Interviewed by Jinkeez
1) You travel back through time and encounter your 10-year-old self. Do you risk altering who you are by giving them advice that may change the future? If so, what do you tell them?
If it wouldn't change the outcome of who i'm with right now, i would. Other things in my life could alter, as long as i had the same boyfriend. If that were the case, i would say yes i would. I would tell myself that it isn't my fault, that it's not me who is or has the problem. That my father is the one who sucked, not me.
2) If you could instantly master one skill that you know nothing about right now, what would it be, and why?
the magic that pastry chefs seem to know, or some sort of physical something, like yoga or tai chi.
3) So, you still live out in Alden, right? Did you grow up there..? What do you think of it after all this time..? Does it seem to be changing much? What makes it feel so much like "home" to you?
i've lived in the same house in alden my entire life up to and including this very day. It has basically stayed the same, we've lost some businesses (ames, odds-n-ends)and some things have changed (Tops moving, blockbuster coming in causing us to lose the independently owned video stores we had)but all in all it is still pretty much the same. I've never known any other home. My house is isolated so i'm very used to being able to do what i want in my large yard with no neighbors, i can be as noisy as i want to be, go on adventures in my woods. If i lived anywhere else i wouldn't be able to have those experiences. I dread the day i have to live smack in the middle of suburbia.
4) If you had the opportunity to take a 3 to 4-day vacation, travelling by car, where would you head? What kinds of things would you stop at along the way? i would like to drive to delaware maybe, or the adirondacks. I would stop in isolated little towns and old abandoned buildings to take photos. Little local shops, roadside veggie and flower stands. Local restaurants, parks and if there was one, i'd stop at the zoo.
5) What do you think happens after you die?
I really have no idea. My biggest fear is dying because i don't want to leave behind those i love. I hope that in the end you end up being able to be with those you truly loved in your life. But the idea that there's nothing afterwards is always there in the back of my mind, and that terrifies me. My life is so-so, but i like having one. I don't like change, and death is the biggest change of all, and i can't even prepare for what happens afterward.
Thanks Mike!
