Heroes
What makes a hero?
Tenacity makes a hero.
What is your favorite hero and why do they speak to you?
Popeye the Sailor Man is a stand up gentle hero who chugs green smoothies and fearlessly fights the biggest brutes and most powerful princes to get Olive Oil out of a pickle.
If you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Could you be tempted to use it for evil?
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be time travel or healing powers. You’d have to really twist my arm for me to flip.
What would your costume look like?
My costume would be my own skin, engineered to be more durable and flame resistant while still maintaining a healthy elasticity and radiance. And wings. Can flight just be a given?
Monsters
What makes a monster?
Despair makes a monster.
What fictional monster scares you the most and why?
Poltergeists. They are residential, all powerful bullies.
What everyday experience brings out the monster in you?
Not being able to find my keys/phone/glasses… everyday freakout… thrashing and yelling.
