Very Important Interview with Me

I am on the committee for our company newsletter. (must remember to turn in all materials by Monday…eek.)

Each month 3 people from my company are chosen from a green goblet and are interviewed for our publication. (massive press run of 40 copies per month!) This month I managed t0 draw my own name from the goblet of …names. I was challenged with answering the very questions I concocted. (dammit.)

For those who don’t know me…I’m not quick with questions like “name your favorite such and such” “If you could only have one doodad,” and “imagine your mom was a penguin.” I also suck at multiple choice. I thrive on short answer and essay–I totally get to rationalize my line of thinking! (I was told to keep my interview answers short. boo.) I’ve only successfully compiled 3 top 5 lists in my life.

I twisted and twirled in an attempt to let flow the creative and most true parts of myself. Still, I am left with 3 unanswerable questions.

1. If you could be anyone else for a day, who would you be? Apparently, I am not allowed to say Tammi.
2. Who would play you in a movie about…you? Obviously, someone insatiably cute, cheerful, blonde, and impish. Yeah, I know, there’s only one me, but there must be a decent cute blonde actress out there somewhere! and she can’t be too skinny
3. If you could start a rumor about yourself, what would it be? Formerly, one of my most pat-myself-on-the-back-gee-I-am-clever questions. Now not so prized among my creations. Frankenstein’s Creature? not quite. I’ve already lived the “Katie’s pregnant” rumor. Apparently, there are some pretty religious people at my office–they totally believe in immaculate conception!

Successfully answered:

Favorite Movie (Circle of Friends or Meet Me in St. Louis–honorable mention to all things Jane Austen)
Favorite Book (Les Miserables or Jane Eyre–honorable mention to all things Jane Austen)
Person You Admire and Why (My stepdad, Bob. He took on 2 messed up teenage kids when he married my mom and he’s been a great father. So many times he could have said “i’m not your dad” but he sacrifices and loves just like we were his from our creation.)
Favorite Thing About Your Job (the variety and challenge)
If You Could Be a Super Hero, Who Would You Be? (She-Ra, Princess of Power. I so want her boots.)
Favorite Color of Underpants? (okay, so this wasn’t included, but it NEEDS to be added! red, by-the-way.)
If You Could Live in Another Time Period What Would It Be? (I’d live in a Jane Austen novel.)
Favorite Author? (How this question torments the avid reader! Maeve Binchy was my answer.)
