### 1. What three meals would you have before heading to the International Space Station? ###

What a funny question. Like, how long will I be there? Because if i'm only going for a month or something I'd have grits and eggs, hash browns and bacon for breakfast, a BLT for lunch and street tacos for dinner. 

But if I'm going for like, Eons or something, I guess I'd have .... um. Street Tacos. Really great pizza. A perfectly cooked and seasoned steak with a baked potato and roasted asparagus. Noms. Shit, now I'm hungry... 

### 2. What section of the newspaper would you be in? ###

That's easy; police blotter, duh.

### 3. If you were immortal, at what age would you choose to stop aging and why? ###

Oooooo this IS a good one. I'm going to pretend that I don't think we're eternal beings already but instead focus on the fact that when I was 14 I was physically perfect. For me and my body, not like SOME people's ideal of bikini-fit or whatever other lameness *you people* try to impose on others. So I'd do that.

### 4. What sport would you compete in, if you were in the Olympics? ###

Do they have the one where I'm like Merida on her horse and with her bow and arrow? Oh look, hahaha they do! Mounted Archery. Boom.

### 5. If you had to back in time to live the rest of your life, where/when would you go? ###

Well - and this kills me - I wouldn't. Not because I haven't made any mistakes; not because I don't have regrets. But see, I have these four little souls that are here exactly because of the way the shit in my life played out. If I went back and 'fixed' something, some or all of them wouldn't exist, and I can't do that. I'm a firm believer in the fact that what happens in our lives shapes us into the people we become and these guys are fucking rad exactly how they are. 

### 6.  If time and money were no barrier, what would you create? ###

[@ancapbarbie](https://steemit.com/twelvequestions/@ancapbarbie/twelve-questions-challenge) makes me feel like an idiot with her answer cuz i'm all, 'World Peace!' and stuff. So I'm just going to stick with it... I'd make sure no child goes hungry or without their needs well met. I'd ensure the old live in comfort and dignity. I'd cure the sick and make sure everyone had music and laughter in abundance. NBD.

### 7. Have you ever completed anything on your bucket list? ###

I've only recently compiled a bucket list so no, however one of the things I don't think I even put on there was to have my kids be : bilingual (check!) learn a musical instrument (check!) and be involved in an ongoing martial art school (super check!) so I'm stoked.

### 8.  What would be the most surprising scientific discovery imaginable? ###

This is a funny question for me right now, lol. I'm going with a cure to aging. 

### 9. Are you a good witch or a bad witch? ###

Depends on who you ask ;)

 ### 10. If you had to teach a class on one thing, what would it be? ###

Oh dudes. I can teach you about non profits; on child development. On birthing. On breastfeeding. On nutrition. On poker. Take yer pick!!

### 11. Which band/artist - dead or alive - would play at your funeral? ###

[Nelson.](http://www.matthewandgunnarnelson.com/)

### 12. What book/movie recently read/seen would you recommend and why? ###

Oh well! I don't have time to *read things* OR to *watch things* much these days so I'll point you to two of my absolute favorite authors here on Steemit, whom I DO read. 

Interesting... I was just going to throw them up here but you need to understand; they are VASTLY different authors and their 'books' are very distinct genres.

First is [*Still Not Black Enough*](https://steemit.com/fiction/@schattenjaeger/still-not-black-enough-chapter-01) by the uncompromisingly brilliant @schattenjaeger. I'm completely in love with him (don't worry, my other husbands know) and he is writing an action/adventure trilogy along the lines of Jack Reacher or John Wick. This story is action packed with Schatt's dazzling mastery of character development, dialogue and intrigue. He leaves me with a cliffhanger each time which just drives me INSANE. I **_LOVE_** it. 

Next is the amazing @dreemsteem and her work, [*Fireflies*](https://steemit.com/fantasy/@dreemsteem/fireflies-chapter-1). Fireflies is a fantasy adventure set in a gorgeous other-world. Her characters and tangible and readers can't help but empathize even while the story is fantastic and whimsical. 

Sincerely, thank you both for creating spaces for me to escape to and characters to care about.

### I Nominate! ###

Well, first, my love @schattenjaeger because I want to know everything about him. He probably won't do it and I won't blame him, this took me two days, lol. 

@celsius100, @sevendst19, @chops316 and @blackvapor. I want to know more about you guys too! :) You have to do this though. Schatt is Finnish and you're not. Sorry, I don't make the rules. (lulz)

Ok, that's it from me for now! Taker easy!

xo, b.
