Rules: Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me.” I will respond by asking you five personal questions (so make sure you give me an email if you're not sure I have it!) so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate! You then update your blog with the answers to the questions (if you don't have a blog, you can leave them in the comments, or email them to me). You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

I got these questions from a lovely anonymous friend:

1. What is the thing you want most out of a relationship?

Oh my. What a frightening question to be asked right now... what I want most right now is the ability to be completely me, and to be respected and treated like a rational, intellectual individual. I want us to inspire each other with each day that passes, and not feel pressure to conform to any sort of societal expectations of what a "relationship" is supposed to be, or what "steps" we're supposed to take based on the length of said relationship. That would do for now.

2. Do you feel like your "blogging"/writing personality is different from your "real" one?

Lately - yes. And I say this because I feel that in my day to day interactions I've lost a lot of my conviction and resolve, as well as my confidence in the validity of my ideas. My writing is more romantic, less pragmatic, more reflective and more calculated. But - maybe my readers can provide more insight. Is my blogging personality different from me in real life?

3. What is your least favorite part about running?

The idea that it at any point should become a chore. The point of running is freedom, ownership, escape, peace. Having been without it for a week, what I miss most is the feeling of forward movement and the synchronicity of my entire body, the muscles, mind, lungs. It's easy to get caught up in the pain and the time commitment and resent it - and that compromises the strength and beauty of the run itself.

4. What do you want to be when you grow up?

A mother, a lover, a wife, a writer, a dreamer, an inspiration. Is that cheesy? Well, I don't care. :p

5. If you could choose only one reality show to watch for the rest of your life, which would it be?

No way... anonymous friend... are you really making me choose?! I would have to say... What Not to Wear. Because it is truly inspirational. ;)
