What are some of the more outrageous characters you’ve read, and how do you feel about them?
I'm not going to name any examples, but I will say that I will accept the existence of a quirky and outrageous character in a book that has quirky, outrageous, and comedic tones more easily than in a book that attempts to take things seriously. It's not to say that a serious book can't have an outrageous character but often it just becomes annoying.
Onesome: Long ago-- I was sure I would become a _ _ _ _ _ _ when I grew up! Hmmm...
The first job I thought I wanted was to become a teacher. It was in first grade and there was this assignment to draw a picture of what you wanted to do when you grew up. So I picked something.
Twosome: and-- how did you end up where you are (currently) if that didn't happen? (Students, you can talk majors and changes and such!)
Well, all I can say is, I'm most likely more suited to be a scientist than a teacher. I have mixed feelings about my experiences as a teaching assistant.
Threesome: Far Away-- from any thoughts of the Super Bowl? Are you tuning in? No? Whatcha' doin' instead?
Even if I had a TV, I would not be watching the Super Bowl. Sports bore me. I'm not sure what I'll be doing this weekend. Maybe catching up on some reading.
