The Who am I Interview
By Yvette Jessen



I did not think up these questions, I borrowed them from some random internet interview.  But since you decided to click on who I am, you’re about to get a some rather weirdo questions and answers from yours truly.  Get to know me...and I dare you read all the way through this.

If you could only see one color in the world what would it be?

Probably white, because if it’s light it contains all the other colors.


What country do you live in?

Germany

 
Craziest thing you have ever done?

Move to Germany.  ;)  No seriously, I would say fly Aeroflot in 1992 from Kazan back to Moscow and live to tell about it.  That was pretty insane if you ask me.


What is your preferred method of travel?

Flying (I married a pilot.)


What obscure fact about you will people find intriguing?

That I met and married my email penpal in 1995 before the Internet was really a big deal.


What is your Favorite Ice Cream?

Chocolate chip or mocha.

 
Why are you so weird?

Ask my husband.  Teehee.

 
What languages do you speak?

English and German, with some Russian and a tiny bit of Spanish.


Which chocolate company do you like the most?

Niedereggar (Marzipan company out of Lübeck) and the Wonka candy bars my friend sent me earlier this year, so it’s a toss up between those two.


Top thing on your To Do list

Probably write, and cuddle with my husband.

 
Best story:

Hopefully, one of mine.

 
Single or taken?

Taken.

 
Where do you want to travel next?

Probably Ireland or Ontario Canada.


Do you want a man to be on your roof?

If it’s Andrew or Adam, I would not mind, otherwise, I might freak out.

 
Do you have or want any pets?

No pets, just bears.  I used to have a cat though, but after he passed on, I couldn’t find it in my heart to get anymore cats.  If I could though, I’d adopt a bunny.


What is your favorite number?

42 (Direct reference to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where 42 is the infinite answer to every question)

 
What is your favorite word?

Teehee.  Is that a word?

 
Do you ever wonder why Smurfette was the only female Smurf?

I sort of pondered that and the fact that she was created by Gargamel, so that is just too weird for me.  But, I still liked them when I was a kid and think they are pretty cute today too.

 
Do you write fan fiction?

Do fish swim?  You bet I do.  Jenni even made me my own little section here.  Wasn’t that nice of her to do that?  So, all that I can say to that is happy reading.

 
Do you follow the same religion as your parents?

Not hardly, my religious background is as colorful as a quilt.  It would take years for me to go into it, so I’ll just say I’m Unity and leave it at that.


Why did the chicken cross the road?

I think, he was trying to get away from Tess who couldn’t catch up with the turkey on Thanksgiving.

 
Do you write with correct or almost correct grammar? Why or why not?

I most certainly do.  Why?  Because the written word is a sign of one’s intelligence, and while I may seem a bit off my rocker, I would never want to write something and make people think that I’m not rowing with all my oars in the water.  Correct grammar is essential!

 
What genre of literature do you like the most?

Hard call, depends on my mood.  At times I like fantasy, other times I like romance, and sometimes I’ll even read stuff on psychology or spirituality.  I can’t narrow it down to just one, but recently I have also taken a liking to autobiographies / biographies.

 
Who is your favorite author?

Hard one there, in this universe I really like Nicole’s stuff, Jenni’s is also good, and some Charlie and the Chocolate Factory writers are also quite alright too.  As far as published writers, it shifts around.


What is your first language?

American English.


Favorite singer?

Chris de Burgh.

 
Finish the sentence: "The way you smile..."

...Makes me wish that I could hug you, Andrew.”

 
What is the funniest movie ever?

Probably a toss up between ‘Blazing Saddles’ and ‘Young Frankenstein’.

 
What is your favorite season?

Spring or Autumn, because there are no extremities there…at least not generally.

 
What is your favorite song of all time?

Probably ‘Pure Imagination’, because I never grow tired of hearing it.

 
Who’s your favorite celebrity?

John Dye, Gene Wilder, and Robert Hays (it’s a three way tie.)

 
If you were an animal, what kind would you be?

A bear of course.

 
What is your favorite comfort food?

Chocolate!


Do you believe in God?

Yes.

Care Bears, Garfield and Friends, Animaniacs, Loony Tunes, Hair Bear Bunch, anything older and most definitely not Anime.

Still married, and maybe living in Denmark.  Who knows?


What are you most proud of in your life?

My husband and my writing.
