An Interview With…YOU!

I’ve been writing a ton lately as many deadlines have conspired at once. If my keyboard were a car there’d be smoke spewing from my fingers. Better busy than bored though, right?

One of the projects in the home stretch is a new website that required a bio page. You know what those things always look like, often written in third person with a leading statement about how the author hates writing in third person.

Clay Morgan is a writer who once started a grease fire while cooking Steakums in the early 90s. Clay was once punched while wearing a goalie mask. It didn’t even hurt…

Yeah, I had to do something like that, but I figured most people won’t read the thing. In fact, I think we are more fascinated about the little things. Those nuggets are what truly paint a picture of who we are.

So I started naming my favorite things and thought of you, dear reader. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens didn’t make my list but perhaps they’d make yours. No, I have nothing against whiskers or kittens, but we’re talking about the top of the heap here.

So I decided to interview you, yes you, by throwing out a couple of the categories from my list (and a few that I just made up). Also, a quick nod to Pulp Fiction as I’ve borrowed a couple questions from a deleted scene in which Mia (Uma Thurman) interviews Vincent (John Travolta).

Here’s the short interview with my answers, but I want to hear yours more! Use the comment section to show me a little something about yourself.

1. Favorite movie ever: Braveheart

2. Elvis or The Beatles?* Elvis

3. What’s your favorite food? Chinese

4. In conversation do you listen or wait to talk? Mostly listen I think, but not always.

5. If you could hang out with one person from American history who would it be? Alexander Hamilton

6. Who’s your favorite writer? Dave Barry

7. Favorite cartoon ever: Scooby-Doo

8. What’s your favorite way to say thanks in a foreign language? Gracias

9. I probably know way too much about: ways to not be successful.

10. Do you have a website? Link please (or tell us to just click on your name). If you don’t have a site of your own, give us a good one to check out!

*Quoth the Uma: “Beatles people can like Elvis, and Elvis people can like Beatles, but nobody can like them both equally.”

Tell me a few of your favorite things below!

[UPDATE! Just a quick not of apology to those affected by the recent snag that sent some comments to spam. I’ve fixed that and will keep my eyes peeled for anymore foul ups.]
