• Have you ever met anybody famous?
  • I will limit this to my two favorites.. just to keep this as short as I can.. but also have some story to it???
    
    One of my favorites was Jamie Lee Curtis. She is a super sweet woman and at the time she was in love with my daughter and was trying to trade me movie props from the original movie Halloween for her as a joke. Meeting her ended up in the credits of the 35th anniversary?edition of Halloween. One of the fun items I will give my daughter when she is older & gets all her life?keepsakes I’ve saved for her. Hopefully?they still have Blu-Ray players at that time. Lol???The other favorite?would have to be Page Joseph Falkinburg, which most people know as “DDP” or “Diamond Dallas Page” from the WWF… my dad watched wrestling my entire life, so I grew up watching him.. which brings me to why he was my other favorite… he had a huge line of people (50+ at least) to meet him and he took my cell phone & called my father for 45 minutes and just talked to him about whatever my dad wanted to talk about. To my dad, that meant the world.. to me it showed me that he was human and being who he is to his fans is really just his job. He really cares about his fans and it was heartwarming. He was also with the actor Danny Trejo.. so that was fun too..?

• If you had just 1 box for your stuff, what 5 items would you put in it?
  • Since my family & pets aren’t “stuff” this isn’t as hard as it could be…
    
    1. As sad as I am to say this, my phone would be first. Reason being… it has my photos & music, in addition to my contact to the world & the ability to pay for things (clothing, food, bills, etc.). No need for a charger, I’ll borrow one…
    2. My journal w/pen attached…
    3. A tent – shelter
    4. A bike – transportation
    5. My preserved Bat named Bob… Because it’s a preserved bat.. and it’s creepy & awesome.

• Vampire or werewolf? Why?
  • Vampire… of course. I would not be happy about the blood part.. but I’d deal with it to have pet bats, sleep in a weird eerie coffin, live in an AMAZING Victorian/Gothic castle, be immortal/make everyone you love immortal….?Live every single day as if it were the best Halloween you ever had..?Also, wet dogs smell… I couldn’t handle that smell being me.

• What’s in your sandwich?
  • Growing up as a child, it’s the only thing I found in my lunch box. I didn’t buy lunch or even pack lunchmeat. My mom always packed me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, chips, an apple and I got milk from the school. So for me, it’s definitely a pbj filling in the sandwich.

• What was your favorite toy as a kid?
  • Matchbox cars- My grandmother always sent these to me in care packages and I always wanted to be a NASCAR driver, but my size (6’6” and 260 lbs.) precluded me from that position. Also, my mom and sisters told me I was crazy for wanting to be one.

• If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?
  • Lion- It was my high school mascot, it’s the king of the savannah, and it is an imperative part of the ecological process in it’s habitat. I see myself as a lion due to numerous reasons but the best one is that when I walk in a room people notice. There’s no hiding my presence.

  • ??????

• If you could disinvent one thing, what would it be and why?
  • If I could disinvent one thing it would probably be social media to a certain extent because that is all this world is based on nowadays. It has people not knowing how to communicate, their minds all into their phones rather than their friends and loved ones, & it has some people always looking at celebrities and wishing they could look a certain way. Social media has a lot pros as well but those are some of the cons I feel social media brings with this day in age.

• If you could choose any animal to be your permanent sidekick, what animal would it be and why?
  • A capybara. They have the unofficial title as the friendliest animal in the world – you can see them cuddling with hawks, cats, even crocodiles!

My sidekick capybara and I would trudge into a hot spring, ignore the woes of the daily toil, and contemplate life while staring at Mt. Fuji.

Rosanne Pela

• If you could create a holiday, what would it be called and how would it be celebrated?
  • If I could create a holiday, I would make it National Pay-It-Forward Day. it would be a paid holiday, of course. It also needs to be on a Monday so that we may get rid of one Monday in the month, for something uplifting. On this holiday, all are expected to participate by doing something nice for at least 1 or as many people as one would like. By doing so, this should create a chain of giving, positivity and kindness. It will create an overall feel-good mood, people realizing that there IS still good in this crazy world and spreading it can bring good vibes. Hopefully people feeling good about how it feels to make another feel good, and how it feels when kindness is shown to you, would cause more to want to repeat it & spread it, more than just on that holiday.

• How do you like your coffee?
  • I’m going to have to go extra light and extra sweet with french vanilla -on ice so it doesn’t taste like coffee.

• What was your favorite show growing up?
  • My favorite show as a little girl, would have to be The Magic Garden with Paula & Carole. I LOVED them. They would sing, play dress up & do skits that taught little life lessons. They read jokes off of leaves from the “Chuckle Patch” and hung out with Sherlock, a big squirrel, that lived in a tree that gave gifts. What an amazing place. I want to go right now- you wanna!????

Andrew Garrett

• What is your favorite day of the week and why?
  • Well this is awkward because if I say any day on the weekend it will seem like I don’t want to be at work. Let’s face it, everyone loves to work so I will say every day! Each day brings something new if you allow it to. However, if I had to pick only one favorite it would have to be Friday because it leads into the weekend which means a lot of time to surround yourself with family and friends.

• What would be the best thing about not having a sense of smell?
  • Getting it back…

• What would you do on mars for fun?
  • Funny you should ask because for the longest time I thought boys only went there to get more candy bars. Turns out there isn’t even a candy store there! I will need to borrow a lot of specific items from NASA prior to my trip and roughly $6 billion or so from the space program funds. I’m sure they won’t miss it? I will also hopefully have accumulated close to the more than 30 months of vacation time I will need prior to our departure – thanks in advance Andrew and Ron. Not sure exactly how long I will have to have worked here to get that much off time built up? I will have a little time to think through all I want to do while we are there because it’s a short 9-month flight there. Sleep aids will need to be prescribed and picked up prior to us leaving as well. My kids will have to come along for this vacation of a lifetime. Chances are we might look into doing some space surfing, definitely some beach time where we will build a few sweet salt castles, explore the vast highs and lows of the Red Planet in our spacesuits with whatever space vehicle they have for us at the local enterprise. We will also spend a lot of time taking in the stunning clear view of the stars and searching for other life forms. I assume and hope the suits we get from NASA will hold up to the brisk -55c which also means that swimming might be out this family trip. At the end of the day sometimes the trip within the trip is the real experience so my trip to Mars will be made complete by quality time with the ones I love and the fun we will have just doing anything that comes our way on this adventure while laughing and sharing stories on the short 30 month get away. All things considered I’m just glad I didn’t have to go to Jupiter because we all know what they say happens there…
