1. What three traits define you?
I have no idea.

Home

Beaches, but I love both. I love the water. I like the sound of the surf, the vastness, and I love to swim.

Computer technology.
12. You’re hosting a dinner party. Who are the 3 people, from present or past, who you would invite and why?
I'm going to assume you mean famous people: Toni Morrison, Tennessee Williams, and Diane Arbus. All three are so talented and seem to have a similar dicatomy: Both eccentric and utterly authentic. All were so brave in the art they created as well. I can't even imagine how great the conversation would be.

That's a REALLY hard question. So I'm going to give a shout out to Sojourner Truth. I can't ever imagine such bravery and selflessness.
18. What is your greatest fear?
It's too grim to say.
19. Tell us something that might surprise us about you.
