A Five-Question Interview

Friday, April 15, 2005

1. You've washed up on a desert island. Other things washed up with you. You look in your pack to find you have some food, water, knife, flint and steel, instructions on how to make your own bow and arrow, a desert survival guide, and an entertaining novel to read. What one thing do you wish was in your pack (and you can't pick any people)? Why?

A powered-up satellite phone with GPS - I ain't staying on no desert island!

2. I noticed you have a blog about your two children. Tell me the decision process about why you preferred to use their real names, and to post pictures of them. And weren't you scared to do so?

Pretty much up until now, the only people care to read about my kids are family relatives, especially those from out of state and overseas. What is it that I need to be scared of from people who see them on line versus people who see them in person? Identity theft? By the way, anyone who wants to buy my kids something can write them a check with their real name (as provided). Address provided upon request.

3. Are you the same religion now as you were raised to be? Why/Why not?

No. I was born and raised Catholic but now embrace the teachings of fundamental Christianity. (But then I also can't stand other fundamental Christians.) Why? Do this test to Catholics who are exiting a mass: ask them what the readings were and what the homily was about. No one would be able to tell you.

4. If you were to receive your all-time favorite gift, what would it be? It can be anything. Why?

I'd like a surprise party. Never had one thrown for me.

5. You called yourself a lurker. How long have you been lurking, and how did you get here in the first place?

I found "People are Stupid" awhile ago from "Next Blog" - it's a great little button, isn't it? I am interested to find out just how stupid people are.

For the blog-a-thon:
I'll offer to interview the next how many ever people respond to this post, and here's how it works:
1. Leave me a comment saying 'interview me', if you'd like to be interviewed.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions here. They will be different questions than the ones above.
3. You'll update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You'll include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you'll ask them five questions.
