am now, which is a pretty good place to be. If I absolutely had to choose, I would have stood up for myself in any number of situations, instead of doing what I thought would make others happy at the expense of my own happiness.
And the terrific Jaz -
B1: What is your favorite immediate stress/anger control tactic (i.e., counting to ten, deep breaths, etc.)?
My favorite one is to remind myself that my emotion gives me a very narrow perspective, and try to look at the situation objectively. My anger or stress tends to lose momentum if I think about things objectively. It was a difficult habit to learn, and it’s still tough to do at times.
B2: What is your favorite Sabbat and why?
My favorite is Beltane, because it was the first Sabbat after my initiation as Priestess (wow, almost 8 years ago!), and it’s the traditional Sabbat for the “welcome to womanhood” ritual in my personal tradition. My elder daughter had her ritual a few years back, and my younger daughter will have hers this next Beltane.
B3: Scenario: you have been given a million dollars, but it all must go to charities. Which ones do you choose?
That’s a tough one. I would do my best to choose charities that require some effort made on the part of those they help, because the gods truly do help those who help themselves. I would want some of the money to go to charities like the Feral Cat Coalition and the no-kill C.A.T. Shelter (that’s where I got my 2 kitties!), but most of it to organizations that help people build healthier lives & relationships.

Thpppt. Just because I’m not a particularly spiritual person doesn’t mean I don’t respect those who are, or wonder what sort of things they think about. =)
