1. What is one thing you can count on,every morning, to make you face the day with a smile?

Grimm. My chihuahua. My boy. My puppy. Every morning he greets me either with a kiss or a roll onto his back asking for belly rubs.

2. If you could go back in time to witness a single episode in history, what would it be?

Oh man, i have so many I would like to see. The Kennedy Assassination. The first launch of the first Space Shuttle (in person not on TV like I saw when I was a kid). The crowning of Elizabeth I. Marco Polo's first introduction to the Chinese Court. The signing of the Manga Carta and the Declaration of Independence. The Assassination of Tzar Nicolas and his family. The battle of Hastings. The Trial of Joan d'Arc. and lots others

3. If a fairy godmother told you that you were going back in time to a certain early point in your life and that you would be switched in gender and have to live as a male from then on, how would you change your life choices?

Now that's tough. I probably wouldn't have fought so hard to stay OUT of the Citadel which means, had I graduated, I would have had a military career. Now granted, if I still had the same health issues as I did/do it would have been a moot point and I wouldn't have gotten in anyway. But while it's a big change, it's hard to say how much of my choices were made due to my gender rather than my identity, which I concider different things.

4. You have to power to resolve the conflict in the Middle East. How do you do it?

Hire the Swiss Guards or some other neutral or non-Judeo/Christian military and creat the city of Jeruselum a free city (much like Vatican City). Each of the three faiths that claim ties to it get two days a week for "them" and then on the 7th day they rest. City closes except for those that live there.

But until such time as we get past the "my belief is the best and you are wrong and therefore I must make you see the right" we are never going to be able to progress.

5. What is your favorite thing to smell, and why is that so?

I have a couple favorite scents. One of my most favorite, of all things, is the smell of photographic developer. Some of my happiest times growing up was in my father's darkroom.

I do not particularly care for fruity/flowery scents. The one I usually wear when I can find it is a cinnamon and sandlewood combination. I like the woody/spicy.

1. If you could take any college/university classes for free, what would you take?

I'd love to take a film making class. Possibly editing. Just because.

2. What is your idea of bliss?

Floating along the lazy river at Disney World with the one I love.

3. Who is your favorite writer?

How can I pick just one? I have several depending on the genre. JD Robb, Sabrina Jefferies, Jim Butcher, Kim Harrison, James Clavell.


4. If you could anywhere on this planet for a week, where would you go?

I'd go back to Disney World.


5. If you had 1 minute of the President of the United State's time, what would you say?

I'm sorry the majority of the country are being asshats. Tell your successor that to mostly appoint single soccor moms who have to support a family of 4 on under $30K a year into positions that handle money.
