The Real Me Survey:
My personality
- The song to best describe me is: I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead (Weird Al)
- Using the acronym R.E.A.L., four words to describe me are: Random, Eccentric, Anxious, Loyal
- People I’m close to say I’m: Unique
- When you first meet me, you’ll think I’m: quiet and reserved (but I'm really not)
My goals
- My proudest moment is: Watching my kids do well
- In ten years, I’d like to say I’ve: Been a great mom
- If I could teach someone else a skill of mine, it would be: Photography
- If I could learn something new, it would be: Everything there is to know
My favorite things
- If I was stuck on an island with food and water, I’d also bring: A surefire method of escape! (Barring that, I'd want parachute cord, a good "swiss army" knife, and a huge tarp.)
- If I could plan my last meal, it would be: anything, shared with family and friends
- If I could go on a $10,000 shopping spree anywhere, it would be: someplace where my hubby and kids could participate in the shopping!

Wishful thinking:
- If I could live in any time and place, it would be: Wherever and whenever, as long as I have my family and friends.
- If I could live the life of someone else for one day, it would be: someone who I know is hurting people I love, to make that person tell the whole truth, and stop the psycho cycle!
- My perfect escape is: my own imagination
- If I had a genie in a bottle (and couldn't have anymore wishes) I would ask for: The power to heal people.
Random Fact:
- A random fact about me is: I got my first camera, an Olympus PenEE, when I was 2. It looked like this:

The camera though, was it actually a working camera and what kind of pictures did you take?
Yes, it was a working camera. The PenEE was a half-frame camera (dividing each horizontal frame on a 35mm roll into 2 vertical parts).
Mostly, I shot pictures of members of my family, and stuff in our yard. I kept the camera with me most of the time, though, so when we went places, I took pictures there, too. I think my Dad still has them somewhere.
At two, I shot a lot of out-of-focus pictures, but by the time I was four, I'd learned some compositional rules and a little about photographing people. Before I learned to focus the camera, I learned to use it at a specific range of distance (Dad had set it up for me).
