Do you like someone?
Do I like someone? What does that... On the wide spectrum of things, do I like other people? Or is this like when Lola talks about liking one of the boys in her class? Because I’m not a six year old, of course. I like... enough people. I'm surrounded by enough good people that I have taken a shining to, yes. Do I have any romantic inclinations towards any of them in particular? That’s none of your business, is it?
Are you scared of spiders?
No, I’m not.
Do you want to have kids? How many?
Oh, um. I can’t say I’ve ever given it much thought? I never particularly found myself endeared towards children, not until Lola was born. And, of course, she and Rudy are the most important part of my life. I haven’t any notion of shacking up and having any of my own right now, no. But that’s not to say that I don’t adore my niece and nephew. My students, too.
Who/what was your last dream about?
Oh, no. The less said about that, the better.
Is it easier to forgive or forget?
I don’t know. I suppose that depends on the situation, doesn’t it? It’s all dependent on just how much somebody might have hurt you. I’m probably not the most forgiving person at the best of times, but I like to just move on with my life where possible.
Do you wanna get married?
God, no. Marriage hasn’t ever been on my radar and, quite frankly, I think it’s a bit of a waste of time. Now, if someone were to come along and change my mind on the matter, then perhaps. It would have to take a special sort of lady to really twist my arm on the matter.. I can’t imagine there are many people eager to take on the job, though.
