Biddle Interview

For me, this little interesting chain started on my friend Biddle's Blog. I asked him for my five questions. My answers are below. Feel free to keep this going. It it rather enjoyable!

Rules are as follows: You comment on this entry requesting an interview. I respond with five questions. The questions will theoretically be tailored to you based on what I know of you (or want to know). You copy and paste those questions into your own journal, and write the answers, along with these rules. Anyone wanting an interview from you continues the game by requesting an interview from you.


5 questions for you (these were asked by my dear old friend Biddle)...

1.) Tell me about the best day that you can remember. The sort of day where you actually thought to yourself, "This is a very good day." What made it special?

Lots of days come to mind, and oddly enough most surround a car trip of some sort. Not sure what that says about me. But one of the best days was in high school. It was right before my 16th birthday in August of 93. My friend Leigh came in her car, picked me up (she had just turned 16 in June) and we drove down to the Electric Lady Land on Bardstown road. She bought me this cool ass hippie shirt with this crazy design and HUGH triangle shaped sleeves. I loved it (may even still have it somewhere). And I just remember riding home on the Watterson Expressway, smoking cigarettes and listening to Lynard Skynard (Gimmie Three Steps comes to mind). The sun was shining and it was just a feeling of freedom and growing up. Leigh and I had known each other since we were 6. Here we were set free in Louisville and we were almost juniors, school was about to start, but it was still that wonderful summer time and I had a brand new hippie shirt that I loved.

2.) Describe for me the child that you would eventually want in your future. (If you don't want a child, you can describe a pet that you would want or a nice piece of furniture.)

My future child… hmmm it’s hard to even imagine what they would be like. But in my minds eye, I see a little boy (who I would name Aedan or Declan if Ben was out of the room when that time came) with black hair and blue eyes like Ben. I imagine given our hair, he would have very curly hair. I see him being very very smart, which would be a blessing for him, but a curse for me… There is nothing worse then a small child who knows too much for their own smart ass good. And any child of Ben and I would be an extreme smart ass… I dread that day. I pray he loves to read as much as I do, and I would LOVE the irony if he hated video games… I would let him play what ever sport he wanted, but would secretly love it if he played soccer so I could share my love of Manchester United with him. I would want him to be best friends with Bebop as there is no better dog in this world. He will go to Catholic school and look so precious in the little uniform. I hope that he will have Ben’s ability to draw and create and my love of theatre. I pray he doesn’t develop his father’s love of guns and knives… and most of all that he’s a bit of a mommy’s boy, even if only at home when no one can see.

3.) What was the worst job you ever had?

So many to choose from… but I’ll go with working at the Dairy Mart on 22 in front of Orchard Grass (I think that was the name of the subdivision?). (Worked there before my senior year of HS and some into that year.) I had to open at 5 am on Saturdays and Sundays. It was kinda out in BFE, so my Dad, who didn’t like me going in by myself, would get up and go with me (which I enjoyed he helped me put the papers together and we chatted). It was just one of those jobs that remind you why you studied in high school- so you could go to college. The hours were long and the customers were kinda crazy. I was always a little afraid of getting robbed and my manger was a complete idiot. Mostly I just smoked cigarettes and bought scratch off lotto tickets…

4.) In another dimension, you're an internationally known celebrity. Tell me about who that person is and why she's famous.

I know I could have said I found the cure for AIDS or became the first female president. But I went with the answers that first came to mind… so this was it, as silly, geeky, and trashy as it is.

I would be a huge hit on television and movies as an amazing screen writer and director. Maybe for making Firefly a huge hit the second time around, with the blessing of Joss. I would have studied my craft under the likes of Joss Whedon and Russell T Davis. I would write and direct the amazing screenplay that joins Batman (Christian Bale version) and Superman (Brandon Routh version) into a kick ass movie that takes the world by storm. I would be in talks to bring back the Justice Leauge (cause I do love Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern) in film form as well. I would also write a few romantic dramdies that would be hits in the smaller venues like Sundance (see I’m not completely shallow… that is until you read the next sentence) I would also (forgive me Ben, but in this verse I haven’t met you) be married to the oh so hot and talented Nathan Fillion, but we would be home bodies and not the kind of couple that gets talked about the trash mags. I would use my power for good and support such charities as Equality Now, AIDS research and Vietnam Veterans issues. I would give a cool face to the world of geeks. I would be talked about as the person who made it cool for girls to read comic books and go to cons.

5.) Tell me one thing that you're right about and everyone else is wrong about.

Now there’s a loaded question…

On a day to day life level: That I’m not really ready to have children yet.
That turning on the fan, from your Heating and Air system, when the windows are open does help cool the house.
I can fill my 30 GB IPod with the CD’s I currently own.

On a work level: That the operational department of my company doesn’t know it’s ass from a hole in the ground. And that making a loan to “X Company” was a bad idea… (I’m being proven right on that case, which is soooooo satisfying.)

On a superficial level: I told you that Lois’ kid was Superman’s.

On a larger scale: The founding fathers did not create our country to be Baptist or fundamentalist run. They were Deists. VERY different thing.
