Interview the person below you

This is pretty simple, but it can be lots of fun. The idea is to post a general question, then someone answers it and posts another and so on. The questions can be anything from trivial to serious to obscure.

First question: The world is going to finish in 1 hour. How are you going to spend that hour?

If you could confront anyone from your past, who would it be and why?

There are actually several, because I was not good at standing up for myself when I was younger.  Probably the one I would want to confront the most is the older brother of my best friend in Kindergarten.  One night when I spent the night, he came in the room and tried to molest me.  I woke up and he quit, but he scared me too bad to tell anyone, threatened my older sister, who was closer to his age.  I woke up their parents complaining of a sick stomach and asked to go home.  I never spent the night at her house again and I never told her why.  This encounter had a profound effect on my view of sex for a long time, and it took me a while to figure it out and get over it.  He had no right.

If you could be anyone for a day, who would it be and why?

If you could be anyone for a day, who would it be and why?

Well, my first instinct is to say my graduate advisor because he's brilliant, but if I could really be anyone for a day I'd be me 10 years ago.  I was in my early twenties and I was having the time of my life.  It seemed like I had very few responsibilities, and way more adventures!

If you could go back to school, what would you study?

That's easy: Civil Engineering.  I wouldn't have gone to college right out of high school so I could mature a little more and not start out by having a 1.8 average my first semester in a civil engineering program.  Now, here I sit with my Master's in Public Policy and Administration and find myself quite restricted due to it (pay sucks and the psychological benefit of working for the common good wears off pretty quickly). 

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that if you don't have a professional degree, you're probably just going to get stuck teaching your useless degree to other people who, for some reason unknown, think it's not useless (who end up in your same shoes).

What are your spiritual beliefs?  How did you arrive at them (even if you're agnostic or atheist)?

I am Christian. I totally love to listen to Chuck Swendal. I listen to him every day as I drive to work. I have found that if you are Christian, other Christians will find you. They will somehow make themselves available in your everday life.

Would you like to know what it would be like to be someone of the oposite sex for one week?

I would LOVE to know what it is like to be the opposite sex for a week.  Trash the house, leave the toilet seat up, stare at boobies... YOU know, the usual! lol jk

If you had to only eat one thing for the rest of your life, day in and day out, what would it be?

If you had to only eat one thing for the rest of your life, day in and day out, what would it be?

fruit and cottage cheese :)

If you could be any animal for a day what would you want to be?

I would be 'my own' dog because I would be able to know what she was thinking when I smother her with kisses and lots of love.... 

When you know you shouldn't be doing something AND do it anyway..... what's your reasoning for doing it?

like??

umm, I lied about something a coworker said-she got fired. It had beencoming, and my lie was just the final blow. It was her or me.. I still feel guilty.

would you have an affair a friends boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife? have you?

never bad karma us sisters need to support eachother

Do you pick your skin?

No, my skin is pretty smooth so I don't ever get the urge.

Is hair starting to sprout where it does not belong?

On my chin and black, urgh!!  I pluck the few out with tweezers about once a week.

What do you do to relax and de-stress?

Stress: Walk my dogs and try to work through what the worst case scenario would be if I failed in whatever is stressing me out. Once I realize that it isn't life or death then I generally calm down.

Relax: Read.

Have you watched the documentary Planet Earth? Do you believe that we should plunder the earth for its resources?

Edit, made it not yes or no! :P 

I have not watched Planet Earth,

However

I do not believe that we should plunder the Earth for any more reasons,we create enough havoc already,Our Air quality sucks and it is preventable.Oil :) we started using it as a cheap resource,it is no longer cheap,it is running short and eventually will run out completely.Replenishable fuel sources,the technology is there,and in fact they are using it,STOP pouring cash into greedy arab nations that hate us anyway and more widely produce vehicles and home heating systems and more that run on say...corn.National Parks and recreatonal facilities,they were sat aside to enable people to view untouched nature and are disapearing before our eyes.It all comes down to money.Stop plundering and rapping the earth there are other ways to live and to ensure the survival of all humans and the only home that we have for generations to come.(sorry this is my passion but i will stop now.:)

What made you finally decide to get fit and lose weight?

 

I was diagnosed with sciatica. I was told that losing weight will help it to heal and may keep it from acting up again.

If you could go to any country for free, where would you go and why?

 

Ireland!

It is gorgous there.The Wicklow Mountain just outside Dublin are amazing especially in the spring when the flowers are all in bloom.Plus ther is the U2 wall that is always changing!

If you won 1 million tax free dollars what would you do with it?

Travel around the world. Then buy a nice big country house and open an equestrian centre or an animal refuge.

What would you do to your worst enemy if you had the chance to do anything you wanted?

What would you do to your worst enemy if you had the chance to do anything you wanted?

I hate having enemies.  All humans should have a second chance.  It's just hard when someone does something to hurt someone so close to you.  The only enemy I have is the rapist pig and poor excuse for a priest who raped my sister. I would want him locked in jail and have him endure the same pain and torture my sister had to experience because of him.  My sister life has never been the same.  She has suffered so much.  I would want him to know what it's like.

Would you rather a metal fence, wood fence, or stone wall?

A stone wall could be so beautiful. I imagine a large lot with a beautiful path and garden. (Everyone ultimately will be judged, have peace)

Do you prefer a stormy night with cuddling or a romantic dinner at a nice restaurant with ambiance?

stormy night with cuddling!

If you were given the chance to experience what it is like to be deaf (provivded you aren't already) for a day, would you take it?
