Steve Buccheit posted this meme on Story Bones, which he swiped from his pal Camille Alexa. Jim Wright thought you all might get a kick out of it, so he stole it and I in turn, borrowed it from him. The part of the interviewer shall be played by George Clooney. Because really, who doesn’t want to be interviewed by George Clooney.

You gotsta love teh intarweebs.

In thirty-five questions, tell me about yourself.

1) Ever been in a relationship lasting over 5 years?

Yes, my marriage lasted for six, on paper that is.

To be an astronaut. 

3) What talent do you wish you had?

I wish I could draw.

4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?

If I’m driving, ginger-ale. If I’m not, a glass of sweet riesling wine, or a mudslide. But if you’re buying me a drink George, I’m probably going to be a puddle of goo on the floor.

The Vampire Chronicles, World War Z, The Name of the Wind, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, The Lord of the Rings, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Song of Ice and Fire Series, The Harry Potter Series, The Android’s Dream

6) What was the last book you read?

“Ghost” by John Ringo

7) Astrology: Menace to science education or entertainment?

It’s fun to read other people’s horoscopes, especially if the warnings are nasty. One of my favorite lines pertaining to this subject is from the movie Sliding Doors.

“…but the big-flashing-red-light way of telling you’re not really over someone is when you’re still reading their horoscope in the hope that they’re going to get wiped out in some freak napalming incident. ”

8.) Any tattoos and/or piercings? Explain where.

I have my ears pierced. I tried to have double piercings, but neglect led to the holes being patched over. Oh well.

9) Worst habit?

Biting my nails.

10) Best attribute?

My eyes

11) What are your favorite hobbies?

Reading, writing, singing, playing with my children, computer gaming when said children are in bed or otherwise occupied.

12) Do you have a negative or optimistic attitude?

I am a paranoid optimistic. Don’t ask. I don’t even know how to describe it.

 13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?

I’d sing t.v. and movie theme songs throughout history wondering if you could guess them.

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?

There are few that I can remember, but being on a land line when my father was suffering a stroke, calling the police on my cell phone while still asking my father to talk to me is probably right up there.

15) Best thing to ever happen to you?

Holding my children for the first time when each of them were born.

16) Tell me one weird fact about you.

I rip off the crust of regular bread when I eat it with hot dogs or hamburgers, but leave the bread intact when it’s a roll designed to be eaten with said food. Oddly enough, I’ll eat a whole piece of toast with regular bread as well. Yeah, I’m weird.

17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?

Uh… ummm…. uh….

18) What was your first impression of me?

I honestly can’t remember the first time I saw you. I do remember thinking something along the lines of, “he’s not that hot.” As I grew older, my opinion changed.

19) What scares you?

Not being able to provide for my family.

 20) If you could change one thing about how you are, what would it be?

I would like to be less of an emotional eater. It tends to pack on unwanted pounds and I need to get to a point in my life where I don’t run to food as a comfort.

 21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?

Depends. If someones gonna get hurt, I’d be your conscience. If it’s all in good fun, I’d be a pretty big prankster.

 22) What color eyes do you have?

Blue

23) Ever been arrested?

No

Hot fudge brownies smothered in cold vanilla ice cream.

Put it towards a new furnace.

26) Tell me something you want me to know about you.

I am attracted to smart and geeky men. They must also not be too bony or built. A little pudge is actually quite appealing.

27) What’s your favorite place to hang out?

My home office.

28) Do you believe in ghosts? Aliens?

Sure, why not. There are a lot more things I would call insane going around these days. A little belief in aliens or paranormal is the least of our worries.

29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?

Write

30) Do you swear a lot?

I really try not to when I’m around my children, but at work I’m dropping F bombs all “shock and awe” style.

31) Biggest pet peeve?

Rude and entitled people. Making someones day takes so little effort. Just because you’re feeling like ass, doesn’t mean you should treat people as such.

32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?

Multi-faceted

33) Do you believe in/appreciate romance?

I appreciate it a lot more now that it’s gone from my life. :(

An abandoned department store backroom.

I’ll tell you after I’m dead, how about that?
