This interview brought to you by the LJ User alphaskye, and the letter X.

1. What is the most spiritual experience you have ever experienced?

I think it was probably seeing the ghost of my mother on the Christmas day that we buried her ashes. Nothing else has ever been so real, so vivid, or so true.

2. What is the one plant you do not have in your yard that you really wish you could have?

A piece of the rosebush and the tigerlilies from the backyard of the house I grew up in.

3. What inspired you to want to help street kids the way you have in your life?

{brat}CJ started it!!{/brat} I always wanted to be a mom, but you know, the whole analysis paralysis thing kept it from happening. I saw an opportunity and grabbed it - these kids really did need some help. And I discovered that I relate really well to teenagers, which was a surprise to me.

4. If, with no ramifications, you could tell off one person who would it be?

So many choices!! Ummm....my aunt Gloria, I think. She was my second mother, growing up, and she just completely rejected me because of the homo thing. And she has made my grandparents final years kind of unhappy by keeping Steve & Lettie away from them - they would have moved to the ranch so the brothers could live out their sunset years together, but Gloria said no. I think that's just cruel.

5. Name one person in your life you would like to know better than you do right now.

hmmm....Karen & Shannon spring to mind, but really I want to know everyone better. I'm nosy that way. :D

The way it works - if you want me to interview you, leave me a comment, then post the answers in your own journal, and let people comment to you!

*laughs* I'm too busy keeping my balance with one foot on the drain-tap (stupid thing doesn't work, wont' drain unless you hold it down) to think about anything. If I had come up with it, it would be called the Driving Meme, since that's when I do most of my thinking.

Ok interview me. I'm curious to see what questions you'll ask.
Oh and big kudos to you for doing what you do with the kids. When I was 14 and an abused runaway punky gay boy, I was taken in by a gay couple who had similar ideas about parenthood and what they could do to help the world. They saved my life more times than I can count and truly helped me make my way through a confusing adult world.
I have always said that when I get established, I'm going to pay that forward.
