Five Questions
Memething from Hygelak the Dread
How this meme works:
1. Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3. You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4. You'll include this explanation.
5. You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
1) Did you ever go to college, and if so, for what? If not, why, and if you had, what would you have studied? Went to college for about 2 years. Community college, as I have no tolerance for dorm life. Nights, as I was working full time to afford an apartment with asshole boyfriend who screwed me over, leaving no more money for college. I majored in English, hoping to be a writer of some sort. Also developed an interest in anthropology, so I may have pursued that academically, too, had I not been attracted to a life-sucking psychopath.
2) What would be your perfect man (other than your husband), and why? Tall, dark and handsome. Very tall, but not too handsome. Older. Sarcastic, wry wit. Able to take it as well as dish it out. Bit of a dark side. Willing to take my crap to an extent but not get walked all over. Independent, able to make decisions. Able to build/fix just about anything. And I've just horrifyingly realized that I've described my father, so I'll have to add PASSIONATE, OPEN-MINDED AND TALKATIVE in order to differentiate. Oh, and he must believe I'm the coolest, most amazing woman ever. Natch'.
3) What is the funniest encounter you have ever had with John Kovalic, and how does that compare with the funniest thing that has ever happened in your life? How do I narrow it down? Our encounters get funnier as we get to know each other better. The time we played Pirates of the Spanish Main at O'Hare's International Terminal was surreally amusing. There was no hilarious slapstick, just good laughs. There was also the incident with John, a 1st Grenadier Guard, a camera, and four drunken wenches, but the Restraining Order is pretty specific about me not talking about it. And like John, all my friends are freakin' whackos, so I can't really narrow anything down to "Funniest Thing In My Life." I guess I'm blessed that way. Either that, or I'm just easily amused.
4) What do you realistically *want* to do with the rest of your life, and how do you think it will compare with what will *actually* happen in the rest of your life, and why? Husband and I have a 10-year plan (which we're now, in theory, 2.5 years into) to buy some wooded acreage up north, build a timberframe home and live like the Amish. If the Amish had TiVo and DSL and non-procreative sex. And if it doesn't actually happen, I'll make him pay for it for the rest of his life. Cuz I have that power.
5) What is your favorite personal stalker story (whether on the giving or receiving end)? Oh ho hooooooo. You have some mind-reading abilities, my friend. I have one that is a whole blog entry unto itself. I'll post it Monday. Stay tuned! Same bat time, same bat channel!
