Want to play along?1. Where’s your favorite beach? I can't give a good answer because I haven't been to enough beaches in my lifetime, and I wasn't all that impressed by the few I
have been to. I'm not really a beach person, to be honest. I'd prefer a nice, exhilarating hike in the mountains. Parasailing is fun, though!
I
would, however, really like to go to Castaway Cay, which is a private island owned by Disney that you can only get to if you go on a Disney Cruise. It's supposed to be pretty amazing (The Flying Dutchman is anchored in the water there, for one thing!), and I love Disney, so...
2. Where’s your favorite place to spend money? As much as I love spending money at Borders and Target, I'm going to say a used bookstore or a thrift store. I'd much rather walk out of a secondhand store with my arms full of items and my pockets still heavy than spend a fortune on one thing at a big chain store.
3. Where’s a good place to watch people? Any mall or park. Also, Market Square in downtown Knoxville. From hobos to families to urban hipsters to street musicians, there's always a wide variety of people there.
4. Where’s a good place to be totally alone? Personally, I'd say relaxing in my bed with a cup of tea, my Zune, and a book. Or outside somewhere, where I can just sit and be surrounded by nature for a while.
5. Where’s a place outside of work (or school) where you’re likely to run into people from work (or school)? In Knoxville, I rarely ever saw anyone I worked or went to school with. In Middlesboro, I'm much more likely to run into someone anywhere -- grocery store, restaurant, Blockbuster, wherever. Middlesboro is a pretty small town, so the odds of a chance encounter are upped considerably.
