Burning Questions: Episode 2

Welcome back! did you survive the anticipation? Whew! That was a close one!  Here we join this self-led interview, already in progress... 

(just in case you're late to the party, the reason I'm doing this...)

11. What is your favorite Studio Ghibli film and why?

I really love Howl's Moving Castle. It is one of those rare times when I love the movie AND the book- they are vastly different though. Most book/movie combos irritate me- but this one works. (probably because I saw the movie before I read the book, fell in love with the movie, then realized the book was also awesome. Ella Enchanted is another example of this phenomenon)

12. Do you always make eye contact with people when you’re speaking to them?

Rarely. Eye contact makes me very uncomfortable.

13. Have you ever self-harmed?

Only mentally. Let's not dwell. Next question.

14. What’s the nicest compliment you’ve ever been given?

A few years ago I spoke in church. Afterward a man in the congregation shook my hand and said, "great job! I didn't fall asleep once." That is the highest honor a Mormon can receive. Haha!!

15. Have you felt butterflies in your stomach today?

Not today. There is nothing to anticipate. Well, I guess I did get excited when the microwave beeped telling me my cinnamon roll was ready.

16. Did anyone/anything get on your nerves today?

Elphaba is running around like a wild animal... but it's more cute than irritating, so no. I guess not. But the day is young... so...

17. Is there something you currently want, that you can’t have?

An adventure. Anywhere. Although I did sneak in a work trip to Savannah in January, I was supposed to go to Nashville twice this year. I dreamed I went to New York (I've seen it- but never been there). I would DIE to go to Disney World right now- the lines are so short I could actually do most of the parks in a week instead of the two weeks that would give a guest time to take it all in... but really, anywhere outside of my state would be nice.

18. Who was the last person to make you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable?

Probably myself. I try to be funny and end up saying stupid/offensive/idiotic things. Am I my father's daughter? Yes. I am.

But aside from myself, the older gent who asked me out and tried to start text conversations with me. Ugh. Someone from my own decade- that's all I ask!! (please don't make comments about gold digging or how I wouldn't have to wait long for him to die... if you know my history with sexual abuse, you will understand why old men hitting on me makes me VERY uncomfortable)

(there... now I've made YOU uncomfortable)

19. Think of the last film you watched. Who was your favorite character in it?

The other day I had a marathon in honor of RBG- I watched movies about female lawyers. The last one on my list was Laws of Attraction. My favorite character is Thorne Jamison (Michael Sheen) because he's so hilariously clueless.

20. What are you known for?

Probably my Disney prowess. Most people know my love of the House of Mouse. I don't keep it hidden.

Ok. Whew! We made it through another segment. Come back tomorrow for more action and adventure!

Yeah... I know. I need to have a talk with my marketing team.
