Interview #9

After a two-day break from The Random Interview Project, this one comes from Brett, who doesn't have a blog:

1. If you were to live the rest of your life in your choice of another person's shoes, who would you chose?
probably, i would choose someone who has clean feet, has good taste in footwear, and most importantly, wears the same size shoes that i do. i mean, the rest of my life may be a long time, and i have bad feet as it is, without having to wear someone else's shoes.

2. Tell us about your favourite vacation that you have taken so far:
i would have to choose any one of the four trips i have taken to hungary. i know mission trips are not really defined as vacations, but each trip was 10 times more enjoyable than any time i've ever spent frying myself on a beach.

3. What nicknames have you been called in the past and why?
i've never had any really good ones, so i decided to come up my own suggestions: mr.handsome, six-pack, master of time and space, (or MTS, for short), and maybe bubba, just because it's fun to say.

4. If the rest of your life could only be composed of one month, what month would you want it to be and why?
since i don't have a good one from my past, i'll imagine one from my future. here goes: beginning with my wedding (on an alaskan mountaintop) to the most godly and beautiful woman on the planet, (an incredibly humble and intelligent gal, yet doesn't know how beautiful she is, but thinks i am the greatest, and super handsome too), who never complains about anything ever, even when we're tent camping in a thunderstorm, in fact she actually LOVES
thunderstorms, AND camping, because she can wear a hat and stuff, which is why we take our month-long honeymoon biking around iceland, camping the whole way, except for occasionally staying in a motel, where we meet lots of
people, getting to pray for them, all while learning a bit of icelandic simply because it's strange and different and challenging.

5. Were you named after anyone? If you had been a girl, do you know what your name would have been?
my mom just thought it was cool. girl name: sunflower?

6. If you could have any animal for a pet, what would you pick and why?
my dad had a big fat python in vietnam named "moonbeam". hey, that would make a good nickname too!

7. Have you ever gambled with anything in life? If yes, tell us about it.
once, i had a layover in las vegas, and they had slot machines in the terminal! i had four quarters, and after playing two, i won like, eight bucks or something. i got back on the plane and called it good.

8. What is your favourite memory of your last year of high school?
graduation.

9. If you had the opportunity to change anything about your appearance in the blink of an eye with no surgery or adverse reactions, would you, and what would you change?
i was going to say a more prominent jaw, but that's pretty boring. so i'm going to go with six-pack. i'm not really fat, but i think one of those supermodel six-packs would be pretty cool. and a tan. alaskans of predominantly swedish heritage are known to possess the most brilliantly bright midregions. how many potentially godly and beautiful future wives
have i scared away with my big, white belly?

10. What is your favourite kind of tree?
this is not the best answer to end on. i don't even know what kinds of trees there are. the names mean nothing to me. i have no strong feelings one way or the other about them. trees shmees. my interview comes to an uncertain
reckoning, with me feeling like a bland, tepid and uninteresting fellow that doesn't even like trees.
