I signed up for Neil's Great Interview Experiment, and Heather was my subject. Take it away Heather....
A little intro about me first-- My name is Heather, I'm 25, I live
in Indianapolis and my fiance & I are getting married in January.
Things are a bit crazy around our house-- planning for a wedding,
getting married in 2 months, I'm a full time Radiology student with a
focus in Infant Nuclear Medicine, studying for my first round of state
boards, and of course I'm working full time. I blog at
www.singingwithmyheart.com Anyways, here are my answers to your questions.
1 What are the best and worst things about you?
--
Hmm, the best things about me? I'm kind, caring, compassionate and I
am fiercely loyal until the very end, almost to a fault. The worst
things about me? I am ridiculously over-sensitive, I take things too
seriously, and I can be entirely too trusting at times.
2 What natural talent or trait would you like to be gifted with?
-- While I am artistic by nature, I would love the ability to draw or paint. It's always fascinated me.
3 What is one event in the future whose outcome you would like to know now?
--
I would never want to know the future. Ever. I can tell you that if I
had known at age 16 what my life would have entailed from ages 18-21, I
can say honestly that I probably would have ended my life at 16 and
wouldn't have wanted to live through the horror of what I lived
through. Now, however, I am glad that I made it through those rough
years, because I have come out much stronger now, and have used that
strength more recently to speak out against domestic violence, sexual
abuse, and sexual assault. That being said, even now, I still wouldn't
want to know what is going to happen in the future. I
enjoy living in the now.
4 What would you like to hear God say when you arrive in Heaven?
-- Welcome home.
5 If you could be the spokesperson for any product on the market, which product would you endorse wholeheartedly?
--
This was a tough one for me because I don't really do the whole
"review" thing that well-- I hate being in people's faces about stuff,
but.. I'd have to say Clinique's 3 step skin care. Everywhere I go,
people tell me I have fantastic skin-- I have good skin because I take
care of it with Clinique's 3 step skin care, and have since I was 11
years old. It's the one product that I use on a regular basis that I
can honestly say is worth the money, and that I will shell out the cash
for, hands down.
6 When you're having a bad day what's the best thing you can do to cheer yourself up?
--
Play the piano or take my dogs for a walk. That's a tie. I love my
fiance, but playing the piano gives me a release like you wouldn't
believe, and walking my dogs allows me to see beauty in places I never
thought possible.
7 If you could
swallow a pill that would stop anything of your choice from ever
happening again what would the pill permanently end?
--
This is a tricky question for me because I take 17 pills a day anyways,
so the thought of taking ONE MORE PILL is quite daunting. That being
said, if I could swallow a pill, and end all of the different abuse in
the world, I would.
8 What is the best hundred (or so) bucks you've ever spent in your life?
--
See question 5 ha ha ha ha. Although, a little bit goes a long way
with that stuff, so luckily, I only have to shell it out twice a year--
usually Christmas and my birthday :)
9 What is something you really enjoy doing that is a chore or a bore for many people?
-- I absolutely LOVE to iron. Set me up with an ironing board, iron and the TV and I am a HAPPY girl!
10 What sound or noise do you love?
--
I'm going to cheat and list all of my favorite sounds. Bells from
midnight Mass at Christmas, a babys laugh, leaves crunching, christmas
music, birds chirping in spring, the silence of snowfall in the dead of
night, a full choir singing, and last but certainly not
least music--any and all kinds.
