A little bit of ranting never hurt nobody!

 
:::the quiz:::

Here are the official rules of the interview game:

1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying "interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person's will be different.
3. You will update your journal/blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
6. I will answer reasonable follow up questions if you leave a comment.

Well, Kristi, here you go!

1. If you were to market “Tirimasoup”….what would be you’re ad scheme?
Here's the backstory on this one first:
A few years ago, my friend Jonathan and I decided to have a bunch of people over to his condo for dinner. We made homeade spaghetti and I was going to make my world-famous tirimasu recipe. Well...for some reason, that night the tirimasu never set, and became a soupy concoction instead. I was pretty disappointed, to say the least. But, my dear friends Kristi and Krista decided to try it anyway. Three bowls later apiece (yes, I said 3 bowls!) it was determined that the recipe was a complete success and that I should always mess up the recipe!
For my ad scheme, I think it would have a picture of me curled up in a fetal position, crying as people all around me are devouring multiple bowls of Tirimasoup. I slowly come out of my cocoon and realize that everyone likes it and we all start singing some cheezy disco song from the 70's, like "Fire" or "I Will Survive".

2. If you had only 1 CD to listen to for the rest of the year….what 15 songs would be on it?
This answer is merely a snapshot of today's current mood and taste. I cannot guarantee that I will feel this way about these songs even 20 minutes from now, so here goes, in no particular order:

Wedding Dress- Derek Webb
Nobody Loves Me- Derek Webb
In Perspective- Centerville World Percussion Line
Takin' A Chance On Love- Jane Monheit
The Outsider- A Perfect Circle
10,000 Miles- Mary Chapin Carpenter
Faith My Eyes- Derek Webb
Piece of Glass- Caedmon's Call
Every Season- Nichole Nordeman
I Am- Nichole Nordeman
Turtle- Alana Davis
Born- Over The Rhine
Bothered- Over The Rhine
Suitcase- Over The Rhine
Wired- Rhythm X

You have NO IDEA how hard that question was to answer...in fact, it was one of the reasons this quiz was so delayed in being posted!

3. What is the most lingering lesson/memory you took away from your Mexico mission trips?
Easy...be grateful! we are so blessed to live in this country where there is little fear of corrupt police that can take your house for no reason, where all the streets are fairly smooth to drive on, where our house sits on a foundation instead of dirt floors...and the Mexican people are so grateful for all they have, and are so willing to give of themselves when we're the ones going down there to supposedly lend a hand...heck, they're the ones helping us...making us more humble. And to see the looks in the childrens' sun-darkened faces when we just hang out with them...man, it's just amazing how wonderful a Creator we serve.

4. If you had to perform one number, karaoke style, for 15 of your closest friends/family members of your choice, what song would it be and why? (include any specific ‘flair’ you would add.)
I know what you were thinking I would put, but it would probably be "Faith My Eyes" by Derek Webb. I haven't been able to stop singing that song since I heard it for the first time.

5. Describe your dream job? (again, paint us a picture with your eloquent prose.)
I have it! I get to be creative all day long...producing, editing, filming...I am very blessed to say that...there aren't many people who can.

So there you go...after months of waiting! Heck, I have no idea if anyone even still reads this blog it's been so long!

Peace out, yo.
