Interview with the Vampire....er, me.

Here is how the game is played:
Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me." I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions to be a little more intimate!
You then update your journal/bloggy thing/whatever with the answers to the questions. (No excuses; it's required.) You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

You have a pretty good memory most of the time, but if you were forced to forget all but one single memory, what memory would you want to keep and why?
The immediate answer that comes to mind is probably something that hasn't happened yet. As much as I've mostly enjoyed life so far, I really hope the best is yet to come and I guess if I'd have to forget every single memory but one I want to remember the best. Maybe my wedding or something momentous like that. Who knows.

What is the biggest lie you ever told and who did you tell it to?
I'd say the biggest lie wasn't a blatant lie, rather a lie of omission. Most of my friends didn't know that my parents started the process of getting a divorce the summer before my senior year. I was embarrassed about it and I don't really know why, so I just didn't tell people. I'm sure people knew more than I was letting on, but I dove into school and activities rather than facing what was going on at home. And my "lie" didn't just last through the remainder of high school, I think if you talked to most people I went to Concordia with they'd assume my parents were still married. It's just not something I like talking about so I avoided it at all costs, but I'm getting better about it now.

They say you learn something new every day. If it were possible for you to learn any one fact about anything or anyone, what fact would you want to learn and why? (It could be anything from an unknown historical fact to a secret that some one has never told.)
I think I'd like to learn how to make decisions. Anyone who knows me know that I don't like making decisions and it's not because I don't have an opinion, it's just that I'm so afraid of choosing the wrong choice. Even little things that don't matter, like what we should have for dinner. Then even when I do pick something I doubt myself the whole time, making excuses for how bad my choice was and such. So maybe in the end I could use a lesson in self confidence, but I guess I don't know how you could teach that.

If you could be famous for being the first to do any one thing, what thing would you want to have done?
Well, I think the thing that would make me the most famous would be curing cancer or AIDS...Something big. But what would I really want to be famous for? That's a little harder. Probably something funny like being the first woman to sing show tunes on the moon. I don't know...That's the first thing that comes to mind, we'll go with that.

What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?
This is the hardest one. I've been so lucky to have people who love and support me that it's hard to pick just one. One that stands out the most though is my soon-to-be step dad, Tim. I hated him so much. He stole my mom. I was really angry and not a nice person around him. But he has shown me kindness in so many ways. He makes my mom so happy, happier than I've ever seen her. When I had to continue to pay rent for a house I wasn't living in, he was there to help me out. When I wanted to go visit my best friend for a week, he supported me when everyone else thought it'd be a waste of money and time. He makes damn good chili. Basically, he loves me even though I was a complete and total bitch to him and he hasn't brought the past up even once. He's a good guy.

Momma says life is like a box of chocolates. What do you think life is like?
I think life is like a puzzle. It starts off as just the edges and you have to work your way into it, try new things, turn things over and around, figure it out until it fits just right. Maybe some pieces are for a different puzzle all together so you just have to get rid of those ones, but in the end it's a beautiful picture. Everything fits in the end. If it doesn't fit, it's not the end.
