A Questionnarie

Louise asked me these questions because I asked to be interviewed. Please feel free to participate, just leave a comment and I’ll come up with some questions for ya, as best as I can! These are the rules:

1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying “interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person’s will be different.
3. You will update your journal/blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Here are my questions / answers:

1) If you could choose the careers of your children, what would you choose?

For the record, what they want to do professionally is totally up to their talents and desires. But if I must, I think I will want them to work in something that’s technical / uses the left side of the brain more than the right side. I’m very left-brained and I think that would enable us to have more common things to do together and talk about, and probably make our relationship more harmonious and friend-like rather than parent/child-like.

2) Have you ever been caught in a really big lie, and if so, what happened?

This will sound boring - I don’t think I’ve ever made a big lie / been caught lying. Either that or I have managed to forget everything about it. I do the occasional white lie but nothing major.

3) You are going on a mystery trip. It could be anywhere in the world. You can only bring 5 things, and you don’t need to worry about money. What would you bring?

This is a bit difficult without knowing where the destination is and what local accommodations are available. But I would like to bring my husband, a laptop (hopefully will have Wi-Fi access), a high end digital camera, a pair of comfortable shoes, and a razor (more for the husband than for me, as I really dislike him having any facial hair. It should also go without saying that I do not have any facial hair).

4) What fictional character would you like to be?

My mind went completely blank for this one. Albeit all the issues in my life past and present, I’m very happy to be where I am right now. So I don’t think I’d want to trade for anything else.

But I was talking to Kristin and I thought it might be great fun to be James Bond! (The question did not say I must remain the same gender). I love all the gadgets he always have, and who can resist the parties with unlimited intake amounts of booze and still not get drunk. Plus all the sex partners (pretty women) he gets to sleep with without having any strings attached. Yea, I could play that for a bit.

5) If you had to choose one place to vacation at for the rest of your life, what place would you choose?

It would definitely have to be some place warm, with lots of fresh fruit and seafood. I’ve never been to Tahiti but I imagine I would fare pretty well there There’s mountains to climb, lots of hiking trails, warm weather, fabulously clear water, lots of snorkeling fun. Oh yeah!
