"life story interview"
this is from a textbook, but don't be scared. i don't want to analyze it, or even respond, i just want to read it.
so.. i wanna know.
and if you feel like telling me, please do.
if you don't feel like doing so openly, write me - reena@morphinebaby.com, in fact, that's probably better, you'd tend to write more in an email than a livejournal comment i'd think.
(anonymous people too)
so...tell me your story.
1. divide your life into chunks, chapters, each with their own "plot summary"
2. for each of the following "scenes", describe what happened, who was involved, what you were thinking and feeling, what you think that episode says about who you are, or might be;
// high point
// low point
// turning point
// earliest memory
// important childhood episode
// important adolescent episode
// one other important episode
3. identify and describe the biggest challenge/problem you've faced in life, how it developed, and what you've done to meet that challenge
4. identify and describe in detail the one character with the most positive ifluence in your life story and the one with the most negative influence
5. where is your story going? what will happen next? what will your future look like? future goals? dreams? fears?
6. where do your values lie? are you religious? what are your political beliefs? morals? ethics? causes you support? practices you're against? describe your fundamental values and how they've developed over time
7. look at everything you just wrote and come up with a "theme" central to your story so far
gimme, i want to eat you all up.
