The River Grey

So my sweet lady friend Ms. Wafols is interviewing me…. sort of. She cho cho chose me to answer some questions and being the good sport that I am I am going to answer them all. Watch me go…

Questions

1. Are you now or have you ever been psychic? No. How do you know? I don’t believe in “psychic”.
2. Would you rather die heroically or cowardly? Heroically (In a grand manner If I am doing the hero thing anyway)
3. How hard would it be for you to live somewhere without fresh indoor water? Electricity? Plumbing? Water..very hard. I am a baker and freah clean water is very important. Electricity..maybe I could survive. I can read and know how to cook on a fire. Plumbing…I MIGHT be able to live without it but I wouldn’t want to.
4. What is your primary cellphone ringtone? Ok I am a music dork and I have three Magnolia Mountain by Ryan Adams and the theme song from Six Feet Under for friends and I will Possess Your Heart for MNM.
5. Are you more witty or snarky? I didn’t know how to answer thins so I asked a friend and she said it depends on when you get me.. Monday (morning especially) snarky come Thursday witty.
6. Most extreme personal change or changes you’ve ever made? For me it was becoming a mother. I was a step mother starting at 18 but he didn’t live with us until I was 21. I never thought I would be good at it (and the jury is still out about that) but more surprising is I never thought I would love it as much as I do.
7. Favorite city you’ve lived in or want to live in? Portland. Hands down. I felt like I belonged here as soon as I got here.
8. Has your life up til now been more blameless or messy? Moving forward from here, which one would you choose? Messy. I would choose to have it go on being messy. I want to live and that means getting your hands dirty.
9. Worst kiss (or kiss-like experience)? I have had amazing kiss luck in my life. If pressed I would say probably Jr High truth or dare. All tongue. GRODY.
10. You HAVE to pick a religion to practice. Evangelical Christian, Zoroastrian, Jainist or Scientologist? (and why?)  If I HAD to pick I would go with Jainist because of their belief that anyone can be supreme. Kind of like how they had that ‘anyone can cook’ theme running through the movie Ratatouille.
11. The person you are romantically involved with announces they are getting a sex change. Would it change your feelings for them? No. I love who MNM is not what gender MNM is.
12. Meat helmet or thigh-high golden boots with large wings attached to them? This is sooo funny…. I actually have thigh-high golden boots with large wings attached to them! How odd.
13. How many times have you been what you consider REALLY in love? Do you still love those people/that person? Aside from my children… so many times. I fall in love all the time. I love my first love, my first husband (as hard as that is to admit but he did help me make the most beautiful girl ever ((argue I dare you)), my husband, any number of friends who have deeply and profoundly touched my life. I don’t throw the word around so if you have heard it from me it is true.
14. When you die, what do you think happens? Do you hope to be disappointed or somehow wrong about that? I think my brain and heart stop functioning. I think I stop working. I hope that I have lived fully before my time is up.
15. Do you know your ethnic ancestry? Is that interesting or otherwise important to you? I am learning more and more about mine. It is fascinating. My great great grandmother is documented in the Trail of Tears.
    

I hope that this is good for you Rebekah. It was fun.
