Muffins and Romance
1. Detail a plot/adventure that you'd like to take an active role in.
I would like to have one of my dreams be something that I can directly affect. Usually, they're just indicators of things to come and I report them to Roni and sometimes we look into it and sometimes it's just passed along through the right channels. But I'd like to have a dream, or one of my feelings, that just happens at a time where I can do a direct action right then. Like catching a puppy before he gets hit by a bus, even. It doesn't have to be big.
2. How good a student are/were you? What is/was your favorite and least favorite subject?
Anything that had memorization I was good at, because I have a good memory for things I've read. I loved math, with numbers and patterns. I was homeschooled though, so there wasn't a lot of pressure really. I guess what I didn't like most was philosophy and religion - that stuff has stayed with me and kinda haunts me sometimes, remembering what's happened to other people in similar situations in a variety of religious faiths. I think that's why I don't go to church or pray or anything- I'm trying to avoid being nailed to a tree.
3. Where do you work? How do you feel about your job? If you don't work, what do you do for money?
I work as a bus boy at the Steak House. It's very menial work that doesn't require a lot of thought. I feel like maybe I should do more, but I can barely handle all the people contact at this job- I can't imagine having to do it in something that had pressure and deadlines and all that. Most of my stuff is paid for by the OSI - the apartment and all my bills and everything, but it's nice to just have a little bit of money to do extra things with. Besides, I think they want me to be there to keep an eye on the place in an innocuous way.
4. What genre of books do you like to read?
I like cheesy romance novels, but I skip the sex scenes. I just like to see the patterns of how two characters interact with each other in a semi predictable pattern. Meet / attraction / conflict / separate / reunite / misunderstanding / resolution seems to be a popular formula. The source of conflict is variable - sometimes it is external, or sometimes insular to the relationship itself, or sometimes a combination thereof. In the end though, they're always together having overcome the perils of the genre, usually married and frequently expecting a child. I think people who read them find some comfort in the familiarity of pattern, and also in the assurance that the cycle of life continues in the end. Maybe that's why I like them too.
5. What's your favorite snackfood?
Muffins from the Espresso Pump, dunked into a cup of hot cocoa. The blueberry ones are best, but I like chocolate and chocolate chip too. Bran is right out.
