Interview by Tammy (coyotedreams)

The Rules 

According to Paul (robbermouse), creator of this game.
- you can ask me 5 questions that I'll try to answer for you... send them in a PM titled INTERVIEW and I'll blog the answers...
- keep the questions relatively clean...
- this is reciprocal... if you interview me... you can bet your ass I'm gonna do it to you... so - - - sending me questions is an agreement to play this
- I'm also gonna ID you so don't ask anything you don't wanna put your hand up for...
- this is not a tag...






Questions

1. What is your earliest childhood memory?

I think my earliest childhood memory is bringing in wood in the Winter time with my twin sister, and as we raced to see who could get the most wood, she pushed me on the stove, and burned what was my whole forearm, and part of my hand.  I remember laying in bed covered with white sheets, and this strange lady 'talked' the fire/burning out of my arm.  I was groggy for days after wards, but it healed so fast...

I don't even want to think what kind of woman that was....lol 

 

2. What was the impetus that got you into writing?

I was very shy when I was young...so shy that when I talked I stuttered.  I made friends easy because I was so smart in elementary school, and my best friend (still my best friend today) would tell me to write what I wanted to say and she would read it to the class.  It got me into writing, and her, too.



3. What "embarrassing moment" taught you the most valuable lesson?

Wow, I think the most valuable lesson I learned from an embarrassing moment came when I was playing with my friends on what we used to call "May Day".  We were coming in from playing softball, and I was clowning with the bat, trying to run from my friends, and one guy, Bernard, tagged me.  I was so hyped that I threw the bat at him.  It hit him, and knocked him out.  He was rushed to the hospital, and stayed in critical condition for years.  he eventually came back to school, and told me he didn't blame me, but I still blame me, to this day.....(.wow@ remembering that)



4. Spring, summer, autumn or winter and why?

Autumn..it's a time to take stock of what you have, and celebrate who you've become.  It's a gorgeous season to be outside, and take in nature's beauty.  it represents when things are 'full' of life...



5. What ancestor would you want to meet if you had the opportunity to do so?

Probably my grandfather. Strangely enough, one day I was online, in a psychic readers chat room on Yahoo years ago, and this medium told me my grandparents were sitting right beside me.  I asked her to describe them to me.  Well she described my grandmother to a tee, but I never saw my grandfather.  I would like to meet him, or see him to know if she was telling the truth or not...I know--crazy

  7. Wow, this was interesting! We learned about a voodoo gypsy woman healing, a childhood crush who introduced you to writing, guilt carried from recess to adulthood, and psychic ancestor revelations. This game rocks.

  9. you might mean #3...but I've resolved myself over the guilt after talking to him many years later, and he said he loved me and had no hard feelings. He went on to become a semi-famous dancer somewhere in New York. He died about 10 yrs ago
