Jessicarrot Interview
The Jessicarrot Interview. Enjoy.
In the extended...
Is it a humbling experience to know you might have been outwitted
by a nine-year old playing board games?
Not as humbling as it is when I'm outwitted by my three year old. Not so
much outwitted maybe, as completely suckered. I mean, how does he know to
make that face with his head to one side, eyes smiling in little crescent
slits and that devious little smile...its not like he practices in the
mirror, or does he?
But seriously, no it really doesn't humble me to be outwitted by a nine year
old, especially when the nine year old is my nephew. I love to see how kids
think. Its fascinating.
I know you're LDS. How are your day to day interactions with
others seeing as how you live by very strict moral rules?
I don't think my day to day interactions with other people are affected at
all by living "strict" moral rules. Basically, I decline coffee or tea when
its offered and I never really get invited to social events where alcohol is
served. I have to say, I honestly have never thought about it. Thats
interesting, I wonder if my non-LDS friends do? There now I've answered a
question with a question.
I've somehow gotten the impression that your husband is the same
age as you, and the two of you graduated college together. Did he
ever do his mission, or did the two of you get married before he had
to go?
My husband is 4 years older than me. He served his mission in North Dakota.
So we went to college at the same time... He started a year before me but
took a semester off Junior year to woo me. :) So when we got married we
both had 2 years of school left...fun times.
I know you have two children. I find it hard to believe that I
have no idea if they are boys, girls or one of each. Which is it?
I have one son, the wily 3 year old and a daughter who is 1 1/2 and so cute
I sometimes can't stop smiling. I don't use their names because...I just
don't know. I guess because I'm such a celebrity, I want them to have a
normal life. Ha ha ha ha haaaa!
Will you ever post your paintings on your blog?
If I ever paint something worthwhile, maybe. I don't think my blog is about
paintings, but if anyone else has some artwork they want to share I'll put
it up...
And, how is the piano coming along (i.e. Do you ever plan to take
it back up)?
The piano...so many memories. I don't have a piano right now, but I'd love
to get one. For some reason I still associate the piano with stress and
humiliation though. (I used to accompany my church when I was a teenager
and I was a horrible pianist. Seriously, there would be whole lines sung a
cappella and wrong chords and complete disregard of rests...EVERY time I
played. Humiliating.) I have a future sister in law who is a musical
genius and makes me wish I could play...but right now I don't really have
the time.
Have you ever regretted blogging about something?
Yes and no. I regret when I say things that are proven wrong or that are
just flat out stupid. But then I think its good for me to be humbled
constantly. More than 9 year olds who can outwit me, it humbles me when I
realize just how little I know. I think I started out thinking I had
something important to contribute and I've since realized that I have a
whole lot to learn before I can get to that point.
Do you ever get tired of reading your own thoughts?
Why because I'm the only one who does? Just kidding. You know, I don't
know how this will come off, but I don't. Occasionally I cringe at the
things I've put down, but a lot of times its interesting to go back and see
what I thought and why things brought out whatever emotion...is that too
vague?
Who should be president after W?
Michelle Malkin or the GOVENATOR, or maybe they should run together...
What's your favorite book? Movie? Musical talent?
My favorite book...hard question. Well, one of them has to be "A Suitable
Boy" by Vikram Seth. I always say my favorite movie is Before the Rain,
but I haven't seen it in years, so at the moment my favorite movie is...
Shallow Hal? And when I say at the moment, I mean at this very moment.
I need a good laugh and Jack Black is hilarious!
My favorite musical talent...the ability to effortlessly sing in harmony...I
wish I could.
When will you admit that Moore didn't lie? ;)
Very funny. I'll admit he didn't lie as soon as they change the definition
of "lie" from :
1. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood.
2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.
to:
1. A true statement that is actually factual.
2. Something that is explicitly clear and trustworthy.
