Who Am I?
1. leave me a comment saying, 'interview me'.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. update your LJ with the answers to the questions. (You must do this, even if it's filtered for my eyes only!)
4. include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. when others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions
1) Tell me what you think makes Sarah Connor's story worth telling apart from her relationship to John Connor.
Sarah's an extraordinary heroine because she's your every woman - not overly educated - who gets thrown onto a journey that has molded her into something that she probably would've never dreamed possible. This woman who couldn't even back talk a kid who shoved a scoop of ice cream into her pocket became a warrior. Throughout her crazy life, Sarah suffers in silence - who in the hell can she talk to? When she tried talking before she got locked up, so that's not the answer. She endures because she has to. It's because she's an every woman that she can love everyone. She's no better than your average person, it's what makes her a true hero of the people.
2) What's the place you love most in the world that you've actually been?
Australia - I can't lock down an exact location because I haven't been there in yikes, 20 years now. I liked in Australia for 6 months when I was a kid, we lived outside Melbourne in a town called Kilsyth. My parents took full advantage of us being down there - we spent a month before going there traveling through the Pacific Islands - Fiji, Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc. Unfortunately I was like 6 and it was before anyone knew that I needed glasses, so much of my memories of the trip are (literally) fuzzy. We traveled all over Southern Australia though - from Canberra, to Sydney, to Adelaide. In 1988 I went back on a high school trip and we started in Sydney and traveled up the Eastern coast - stopping in Brisbane, Rockhampton, and finally ending up in Cairnes. We spent the 4th of July in a town called Townsville, all had a BBQ on a large veranda of this very awesome very old hotel.
Australia has the nicest people on earth there. Not only that but it's just beautiful and everything is very laid back. People work, but their work isn't their life, they live to relax and enjoy the world around them. Australians really LIVE. Aussie's got gorgeous exotic plants and wildlife, yet particularly in the South the landscape is very similar to home for me, which would be Northern California with rolling brown hills covered in Eucalyptus trees. I just love it there.
3) What's the one place in the world you've always wanted to go?
The British Isles - I particularly want to take a trip that covers huge art museums and visiting haunted castles. Other than that I'd love to goto France to see Monet's home Giverney.
4) If you had to pick one of these two places to live for the rest of your life, which would you pick and why?
I've already always said that if my entire family was gone that I'd happily move Down Under.
5) Werewolves or vampires?
Humm...well considering I have a vampire novel banging around in my head I'll have to go with them. I've actually never been that interested in werewolves.
