Questions from Kristen:
1. What has surprised you the most about marriage?
Nothing really. I think one of the things that has surprised me since I’ve been married is how much I miss Rachel’s family.
2. What is the most enjoyable part of your job?
Relaxed hours. Lots of vacation time.
3. What scares you the most about becoming a parent?
Probabyly the thought of Wombdancer dying before me.
4. If you had your way, where would you be and what would you be doing in five years?
Either in seminary or out of seminary, in Spokane.
5. Why penguins?
Blasphemy! Heresy!
Ask for some Q’s, and I’ll give some too.

I can’t believe anyone would have the nerve to question penguins.
April 9th, 2005 at 7:55 pm
Yeah, sometimes it’s so hard to be gentle with unbelievers.

gimme some questions!

Okay, Jen, I’m going to ask questions that I’ve been hesitant to ask.
1. How do you balance candidates when you vote? When you have a pro-lifer who kills life by his ecological policies, how does he compare Kyoto kissing pro-choicer who thinks abortions should be available to anyone at any time of the pregnancy? (That’s a really qualified question, so read it literally
)
2. How would you argue for the ordination with a moderate conservative or Anglo-Catholic who allows women in non-priestly roles or as acolytes, but can’t go for women’s ordination because of exegetical hangups (Creation account, Timothy, Corinthians)?.
3. How do you veg at home?
4. An anti-cat speech (with people burning cats in public) is going on at the same time as a Marva Dawn lecture called, “Making the Jump From Pastor’s Wife to Pastor.” They’re across town from each other. What do you do?
5. You’ve won a free trip. You can go to Strassbourg, Wittenberg, Worms, and Geneva, or you could go to Hawaii, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. Which do you choose?

1. So Holly, your parents have a rather strict policy on use of “bad words” in your house (gee, gosh, etc.). You bring your fiancee over for dinner, and he repeatedly says these words. The kids are all crying because you’ve brought a bad man into the house. How does that go over in your own head? What do you say to him? Do you talk to your parents about it? To your siblings?
2. So, Tim is over the house, and he just won’t shut up (I know, not likely to happen). He’s saying some things you think are way off. Do you argue (in the best sense of the word) with him? If you do, he gets upset, and raises his voice (I know, not likely to happen either). Do you keep arguing? If you do, he finally gets frustrated and yells, “Whirl is king!” You give him a funny look and say sarcastically….
3. What is the difference between sarcasm and cynicism, and how each be used effectively?
4. Your parents decide to hop on a plane to China. They’re imprisoned by communists. Forrest/Rebekah and Heidi/Tim take some of the kids. You’re left with one. Which one will be your slave/dependent, and why?
5. The US government outlaws your hair color, saying that anyone who refuses to dye her hair will be scourged daily. What color do you dye your hair?

Brianna:
1. You’re at lunch when your pastor starts talking about how great it is that the American Episcopals elected Gene Robinson as the first gay bishop. One of your friends pipes up, “You love fags, or something?” and giggles. What do you say, and how does the rest of the conversation go?
2. You’re writing your latest novel, and it’s about bloggers. You’ve used the names of all real bloggers. Your publisher says, “You have to many characters. One of them has to die.” Who is it, and how do you kill them off?
3. The polar ice caps melt, and the Northern hemisphere is flooded. So is Australia. You have to move to a third world country. Where do you go? The people can’t read English, so novel-writing is useless. What do you do?
4. Your blog your novel, and thousands of publishers want to publish it. They’re all willing to pay the same. Which publisher do you choose and why?
5. You’ve been kidnapped by a band. They want you to write their press releases. Which band is it? Why do you think they picked you?

Isaiah:
1. You’re photographing a wedding, and there she is. How do you figure out if she’s interested? What do you even like about her?
2. Fire from heaven consumes Moscow. Where do you go?
3. You were a bit careless with the roast beef slicer at Arby’s. You’ve lost your fingers. Disability has denied you a paycheck, saying that the loss of fingers isn’t really much of a loss. What do you do for work?
4. Your wife wants to name your kids after cartoon characters. You say that it’s okay, but that you want to pick the characters. Which do you choose?
5. You’re forty and single. You play video games all day. You’ve become Matt Wilkins (Just imagine your brother Nathan, if he hadn’t changed by the time he was forty.) You’ve saved a ton of money. You need a total makeover. Where do you go shopping for clothes and what do you buy? What kind of a car do you buy? What’s the new Isaiah look like? (You have your fingers back.)

First of all, I have to say that I was giggling so much that it actually distracted Heidi from IMing Tim and she had to find out what was so funny…*laughs*
1. So Holly, your parents have a rather strict policy on use of “bad words” in your house (gee, gosh, etc.). You bring your fiancee over for dinner, and he repeatedly says these words. The kids are all crying because you’ve brought a bad man into the house. How does that go over in your own head? What do you say to him? Do you talk to your parents about it? To your siblings?
The kids wouldn’t cry, they’d gasp and say in a loud whisper, “Why does Mr. _______ keep saying bad words?! Is he a bad man?”
Interesting questions…I probably would let him know somehow that my folks don’t much care for it, and ask if he’d try not to say those words quite so frequently when he’s around my siblings.
2. So, Tim is over the house, and he just won’t shut up (I know, not likely to happen). He’s saying some things you think are way off. Do you argue (in the best sense of the word) with him? If you do, he gets upset, and raises his voice (I know, not likely to happen either). Do you keep arguing? If you do, he finally gets frustrated and yells, “Whirl is king!” You give him a funny look and say sarcastically….
“Like you’d know!”
But yeah, I’d argue.
3. What is the difference between sarcasm and cynicism, and how each be used effectively?
Wow, I’d never heard them together like that. I can’t tell you how to effectively use sarcasm, I just do it. And not being a cynic, I can only guess that to be an effective cynic, get an Eeyore costume…
4. Your parents decide to hop on a plane to China. They’re imprisoned by communists. Forrest/Rebekah and Heidi/Tim take some of the kids. You’re left with one. Which one will be your slave/dependent, and why?
Hailie of course, she’s my pal. Though I would have to take into consideration my singleness and need for a job…that being the case, I’d probably take Hilary. Did you purposely forget Heather/Isaac?
5. The US government outlaws your hair color, saying that anyone who refuses to dye her hair will be scourged daily. What color do you dye your hair?
Jet Black of course.
