Kat agreed to interview me. Answers follow. First, the rules again:

THE RULES:
1. leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2. i will respond; i'll ask you five questions.
3. you'll update your website with my five questions, and your five answers.
4. you'll include this explanation.
5. you'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

Now, on with the show.

1. Now that your alma mater has been voted the top party school in the country, what is the wildest college party that you went to and did you do anything illegal?
Sadly, I was at Colorado during the "dead years" of the early 90s. No riots, no Girls Gone Wild. Parties of that age resembled cocktail parties, except there was usually a keg of microbrew and a huge bong. I was so square I think I can count the parties I went to on one hand.

There was a pajama party my (second) senior year -- 50 people crowded into a split level ranchero pogoing to the strains of some 80s dance song. I thought the floor was going to give way.

2. What is your favorite radio station and why?
I barely listen to the radio anymore. When I do, it's either NPR or Mariners games. Only local music station I listen to is KEXP, because it's non-commercial.

3. How old were you when you realized that Tulsa was not the center or the universe? What were the circumstances?
Summer before I turned 10. Stayed with my aunt and uncle in Colorado while attending these classes for gifted kids at the U of Denver. It was so much... bigger, more cultured than Tulsa. Shortly after this the Oil Bust hit; Tulsa went from being white collar to blue collar in ten years. I don't think I can get a job in Tulsa right now with my skills.

4. Why did you move to Seattle? If you had to do it over again, would you have moved here?
I was chasing a girl. Didn't pan out, but I stayed anyway. And I'd do it again even if there were no girl involved.

5. If you had to choose a single country (besides the United States) to live in and never leave until your dying day, what country would it be and why?
Either the UK or Italy. The melancholiness of England fascinates me. Italy, well, it's Italy. Give me another 50 years and I might just learn the language. :)

  1. figuring you'll live to 80 you'd be stuck in italy for 50 years. wow. that would hurt. :)
