The Interview

Questions courtesy of the wind beneath my wings, Kerry.

The rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I'll email you five questions of my choosing.
3. You update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. They will answer these questions. Because I said so.

1. If you were suddenly able to get a job at any museum in the world (assuming language wasn't a barrier) which one would it be and why?
No language barrier problems--I would work at the Spam Museum in Austin, Minnesota. They have an amazing sense of humor about the product they praise and it sounds like it would be a fabulous place to work simply because I could let my warped sense of humor run wild. Of course, if I could just spend all day every day exploring the collections storage of the National Museum of American History and get paid for it, I would totally do that.

2. If you could meet one famous person alive today (and famous for anything you'd like) who would it be, and what would you most like to ask them?

Prince William, and I would ask him to marry me. Just kidding! This question is always hard, because there are so many good answers, so many people and so many questions. So, for now, my answer is Walter Cronkite. I would like to ask him how a guy who started at WKY in Oklahoma City became the man that the nation relied on for their news. And then I would proceed to ask him about every major news story in the middle part of the 20th century.

3. What is your guilty pleasure website, one that you read, but that you know has absolutely no redeeming qualities, yet you have to read it anyway? If you don't have one, what's your one big guilty pleasure in life?

I am obsessed with icanhascheezburger.com and all of the related sites that you can get to from there. Probably the worst of these is the Fail Blog, which is an absolutely hilarious look at how people, well, screw up. Constantly. Of course, beyond the internet I have to admit that I watch The Girls Next Door and Keeping Up with the Kardashians on a regular basis. I'm a bad person.

4. What is your worst habit?

I let laundry pile up. Both before I wash it and after it's clean. And I sometimes tear my toenails instead of filing them. Too much information? Maybe.

5. When you were a kid, what did you think you were going to be when you grew up? Do you think if you could go back and show your kid self the life you're leading now, she'd be happy with it?

Oh, I had a whole list of things. When I was little, I was going to be Miss America, a star, and a veterinarian all on my way to becoming the first woman President of the United States. I had the oath of office memorized and everything. I also had this idea that I would get married at a younger age than my Mom did. I think that my kid self would be happy with my career (especially since I just did a veterinarian exhibit ;-) and I think she'd be excited that I have my own home and have great friends, but I think that she would be disappointed that I'm not at certain places in my personal life like she thought I would be. But, then again, what does she know? She's only six.
