INTERVIEW EXTRAVEGANZA
These questions are curteousy of Shannon:
1.What do you think is the quality that most draws others to you?
I think I am pretty laid back about things. My mom told me the other day she always thought of me as being dramatic. But I truly think that with my interactions with others and my relationships, I am pretty easy going. But, after my mother said that the other day about my flair for the dramatics, I am beginning to think that maybe I see myself differently than others see me, so I don't really know the answer to that question.
2. In what ways have you changed since your marriage to Eric?
Goodness, this is hard. The most external is that I am more organized and responsible. Eric has always been these things and I think that it has rubbed off on me some. It may have something to do with me getting older as well. I think there are a lot of subtle changes that have evolved over the course of the year too. Being a part of something changes you. I no longer look out for my best interest, rather it is our best interest. I think about the future a lot more. We base our decisions on what is right for US and our future children, for example, not moving to some distant island so we can fish and swim and lay on the beach all day, but staying relatively close to our families because we know it is important and right for us. I guess this is the obvious answer that everyone would say after being married a year. But it is a big change. I am excited to answer this question again in a year, 12 years, 25 years……It is an amazing and wonderful thing- to committ yourself to another human the way marraige calls for- I am beginning to understand it more and more everyday. I have gained a new perspective on life, mortality, I don't know. Hard to explain.
3. How do you feel as a Baptist student at Belhaven College?
Well, I am so new to school that I am not quite sure how I feel about it yet. It is interesting to see all sides of everything. There are things in both religions that I really like and things in both that I am not so sure about. I think the basic themes are the same. All the stuff that really matters is the same. I know there are considerable differences, but I think that the things that the Bible was written for are believed in both religions. All the rest is basically interpretation. So it is interesting. I have definitely caught things in my readings that I have previously not seen before. (a teacher and a textbook may have something to do with this) Again, I do not know how I will answer this question in a year. We’ll see.
4. If you could become invisible, how would you use this ability?
I think I would take a lot of trips around the world. The thing is, that I could Touch someone else and they would be invisible too, that way I could take all my Favorite people on trips with me. We would hop a plane that had empty seats and stay in hotels that had vacant rooms. I would get to see the world! I could turn my invisibility on and off though, you know, for pictures and such! 5. What is your favorite memory from highschool?
When I think of highschool, I think of my cousin Laura, my friend Tashia and I
Driving around in my Mom’s jeep, blaring Cranberries and singing at the top of
Our lungs. We were so carefree and uninhibited. For a specific memory, it would Be the time we went to our rival school’s grounds and put our colors all over Their campus. We put streamers and signs up, vasoline on doorknobs and rails, Hung their school mascot, a gator, from the flag pole by its neck, just good fun. We parked our cars a mile out and ran there and back so we were so scared of Getting caught, which was why it was so fun I think. It was the “biggest, baddest” thing I have ever done (I am pretty tame!) Again, carefree and uninhibited. I think that is something you start to lose after highschool, to some degree, so those type things are my favorite things about that time.
::If you would like to participate too, here are your instructions:
1. Leave me a comment saying “interview me.”
2. I will respond by asking you five questions (not the same as you see here).
3. You will update your blog/site with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
And the cycle continues, on and on and on...
I'll warn you now: it's easier said than done.::
