Interrogated. I mean... i n t e r v i e w e d by "Sir."

THE RULES: (because when The Guy telling you the rules is a guy who succeeded in military school, you follow his rules. Got it?)

1. Leave me a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I’ll email you five questions of my choosing.
3. You update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. They will answer these questions. If they don’t, you can legally hunt them down and destroy them by the method of your choosing.


THE QUESTIONS (and answers):

1. Paraphrasing my first question to Kat: What's a nice girl like you
doing getting involved in The Law as a profession?

HAHAHAHA! I can't determine what's funnier: (a) that you think I'm young enough to be a nice girl, or (b) that I'm actually involved in The Law.

Let's go with (b), because in all my dreams as a child, not ONE of them cast The Law as something to be pursued. It happened quite by accident... a case of "OMG I hate my major!" which coincided with the timing of the LSAT and then a freakishly lucky score... resulting in recruitment by law schools and an inability to comprehend that law school would ultimately lead me into The Law.

2. Are you originally from the Northwest or did you transplant yourself there because it's so friekin' awesome?

(B) again. I was raised in Colorado with a deep love of mountains and the outdoors, and an innate sense that the mountains and the outdoors should be mine alone. Thus, the encroachment of millions of people moving to Colorado cramped my style. So when we chose where to raise our kids, we chose a place with mountains, more water and less people than where I grew up.

3. As one of the original TequilaCon-ers (TequilaCon-ites? TequilaCon-men? Drunken Debauchers?), can you believe that it's turned into a major 'thing' that requires effort to plan annually (by 'effort', I mean 'a whiteboard and cocktails')?

Technically speaking, I wasn't one of the original Originals. I was reading the Originals at the time of the original TequilaCon in Chicago, but I did not attend. It's funny too, because I've only ever attended one TequilaCon, but I feel strangely entitled to my somewhat accepted status on the auxiliary ad-hoc TC planning committee.

As to the whiteboard phenomenon, let me be very clear that all organization and implementation of the amazing TC events is the result of Jenny and Brandon's efforts, and the efforts of many others whose super-secret identities I'm sworn to protect.*

4. Aside from the opportunity to find like-minded people that also enjoy the burn of sweet delicious liquor, what made you start blogging and what constitute your best and worst blogging experiences?

Um, you seem to labor under the misapprehension that I started blogging. Have you checked this page lately? Dude. I am the poorest excuse for a blogger that ever got called a blogger. Heh. OK, I'll tell you the way it was. I started lurking and reading blogs, started wanting to comment on what I read, and finally gave in and started my own just so I didn't look like a spam/lurker.

Best blogging experience: Connecting with articulate, bright, funny people from all over that I'd never have met otherwise.

Worst: Discovering that one of those people was a complete fraud. But, one out of thousands = pretty insignificant overall, and the great people I've found make the one bad apple completely worth it.

5. What question do you wish I had asked you and how would you have responded?

Lemme get this straight: you're supposed to ask me questions, but now I have to come up with my own? What are you, some kinda lawyer or something? Sheesh. Always with the twists and loopholes. Alright, you win. I wish you'd asked me if there's one thing I wish for, and if you had, I'd have answered, "I wish that someone with more technological knowledge and experience than I have (and by that, I would mean pretty much everyone in the world, including newborn babies) would help me figure out how to save my blog for posterity into an external hard drive, and then how to make a real blog template someday."


That's it. Thank you, Sir, may I have another?

NO, WAIT, not really. One interrogation is all I can handle. I just don't know what else to say.
