kormanfan viola!
1. If you had to choose an alias, what would it be?
Camille. I used to plan to write a series of teen novels about a girl who was genetically enhanced and had to go on the run and became basically a super-hero named Camille. And then I found out it'd been done a million times, so I gave it up. But I liked the name.
2. Where were you on 9/11?
At home and then at work. I never watch the news in the morning, and yet that day, I turned it one. I didn't quite understand what was going on until I made it to work and everyone was telling me about it. I think I turned it on just after the second plane hit, and when I got to work, the first tower fell. My stupid boss reported it like it was 'cool.' Never stopped smiling the whole time. Idiot.
3. What is your ideal vacation?
Never been on a vacation, really. I guess Hawaii, in a hotel where each room is like a separate house. I'd want to surf and swim and hike and stuff. Maybe for about a week or two. But something really low key where I didn't feel like I *had* to be anywhere at any given time.
4. How many first cousins do you have?
5
5. How do you take your pizza?
Cheese, olives. Sometimes bacon or something.
6. If you could be fluent in any foreign language (that you are not already) what would it be?
Spanish. It'd be the most useful for where I live, I think.

I guess the SSA. Fic!

19. What is your earliest childhood memory?
Shaving my lip. I can remember leaning over the sink, holding my mother's razor. I was standing on the bathtub, looking into the mirror. Kit, the next door neighbor was behind me. I was showing him how I could shave (I don't remember why). The last thing I remember is my reflection in the glass. This may not be my earliest memory, but it's the one I remember right now.
20. If you could play any musical instrument, what would it be?
Huh, well, I play the flute, so I guess piano or guitar. I've tried both; if I practiced, I could to piano. Guitar … I can't make my fingers bend the way they are supposed to, even with three people trying to bend them into place.
