-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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?
