queenriley1 - What quality did you have as a child that you wish you could get back?
This was a tricky one. First I was going to saw wonder and amazement at learning something new, but I still have that, it just manifests itself differently. Then I was going to say my willingness to pick up frogs, snakes, bugs, worms, just about anything crawly, stick it in my pocket, and completely gross out my mother when it came laundry time... but seeing as I do my own laundry now, I don't really WANT that back. So I will answer with this: The quality I had as a child that I wish I could get back would be my innocence, just pure and simple innocence.
2 - What well-thought-of writer or poet can you not stand? Why?
John Steinbeck. His writing drives me nuts. I can't pinpoint it exactly, but I think it has to do with his way of tying up something at the end of the same chapter he started the question with. Or maybe it's his general style of writing, or the subjects he writes about. Mostly his phrasing irritates me and I HATED having to read him for school.
3 - Will you raise your daughter to believe in Santa Claus?
Yes. We celebrate both Christmas and Hannukah at this point, though Christmas is not celebrated as the birth of christ (for anybody but my mother-in-law anyway), seeing as neither Jeff nor I believe that Jesus was all he said he was. We celebrate it like most of the country does, as a day for family, presents, great food, and fun. And of course, since we celebrate both, I will not deny my daughter the joy of Santa Claus. :)
4 - What is the sexiest, coolest, most desirable automobile ever made?
The Mini-Cooper! I get tingly and excited every time I see one.
5 - On to more serious topics... Dominic Monaghan or Meriadoc Brandybuck?
Now this was the hardest question you asked. I'll have to go with Dominic Monaghan, difficult as that decision was. For no reason other than the lack of large hairy feet, which is the only thing I find off-putting about Hobbits. ;)
If you want to be interviewed by me, please leave a comment and I'll attempt to ask you five questions, which you should then put in an update in your journal. Erm... note the attempt. Most of them will probably be dumb, already asked, or really really out there, like angua's are getting. :)
