denise gave me my interview questions:
1. i know you don't have children, i don't know if you want them, but say you had
a boy and a girl. what would their names be and why?
I'm really going to betray my English roots on this one. Benjamin and George are family names -- I'd like to honour
my grandfathers. Girls? Isabelle, Georgia, India and Sophie. Is that six? Even if I bless each child with two names, that's
still three children. Three? Too many. How about Benjamin and Georgia, or better yet George or Georgia? That's one and it will
be an easy transition if they want to swap genders.
2. what is your most prized material possession and what does it mean to
you? (not people, pets or qualities.)
In other words, after I grab the dogs, what would I save from the apartment after the big one hits San Francisco?
It would have to be the large Rubbermaid bin of
family photographs. I couldn't imagine living without the photographs of my family --
my mother,
my father,
my sister, my friends, my pets and most importantly,
the chicken.
3. you are running through the african savannah. behind you is a hungry lion,
before you is a lake with deadly fish. what do you do?
Is this a trick question? Being Canadian, I never had to sit through all the various tests American students
suffer through. So if a train leaves New York at 3pm and travels northward at 50 mph, and a train leaves Boston
on time at 5pm travelling southward at 40 mph., where will their paths cross? A hungry lion? Deadly fish? I'd
quickly depress the small button hidden within my jeans pocket to recall my cloaked invisible flying car.
Let the lion and the deadly fish work it out. I'd be home in time to walk the dogs and order a pizza.
4. what is your fondest desire? (nothing altruistic, this is just for you.)
The middle of North America would be torn asunder and when the continent is stitched back
together, San Francisco and Ottawa would be closer together so I could visit my nephew
Eamon every day. Apologies to those in Des Moines.
5. you have just won a fabulous wardrobe from any designer you choose. who would that be?
What designer would Heather Champ, Queen of the Gap choose? That's a really tough question.
New York was my "stylie" phase. New York was my Kate Spade handbag days (Tigger has peed on all
of them). Juicy Couture? Nope, I'll spare the world another overage, overweight chick squeezing
herself into unforgiving valour. Interesting, comfortable and well made. Can I have some help?
