I have new interview questions

I have new interview questions from brixton:

1. How did you and D meet?

One Christmas holiday, D came into a waaay too trendy gay bar where I was working as a server. Many of the friends he was bar-hopping with took one look at the pictures of the explicit male nudes on the wall and left. D saw me and excused himself to get more cash. I saw him and stole his table from another server. We both felt something incredibly powerful right away. There was no question what was happening. Needless to say, I also made a lot of money that night...

2. What is your favorite holiday cookie or treat? And yes, it can be any holiday and any kind of treat.

I love pumpkin seeds from a night of Hallowe'en carving - especially with a little jalapeno sprinkle.

3. What is your personal philosophy?

My personal philosophy... wow. I guess when it comes to anyone asking me my opinion of an issue I tend to study all sides. I don't believe in black and white - but I also don't believe in sitting on the fence. I don't think there are right and wrong answers to very many things. I believe in examining each case as it comes. I suppose I believe in a hell of a lot of things and I find it hard not to believe in much. I felt a large connection to the book, "The Life of Pi" and not for the obvious reasons of religion and faith. I believe in what is outside is also inside and what is inside can also be found outside. I believe in chaos theory and the im-permanence (is that a word?) of the universe.

I am also, obviously, a true believer in babbling like an idiot.

4. How do you feel about pirates?

As in Peter Pan or in the real thing? I must admit I don't know a lot about real pirates. I'd have to look into that before I told you my feelings surrounded the whole pirate "lifestyle"...

5. What do you wish you would've done before Franklin was born?

Perhaps I would have liked to live in another country for awhile - France, Budapest, Iceland... I don't really feel it is something I can't do now though. In fact, it would be very special to see Franklin grow up in a different culture for awhile - not noticing the cultural differences as much as D and I would.

Other than that - which isn't really anything. I feel I've lived quite a large life before his birth. His coming was another wonderful thing I feel privileged to be apart of.

Oh, on second thought, it would be nice to have finished my Masters. It's pretty slow going right now. Hopefully things pick up soon though.
