This was an impromptu interview carried out by a friend while we were waiting for a class.
Q: Why do you like singing?
A: I guess I've tried a lot of different things in my life. Sports, art, languages and stuff like that and though I'm okay at those things I really feel like the only thing I've ever been remotely good at. I have sisters and they all have things that they are just plain amazing at and I envy them. Music, singing specifically, has been the only thing I feel like I've been blessed with to make me stand out.
Q: Who is your hero?
Q: Do you have a favorite sister?
A: What? No! I think I get along with each sister a little bit differently but that's because we each have such...different personalities. I think I get along best with Lauren but I think that could be said about her by any one of us. She's just a little more versatile when it comes to adapting to personalities.
Q: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
A: Easy! Ireland. Preferably Galway, Ireland. I don't know if my sisters feel the same connection to our Irish heritage like I do but there has always been a... biological call, if you will, for me to that place. I think my parents think I'm a little nuts because I feel like that but I can't help it. The music, the cliffs, the simplistic beauty of the country-side and the richness of the culture are enough for me to want to visit for an extended period of time and then again and again. Sadly, I haven't made it there yet. I plan to go someday.
Q: So you have some Irish heritage, does that mean you're a real redhead?
A: I'm a real redhead at heart!!! That's all that matters! In all honesty, I am naturally a strawberry dark-blondish color. So physically, no but my spirit is as feisty and redheaded as can be! :)
Q: What is your favorite color?
A: Purple.
Q: What is your favorite feature about yourself?
A: Um, I think I'd have to say my smile. I've always felt, and maybe I'm wrong, that it's my most genuine feature. I like smiling too. I like it when I can't help but smile.
Q:What do you want to do want to do with a Bachelor's Degree in Theater Education?
A: Is this a trick question? Um, I'd like to teach. High School. I love children and I think that they are extremely intelligent and can learn and understand so much more than we give them credit for. However, I know what theater did for me as an outlet when I was in high school. I'm grateful for the chances that I had to put on a character who was nothing like me because it taught me a lot about myself. There really isn't anyway to explain it, one has to experience it to really understand what it feels like.
Q: If there is one thing from your past that you could undo what would it be?
A: I've been asked this before and I honestly don't think I did anything that I would take back. I would rather go back and do things that I didn't. Like, take more time to work on music theory and take voice lessons from someone who wouldn't compare me to other "fantastic vocalists". I would go back in time and appreciate more the beauty of all the different places that I lived.
Q: Last one: What is your biggest fear?
A: That I will go through life unloved. That I won't find someone who loves me as much as I love them. Also, I fear that my family will somehow disown me and that nothing I do will be acceptable to them. Maybe it's an irrational fear but it's real. The other fear I have is of the dark. That's a long and funny story that I can tell you another time.
So, there you go. Some really random facts about me. It was a fun little interview. It made me feel like I was a celebrity or something.
