What
was your first word? Coco, which was the name
of our dog.
What
is your favorite word? I can't say that, it
is a family site after all.
How
many languages do you speak? I really only
speak English fluently, I speak a little French, and
a tiny bit of Russian (should know more after taking
a year and a half in college) and a tiny bit of Italian.
What
is your favorite time of year, and why? Winter.
Winter in Houston is cool and dry. You can spend time
outside and I always liked wearing sweaters.
What
is your most prized physical possession? Probably
my candy apple red late 80s Fender P-Lyte bass.
If
you could change one thing about yourself, what would
it be? I am way too short and way to chubby
for my tastes, but otherwise I am happy with who I am.
Did
you have any embarrassing nicknames as a kid?
None at all, which is quite a shame. Though when I was
really young if anyone called me Janie I would kick
them as I considered it a sign of disrespect.
What
was your favorite toy as a child? Toss up between
my red and black plastic guitar and my bouncy horse.
What
makes you cry? Frustration and things that
are unfair.
What
is your favorite section of the newspaper?
The online version, because I HATE the smell of news
print. Though, if I go to my parents and it is still
sitting out on the table at my dad's chair, it is the
lifestyle section I shuffle for first. I get my news
from NPR and BBC on my commute to the office.
Do
you have a useless talent that no one else that you
know can do? I can tie two knots into a cherry
stem with my tongue.
What
are three things you can't live without? A
way to make music, friends, and ideas.
If
you could have one superpower - or be one superhero
- which power would you pick, or which hero would you
be? Flying. Not sure why anyone would want
to do anything else. Also, I am a huge Wonder Woman
fan. I collect WW kitsch, and have the old 70s shows.
I used to run around the ranch I grew up on, in my WW
underoos, and tie my siblings up with the yellow hay
bailing twine. My grandfather started buying black so
I would leave it be. So if I could be Wonder Woman I
would be set!
What
did you want to be when you grew up? I went
through a lot of ideas here, from rock star to president.
I found a essay from 6th grade that said I wanted a
job where I would meet with important people and go
to lots of meetings. I now wonder what I though I was
getting into, since that is what I do if you add “self-”
to the front of important.
What
is your favorite mode of transportation? I
love to drive. I have a Honda Element that is it's own
little world on wheels. I have all kinds of things stashed
in it from food, to pens, to hairspray, to spare pantyhose.
I love race cars and like to watch open wheel racing
(No NASCAR wrestling on wheels for me). I do a lot of
driving with my job so I guess I better like it.
If
you could pick any other time period to live in - including
the future - which would it be, and why? I
think I would have liked to have lived in the '70s as
a adult instead of a child. I would like to have been
part of the emerging women's movement and lived in a
society that was more open to exploring.
What
is one thing that you regret that you would go back
and change if you could? I had a boyfriend
in college that I treated rather poorly that I would
like to apologize to for about 1000 things I did. I
hope to get the chance to do that someday.
What
is the one thing you want to do before you die?
I would like to have published either a song, a book,
or some poems. For the poems I want it to be more than
a vanity deal.
You've
just purchased a small island off the coast of any continent
of your choosing, and you are preparing to start your
own country there. What does your flag look like?
I used to be in the SCA and I would probably use my
arms from there. I never did heraldry very well, but
is a golden horizontal lion's claw (jamb) on a red field
with an embattled border (you know...like the top of
a castle) |
