If you are willing to be interviewed (five questions) just comment and say so and I will cheerfully interrogate you. Then you post the answers and the same offer in your journal.
1. I know you want at least one child - do you and the wife want more? Do you have names for them yet? :)
Me personally I would love to have a litter. ^_^ My wife and I joked for a while that we'd have a football team. I think in the end if we do have as many as we'd like we'd probably have about three. It was a good number for both of our families. (I'm eldest of three and she's youngest of three.)
As for names...well that's more up to the Regulus muse that she has. *g* At one point in our endless soap opera he wanted to name his child Asellius, and Snape said absolutely not because their child would be referred to as "A-Silly-Us". Hehe, I think honestly we've contemplated the silly notion of naming the children Remus or Regulus, but I think if we were to name them after anyone we write for it would probably be Fate and/or Destine. Those are the RP-Regulus's twin boys, since they were unexpected and a bit of "fate and destiny". ^_^
2. If your life were a movie, who would you want to play you?
Actress wise? I don't know if anyone would really be suited to playing me. It'd be cool to have Cate Blanchett, since she's got my last name. XD (I'm a Blanchet without the extra T.) I think in the end it would be more interesting to be animated. It would let me be more wild and crazy...and pretty much as silly as I like. ^_^
3. Tell me a story about your life.
The tricky part is thinking up a story that I haven't blabbed on about for hours. XD
Let's see going back I can say I was an interesting little kid. When I was a baby I lived with my parents in their first home (in a trailer park...but I promise I'm not trash ^_~). The neighborhood was nice, but I had a fondness for wandering. One day I was probably no more than two, I decided I was going to play "hide and go seek", but I just forgot to tell my mom. I went and hid and my mom had the biggest fit. She searched all over the neighborhood, talking to neighbors and getting close to calling the police. She finally came back to the house and looked in one of the last places that she thought of. The bathroom cabinet. XD I had been in there for so long that I took a nap in the cabinet and no one realized it. Hehe. My mom said she lost about ten years from her life at the time.
To make up for it, my mom tells everyone how I cried "Mommy! Fievels never going to find his mommy!" the first time I saw An American Tail.
4. If you could only have one talent, but you could do it perfectly every time... what would you want to be able to do?
This is actually kind of hard. I almost think that I wish I could be really perfect about getting a job. I stress a LOT about and as great as being awesome at some art form or writing would be, if I didn't have the job problems I would be able to enjoy all of the art stuff I like to do on the side. At the very least, I'd like to be able to focus a bit more. If I can just stick to one thing and follow through until it's done then I'd be one step ahead of the game.
5. If you had a chance to be on Project Runway, would you do it? Do you think you could handle the pressure and time constraints?
If I had the chance, I would do it in an instant. Could I handle it though? Most likely not. The good thing about PR is that even the lowest people (ie the ones that get kicked off first) get promotion. Take last season, Malan was ousted in I think...the third episode. Despite that Malan has been extremely successful. He has runway shows every season and in between and will be at Mercedes Fashion Week with this season's cast. If nothing else PR gives you the chance to show that you are a designer, even if you don't necessarily have the chance to show what kind of designer you are.
