The Interview
Thu Feb 12 2004

From Salamander to me, here it is:

RULES
1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

Remember to include the rules when you post your answer in your journal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Duct tape is featured heavily in your diary. If there really were a universal duct tape good for fixing up things, what three things in life would you fix with it? (Fixing the boys to a piece of furniture doesn't count.)

Ok the first is obvious. A duct. Or maybe a duck. It depends on which I came across first.

The second thing I'd use it on would probably be the muffler on my car to keep it from rattling so much. You have no idea how much listening to it when I have to sit and idle at really long red lights makes my teeth itch.

Lastly, if fixing the boys to a piece of furniture doesn't count, what about fixing them to each other? No? Darn. OK, since I can't do that I'd probably wrap it around the little leak in the back yard hose.


2. Hugh Jackman's agent scours the web looking for Hugh's #1 fan so he can arrange to have her interview Hugh for a high profile magazine. He stumbles across your diary, and makes you one of the three finalists for the privilege. He asks you all to submit one question that you would ask Hugh Jackman, and he'll decide who the winner is based on who submits the best question. What question will you ask?


Boy, this is a toughie. I suppose what is your favorite color would disqualify me right away.

I think the question I would ask, would be more directed towards his talent as a parent rather than an actor or singer. I would likely ask a multi-part question to the effect of:
"What is your favorite game to play with your son, and what is your favorite story to read him or song to sing to him?"

If multi-part questions are disallowed, and I could ask only ONE, I would have to ask what he likes best about being a father.

3. Which comic book character is closest to you in temperament and tastes? Is this your favorite character, and why.

Oh boy. My knee jerk response to this would be Wolverine as I frequently have problems controlling my temper. It is pure coincidence that this happens to be one of my favorite characters.

When I think about it more, I would say I'm probably closer to Jubilee, only as an adult rather than a teen. OK, ok, also not Chinese and no where near a body like that (but what real human does have a comic book hero body?). I tend to smart off, don't always think before I speak or take actions, and really don't take anything too seriously. I would much rather find a way to have fun doing something, than buckle down and get to it with no preamble.

4. You once mentioned Clarence, the monster who lived under your bed and in your Mom's purse. If Clarence moved into the house you were living in today, where would he hide out, and what, if anything, would you do to exorcise him?

This one's easy! He would live in between the Washer & Dryer, and I would be the only one he would not let close. I wouldn't exorcise him at all, but definitely use him as an excuse… I mean reason why I can't do the laundry!!!

5. Write a four-line poem commemorating something you've accomplished. Bonus points if it rhymes.

Four lines are not enough to tell all I did
Fix airplanes and computers while popping out a kid
Do my homework, raise my kids, and wash a pot or a pan
Spending time viewing works of Hugh Jackman.















Oh come on, you KNEW I would put something about him in there. Why are you surprised?

    Of course I knew you'd work Hugh in there somehow. That's why I gave you the interview Hugh question. I figured I might as well bow to the inevitable.

    A universal duct tape that would fix ANYTHING, and you use it to fix your muffler? I knda figured that you'd mend rifts between nations, or somebody's broken heart or at least mend that back door in the movie theater that's always locked and won't let in you for free to see Hugh's latest movies.

    I loved your answers. They made me laugh. :o)

    If you want, or have time, I might like to be interviewed. I know you probably don't know me that well, but not only did I miss Sal's cut *grin*, I loved your answers, and have read your diary a little but myself.

    Thanks, and I especially loved the duct tape answers.

    You could probably use regular duct tape to fix your muffler.

    Oooh!! I LOVE Hugh Jackman! He's SO gorgeous!! *swoon* My dear Alli, you have impecable taste in men!

    Heh... I'd like to be interviewed... but, *shrugs*, I dunno... I don't think my answers would be nearly as entertaining. Besides, you've got lots of other willing victims. *wink*

    I thought the same thing about her leaving, but I'm glad she didn't waste a minute doing so since her mom died shortly thereafter. My daughter came home and told me that she heard on the radio what happened for this episode, and who got voted out the next! ITA about Rueben, what the hell was he thinking, Jerri was right. Also, re Richard, good thing that shark didn't latch on to his private appendage hanging out.*SNORT*
    I enjoyed your answers.

    Richard....arg. How he bothers me. I wish that we could get one episode with no naked-Richard shots. That would make me so happy.
