Victim Week: Victim #3

This week is VICTIM week.

Every day this week I will be releasing a post whereby I forced asked someone to answer my inane questions of stupidity and randomness. No small animals were hurt in this process and chocolates were used at times to keep the interviewees awake/attentive..

Our third Victim is Angel of @angelsmind fame… you can read all about Angel here and here..

Angel is not only a mom, ADHD champion & deliciously tattooed wife but she is also a wedding planner extraordinaire, cat slave, drive-thru junkie as well as being the world famous cupcake maven aka The Cupcake Lady!! <– A real mouthful, né!

I have had the privilege to meet this mouthful of a lady IRL and have to say that she is as fabulous if not more so!!

Question Number One:

If you were a Star Trek® [or Star Wars® ] character, which one would it be? (and why)

Well, since the character of Princess Leia from Star Wars was originally based on me I should pick her… I was time travelling through the sixties at the time and the inspiration for her sprung from when George Lucas was visiting Jim Morrison’s house one weekend and saw me in a gold bikini, except the draping on mine was red… but right now I reckon I look a little more like Jabba the Hutt…

Question Number Two:

Why are manhole covers round?

Don’t you think the word “manhole” is a little sexist?!

Ahem.

Is it because circles are more aesthetically pleasing? They don’t have to be round, but I s’pose if the actual hole is round then the cover will have to be round… you can’t go putting a square cover on a round hole no matter how much you prefer squares.

Question Number Three:

How would you explain a database in three sentences to your eight-year-old nephew?

Erm… in all honesty my nephews may well know more than I do!

If I really had to try… I’d say it’s kinda like a chest of drawers where all the drawers have labels on and some of the drawers have drawers inside them. You have to open the main drawer to get to the drawers inside it… You can also open one drawer and remove something to put it in another drawer… though sometimes you don’t have to take it out completely to put it into another drawer…

Nuh, I can’t do it in three sentences!

Question Number Four:

If aliens landed in front of you and, in exchange for (things best not mentioned), offered you anything you desired, what would you want?

Well, if it was a once off I’d probably ask for unlimited finances… If they were willing to come back like, once a month, I’d ask for all sorts of things! My parents’ finances sorted. Houses for my siblings. A Mediterranean cruise. Straight hair at the snap of my fingers. All kinds of cake decorating tools

Question Number Five:

Tell me how many hats you have in your home?

Holy crap! Just me or my whole family? I have… one, two… seven… including beanies, bandanas and a tiara I have around twenty. If I include the knucklehead and my Glugster I’d have to say there are about forty, forty five…

Question Number Six:

What will you do if you have a time machine?

Well, in all honesty, I would go back in time to various periods twenty and thirty years ago on a regular basis and start generating awareness of ADHD as much as I possibly can so that I wouldn’t have to battle as much as I did when my son was diagnosed!

And I’d re-do my sixties trip and make sure George Lucas signs a contract to pay me movie royalties

Question Number Seven:

Do you have a dog or cat?

Indeedy! I am slave to no less than six cats and I have two dogs! My cats are (in order of age) Greebo, Taxi, Magic, Turk, Diva and Minx. My cats have their own blog and occasionally the dogs- Thelma and Louise- share it with them!

Question Number Eight:

Oh we talk all the time! My cats have particularly entertaining views on religion and politics so we usually chat about that. Thankfully they can’t embarrass me by letting other people in on their opinions since they are all indoor cats.

Talking to the dogs… well, usually I just enjoy how they suck up to me since the cats don’t do that at all.

If you were a fruit, what kind of fruit would you be? Why??

In my humble opinion, berries are the sexiest fruit. They look so inviting and sweet and they’re never quite what you’re expecting when you bite into them! I would have to be a strawberry or a cherry!

Question Number Ten:

Do you like the interviewer???

Hells bells… talk about a loaded question!

I wonder, if I say no, will she still blog my interview?

Mwaaaaaaaaaaahahahaahahaaaaaaa…

Of course I do!
