Interviewed by Karen

1. If you could be one person (living or dead) for a week, who would you be and why?
After thinking about this, I decided Mother Theresa. Why? Because I would like to experience the true, selfless love she showed for all people. I would like to know what it's like to truly be self-sacrificing, and to be content in doing so. I tend to put others first a lot, but find myself resenting the people at times. And I would like to be able to give freely and completely of myself, and honestly not expect any return.

I also have a shallow answer. Jessica Alba. Young, beautiful and sexy. Who wouldn't want to be like that?

2. If you could re-name yourself, what would your new name be and why?
I would like a name that reflects a different portion of my ancestory. I am of German descent, and my name is German in origin. The meaning of my name is peaceful, which I feel is quite accurate. But if I were to re-name myself, I would choose a name to reflect my Native American heritage. My great-great grandmother was Native American; we believe from the Cherokee tribe. The name I would choose for myself is Ayita, which means first to dance. I am not the best dancer by no means, but I love dancing. So, I feel that this would be quite descriptive of my personality.

3. Think back to your earliest memory...What is it?
I don't remember exactly how old I was, probably around 3. We had horses, and I loved them. I would always go out to the pasture, and pull up some grass and let them eat from my hand. I would walk underneath the belly of the mare. To this day, I don't think any animal has a better scent than that of the horse.

4. Make up a word and tell me what it means.
Cazust. The meaning is absolute, complete, total honesty.

5. If you could travel anywhere in the world for a month (spare no expense - you're not paying), where would you go and why? Would you take me with you? ;)
I have never traveled, so this one is hard for me to narrow down. There are so many places I would want to go see. I want to go to Paris. I want to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. I'm a romantic at heart, and after all, Paris is the city of lovers. I also want to go to Germany, and go on a tour of the various castles.

And of course I would take you with me! :)
