eggwardsAlright, it's Randy's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lostncove turn to interview me...
1. What breakfast cereal should they bring back?
Well, it's not really gone, but Sugar Smacks. Not Honey Smacks, and not just Smacks, real, honest to goodness SUGAR Smacks and they were intended to be made by the creator.
I guess Quake cereal, of Quisp and Quake cereal fame comes to mind.
2. What makes you nervous these days?
Making a fool of myself. I really get upset if I don't feel I made a good impression. Something in me just feels I have to work really hard at it, and I get upset if people don't seem to like me right off. Since i've been meeting so many new people lately, this one's been getting a workout. I just have this need right now to be liked...the comfort factor I guess. I won't open up to people if I don't feel comfortable around them, so i feel I have to start strong so I won't feel stupid or distant later. Nervousness.
Of course if I overpower someone on the first meeting, then I've blown it, haven't I? I guess this is why I tend to stick with a group of people I know, so I don't have to go through the initial getting-to-know-you phase again.
3. What person on your friends list should I add to mine (who isn't already on it, obviously) and why?
Wow, there's a few, but i guess the one I'd pick isdakoopst. Stephen is just a really nice guy, a teacher(of math - ugh), which fascinates me and his posts seem to really come from the heart. I identify with him a lot, even if I don't reply to his posts much. I'm excited that i'll get to meet him this October.
There's many more, but that's one that stood out. For a kindred spirit in theater, you should addscotbear to your list.
4. You discover a bonus $5000 in your checking account. You decide you are going to spend it frivolously ie not on bills, debts, etc. How do you?
I can't pay the bills, huh? Well, I'd probably use it as a down payment on a house. I've been wanting to buy a place of my own, but the down payment is something that has been out of my reach. Otherwise, I guess I would travel to the British Isles. I've always wanted to go to Scotland and London.
5. What's the naughtiest thing you've done in the past month?
Heh. Well, a few weeks ago (but still within the month) I was involved in a threesome in a very bad hotel at a bear run. (Yes, a real threesome, Randy)
No, that's not the shocking part of it, and yes, one of the other two people is on LJ and reading this. The naughty thing is that we left the curtain open and we got our share of admirers. I think I was more embarrassed than turned on by the show, but I let it go after a bit. If I looked up at the window, all of our admirers would scatter away from the window
The fun part was finding out later that one of our admirers is also on LJ. Wow! That's a real leap for the clueless newby. What a first impression.
And we're out...if anyone would like to be interviewed by me, just leave it in a comment, I'll be happy to get some questions going after work!

Date: 2003-06-09 07:42 am (UTC)The last time I cried was when I had to put my doggie to sleep. It was a terrible, terrible expirence. It hurt SO bad, that I haven't even picked up the ashes from the vet office.
2. I've got a magic ticket. It can take you anywhere in the world except where they speak English as a first language. Where are you going?
That is a hard question, since I haven't even ever been on a plane! Ok, I'm going to...Germany! I'm probably gonna be in big trouble, because I think I know all of 20 words in German, and they all relate to dog / dog training :)
3. What's the toughest lesson you've ever learned?
That you can't keep your guard up 100% of the time and still expect people to get close to you. I think I've lost a few chances at having some really good friends because of that.
4. Why do I want to come to Madison, WI?
*puts on sales hat* Well, because its great! We have 4 lakes! There is a nude beach 20 mins away! It's a good size...small enough that getting around town isn't a chore, but big enough that there are interesting things to see and do. Very gay friendly. Eggggcellent coffee shops. Free zoo! Lots of bike trails. Lots of parks. A few bears here and there....but they are the friendly sort *like me* :-)
Did I convince you yet ??
5. Being in Marching Band (not a rock band, I never understood why drummers had to practice drumming all of the time. Tell me why – and make me laugh!
Marching Band!! Did you wear a big white Qtip hat ? :) I did too!!!! Of course, I march to the beat of a 'different' drummer.... I pratice all the time?? I don't really, but mainly I do it to improve my physcial abilities (speed and stamina) which of course can be applyed to OTHER activities. Did you laugh yet? I'm not very good at this :) It lets me pretend I'm a rock star - and I'm my #1 fan....ok..that was corny and sucky. And yes, that IS my final answer :-)

Date: 2003-06-08 10:48 pm (UTC)1. You teach at a university, when many young people are coming to grips with independence and new feelings. I also know that Theater departments can be like families. Have you ever mentored students as the work to come to grips with their new lives? More than just the academics, of course.
