Frightening Discovery

Hiya, I think my blog deletes posts after a certain amount of time. If that's true then I don't know why I'm bothering with this. Maybe I'll give it up. I just find that pretty rude that it doesn' t keep my older posts.

Anyway, last night I wrote a 'get to know you' list of questions to a couple of people I know, so that they could email each other and I wouldn't have to do any work. But I enjoyed writing the questions I sent them so much that I thought I'd answer them myself. So, here they are.

Question 1 - Where did you grow up?

I grew up in a little religious town in the middle of nowhere. If anyone has read my story 'So I Sat in the Rain' that is posted on fictionpress.com (I'm Sapphirefly there too, and if you go and read it then you'd better leave a comment or I'll send the Manga Corps after you ^_~!). Yeah, my town was like that. The character's situation in life is not like mine though, but I still retain a HUGE love for the earth and especially the prairie.

Question 2 - Do you have pets?

No! No, seriously, no. I was never allowed to have a pet while growing up and as an adult I view animals as an unnecessary expense that I don't feel like balancing my cheque book around.

Question 3 - What's your job?

Entertaining my readers on fanfiction.net with my magnificent story telling abilities. What did you think it was?

Question 4 - How many kids are in your family, and where do you fall in the line up?

I'm the fifth child of six kids. I have three older brothers, an older sister and a younger brother. And that's why I write the male psyche so much better than the female, just in case you were wondering ^_^!

Question 5 - When did you graduate from high school?

When I was 18, like everyone else, dang it! Man alive! I couldn't wait to get out of there. I had one of my high school buddies ask me if I'd ever go to a reunion and I was like, 'What for?' I'm totally apathetic towards all of that.

Question 6 - Who did you vote for in the last election and why?

I wanted to vote, but in the shuffle of the chaos that is my life, I lost the notices that said where I was supposed to go, so I decided to let myself off the hook. I usually vote.

Question 7 - What was the worst job you ever had?

I'd answer this question, but some of you may have virgin ears. I wouldn't want to expose you the the series of curses I'd have to utter if I were to answer this question properly.

Question 8 - What was the best job you ever had?

Right now. It sure is sweet! Hope you're all dazzled by how incredible I am ... or something like that. I'm actually not that egotistical about my writing. After all, I have never been published, but it is the thing that I do that interests me the most and keeps my brain pumping its juices.

Question 9 - What are your room mates like?

Well, he's kind of quiet, but very good looking. And she's kind of quiet until she's extremely loud. Sorry, I'm married and I have a little girl, so I can't answer this question the same way as a single person.

Question 10 - Do you like slow dancing and walks in the rain? ... or something like that (I wrote these myself, so give me a break, but I'm making myself come up with 20 of these)

I'll walk in the rain, but let me have an umbrella, okay?

Question 11 - What's your favourite book?

The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery. I love that book for so many reasons. I go over why it's my favourite in an earlier post, but since this doesn't archive posts that are older, this may be my last post. I can't tell you how much that pisses me off.

Question 12 - What's your favourite movie?

I don't think movies are a very good medium for story telling. A movie is like a snack of a story, part of a story - not a real story. So, I have movies that I enjoy watching for a little while and then I give them up, because a movie doesn't really have a lot to offer story wise, and they get boring fast. But right now the movie I've been enjoying is called Charlotte Grey. I thought it was a good watch.

Question 13 - Would you describe yourself as type A or type B?

Type A all the way!

Question 14 - What's your favourite topping on a banana split?

The bananas and the peanuts. Mmmm!!!

Question 15 - Do you cook? And if so, what do you cook?

I like cooking and I make lots of yummy things!

Question 16 - What's your favourite quote of all time?

I like to quote C.S. Lewis to myself, and the Simpsons and Strongbad to other people. The quote of the day is "You want to see a knife, boy? This is a knife!" "That's not a knife. That's a spoon!" "Ah, I see you've played knifey-spoony before."

Question 17 - What do you do in your spare time besides goof off on your computer?

Showering and sleeping. What else?

Question 18 - How would you best describe yourself to a total stranger without any guidelines? Both appearance and personality?

I don't really meet people on the internet and have the urge to tell them all about myself, so I have never written something designed to tell someone about the kind of person I am really. If someone wanted to know what kind of person I am, I'd tell them to go read my writing. That explains a lot about me. As for appearance, as I said before: Dark Angel Good Looks.

Question 19 - What is your favourite band?

No question - it's Iris.

Question 20 - THE FINAL QUESTION. Please finish the following sentence: If I do nothing else in my life, I'm definitely going to ...

Raise my child to adulthood. Don't laugh! It's gonna be hard.

Anyway, that's me. I hope you enjoyed that, because it may very well be my last friggen post, if I don't figure out where they store the old stacks.
