    Happy Birthday, Themis!

    An interview with Themis:

    *Why are we doing this interview thing?*
    Because I like telling people about myself.

    Positive.

    *Who killed Roger Rabbit?*
    Not me!

    *Whose footprints would you find in the fridge?*
    Possibly my own.

    *So, how old are you?*
    26.

    Writing the aforementioned book, having children and being a good person.

    *If you were to be stuck at a particular time in your life, which one would you choose and why?*
    My childhood. Everybody I care about was still happy then.

    *Do you get tired living life?*
    Never. As far as I know, it's the only life I'll ever live. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

    *Do you have a tasty recipe for life that you could share for a reasonable price? … Is it REALLY tasty?*
    Yes and yes.

    *What method do you cherish above all others, as means to improving your life?*
    Hard work. Though I would love to be lucky some time.

    *If you were a king/queen for a day, what would you do?*
    Nothing, but isn't that the point?

    I'm pleased to report that I've already forgotten that particular argument.

    Anything with either tuna, arugula or cheese. Possibly even together.

    Possibly Happy, because I'm mostly happy and optimistic. Except when I'm not - then I'm Grumpy.

    Nothing. I'm content with the way I look.

    *What book would you recommend to others of all types and ages as a must read?*
