tkarrde98. Yes, indeed, it's the second interview thing, so:
1) Why did you pick the trombone? Was it your first choice? What else did you consider?
No other real choice. I just kinda went in, and they said, "Hmm, you have long arms. Why not play trombone?" I was okay with that. My older sister played trumpet, so I might have considered that for a moment, but generally, I just accepted the recommendation. Now that I've played trombone for a while, I won't trade it away, but there are still some other instruments that I might have fun trying to pick up because they sound beautiful when played right (not to say that trombone doesn't, it's just that I'm not sure I have the skill to do that.)
2) Who is your best friend, and why?
In regard to the people who have known me throughout my wandering journey, I'd have to say I considerwelah to be a best friend. There have been many wise people who have crossed my path that I respect highly, but I'd say that welah's my best friend because he has lots of similar interests, and he and I have had marvelous conversations about all sorts of things. Those conversations are the deciding factor.
3) Briefly tell us about your favorite teacher/professor.
Well, in high school I had an English teacher who did Shakespeare and theater and had a wonderfully excited personality. I got to know her well through the various theater productions and classes and extracurriculars. She retired a few years ago and I think she hasn't looked back once, because she's out enjoying her life too much.
Here at university, I think of Ralph Williams as being a fountain of useful information and opinion about almost everything religious and beyond. He also does Shakespeare, and I've heard that class is wonderful as well. He's shaping up to be the favorite among my professors.
4) What do you want to be doing with your life by time you turn 50?
Hopefully living a virtuous life, having children and pets and wife and working diligently but enjoyably at my library profession. The rest is hopefully just icing on the cake.
5) What is your greatest accomplishment thus far? Does it build towards your goal in #4? Why or why not?
Erm... right now I count my greatest accomplishment at the moment as being out of my hometown and trying diligently to broaden myself here at university. It builds towards #4 eventually in that I hope to culminate my university experience with a Master's in Library and Information Science. Come back in a few years, and I might have something I'm willing to admit to as a greatest accomplishment.
So there's a peek into my existence. Thus, I must place the Rules now.
THE RULES:
1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
I will endeavour to do my best to ask good questions, but if I don't know you all that well, I'm afraid I may not do so well. Please be patient and understanding.
In secondary news, things travel quickly, for bothwelah and tkarrde98 already have posted about this matter, but I think it's worth reading and a little funny, too.
Twelve reasons why gays shouldn't be allowed to be married (It's facetious, not serious, so enjoy it in the satire that it is intended.)

Sorry if they're all serious questions, but I tend to try and learn a lot with a little bit of questioning.
