The Rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me" or something of an equally pithy nature.
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a very personal nature. Be warned!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions, or there will be trouble.
4. You will include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them 5 questions
My interviews:
1. When did you realize you were a ninja?
The real question should be, when did you realize I was standing right behind you?
.. Actually, the year was 2001/2002 when I was swinging a cheap peddler's mall ninja-to around in my bedroom, the blade broke off at the handle from just swinging it, and the blade flew threw the bedroom wall and came out in the hallway. Embedded through the wall.. That's when I realized not even my sword was ninja-enough for my level of skill and was trying to get away.. what valliant effort.
2. What was the most perfect movie in your opinion and why?
"In God's Hands" .. it's a surf movie that borderlines on documentary about a surfer going around the world to experience big wave riding.. He's apparently filthy rich from endorsements, you never know.. but the scenery, the mentality, the emotion that they build up within the main character, the mindset.... basically.. though I never saw the ocean, or surfed even.. I could understand the real life surfers they were trying to portray.. how their desire is like a religion to them, regardless of how or what other people thought of them. I wanted to be that passionate about something that important to me; at least passionate enough about something that would help me experience a higher level of existence while here on earth... oh man.. I just woke up, and sound like I'm rambling and this kind of interview question could only be best answered via a long vocal discussion sometime. Let's do lunch, eh?
3. What's the worst physical injury you've ever had?
HAHA.. wow.. this should be.. eas..E.. .. or not.. holy shit have I been hurt that much??? God.. Wow.. I can't believe I've had so many injuries that I can't think of which was most catastrophic...
I guess when I was younger, I was swinging on a metal traipese bar that broke, and the metal that gave way formed a sort of razor hook that latched into the base of my hand on my wrist about 1/2 inch from my veins, and dragged across down through the muscle, scraped the bone as it slid through that big pad on your palm that's just under your thumb, (that's right, turn your hand over and push down on it and get a feel for how thick it is..) and up in between my thumb and pointer finger... I know it hit the bone because well, in the split second it happened, I could see the bone in my hand before the blood started surging everywhere, and two, you can see a jagged area where the metal scrapped the bone in X-rays, though it's faint because it's healed and stuff nowadays. that was pretty hardcore... when people ask about that injury scar, I tell them it's because I caught a sword with my bare hand.. one handed.. cause I'm a ninja that don't play around.
4. What's something no one knows about you?
Lesee.. nobody knows.... You aren't pulling punches, kind sir.. It used to be the fact that I used to haunt clubs in Louisville as a female with a few friends occasionally and even did a performance at an amature drag night, but.. ooh.. yeah. People knew I did girl mode occasionally, but they didn't know I performed at a club before Eh? Eh? Hide in the spotlight.. Ninjas have trouble doing that, but I did it.. AND I'm a ninja.. go figure..
5. What was the last book your read?
Complete and front to back, Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.. I swear, "One" of the main characters is like Tyler Durden's big sister.. if that makes any sense.. the book was actually painful to read at first because of the time jumps that happened so much, but after I got to about 10% of it left, I couldn't put it down.. and reread it.. again.. I'm currently working on Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" collection, and Stephen R. Donaldson's "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" series.
