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: 2009-02-20 04:04 am (UTC)Life is too short. I have always lived "safe" out of fear of the unknown. I learned while I was in the hospital that nothing is routine and one's life could end in a matter of seconds. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. My life is changing immensely because of it. I have a bucket list and I'm living life rather than existing.
2. Where is your greatest joy?
Within me. Embracing that inner child and experiencing everything as if it were for the first time. That may change once my first grandchild is born in August. ;)
3. What makes you so successful at work?
I am a perfectionist and I think that the types of customers that I currently deal with appreciate that. I am extrememly organized and amazing at what I do. I'm strong and powerful at work and not afraid to hear someone tell me no. I see that as a challenge rather than a roadblock.
4. What was your favorite meal that you have ever eaten?
My favorite meals have been "favorite" because of the company. My daughter and I had an incredible meal for our birthday several years ago and it was special because it was shared together. My son and I shared an I Declair at Claimjumper on New Year's Eve. That was incredibly special spending that time with him.
5. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Living near the ocean enjoying another chapter of my life.
I'm sorry this took so long, but I've been away from Livejournal while I'm on vacation enjoying Seattle.
