Questions.

Nicole asks and I attempt to answer*.

1. What is your favourite childhood memory? I can’t say that I have one childhood memory in particular that I cherish above all. There are a lot of things from my youth that I hold dear: Spending time with my great-grandmother and my great -aunt. Lazy summers spent with my family, seaside. Little quite moments curled up in my grandmother’s arms. Travelling with my mom. Being silly with her. Drive-in movies, curled up on the hood of my mom’s car. Sitting at the kitchen counter at either my grandmothers place or our kitchen, with the sun gently streaming in, doodling, painting and making weird creations out of papier-mâché, egg containers and cardboard boxes. My grandmother or my mom reading to me at night. The good days. Being free, and wild with no real responsibilities.

2. What angers you the most? Abuse and mistreatment. It angers me to see other people oppress those who are weaker them. I cannot abide people who mistreat others just because it makes them feel better. This abuse does not have to be solely directed at humans I hate it when people abuse animals, or any other manner of living creature. It leaves me feeling irate to the point of seeing red and at a loss for words.

3. What is one thing you wish was different about your significant other? Quite honestly nothing comes to mind. He is an amazing caring loving person who is wonderful and delicious just the way he is.
Grumpballishness, tetchy, et al.

4. What is your best talent? Blink. Talent. Sorry no talent here. Truthfully, I am not sure how to answer that one, being a self-deprecating little wench at the best of times. I guess I would say my ease at sardonic self-disparaging humour, which I don’t think truly falls into the category of talent. But if pressed, I will admit to an ability to make people smile or laugh.

5. What is your most prized possession? There really isn’t one particular item that I would claim to be my most prized possession. There is an accumulation of things that I have picked up over the years that hold significance to me. Little tidbits, recollections of memories old and new: A pebble, memory of a dance. Pictures, kept in a wallet of dear friends. An old ring given to me by my grandmother. Boxes of photos, flowers, shells, and other odds and ends. . And Pooh Bear, who’s is now gallivanting about Australia.

To continue the 'game', if you would like us to 'interview' you, leave a comment and we'll send some tough thought-provoking questions your way.

*Nicole you weren’t kidding when you said some of these would be tough. Couldn’t you have just kept them to questions like 2 and 3? I am not good at answering questions about myself.
