geekchickCurse you, some of these are *hard*! ;)
1. Are there deeper underlying comforts or motivations of yours that kawai-things (cutesy stuff like Sanrio items) addresses?
Oh dear, I have no idea. Maybe it's just being in denial about the fact that I'm not a kid anymore? That seems too easy to be the real answer though, so I'll stick with "I really don't know".
2. In what thing(s) about yourself do you take the most pride?
Having a boss' boss one time give me an assignment in an area that I had absolutely no experience with while saying "Cathy's smart, she'll figure it out". I think that generally I can pick things up relatively quickly (especially if it's a topic I'm interested in), and I can teach myself.
3. What would *your* dream house be like?
I have a couple, depending on my mood. Sometimes I want a big Victorian with a wrap-around porch and wood floors and working fireplaces in the bedrooms and living areas (yet modern plumbing and wiring, of course), set up on a wooded hill, with room for lots of people I love to live with me and all of us have our own space. Other times I want a Craftsman-style bungalow in an older neighborhood, again with wood floors and a fireplace and lots of period decoration. Those are about the right size for just me, I think, and my sweeties can have the ones next door. =)
4. What are you most afraid that I'd ask you, and why?
In this interview, or in general? =) In general, I suppose if I'm thinking of something that's within the realm of possibility (i.e. nothing involving Utah ;) ), I think it would be asking me to move to California. If you did that, then I'd have to make a bunch of scary decisions. As far as this specific exercise, I wasn't really afraid of anything you'd ask.
5. What are your feelings about parenthood?
Kind of like organized religion. =) Not for me, but I don't have a problem with it for most other people. I have occasional urges to be a mother but I think I know myself well enough to know that parenthood really is not for me at this point. I have just about enough patience and tolerance to take care of my cat, and I'm generally awkward around kids. I keep hearing "it's different when it's your own", but I'm not likely to put a whole lot of faith in that theory -- what happens if it's *not* different for me? I don't mind being an aunt, that's about as close to parenthood as I think I'm likely to get. I may change my mind someday, I've done it before on this topic, but not anytime real soon I think.
