Buster Anne answers Eman's questions

Welcome, Buster Anne.

She came through the mail, gently wrapped up in bright red tissue paper with an aquamarine gift card decorated by her creator, Jennie. What a lovely surprise! Apparently, my praises of Jennie's work resulted in a warm heart... and cute kitty. Here she is answering the phone at work.



Bathing in the fluorescence of fame. Or my desk lamp on a bed of Post Its.



And then, just hanging around.



Although we haven't known one another for a long time, I sensed that she is a creature of deep intuition. She helped me answer Eman's questions. And I promise to adhere to the "rules": to not answer with a yes or no and to give you, the reader, should you have a blog to also be asked five questions. Just leave a comment saying so!

Per Eman:

1) I'm lacking knitted clothing. Say I ask you if you could knit me something. Anything. What would you knit me?

I would knit you a talking Jesus.

Wow, that's weird but cool.

2) What's makes you queasy-nauseous?
Welp, I wouldn't say I'm squeamish, but I was shocked to find photos of the actual birth of my new nephew in my bro's photo album. Thank God it wasn't him in labor, or else that would've been really weird.
Otherwise, I dislike the scales on reptiles.

3) Let's say you can teleport to any time period in the past. Sorry, no traveling to the future. What era would you visit, and what would you do?
I would go back to the days that either one, or both, of my parents were children. So I guess, the forties, and I would give them some knitted items, toys and a hug (things they never had) telling them that they will turn out to be awesome people.

4) Now let's say I have room on my bookshelf. Name a book that I absolutely must read right now.
Difficult Conversations. I've had some solid breakthroughs in learning how to communicate effectively. Also coupled with just good old fashioned bravery, it can help you navigate this world a bit better.

5) You must have a ton of memories from school. What's one standout 725 Levering moment for you? Bonus points if I'm involved.
First of all, I'm impressed that you remembered my college address. Hello! Bonus points to you. And as for a memory, I do not have any particular memories of 725, but I remember one summer walking through the alley behind the UCLA Extension building quite often to play poker with all you guys and listen to Lionel Richie.

Thanks Eman and Buster Anne!
