Biddle Interview

For me, this little interesting chain started on my friend Biddle's Blog. I asked him for my five questions. My answers are below. Feel free to keep this going. It it rather enjoyable!

Rules are as follows: You comment on this entry requesting an interview. I respond with five questions. The questions will theoretically be tailored to you based on what I know of you (or want to know). You copy and paste those questions into your own journal, and write the answers, along with these rules. Anyone wanting an interview from you continues the game by requesting an interview from you.


5 questions for you (these were asked by my dear old friend Biddle)...

1.) Tell me about the best day that you can remember. The sort of day where you actually thought to yourself, "This is a very good day." What made it special?

Lots of days come to mind, and oddly enough most surround a car trip of some sort. Not sure what that says about me. But one of the best days was in high school. It was right before my 16th birthday in August of 93. My friend Leigh came in her car, picked me up (she had just turned 16 in June) and we drove down to the Electric Lady Land on Bardstown road. She bought me this cool ass hippie shirt with this crazy design and HUGH triangle shaped sleeves. I loved it (may even still have it somewhere). And I just remember riding home on the Watterson Expressway, smoking cigarettes and listening to Lynard Skynard (Gimmie Three Steps comes to mind). The sun was shining and it was just a feeling of freedom and growing up. Leigh and I had known each other since we were 6. Here we were set free in Louisville and we were almost juniors, school was about to start, but it was still that wonderful summer time and I had a brand new hippie shirt that I loved.

2.) Describe for me the child that you would eventually want in your future. (If you don't want a child, you can describe a pet that you would want or a nice piece of furniture.)

My future child... hmmm it's hard to even imagine what they would be like. But in my minds eye, I see a little boy (who I would name Aedan or Declan if Ben was out of the room when that time came) with black hair and blue eyes like Ben. I imagine given our hair, he would have very curly hair. I see him being very very smart, which would be a blessing for him, but a curse for me... There is nothing worse then a small child who knows too much for their own smart ass good. And any child of Ben and I would be an extreme smart ass... I dread that day. I pray he loves to read as much as I do, and I would LOVE the irony if he hated video games... I would let him play what ever sport he wanted, but would secretly love it if he played soccer so I could share my love of Manchester United with him. I would want him to be best friends with Bebop as there is no better dog in this world. He will go to Catholic school and look so precious in the little uniform. I hope that he will have Ben's ability to draw and create and my love of theatre. I pray he doesn't develop his father's love of guns and knives... and most of all that he's a bit of a mommy's boy, even if only at home when no one can see.

3.) What was the worst job you ever had?

So many to choose from... but I'll go with working at the Dairy Mart on 22 in front of Orchard Grass (I think that was the name of the subdivision?). (Worked there before my senior year of HS and some into that year.) I had to open at 5 am on Saturdays and Sundays. It was kinda out in BFE, so my Dad, who didn't like me going in by myself, would get up and go with me (which I enjoyed he helped me put the papers together and we chatted). It was just one of those jobs that remind you why you studied in high school- so you could go to college. The hours were long and the customers were kinda crazy. I was always a little afraid of getting robbed and my manger was a complete idiot. Mostly I just smoked cigarettes and bought scratch off lotto tickets...

4.) In another dimension, you're an internationally known celebrity. Tell me about who that person is and why she's famous.

I know I could have said I found the cure for AIDS or became the first female president. But I went with the answers that first came to mind... so this was it, as silly, geeky, and trashy as it is.

I would be a huge hit on television and movies as an amazing screen writer and director. Maybe for making Firefly a huge hit the second time around, with the blessing of Joss. I would have studied my craft under the likes of Joss Whedon and Russell T Davis. I would write and direct the amazing screenplay that joins Batman (Christian Bale version) and Superman (Brandon Routh version) into a kick ass movie that takes the world by storm. I would be in talks to bring back the Justice Leauge (cause I do love Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern) in film form as well. I would also write a few romantic dramdies that would be hits in the smaller venues like Sundance (see I'm not completely shallow...  I would use my power for good and support such charities as Equality Now, AIDS research and Vietnam Veterans issues. I would give a cool face to the world of geeks. I would be talked about as the person who made it cool for girls to read comic books and go to cons.

5.) Tell me one thing that you're right about and everyone else is wrong about.

Now there's a loaded question...

On a day to day life level: That I'm not really ready to have children yet.
That turning on the fan, from your Heating and Air system, when the windows are open does help cool the house.
I can fill my 30 GB IPod with the CD's I currently own.

On a superficial level: I told you that Lois' kid was Superman's.

On a larger scale: The founding fathers did not create our country to be Baptist or fundamentalist run. They were Deists. VERY different thing.


Now if you'd like me to interview you, comment on this post. Make sure you send me a link to your answers. keep in mind your questions will not be the same as mine above... they will based on what i want to ask about you... go on it's fun... you know you want to!

