  1. Leave a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
  2. I will respond; I’ll ask you five questions.
  3. You’ll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
  4. You’ll include this explanation.
  5. You’ll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

  
  

  1.  would you choose to live your entire life in a time period other than the one into which you were born?  if so, which one?  if not, why?(it’s the fab Rx painkillers, isn’t it.  it’s okay, me too.)
  personally, I would like to live in the future, where there are presumably BETTER painkillers and Rx’s are a thing of the past.  my life is too cushy to consider going too far into the past.  if I could be a fascist dictator or roman emperor…I’d have to consider that.  reality past, wow, that’s a bit real, smelly, and dangerous.  final answer…I’d like to try my hand at securing a spot in the jazz culture of the early twentieth century.

  
  

  2.  do you have any expectation of how you will die?  if so, is there a reason for your belief (family history, etc) or is it completely irrational?
  I don’t really know, although some say they do…but then, I’m not really open to knowing.  I don’t want to know.  it is my fervant hope that I see my children into adulthood, and beyond that, outlive them all.  if I can make it through middle age without getting cancer or having heart problems, I would be profoundly grateful.  in that case, family history would weighted in the favor of my death at 85-95 from a series of debilitating strokes.  my PREFERENCE would be to cark it from one massive stroke immediately before losing my mental capacity…seeing as that is already impossible…well, what was I saying?  who dat?  who dere?

  
  

  3.  what terms do you personally use in casual conversation to describe breasts, buttocks, and genitals?  what terms do you use with your kids?  what terms, if any, do you find too distasteful to use?
  casual:  boobies/boos, butt/bum/ass, penis/willie/johnthomas, vagina, vulva, “special purpose”
  formal:  breasts, bum/bottom, private parts
  there is no word I’ve heard that I find distasteful to use (at this time).  I love the word CUNT…just can’t use it enough…in fact, it’s printed on my nightgown.  I have a dear dear friend we call Cunt.  in fact, I have a nightshirt that says cunt, with a crown over it.  it got relegated to night use because the children were horrified when I wore it during the day.  I tried putting electrical tape over the word, but where’s the fun in that?

  
  

  4.  do you have any absolute, undeniable regrets?  something for which you can find no redeeming value?  if so, what is it?
  I know this sounds heroically trite, but not really.  I have made a WHOPPING share of bad choices in my life…choices that had negative consequences…but tragedy’s the shortest distance between two points.  if I had to do it all again, my life would be very boring, because I WOULD do things differently given the knowlege, and I’d prefer things the way they are right now.
  okay, wait, I’d like the opportunity to go back and make my former waitress/barista/fishgutter self wear wrist braces, so I wouldn’t have to use this stupid natural keyboard with my laptop.

  
  

  5.  you have to have a name tattooed boldly across your ass.  whose name will it be?
  my own…  SUPERSTAR!!!
  but if it has to be someone else…hmmmm…
  Bagwan Bill the Cat

  
  

  
  
  does it have to be human?
  why is this the question I’m giving the most concerted thought to??
  I’m really thinking hard about this!
  Thelonious Monk.  but there’s actually a xangan who was a close second.
  
  OKAY!  bring on the request for interviews…I can take it!
