The ever-amazing and inspiring Jamie Ridler has come up with some interesting questions for me to answer. Read her enlightening interview here! If you would like to be interviewed by me, I would love to design some questions for you! Here are the rules:

• leave me a comment with your email address saying: “interview me”
• I will e-mail you five questions of my choice
• you can then answer the questions on your blog {with a link back to my blog}
• you should also post these rules, along with an offer to interview anyone else who emails you, wanting to be interviewed
• anyone who asks to be interviewed should be sent 5 questions to answer on their blog
• it would be nice if the questions were individualized for each blogger

1. What were you like in public school?

I liked to write poetry and draw. Shocker there. :) LOL! My favorite time was recess and I was one of the last kids to straggle back inside. One time, we even got into HUGE trouble for lingering outside after the bell. I got the ruler to the hand quite a few times as I recall. :)

We loved to play make believe, and the unusual thing was that both girls and boys played. Our favorite scenario was "Superheroes" and I was almost always Wonder Woman, or Cat Woman. I had a crush on my teacher in grade 4. Oh my! I started early. :)

At home, my favorite pass time was reading and playing with my Mechano set. I'm afraid I mutilated all my Barbies. I cut their hair and dyed it pink and purple with my water colors. I was a young "punk"!

2. What song are you currently most likely to get caught singing along to?

That's a hard one. I love music. All kinds of music. I used to be an online DJ for three years so my collection is significant. I do find myself singing "Like a Virgin" on odd occasions from time to time, or "Skinny Marinky Dink". Yeah, I know. Weird :) A certain friend got me hooked on "Mother Lover" with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg...*cough* Thanks Danette! :)

3. What's something you would do-over if you had a chance?

I would seriously not listen to my dad and go to Concordia and study Broadcast Media instead of going to McGill to study Literature and Psychology. My life would have taken a totally different direction.

4. On New Year's Eve 2010 what will you be celebrating?

Of course Jamie would include a wish-fulfillment question! That's why I love her :) I will be celebrating my new lucrative novel deal and my new relationship with a fabulous man. If you build it, they will come! :)

5. What's something you wish people knew about you?

Another difficult one. It's not like I am exactly mysterious. I am pretty transparent in my emotions and opinions. I wish people knew that despite my forcefulness, I am a softy at heart and would put my own needs aside for that of others. In fact, that is something I am trying to curb, as it hasn't been a very healthy practice for me. :)

Phew! That's it! Thanks Jamie! :) This was fun!

The wonderful Arty Em and I will be redoing the radio interview on blogtalk radio because the first one crashed and burned due to technical difficulties. If you are available this Monday at 9:30 am Eastern time, swing on by. You can check out the details here.

I am looking forward to interviewing those of you who wish it! :)