I've been around here for a little while now... and I've never seen the SN boards in such angst as the past few days. I mean Heart has just torn us up in all kinda of ways... What a powerful episode to create this kind of reaction. I just wonder if Kripke and Gang had any idea it would be likes this? :)

As long as we keep it fair and repectful it should be fun to see where we all come out of this when we're done!

1. my name is: Brandy

Okay so someone got me... So I ask anyone who wants to answer so they don't call this spamming and block the lot of us!...

Seven things you don't know about me (that are remotely interesting :P)

1: The only things I love more then the Beatles are God and my family...

2: I was engaged at 17 to a boy I met in DC and only knew for a week (long story, I'll tell if someone asks). I didn't marry him, but I still miss him.

3: I own over 300 books and read approximately 80-100 pages an hour.

4: I would move to England if I could get a work visa.

5: I went to college for theatre, and now work in banking.

6: I name every car I've ever owned, and they are always boys for some reason.

7: I have a brown belt in Shotokan Karate.

Warming this is kinda heavy and has been weight on me for a while...

I don’t know why my mind has wondered where it has for the past few days, maybe too much Winchester Angst (if you were cool and watched Supernatural you would get that). But all the Winchester Angst got us discussing souls and deals with the devil and fathers and children. And it reminded me of the first time I ever really knew that the devil was real. Concrete and very real.

My dad died when I was 18, 11 years ago come this March. I was home for spring break my freshman year of college. It was sudden, and even all these years later I can’t decide if that was better or worse than loosing my Grandma slowly two years later. I never really got to say goodbye either way.
 
I loved my dad with all the heart a daughter has for her father. And maybe a bit more because unlike the man who gave me life, my daddy chose to love me, to raise me, to protect me. He was, in many ways, my everything.

After he died, I was so lost, still am to some extent. I don’t think a week goes by that I don’t wish out loud just to have my Dad back. But right after, when the pain was so real that I could I have cut off my own hand and never noticed, I dreamt of my dad. The kind of dreams that you know are more than just a dream.
 
Both dreams happened the same night. I was home for the summer that same year, sleeping in the same bed I had since before high school. The first dream had me “waking up” and going down the hall to our living room. And there he was sitting on his end of the couch smoking a cigarette as he always did. My mind knows he’s gone, but there he is. I run back down the hall to my parent’s room to tell my mom, and there he is again, on his side of the bed like everything is normal and maybe the past 3 months of my life have been the dream, and this… this is real.

But it flashes and suddenly I’m in my kitchen with mom, like a lot of afternoons in high school. She’s going through the mail; I’m just shooting the sh%t The front door opens and in comes my dad, as he did countless of days in my life. He’s in his suit and tie, he’s got his briefcase in his hand. My mom doesn’t even look up, but me, I know this is Dad, and I know he’s dead, but he’s here again. I beg him to stay, I tell him I love him and please, Please stay. He looks at me with such pity and such love. He says he wishes he could but he can’t. That he loves me and then he’s gone. He’s freaking gone. And I’m awake.

Wide freaking awake, because that was too real to be anything but him. It’s a feeling in my gut, which to this day, remains. And I know the feeling, the desperation of the begging, the needing for my Dad, because its still here, just a little quieter now. But that night, after I took some time to calm down, I fell back asleep.

This time the dream was unlike any I’ve ever had before or since. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It was completely black. No visuals at all, nothing save a voice telling me that he could give me back my dad for one day, but I would have to trade all my other memories of him for it. I can still feel the weight of that choice on me. Would it be worth it? And at the time, I would have traded my soul for my dad, and looking back perhaps that’s what I could have done. But before I could speak, before I could say yes, because I know I would have said yes. I woke up… again wide freaking awake and now I’m scared, because I’m not stupid and I know what just happened. I’m not going back to sleep because the devil just offered me a trade. The devil just tempted me with something I didn’t have the power to say no to. The devil’s real and his ruthless. But God, who I’m still angry with over taking my dad in the first place, God showed me His Mercy and His Love because he woke me up. He couldn’t take away my free will, but he could break the deal before it was struck.

Stumbled upon this tonight... (I wish some one would explain how live journal works to me)

But this gang at:

http://community.livejournal.com/spn_postcards

is working on sending postcards to the cast and crew up in Vancouver.

Supernatural Cast & Crew c/o
Supernatural Films, Inc
8085 Glenwood Drive
Burnaby, BC
V3N 5C8
Canada

They just want us to send our love and thanks to them for all their hard work... So that they know that people are watching and people do care.

If you want, and you're in the US, you can go to usps.com/netpost and create your own post cards (upload photos if you want) and the post office will print and mail them directly... so you could do all kinds cool things and send them on to the boys...

and lets just be honest, if people campaigned for presidents the way we do for this show, our political system would be totally different!

Eric Kripke, creator of Supernatural, has an AWESOME interview with TV Guide
