grim23The Rules
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me" or something of an equally pithy nature.
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a very personal nature. Be warned!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions, or there will be trouble.
4. You will include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them 5 questions.
My responses to her questions:
1. What fear is there for you in being out of control? The fear is the same as wielding an out-of-control weapon. Someone is likely to get hurt or killed. Having said that, I'm human, and there is a great potential to be out of control. Training reduces that potential.
2. Why the Masons? I joined the Free Masons when a roadbrother's (and another BIMC President) son (and my god son) with CP was medically taken care of by the Shriner's Hospital, sponsored by the Free Masons. They wouldn't accept money for his care, so we both joined the Free Masons to give back to them. We are now both Past Masters and life-time members of our respective Lodges.
3. What touches you so deeply that it makes you vulnerable? Love. Honor. Valor. Service.
4. Which character from the Bugs Bunny cartoons would you be? Maybe Bugs himself. Sam the Sheepdog?
5. If you had to pick only one place to live forever, where would it be? Asia. I would move around and train, and learn, and enjoy the culture and arts, as well as the centuries of tradition.
I think, perhaps, I'd like to offer to interview two people: Simone, and Miss Rebecca. However, I'll interview anyone who responds to this. *smile*

Date: 2009-02-17 09:53 pm (UTC)Accidentally discovering a rather strong bull in a rather intimate china shop, and being forced to take said bull by the horns all on my own, so to speak.
2. What is your most pressing challenge?
Understanding the concept of corporate greediness. I fear that if I don't grasp this the way everyone else does, I may be left with empty pockets. However, it threatens my integrity to have my head excessively turned toward profits.
3. Were you to study a martial art, which one would you choose, and why?
I have studied Tai Chi in the past, and really enjoyed it. I need not have the 'mars' in 'martial'. I like to play with the energy like silly putty, which is what Tai Chi is about.
4. What's the most scandalous rumor you've ever heard about yourself?
That I was stealing money from one of the non-profits that I represent. But everyone knows that records from non-profits must be publicly available, and there's no way I'm that stupid. So yeah, it had no teeth.
5. Where's the best place to get Mongolian food?
I don't know any place locally that doesn't do half the menu out of a can, however, there's this great restaurant in Estes Park, Colorado, right off the main shopping strip. Oh, and one in Seattle around the University district, but I couldn't find it again without help from my Seattle friend.
Hugs.
