I want to finish my trio of plays. Why haven’t I done it? One word - L-A-Z-I-N-E-S-S
If you could make any fictional character come to life, which one would it be?
Interview with the Vampire was one of my all-time favorite books. It would have been so cool to meet Louis, Claudia and Lestat - just not in a dark alley.
I also would love to meet a fictional teen-age character I created for NaNoWriMo. Her name was Bianca Fuenzalida.
If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be and how long would it take you to spend the $10,000?
Best Buy electronics & that 10 grand would be gone inside of an hour.
Name three things you wanted as a child but never got.
Art, music and dramatics training.
I also wish I could have gone to camp every summer. I would have had less of a weight problem. We went one year, but my brother hated it so much we didn’t get to go again.
How would your friend describe you to someone who has never seen you?
Short, Zaftig, Jodie Foster type
Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
I feel that which watches over all of us assigns people we know and don’t know to protect us.
They used to tell a story in the ashram about a wise man who walked wearing a very expensive coat.
One day he went to bathe in the river, and he hung the coat on a branch.
A villager happened by and noticed the coat.
“How crazy of him! He leaves a very expensive coat out here where anyone can run off with it.”
And with that the villager sat on the banks of the river to wait for the wise man.
When the wise man came the villager admonished him, “You are so wise and yet you leave your expensive coat hanging on a branch where anyone can steal it.”
The wise man answered, “My friend before went to bathe I asked God to watch my coat, and he assigned you to the task.”
If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
Hubby would miss me first, followed by my two close friends who I speak to/see just about everyday.
