Questions from teross50

1. Of all your many writings, is there one that is truly the defining piece of who you are?
Actually, it's rather the opposite. The writing is more often an exploration of what I'm not, or an exorcism of what I don't want to be, than an expression of who I am. Or, alternately, it's all who I am, I'm just showing different bits all the time.

2. If you could wish and make it so to bring your mom more enlightenment. What would that wish be about?
I think it would be that she wouldn't feel compelled to keep up with the neighbors. Most of her stuff that squishes me is about being the way you ought to be, based on the way your neighbors are, or the way that people on tv are, or whatnot. Also, it's an expensive game.

3. Is there a side of you that no one has ever seen?
I don't think so. I have so little self-control that I'm pretty sure somebody's seen pretty much everything I've got.

4. as I asked one of your thirds, do you have a since of who you might have been before? Perhaps visions of where? Was there senses of at one time you were more to the dark side and you chose not to stay there?
I don't, actually. I've never done the past-life regression thing at all. I sort of joke that I must not usually get the XX chromosome combo, since I'm so far from the proper gender role, but that's more humor than insight. It's an interesting concept, but I've never really explored it.

5. Why do you prefer being a redhead as opposed to your natural blond?
Because my skin is yellow. Yellow hair is okay, and yellow skin is okay, but yellow hair and yellow skin is sort of washed-out looking. I don't like to be all the same color. So, given that I was going to dye, I opted for red because I think it fits my personality. Also, once you've done red once, it's harder to go to a new color, so I'm kind of stuck with it now.
