I interview ... Heidi

And it's horribly, horribly out of date!

According to the rules I established here, five questions for Heidi follow. The American Idol question really shows how old this is. Ouch. I'll try to be more timely next time.

Name: Heidi
Location: Kenosha
Age: 27
Interview date: 4/3/07


1. What is the most satisfying thing you've done today?

Wow, today?…let’s see. Well, today bit the big one at work. To use my favorite words from Office Space, I will just say that I was working with a bunch of “no talent ass-clowns.” You know, those who put off their work until it’s a massive mountain of unattainable mess? Yeah, thanks for that, cause the boss came in and assigned ME to help fix it. HELLO FRUSTRATION! Therefore, my answer would be that the most satisfying thing I did today was when I took lunch 2 hrs late, went home and watched 24 on dvd. :) Nice.

2. Name a place you've never been, but you'd like to visit. Why?

Scotland. I’ve dreamed of traveling to Scotland ever since the first time I saw BraveHeart. I just think it’s a beautiful country, and their accent is my favorite. And who knows, maybe I’ll find my husband there! Lol. A little bonus is that my brother spent some money on a Family Heritage company, years ago. They go in-depth and research your family tree. My last name actually came from a clan of Scots that were under the protection of Robert the Bruce himself!! YESsssssssss!

You're an avid American Idol watcher. Who do you think will go all the way this season?

I LIVE AMERICAN IDOL. Not that this season is particularly amazing though. I run an American Idol Pool and I’m a participant in one that’s based in California. So yes, I’m a crazy fan. I think we’ll see Melinda and Blake in the finals. Personally, I want Blake to win. The boy is HOT!

4. If you have children someday, will you get them a sandbox for the backyard? Consider pros and cons.

What a great question. I never really thought about it. But, after weighing the pros and cons, I’d say no. I never had one growing up, and I turned out fine. I think my mom (whether true or not) convinced me that they were dirty because neighborhood cats would use them as a giant litter box.

5. Can you please compose a limerick with a theme of your choosing, and type it below?

Rat-a-ta- tat
Sally was hit in the face with a bat
Tony did it
Kill him dead
Rat-a-tat- tat

Wow – that just came to me. It truly was amazing wasn’t it? It reminds me of the REAL Mother Goose stuff. If you read her stuff now that you’re all grown up, most of it is really violent. I think the bonus feature of my limerick is that it begins with a sort of drum beat “Rat-a-tat- tat”. Later, in closing, the phrase “Rat-a-tat-tat” is used again. Is this a similar drumbeat, or the sound of a semi-automatic gun? That decision is left strictly up the reader.

I don't have kids, and never plan to, but I DO have nieces and nephews who have sandboxes. That said, I have to give a resounding NO to the sandbox. Sure, it's fun for the kids (I guess), but think about how all that sand will end up in your carpet, on your deck, in their beds, etc., etc., etc. My niece Hannah actually had a layer of sand on her scalp a couple of weeks ago (I discovered whilst combing her hair). Plus most of the time they just dump it into the lawn anyway. Little bastards.

Heidi's got it right.

I love my interview!! The time that passed since filing it out was great because I had forgotten most of that stuff!

Damn that limerick was good.

Good points about the sandbox, mystic spiral!

Amazing. I like how you leave it up to the reader to come up with their own interpretation.
