01. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
02. I respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal.
03. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
04. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
05. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
1) What's your favorite HRC memory?
A: Although I am working against the fog of time, I think my favorite HRC memory was the bonfire we did at the end of freshman year. For some reason, it left a deep impression and unfortunately was a high water mark in terms of HRC-ness.
2) What are your favorite and least favorite things about Syria? The US?
A: My favorite thing about syria is the feeling of belonging that i get when i am there. Its a strange feeling, but anyone in a position similar to mine would understand. The worst thing about syria is the lack of punctuality that permeates the society there. Even though I hate it, I cant say that i would prefer syria to be more punctual. I appreciate the effect it has on the general culture and as a result, makes the difference between the US and Syria, night and day.
For the US, my favorite thing here is the organization that defines our society. You really take it for granted unless you have traveled abroad. My least favorite thing about the US is the relative ignorance that everyone lives in. No one here is interested in what is going on around the world. In Syria everyone, down to kids 9 and 10, watches the news.
3) If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
A: i would be able to control time. i got the idea from a great episode of Ducktales.
4) Describe your dream house.
A: I haven't really thought that much about it. I guess it would be modern. Something similar to the stuff from/in MoMA
5) What political issue bothers/interests you the most? What would you do about it?
A: While the expected response to this question is naturally the Palestinian Conflict, I would honestly have to say that Darfur bothers me more. The Palestinians have, to a certain degree, made the bed they lie in. On the other hand, the people of Darfur have had little say in their current situation. The continued lack of interest shown by the world is disappointing on a level i have yet to see. I understand that no one tends to care about africa, but if the Western world is so worried about treating everyone equally, then why is the blood of a Sudanese or Nigerian child any less valuable than that of a kid in kansas or London. The difficultly is in the response to this issue. I, personally, would use the tools on the ground and try to feed and clothe the people as quickly and efficiently as possible. In terms of the political situation, I have no clue, but i do know that not doing anything is worse than actually failing. We'll see.
