A question for you

I gave this question to one of my "interviewees" from the interview meme, and now I'll ask you.

Where do you want to be?

That wording sounds funny because it's too open-ended, but that's how I mean it.

Whether you want to be in the bathtub in the next room -
Or immediately thought of a distant country -
Or have suddenly grown nostalgic for a time and place from your childhood -
Or are one of those people who thinks of emotional states as locations (e.g. "I'm in a really good place right now about this decision") -
The question's asking whatever you think it's asking.

  2. I want to be at the camp I spent my teen years working at, in the summer.
    Those summer days were amazing, I want to go back and tell the teenage me not to take them for granted, because things will never get that good again.

  5. I want to be in Warsaw, walking the streets, taking trams, going to the movies. I don't care if it's over the top nostalgia, it's the place I always dream of returning to.

  6. I want to be in a place where I don't wake up stressed or go to bed worrying. A place were everyone wasn't to busy to talk or hang out. A place were I could sit and read a book and not feel like I wasted time. sigh...

  9. Depends on the day.

    Mostly I want to be right here.

    But when that pales, I want to be in England. Really bad.

  13. I want to be on the back porch at my Grandmother's. She's got a little bit of land so it's nice to go sit on her back porch and watch the sun set and the birds making rude noises with a cat on your lap. It feels like home.

  14. Away. Somewhere where no one knows me and I don't understand the language. Somewhere where I can go around doing nothing, and everyone is too busy to notice me.
