1) When you were five or six years old, what did you want to grow up to be?
I have no memories from that age. Even quite late in life I had no idea what I wanted to be. My careers advice at school was get a job or go to Uni. So I went to Uni.
2) What was your favourite subject in school (any level of education, kindergarten to PhD if you went for one)?
Chemistry - I have memories of shattering test tubes, and experiments gone wrong which I love.
3) Who is your current role model (celebrity or personal life - don’t need to give full names from personal life, of course)?
Beethoven. Shit childhood, suffered from depression, had no joy in relationships and yet wrote the Ode to Joy. I've said before that I've had very few friendships and that even one friend is a blessing, which is exactly the lyrics in his 9th Symphony
"Whoever has created an abiding friendship, or has won a true and loving wife, all who can call at least one soul theirs, join in our song of praise"

Can we assume you were a treble maker?
1. When you were five or six years old, what did you want to grow up to be?
A scientist - not that I knew what a scientist did - but I ended up an engineer which is pretty close.
2. What was your favourite subject in school (any level of education, kindergarten to PhD if you went for one)?
I enjoyed all subjects - got bored with US History. In college I took Machine shop and other electives not required by my major. Any hands on class I liked. (Though I took machine shop in my last year of school and because I was looking for a job I fell behind in making my project. So we spent a half day at a real machine shop with the bf and others completing the project . ) And then I passed the course even though I was auditing it.

3. Who is your current role model (celebrity or personal life - don’t need to give full names from personal life, of course)?
Mike aka @1964dodge lately has been a role model. Otherwise I don't have one. But he offers support and love even through his pain. Hopefully I will meet him this year as we live approx 100 miles away.

1. When you were five or six years old, what did you want to grow up to be?
I think I just wanted to be left alone.
2. What was your favourite subject in school (any level of education, kindergarten to PhD if you went for one)?
Biology or environmental science. They were the only subjects that I was somewhat motivated to learn, but I believe my teachers’ personalities are what really engaged me.
3. Who is your current role model (celebrity or personal life - don’t need to give full names from personal life, of course)?
My older siblings. My brother is incredibly self-sufficient and self-motivated, and my sister is remarkably resilient, dependable, and doesn’t take shit from anyone. Not a soul.

1. When you were five or six years old, what did you want to grow up to be?
It was a toss up between professional weirdo or professional sleeper until I learned you can't make money at either one. At 5 or 6 I can't remember, but a few years later I always wanted to be a scientist on the ocean like Cousteau on the Calypso.
2. What was your favourite subject in school (any level of education, kindergarten to PhD if you went for one)?
History. In some respects I get that some people don't care for remember names and dates, but at the same time with how humans have acted towards each other and the things they have done history is like a non stop action TV show or movie in many respects. With the exception of technology changing people behave much the same now as in past centuries with non stop exploration, intrigues and conquests.
3. Who is your current role model (celebrity or personal life - don’t need to give full names from personal life, of course)?
Currently can't think of one.

My answers
1. When you were five or six years old, what did you want to grow up to be?
A singer or actress, someone very famous and deeply adored by many to compensate for how much I didn’t feel very noticed or loved in my life.
2. What was your favourite subject in school (any level of education, kindergarten to PhD if you went for one)?
Art. Always art. I loved reading and writing too though
3. Who is your current role model (celebrity or personal life - don’t need to give full names from personal life, of course)?
Hmm this is hard cos it’s not just one person but a few…and one of them…well I would never want them to feel “pressured” or anything like that because it’s just meant in a purely loving way and I’d never have any kind of expectations with it or anything like that. Like, it just “is” pretty much. I won’t actually explicitly say it here in case they wouldn’t like it or something but let’s just say there is someone who I definitely deeply admire, respect, love and feel deeply inspired by
The other 2 are:
1. My mom- She is so strong and brave to have survived like she has with having very little (basically none) support from anyone ever in her whole life. She also has great taste and I just really admire so many of the qualities she has
2. Mark Hamill because I love how powerful and expressive he is with his face, voice and just his overall energy. He seems like he is a deeply kind and caring person and if I was ever an actress I would definitely hope to be even half as good as him
