Mamazen: Interview time!

My sweet, hilarious, fantastic friend Rebekah asked for readers who wanted to be interviewed... and besides knowing she could pose a fabulous question, I haven't posted in a while and needed blog fodder.

So the deal is... if you want to be interviewed, post in comments and I'll see what i can come up with. You'll link back to me and reply in your bloggy.

Questions

Are you now or have you ever been psychic? How do you know? No, I'm not psychic... I did have a weird summer in my 20s when several completely random dreams came true... not to me but to people I knew. Like I dreamed I had appendicitis and then my roommate had it (down to passing out the same way I did in my dream). Then I dreamed my car was stolen and the guy I was dating had his car stolen. Completely random, never happened again.
Would you rather die heroically or cowardly? Oh I'd rather not die at all to be honest, but if I have to choose, I'll go heroically. I'm not really a hero type, but I can give it a shot. I'll shoot my guns up in the air and yell "aaaaaaaaah"
How hard would it be for you to live somewhere without fresh indoor water? Electricity? Plumbing? I could live for a short time with out electricity, or plumbing. but no fresh water? that would be hard. I've climbed mountains and spent countless nights sleeping under the stars in the woods, but to live like that permanently? I'm just too soft for that now. I used to be hard core... now i am soft core. Oh wait, that's another question isn't it.
What is your primary cellphone ringtone? Um.. some folksy thing that came on my iPhone. I used to have Ryan programed as Walk the Line, and before that Hot Stuff by Donna Summer. But I got an iPhone and have too much fun playing with other things to change the ringtone.
Are you more witty or snarky? Hmmm I think I used to be snarky, but then had a kid and got happy, and am more witty. Or maybe I am snitty, or warky.
Most extreme personal change or changes you've ever made? Feels like right now! I'm on an elimination diet to figure out what is making my eczema flare non stop. I'm eating like 3 things... literally, and adding something new every few days. Talk about extreme. I may never eat chocolate again. Or maybe it was when I got that boob job.
Favorite city you've lived in or want to live in? I'm living the dream baby. Livin. the. dream. I love this city and can't imagine ever leaving. It's the perfect blend of coffee and beer, tattoos and acupuncturist, rain and sun. It's the only civilized place left in the US.
Has your life up til now been more blameless or messy? Moving forward from here, which one would you choose? Probably a little bit of each, leaning toward mess. I would choose messy any day of the week. Life (like a toddler) should be messy, fun and something you fall asleep smiling about.
Worst kiss (or kiss-like experience)? Oh definitely when I was making my move on Justin Pollack in HS and Angela Jacobus barfed all over me... Killed the opportunity for a kiss, and possibly ruined my entire life? or did she save me from a life of misery? sigh. we'll never know. Good thing I met Ryan or I might be a tired loveless spinster.
You HAVE to pick a religion to practice. Evangelical Christian, Zoroastrian, Jainist or Scientologist? (and why?) Well I'm not a huge fan of organized religion, but I guess I'd be a Janist, because I like the idea of every soul being potentially divine. Either that or I'd be a scientologist, cause I totally believe in the alien stuff. Oh maybe I should be mormon.
The person you are romantically involved with announces they are getting a sex change. Would it change your feelings for them? Well, I doubt we'd hop in the sack after that... but I love Ryan because he is RYAN. Not cause he has a super performing wang. I would probably need a lot of time to adjust but I'd always love him for who he is. He's got other skillz too ifyouknowwhatimean.
Meat helmet or thigh-high golden boots with large wings attached to them? Well since Joi borrowed my meat helmet and let it rot in her cougar den, I'll have to wear my thigh-high golden boots with wings. They make my butt look big tho, believe it or not.
How many times have you been what you consider REALLY in love? Do you still love those people/that person? Well, so far 3. 1)My high school/college boyfriend, dramatic but decent 4 years of my life. Do I still love him? Not really to be honest. I mean i do in a "love thy neighbor" way but years of rudeness and petty shit comments kinda kicked him outta my 'love zone'. There is still a tiny place in my heart that remembers him fondly, or at least parts of him. 2) Ryan. Man, that guy rocks my world. he makes me laugh, he makes me feel beautiful, accomplished and brilliant, he gives me strength when I am weak. Since the day I met him, I've loved him with all that I am. 3) Ruby... I'm so in love with this kid i can't see straight. If you knew her, you would be too.
When you die, what do you think happens? Do you hope to be disappointed or somehow wrong about that? Ooooh big question. At this point in my life, the thought that gives me comfort is reincarnation. I love the idea of coming back to do it all over again. Sure some of life sucks, but reliving a great first kiss? Getting to go on your first rollercoaster again? meeting the love of your life and seeing your life play out in his (or her) eyes? feeling your baby move inside of you for the first time? oh hells yes I wanna do this again. And no, I don't wanna be wrong. Going to 'heaven' where you sit on a cloud and strum a harp with Jebus? Blah. Life baby. give me life.
Do you know your ethnic ancestry? Is that interesting or otherwise important to you? My mom is Mexican Irish, my dad is German Irish. I'm from California. hardy har har. Yes it's important in many ways, and yet disconnected from the reality of who I am today. I want my children to grow up knowing who they are, and experiencing as many cultures as possible. Besides, I just found out I can't eat beans, so I must not be a real mexican.
