What is it you love the most about fantasy based films, novels, theme parks, etc.?

Oddly, thats not my favorite genre, anymore at least. I love the idea that the average can achieve the seeming impossible. Walt created a wonderful place, and vision that can make millions happy, and it was all in his mind. We are still, to this day, able to see his vision and feel his glee.
Piers Anthony, and Ray Bradbury made me believe for a short time that the average person could achieve the impossible. Montag could memorize books, and shape the world to come. Niobe could handle the strings of fate and change lives.
Me, in my skinny 21 yr old 16 looking persona, could be walking in even myRiver Belle costume, and help someone up, or talk to a child, and they thought I was a goddess.

2.What is, for you, the most trying aspect of parenthood? The most rewarding?

Rewarding??? Oh wow... the most Trying aspect of MY parenting, is waking up every day to a child that looks just like someone I want to run over with a cement truck. Oh? that wasnt the answer you wanted? So Sorry. :P
Trying to impart to my child the golden rule.
Rewarding.... when he succeeds to show empathy to other people, esp strangers.

3.Describe your first love experience in one sentence.

Hmm... I've agonized over what this means for an hour, and gotten two second opinions....
So I assume it means "love" or "intimate" experience. One sentance?
An intricately staged production, which blatantly ignored the plot of the play, and seemingly forgot that the supporting players have a role in the production, and are NOT merely, set pieces.

4.Describe for us an ideal day.

An ideal day... with or without child?
With, no dates, no time restictions.. a huge table to do art, and time to experiment. Maybe a trip to the zoo.
Sans child... sleep in, a nice shower, crawl back into bed nude, and read, dress, then paint, or sew. No idea what would fill the middle of the day. Definately spend the early evening near the ocean.

5.How do you feel about befriending people online?

I never really gave it much thought to the unusual. I made my first online friends on a BBS back in... 92? Then in the cross stitch forum on Prodigy... then... in the rubber stamp groups on aol in 96ish, that was the first group where I ever met anyone face to face. I never truly stopped to think that it wasnt safe. I'm fine with it. I spend more time getting to know the online folk than I think I would someone I ran into in the office.
