Since I don’t know who 3/4 of my readers are, I don’t know if you have blogs … Chels I know you do and I’m very happy … but if anyone else does, and you want me to email you 5 interview questions that I want to know about you to put in your own blog/Facebook then by all means … my email address is in here.

From The Quack to me:

1. What is YOUR favourite thing about Vancouver?

- Vancouver has brought chaos, hope, clarity, enlightenment, and growth to my life that I probably wouldn’t have experienced if I were to have stayed back home. This place has surprised and amazed me in more ways than I would have imagined. It’s one thing to come here as a tourist, it’s easy to fall in love with Vancouver, but since living here, I’ve found it’s taking me longer to fall in love with Vancouver at its core. Superficially though, I’m here for the ocean and the mountains … oh, and the skiing.

2. Do you think you would ever move back to Ottawa?  What would it take to convince you?

- No, I don’t think so. I feel I owe it to myself to give Vancouver at least the next half of my life from this point. If I ever leave Vancouver before that, I’d go somewhere else. By that point I guess I would have submitted to the notion that perhaps I am a true rolling stone, in which case, I’ve gathered moss back in Ottawa. Next destination would be onward, never backward. To get me back there would have to be a pretty convincing argument … like Christian Bale being my neighbour.

3. What do you miss most about Ottawa (as a city – not family & friends)?

- I miss how clean Ottawa is. I miss feeling 100% of each season – rainy, warm springs; stifling hot summers; the incredible smell and colour of fall; and the snowy, cold winters. I miss Ottawa’s friendliness and how much emotionally warmer it seems. It’s also the place where I spent the first thirty years of my life … so we have history together, Ottawa and I; it knows a lot of my secrets.

4. If you could have coffee with one historical figure, dead or alive, who would it be?

- This could be a different answer 5 hours from now … I think I’d like to have a coffee with Puccini. But in this case, I figure we’d be having a cappuccino.

5. Just for fun: Who do you love more? Otis or Marshall? You MUST pick one! (Okay, you don’t REALLY have to )

- I love each of them with 100% of my heart. So, 100% for Otis and 100% for Marshall. They are two separate entities. However, if you were to ask me who’s breath I can tolerate more, I’d say Otis. Marshall’s gives me the shivers.

I’ve been noticing a little more activity on my blog over the last month or so and I really, really want to know who you are, what your story is, how you got here, and anything relevant or irrelevant – including the present weather conditions outside your window. Chances are though, the things that you find irrelevant about yourself are things that I will think are fantastic. It’s just how I roll.

There is a comment box below. You can “Signed, Anonymous” anything you want. Or, maybe even sign it with a celebrity from the 80s. Like, Molly Ringwald or Anthony Michael Hall, for example. Foreign languages are acceptable as well as long as they appear in the list at Babelfish so I can decipher them for swear words, random gift offers, time shares, sexual innuendos, predictions for the future, and/or proposals.
