I'm doing this for her, because I'd do anything for her.

#3 - Farren's Questions:
1) What would 17 year old you say if they could see you now?
You know. I don't remember much about being seventeen. I think I was really insecure and a pot head. I wanted to fit in, even though I would have told you I didn't care. I acted in plays. I was an underachiever. My family hated me. One day, my dad took me out to lunch and told me that it was my fault that he and my mom didn't get along. My family was in the middle of a spiritual revival. They prayed for me. They thought I wanted to be a vampire because I loved The Cure and The Smiths and wore black on the outside because black is how I felt... on the inside. That must have seemed like a pretty douchey thing to say if you don't know The Smiths' song. I guess I would be happy, if I saw the grown up me. I'd be happy that somebody cared about me, that I had beautiful babies and people listened to me when I talked.
2) It's your birthday and you can eat anything you want all day with no repercussions. What's on the menu?
I don't know. I kind of eat anything I want all the time. I don't know if that means that I'm terribly indulgent or if I actually want normal things like fresh baked bread and kale. I guess I would want cake. I don't normally eat cake because it's too bad for you.
3) Name one thing that scares you.
Those weird songs from when we were young, like What if God was one of us and that Vanessa Williams song where the sun goes around the moon. They make me feel uncomfortable and weird and like I might freak out if I think about them too much. Like... how the fuck did those songs happen? Why am I forced to house them somewhere in my brain?
4) What book have you read that has changed you?
All of them.
5) What song gets you up and motivated?
This one. Iggy is the King of Rock and Roll.
6) If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?
Oh gosh, maybe I'd choose somewhere new! Somewhere warm and lonely and untouched.
7) What is your favourite app on your phone? If no smart phone, favourite website.
I only have a regular phone. I don't know what my favorite website is. Pinterest is the most fun.
8) Name a guilty pleasure.
Middle Grade Novels.
9) Which famous person would you like to meet?
I don't know. I mean, I think that meeting famous people is a weird idea. What would I say to them? They have no idea who I am and I know all this stuff about them. It makes me feel kind of creepy to think about actually speaking to a famous person I admire. Can we change the question to: Which famous person do you wish knew you and wanted to be around you? My answer is, an alive Elliott Smith.
10) Describe your hugging style in three words.
Reserved for daughters. And husband. Everybody else gets a stiff, awkward embrace from me. I'm not a hugger.

And I think it really fucking sucks that your Dad hated you. I can't believe (I DO believe - I don't WANT to) that he took you out to lunch to blame you for your parents marriage. Fucker.

ReplyDeleteSince I answered somebody else's questions, I'll answer yours here.
1. I regret one thing I said. I was trying to make light of a terrible situation and I immediately wished I could shove what I said back in my mouth. Instead I apologized for my nervousness and what I said.
2. I am. I really do love my life even when I have bad days. I've worked really hard to get to where I am. Stability may not be as interesting as a train wreck, but I enjoy it.
3. I put my cats in their carriers whenever there's a bad storm. They then get put in the bathroom in case of a tornado. I like to be prepared.
4. None. I can not think of a single musician I want to bone.
5. A few, but not a lot. Partly because I'm guarded and partly because people don't want to put in any effort.
6. 1Q84 and it's amazing.
7. Psychology and Sociology. I wouldn't recommend it.
8. Student loans and a mortgage.
9. Lately, camping or to visit relatives (although I don't count that as much of a vacation). The best vacation ever was when we went East to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and D.C. with numerous stops at Presidential Libraries and houses in between. I'm a bit of presidential history nerd.
10. Irresponsible people. The ones who don't pay bills or quit jobs and then go on vacations.
