thx to verybadlady

1. How would you briefly describe your home living environment growing up? IE, what your parents did, what social class you lived in, etc.

For most of my childhood my dad was an offshore welder and chronically unemployed. My mother started as a janitor, moved to being a college student, and finally got her masters and became a speech pathologist. Just after she started making actual dough, my dad broke a bunch of ribs and hasn't really been able to weld since... We were pretty fucking poor throughout my childhood, got all our clothes through charity and Wal-Mart, ten dollars a month allowance, free school lunches.

2. At what age did reading become such a passion for you and why? (for me it was lack of kids around to play with...or I guess lack of kids that wanted to play with me)

It was partly that, but I started reading when I was 3 or so, and I dove straight in. I have an infamous picture at home of me after literally divesting a bookshelf of all its books. I'm curled up in a pile, asleep. I have no memory of this :). Books were just so much more interesting than reality. I read a lot of comics, too, till 1988 when my dad stopped collecting.

3. Do felons need love too?! :)
Maybe...
Just maybe...
Naughty boys need love too.

4. If you had to open a company, what business would you do?

Either a bookstore or a movie theater. Something with a cafe selling fresh-baked goods, at least.

5. List your top five all-time favorite tv shows.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Angel
Seinfeld
Friends
The Wonder Years

They totally panned Ms. Fox on the "I love the 80s Strike Back" show the other night. It was awesome.
