I asked for it — slackermama . com

So my dear friend Fuzzy had this little meme on her blog and me, being the chump that I am, asked for her to interview me too. How was I supposed to know she was going to ask such hard questions?! So I will do my best to answer these.

1) Have you ever told a secret you swore not to tell and if so, why?
Oh geeze. Let me think about that one. There’s all sorts of little ones, usually my own secrets that I can’t keep quiet, like what someone’s birthday present is or something. :lol But as for a big secret… I don’t think I have. Not that I haven’t been tempted. But if I have, I can’t think of an example. Maybe its just that people don’t share their big secrets with me because they know I have no willpower.

2) If you could time travel and witness any one event in history, what would it be and why? If you could change that event somehow, would you try?
I’d probably like to witness something like the California Gold Rush or something with a more positive spin on it. I can read about the bad stuff, or see a movie. But to be there for something good, would be great. And of course I wouldn’t change it. Not only would I need to being a positive event, but changing it might alter the course of history and that in turn might make it so my life wouldn’t be what it is today. All the faults considered, I like my life and my family.

3) Tell me about your first childhood crush.
Well I’m sure I had many. But there was this *one*. There was this boy who moved in across the street from us when I was about 10 years old or so. He was pretty cute. Didn’t go to my school or anything so I had very little interaction with him. I would often find excuses to be outside when he was, and that sort of thing. I did “meet” him more officially when I was in the 8th grade but that whole sob story is better told at another time. :lol

4) What fictional character do you most or least identify with (pick one)? In what ways are you similar? How are you different?
Fictional, eh? When I was in high school I totally was into Jane Eyre. I identified with her in the sense that she was plain and lacked some self confidence in that respect. I’ve never felt I was particularly attractive so I could understand this. Although her argumentativeness was something I didn’t identify with. I was never that strong willed in front of other people, particularly people in a position of power over me. So I always sorta envied that quality, of being able to stand up for yourself.

5) What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done to/for you? What is the meanest thing anyone has ever done to you?
This is easier. When Jackson died, I had some friends that were really there for me. My MOPS group here in town arranged for someone to bring us meals for a good week or two in the beginning. They also purchased us a honeybaked ham, which the boys just LOVED and still talk about how good it was. My online friends, the “Belles” were just as wonderful to us. They sent flowers and cards and they all went in together to buy us a Thomas Kinkade print that we ended up hanging above our “Jackson shelf” in the living room. Their understanding and support was very humbling and I get teary-eyed just thinking about it!

As for the meanest thing, that would probably be this awful girl named Sara from the seventh grade. For some reason, she just had it in for me from the first day of class. You know how it is, you don’t really have any contact with a particular person but they just don’t like you for whatever reason. Anyhow, she was always pretty awful to me, but one day in our Language class, I was up front with some other students to do a presentation. Sara was sitting in the front row and while the teacher wasn’t paying much attention, she jumped up and pulled my pants down. No big deal, really. But I was a pretty modest kid (I still am) and I was MORTIFIED. Honestly it just killed me. I told my mom I didn’t feel good and went right to bed after school that day and didn’t go in the next day. The school called my mom and we went in to talk to the vice principle. She changed my class schedule so I wouldn’t have any more classes with this girl and wouldnt’ have to go back to that same class. It was AWFUL.

So that’s it. I know my answers are kinda weak, but they were hard questions!!
