If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

"You again?"

Who are your favorite heroes of fiction?

I'm an anti-hero kind of girl, but the members of J.D. Salinger's Glass family are my favorites. I also love the questing protagonists in Tom Robbins and Haruki Murakami novels.)

What is your present state of mind?

Happy

What is your motto?

No motto... But I do love this Salman Rushdie quote: "Who am I? My answer: I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all that I have been seen done, of everything done-to-me. I am everyone everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am everything that happens after I've gone that would not have happened if I had not come."

If you won $100 million in the lottery tomorrow, who or what would you give the first 100K to?

My mom & then my friends, who are all trying desperately to pay back their student loans...

What musician would you most like to see perform in your living room?

Radiohead acoustic session!

What is your secret ambition?

I'm a closet poet, so publishing is always in the back of my mind.
