the interview game - one more round
So, as I reported last week, Fat Chick For President found one of my old posts and took me up on my offer to play the interview game. The official rules are explained in my original post, but it went like this: Madame President sent a request for me to come up with five questions for her to answer. In turn, she posted answers in her blog and made the same offer that I did to interview volunteers. Finally, she sent me the following reciprocal questions. She accused herself of being long-winded in her answers. I may give her a run for her money with mine.
1. Your taste in men is apparent… tomorrow, you wake up and find you’re the highly talked about “last man on Earth.” Emotional recovery aside, describe the woman who would most satisfy your natural attractiveness quota… bluntly, one who would “do in a pinch” until the masculine species could be revived.
Wow, this is a difficult one, as I am the confirmed stationary peg tagged "homosexual" at the far left end of Dr. Kinsey's scale. While I love women, grew up with six sisters, think some of the most beautiful art every made includes the female figure, have great women friends and am even flattered that a few women have barked up the wrong tree over the years, when it comes to sexual attraction I am solely and staunchly homosexual. Believe me, I would be open to bisexuality if I could, but I don't even have any of that wiring or software installed. Send me a heterosexual file to download into my brain and no icon will appear, my being won't know how to open it. My brain might try to open it using my homosexuality software, but it would come out as gibberish with several error messages noting that certain appendages are missing.
But, if I MUST answer this question, I suppose those really beautiful and smart actresses like Charlize Theron, or Jessica Lange or Halle Barry are riveting when I see them on screen. But if I tried sleeping with any one of them, I'm afraid that we'd just sit on the edge of the bed and gently concede, "This isn't going to happen is it?" We'd then go off for coffee and talk about the really, really sexy, hairy-chested men that we missed having around.
2. Besides your photography, what artistic outlet do you pursue most often?
I wish I could say painting, because it is my first love, but I don't get the time or space as much anymore. At one time, my second and third loves were acting and singing but I haven't done either in years. So I suppose, beyond my photography, graphic and interior design are there most often drawing on my artistic skills and talents, even if it's primarily for my own projects.
3. Halloween is right around the corner. What “couples” costumes do you and Bob wear to the biggest costume party of the year to outdo the couple dressed as Ketchup and Mustard last year?
Well, since Bob and I are often referred to as "Fred and Barney" without being in costume (he is 6'3" and 290 pounds, I'm 5'4" and 150 pounds) I am certain that we could easily pull off even the most badly construction Flintstone costumes.
4. You stub your toe on a lamp in the sand. The genie pops out and says you get only one wish. After the pain dulls to a throb, what do you wish for?
At the risk of sounding very Miss America here, I would wish that all forms of warfare (terrorism, peace-keeping missions, weapon development, whatever) would disappear completely and forever. Right now in my life, I've got a sweet partner, will soon have a new roof over my head that I'm really excited about, Bob's and my health could be a little better, but we know how to take care of that. But the one specter over our lives that makes me feel most hopeless and helpless is the war and hate and insane rhetoric behind all of the violence in the world right now, and making it disappear completely in one clean, nonviolent wish would make the world a very sweet place to live in and travel and learn about other cultures and eat good food and....
5. What is one question you would NEVER answer during The Interview Game?
How much Bob and I spent on our new coffee maker.
