From [livejournal.com profile] barty The Interview MeMe

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 journal 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.


1. What is your favorite smell?
Coty Wild Musk
Perhaps it is more nostalgic than favorite now. But still. It makes me smile a warm smile.

2. What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?
I'm really trying to think here, and I keep giggling... I'm sure that's not what you mean...
You say beauty rather than Beauty, so I will follow your lead, and state the most beautifyl sight...
The look the comes into peoples eyes when they realise what empathy actually means. That is beautiful. That is where one can see the innocence, the purity of someone, as well as feel it. When they realise they are not as alone, not so isolated, not so lacking in understanding as they believed or feared.
Some art has moved me to tears for its sheer beauty, or intensity. But that is more Beauty than beauty.

3. How would you spend your ideal Sunday?
Writing, but now there seems to be a villa on a hill-top, and a view, and somewhere nearby, just in earshot, are the people I love. But yes, there would have to be writing for it to be ideal. Even if, yes, even that, there would still be time to write. But besutiful things, people, places, too.

4. What have you learned today?
That I am very lucky. That some people really are petty, and have priorities that seem strange to me. That I should not eat so much sugar in one go when I have not had sugar for a long time. That I thrive in a crisis. That I have not seen my friends enough this week, and being away from them hurts. That trust is not so hard to win when one focusses on achieving selflessly.

5. What question would you have most liked me to have asked you?
Why do you write
There could be others. Many others. But I am consumed with writing right now. Perhaps forever. But I should also have liked for you to ask me that which you would most like to know.
