- What things did you enjoy as a child that you no longer do?
Playing hide-and-go-seek out by the streetlight until after dark almost every night in the summer. Mostly because we don’t have a streetlight here… also, I’m frequently still at work through dusk and well into dark.
- What things did you enjoy as a child that you still do today?
Writing stories to amuse myself… and noone else.
- What things do you do now, that the child you were never thought you’d like?
Smoke. As a child I was constantly hiding my dad’s cigarettes or harping on him to quit, because it was gross. Though I can’t say I like it now, really. It’s always been gross and still is. I don’t know why I go and do it anyway. Who does?
- If you could go back to one age and stay there for a while, what would it be?
Right around… 21 or 23, I think. I was naive and idealistic, and in the middle of getting myself into really big trouble, but too young and hopeful
to really realize it. I still thought life would work out just how I wanted it to.
- If you could fast forward to an age (you do get to come back!) for a while, what would it be?
Hmm. I guess I would fast forward to when I am really old, so I could check it out for myself and see if I really do regret not having kids “when I’m old”, like the political and evangelical right seems to think I will. Then I will know to run out and get knocked up, posthaste.
