i will probably buy it the day it comes out, and then try to just read little bits at a time to make it last before giving up and consuming the whole thing in a 24 hour period.

what work of fiction really resonates with you and why?

The Thief of Always. It was my favorite book when I was younger, and even now it's amazing to me. It's just very creative, and frightening at the same time. Really sets an example for how I'd like my writing to eventually grow into something that stays with you.

Favorite author?

not really sure. I teach a really random subject that was not my major in college. i guess I just kind of followed my instincts and did what came naturally to me, and when something seemed like the right decision, I didn't question it, just went with it.


What do you most like about your job/career?

Well... either doing what I do but in a non-profit venue so I could feel like I'm helping people or ... Helping people organize their houses and offices and stuff. I love organization.

A: Seed catalogs and visiting other farms. It begins with "Oh! Next season I could..." and then it just keeps going for hours.

Sourdough pancakes, lots of butter, lots of maple syrup. Might sound plain & boring, but my tastes are simple. If I want fruit, I'll eat fruit - no need to put it in my pancakes. Same with whipped cream or whatever adventurous types top their stack with - when I'm in the mood for that, I order a sundae. No, I'll take the classic pancake stack any day of the week.

The only twist, I suppose, is the sourdough. Had these first when I lived in Alaska and the taste just stuck with me.


Q: How often do you actually eat breakfast?

No. I get incredibly hungry and get low blood sugar. Plus which, as a child we were very poor and I frequently had to go hungry until I could have breakfast or lunch at school the next day. So I'm just not good with not getting a meal. I will always take a break for some kind of food.

Q. - What's your favorite charity?

definately make-a-wish. :) i run a race every year and the money goes to this charity. i mean what other charity makes a child dream come true. and i love children and to see smiles on their faces it's incredible.

if you were stranded on an island and could have one thing, what would it be?

Well, if the island had wireless, then a computer. If it had satelite telephone systems, then a cell phone.

When was the last really enjoyable telephone conversation you had and who was it with?

A: Don't laugh, but I was a child chess prodigy. Won a couple of tournaments, actually used to have a ranking. I haven't played a game in probably twenty ~ twenty-five years at least, I probably don't even remember how to castle properly.

Q: What talent have you discovered as an adult that no one would've guessed you possessed as a child?

Working with kids. I never did believe that I had the patience and either did anyone else. But I love it. Not for sure if I want any of my own but I like spending the day with them and sending them home at night. lol

What is your favorite emoticon(smiley) and why?

Lots of silly things, but probably the getting caught in the pouring down rain coming out of work and somehow my boss and I ended up dancing all around the parking lot in it. It was wonderfully silly.

What is the best thing that ever happened to you while you were being silly?

Pretty much what I already have, only maybe a more permanent job and that my dog's arthritic hip would get better. Otherwise I'm pretty happy.
