1. What is your most prized material possession?
There are a couple of books whose loss would be pretty devastating (due to the extreme difficulty of replacing them) – two other things spring to mind, though: An oil painting by Molly Cormick, given to me by the artist and my slide collection (both, for obvious reasons, irreplaceable).
2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest?
I still own several things that were given to me in my first year, and, to be honest, I can’t precisely remember which I got first…
3. Are you a packrat?
Emphatically: Yes.
4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum?
We like clutter. And dust. Dust is friendly.
5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there?
A theme? I am planning a Macintosh kitchen, however, my general style is definitely eclectic, so I doubt whether it will be very strictly adhered to…
