Childhood ambition: I wanted to be a teacher. Fondest Memory: I guess the "correct" answer would be my wedding day, right? But well, my most -recent- fondest memory was when I was on the set of "Third Watch" for the filming of it's Series Finale. How the cast and crew called me by name. How I got the -greatest- autographed script from all of them. And how I felt like I was leaving summer camp for the last time (despite the fact that it was -really- cold out ). I wasn't your average every day fan, and they did a lot to make sure I knew that. The perfect soundtrack to your life: Uhm... I have no clue. The theme of Jeopardy? Desired retreat: Cruise, baby. I want to go on a cruise so bad it's not even funny. Wildest dream: to pay off my house and be able to live in the style in which I've become accustomed to without the bills that come along with it. Pretty wild dream isn't it? Proudest moment: Gathering up the nerve to e-mail an executive producer who had given me his e-mail address.. and actually getting a positive response from it Biggest challenge: I'm still living it - trying to make it as a freelance graphic artist. Perfect day: Sleeping in under a comfy comforter on nice, smooth sheets. Waking up late to a perfect day - sunny and about 85 degrees. Stretching my arms over my head and walking to my back yard, where my inground pool and spa are and taking a nice, long swim. First job: I was a counselor at a summer day camp. Indulgences: Good sushi. Good ice cream. DVDs. Last big purchase: Oh wow. Probably my car. All time favorite movie: The Princess Bride Inspiration: My Mom My life is: Overall okay... but would be better if we were... you know.. actually making money. My life partner should be: My best friend. Which he is I want to be remembered for: The best fangirl -ever-. Okay. Maybe not. I want to be remembered as someone who lived her life well, and had a caring for those around them.

Childhood ambition:
My favorite movie of all time would have to be SCARFACE. It was the first movie I ever saw in a theater, I was all of maybe 6 at the time. I don't know if you are into video games but I heard on NPR that a new game based on Scarface is coming out. The guy being interviewed also talked about Grand Theft Auto. I was surprised that it was the biggest selling video game ever. He said it was actually pretty much based on Scarface, too. Universal Pictures, who made Scarface, didn't care about copyright stuff and GTA makers aren't worried about the new Scarface video, either. I don't know much about video games, but I think they were saying GTA was the first of the RPGs. Is that right? I think you can hear a lot of stuff on NPR by going to their archives--at least that's true for their interviews on Fresh Air, where Terry Gross interviewed Shawn Ryan last month.
