Do you like foot massages?
A foot massage is pretty much the best thing ever. I melt when Joel rubs my feet.

Are you a furry?
I most emphatically am not.

If so (and, I suppose, if not) are you a Christian?
I most emphatically am. And I don't appreciate that snide little "I suppose" in the question.

Would you classify yourself as "liked"?
Yeah, I guess. I try to be likable, if that counts.

Are you cute?
The hubby tells me I'm cute, and that's good enough for me!

Can you draw or write?
I dabble in both of those areas. I'm more proud of my writing than my art, but I'm also more secretive about it.

Do you have exes?
Yes, two. I did the breaking up both times.

Zombies or vampires?
I really prefer vampires, but I must add the disclaimer that pretty boys like the stars of 'Twilight' are not classified as vampires in my book. Read Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot and you'll know what vampires are. Zombies are rather boring.

Do you like Twilight?
Oh GAG me. Over the summer, some of the teenage girls on a visiting mission team started oohing and aahing over those books and I nearly puked. It took a lot of willpower to keep my mouth shut.

If something catastrophic really did happen on December 21, 2012, with whom would you want to spend your last moments?
Well, this is the first rumor I've heard about something bad happening on that day. What on earth is so portentous about a day having a certain set of numbers? We created the calendar system, people, it just does what we set it up to do. Regardless, if something terrible did happen, I would be in the States with my family and my husband and so would pass the end very agreeably.

Do you sing in the shower?
Only when I'm absolutely certain that I'm the only one in the house. I'm very self-conscious about my singing.

Do you curse at a game when you die?
Nope. Mostly my mouth just hangs open in indignation for a moment, and then I shrug philosophically and try again. Cursing in anger is a weakness that I refuse to accept in myself.

Are you writing your own story/manga?
Manga. The very word annoys me, not to mention all that it represents. But anyway, by 'my own story' do you mean 'a story about myself'? I occasionally jot down a few things of an autobiographical nature, mostly when my mother bugs me about it because she thinks the story of me and my husband would make a great book, but I find it very difficult to write about myself.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Well, considering that I'm 24, married, and living in a foreign country (meaning 'not the country of my birth' ) as a missionary, I've gotta say, I think I've reached the "grown up" mark. And I'm doing exactly what I've always wanted to be doing. Hurrah!
