1. Describe the last time you were frightened:
About 3 weeks ago, I had a dream that several people I knew (who are dead) were coming up the stairs to talk to me. It was such a vivid dream that I awoke in a sweaty panic. And just thinking about that dream still gets my heart racing a bit.
2. What does your hair look like?
Short, boring, receding a bit. I spend less than 3 minutes on it in the mornings, because I really don't care what it looks like . Well, not like I used to when I was young and single and lookin' fur love.
3. Have you ever dyed your hair a new color?
Many times. I've been just about every color but pink. I prefer being a redhead, honestly. But the job situation won't allow it. One of these days I intend to work at a place that won't mind tattoos, crazy hair, wild clothes. At least that is my dream. I'm still a punk rock brat inside.
4. Do you like heights?
Not particularly. I used to play Super Mario Brothers quite a bit, and I'd have dreams about being in the game. And when I jumped, I'd miss the brick or the little landing pad and fall straight off the screen, waking up in a cold panic. Nothin' scarier.
Almost fell into the Grand Canyon once. I was sitting out on a ledge with a sexy, young german blonde girl who knew absolutely no English. We started smooching, and at some point my feet started slipping and my ass slid down closer to the edge. Fortunately, between my torn jeans and her slender hand, I am still alive to tell the tale.
5. Girl Scout cookies, candy bar sales -- what's the worst fund raising you've had to do?
Sell magazines for my Middle School. What a joke. These schools, so desperate for money, will peddle their embarrasing fund-raisers to the kids with no shame at all. I was used, like so many other kids. And I never did get a prize for all that hard work.
Also, it's a bit difficult to sell magazines when you're wearing a Slayer: South of Heaven tee shirt and smoking cigarettes. Small towns... just love 'em.
