Interview meme: my interview by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fallen_arazil, which was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
001. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
002. I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal.
003. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
004. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
005. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
1) You're a mother who writes slash. Do you think this has made you more open-minded as a parent?
Writing slash is a more recent thing so no effect. Liking slash, now that's a chicken-and-egg thing. Do I like slash because I'm open-minded, or am I open-minded because I like slash? Don't know.
2) What genre/style/perspective do you find most difficult as a writer?
Description of what things look like is very, very hard. The biggest benefit of fanfic for me is that you know what House and Wilson look like so I don't have to tell you. Expressions are also hard to describe. Everyone always smiles, smirks, shrugs, and sighs in my fics because damn it, I don't know how to say what those gorgeous faces are that House and Wilson make.
3) What was the childhood dream you that you think had the most impact on your adult life?
I wanted to be an executive for a large corporation. I'm serious. Isn't that the most boring childhood dream ever? But it shaped how I thought about education, and what I studied in college (Asian Studies, because Japan was so the business place to be), and the field I got into after college (consulting - only I wasn't specific enough and ended up in health policy consulting - nothing much to do with business at all). Now I'm in management for a large corporation and it's okay. Not that fulfilling, but OK.
I still want to be an executive (importance, and fast pace, and perks). But I don't want to do executive work.
4) Aside from family (including pets) or your job, what is the most important thing in your life?
Can I confess? Really confess that for the last almost-four months it's been House/Wilson fandom? That's sad, isn't it?
5) Aaaaaand, the easy question ... sweet or sour?
So easy: Sweet, sweet, sweet. Any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

No need to be sorry for me finding the questions difficult - that was me, not you.
XOXO
