Interviewed!

sihaya09 posted this in her journal, and then interviewed me. I should be sleeping, or writing my paper or something useful like that, but I would much rather answer these fun questions!

Rules:
1. Leave a comment saying you want to be interviewed.
2. I'll reply and give you five questions to answer.
3. You'll update your LJ with the five questions answered.
4. You'll include this explanation.
5. You ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed. And it just keeps going, and going, and going (hopefully!).


1. What is your favorite thing to cook?
I love to make anything Italian, as evidenced by last week's lasagna, but I also enjoy making meat-oriented dishes like stir fry (which I guess is just as much veggie as meat, but nyeh) or meat loaf (which I know Chris hates). There's just something about pulling out all those dishes and food products and seasonings and just making a big mess in the kitchen and producing yummy food that brings out the domestic Heather. Kinda scary, isn't it?

2. Name three movies that you're secretly too wussy to admit you actually like.
Haha. And give myself away??? Never!
Actually, this is hard because I usually own up to the really bad movies that I love anyway. :P But. I really like Not Another Teen Movie. And it's horrible, and I hate admitting it, but I've seen it way too many times, and the sheer stupidity of it just cracks me up. And it's parody, so it's supposed to be bad. The second is slightly more embarrassing. I really shouldn't be telling you this, but I think I like Titanic. I haven't seen it in years, and I don't plan on ever seeing it again, but I don't hate it. I might even like it. And at the very least, Rose wears some awesome clothes in that movie. :P
And now I think I've embarrassed myself enough that I don't need to mention a third really bad movie that I like. :P

3. Whereabouts are you in the coping process?
I think I'm stuck somewhere between denial and anger. :P
Actually, I don't know. Some days I'm okay, I don't really think about that huge gaping hole in my life, and some days the weight of the whole situation makes it hard for me to breathe. I don't think I've found a very healthy middle ground of coping, yet. But I'm working on it.

4. What's one quality/strength you admire in yourself and one weakness you're working on?
One quality that I admire in myself is that I'm very down-to-earth, at least, I think I am. I'm pretty laid back and mellow, and for the most part it takes a lot to really phase me. This aspect at least makes the aforementioned coping thing a little easier than it might be for others. As for a weakness I'm working on, it's hard to say. There are a few that really stand out. But I suppose one is the bottling thing I do. I've been struggling with that for most of my life, and I think gradually I'm breaking myself out of my little protective bubble. It's hard for me to trust people enough to let them into my weird little world, so as I'm growing older and surrounding myself with the people I feel can trust, it's becoming a little easier for me to break out of my shell and not bottle up my emotions. If that makes sense.

5. What's with today today?
I really don't know, and I don't think I ever will. And that's probably the way it should be.
