An interview with Pendragon:


*Why are we doing this interview thing?*
It's that time of the year again, sigh...

*Are you sure you want to do this?*
Why not?

Why would you want that?
The question is too ambiguous to answer at this time

*So, how old are you?*
Um, 51, and feeling it...

*If you had a personal theme song what would it be?*
It's My Life by Bon Jovi

*Are you male or female? *
Decidedly male

*If you owned the site, what would you change?
*
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

*What was the inspiration for your LitNet username? And if you could change it today, what would you pick?* One of the first novels I read was Sidney Lainer's King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table. If I changed it at all, it would probably be Raven or Blade, two of my pseudonyms

*Which countries have you visited?*
Well, I am unfortunate enough to have visited no other countries, unless you count West Virginia, which is weird enough to be its own country

*Which languages do you speak?*
English and just enough French and Spanish to make a complete fool of myself!

*If you could live somewhere different, where would it be and why?*
Cape Hatteras, because I love it out there

Have you heard the news today, oh boy?
Yeah, "Cop Sues Over Bagel" "Parents Arrested Over Sandwich" the usual political tomfoolery...

*Do you have any pets?*
Yeah, a Schnauzer-Poo named Izzy, a tom cat named Taz and a painted turtle named Firebelly

*What makes you happy?*
Peace and quiet

*Do you feel comfortable in your walk with God/atheism? *
Yes

Who is your favourite Beatle?
Beetle Baily Har!

*How do you like your coffee? *
Black, when I drink it, which isn't often

*Given the option, what animal would you choose to be?*
A cougar, hands down. It is my spirit animal

What did you want to be when you grew up?
I don't think I ever DID grow up, but I used to dream of being a school teacher

*What's the biggest fish you've ever caught?*
A nearly eight pound catfish

*What makes you feel great about yourself?*

Learn to live

Around 30, things were going well at the time and my kids were still small.

Anything would be an improvement...

A library

*If you were a king/queen for a day, what would you do?*
Well, they are mostly symbolic these days, but I know some people who make me feel like The Queen of Hearts "Off with his head!"

*What’s the stupidest forum argument you’ve ever had?*
The "Evolution versus Creationism" thread. I should never have gotten involved. The behavior of both sides made me ashamed to be part of it.

Batman, who isn't depressing. After all, anyone can be a superhero if you have the stack of powers Superman has, but when you're a mere mortal, it takes some kind of man to do that!
