1. When did you start losing your hair?
Within a year or so of my accident. While it may have been happening before that, it became really noticeable when I could see that my scars were acting as a sort of hairline gauge. By the time they were completely uncovered, I pretty much came to realize that I wasn't gonna be able to pull of my Fraggle length hairstyle for much longer.
God, I miss Fraggle hair. I have fairly thin, but very curly hair. When I let it grow it could become this thing of utter beauty. Just spilling off of my head. One time, I let an ex-girlfriend blow-dry it. I had to go sideways to pass through some doors.
2. Your dislike of your job is legendary. So, in the best of all possible worlds, what would you prefer to be undertaking as a career?
I'd kill to be working as a journalist. I would really just enjoy working in television or film production, as they tend to get paid kinda silly money. Writing for a living would be nice, but it's one of those things that you can't really make a living at (vis the Pizza joke).
3. Can you realistically see yourself as a parent some day?
Yes. Although having kids of our own is not something that's viable with us now, we do hope to adopt soon. The difficulties inherent in arranging it are rather annoying, but nothing insurmountable.
4. Does anyone really like Stompin' Tom or is it just another one of those quaint Canuck jokes you pull over on the Yanks to ensure we think the country's too weird to annex?
I like him. He's a nice, mildly quirky little folk singer who sings songs about the country. And he's been doing it longer than I've been alive. It's like a walking, talking history book. He tells stories of the land and the people, of what we're proud of and what we're ashamed of.
I also love that he wrote a song about kd Lang before she came out of the closet that he doesn't seem to remember.
But he must be remembered for knowing that the boys were getting stinko, and the girls were playing bingo, but we'd think no more of Inco.. On a Sudbury Saturday Night!
5. What does your wife think of your Ann Coulter obsession?
She gets along just fine. Not knowing about it.
It's just I have a thing for tall, blonde women who are passionate. Sure, she's a force for evil, and if she were my height would probably be realized as horselike at best. But it's not Obsession. Possibly just fetish.
THE RULES:
1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
