What is your current employment/vocation, I dont mean "what is your job title" but instead, what do you do?

Do you feel that the answer to the above is "just where you are", or is it "where you would like to be", right now?

What's the worst movie you've ever seen?

My current employment/vocation is running my own photography company. I was just published in a magazine for some Italian high fashion work I did and am happy about that. Currently I am focusing my efforts back onto boudoir and running a duel marketing campaign with a Lingerie company. It is proving to be quite fruitful and I am going back to what I love doing which is taking peekchurs of teh ladies. I started out by doing pin up and boudoir and I miss doing it. After I moved to a more conservative place, I focused on doing more conservative things like weddings, families, studio work etc, which is actually what I went to school for. I love doing those things too, albeit they are more stressful! With pin up/boudoir, I love making women feel beautiful no matter age, shape etc. There is a delicate and interesting process that happens from start to finish of a boudoir session. It's very light and feminine and often times ends in happy tears. These women don't see the subtle things that make them beautiful and are often battling body issues. To be able to present them with photographs of how they look through someone else's eyes is quite an alluring trade.

Past me thought this is where I would like to be, but present me feels like I am a terrible business person (I should have taken business courses) and would like someone else to take care of the networking, insurance, client paperwork, marketing etc. However if all works well with this Lingerie company, I might actually be on my way to having that happen.

Future-seeking me feels since every time I move countries with my business I lose my network, cliental, including all references and any shoot sites it's hard for me to imagine moving my business a 3rd time back home. It takes 3 - 5 years to establish yourself again. If I end up moving, plan 2.0 would be getting my horticultural degree and apply as a foreman for city work in Canada whilst running my business on the side.

Dreamer me feels what I would have truthfully loved to is become a paleontologist or a biologist -but my math skills will never be up to snuff. I say this with certainty since one of my parents is a math teacher :O

David Lynch... *shakes fist in air*

If your consciousness had to be uploaded into a sentient jar of jam, which flavour jam would you choose?

If you were on the run from a werewolf and you broke into an orchestra's storage room, would you use the instruments defensively (barricade/armour/hiding spot) or offensively (ranged or handheld weapon)? Which ones would you use?

If you had a waterslide is a grassy sloping field (essentially a quite long plastic sheet) and you had no nearby source of water to lubricate the sheet BUT you do have a bucket each of: raspberry jam (without pips), liquid washing machine detergent, banana ice cream, blue water-based emulsion paint, sunflower cooking oil and factor 10 sun cream. Which do you use on the slide?

[Lord Hosk]

Four questions, if you had unlimited funds and unlimited time but the restriction that said time and funds could only be used to travel to these 4 places.

What US landmark?
What Canadian City?
What European Country?
What Unrestricted location?

[Ptangmatik]

if someone surgically removed your arms and successfully attached your left arm to your right shoulder and right arm to your left shoulder, which would you find harder: getting dressed, eating, writing or typing?

[TheRocket]

Of course I spent a long time answering these, only to be logged out. *SIGH FACES* Let's try this again.

If your consciousness had to be uploaded into a sentient jar of jam, which flavour jam would you choose?

I'd be a hot red pepper jelly. At first a little spicy and uncomfortable, but soon enough you find you enjoy me.

If you were on the run from a werewolf and you broke into an orchestra's storage room, would you use the instruments defensively (barricade/armour/hiding spot) or offensively (ranged or handheld weapon)? Which ones would you use?

Offensively. I'm a scrapper at heart and the Irish inside of me quickly turns into bar room heroics when I feel threatened. Since I'm essentially dealing with a dog, I would use a high pitched instrument to distract and hurt it's ears. I'd use a sharp note on the flute or piccolo probably for that since I've played before, and then proceed to bash skulls with a brass. Maybe finish off by beheading via string off a string instrument.

Have you ever played on a SlipN'Slide? They are awful. You think it's going to be fun sliding upon a grassy hill, until you slide your tailbone or sternum right into a hidden, sharp rock in the ground. However since you are making me choose, I would omit the jam and ice-cream because they are sticky and irritate skin when left on. The detergent and paint would not be used because those would irritate your skin almost immediately and are full of chemicals you can find in your local MSDS binder. The cooking oil and sunscreen would both be great for your skin, but I would choose the oil for the fact that is would do less environmental damage and for the WEEEEEEEEEE! factor.

What US landmark? Brooklyn Bridge, New York City.
What Canadian City? Calgary, Alberta
What European Country? Ireland
What Unrestricted location? Man, I almost want to say NYC because I feel like I can travel the world by being there. However, I really want to travel everywhere, always. Going to photograph Diwali in India is on my bucket list. But I would also love to do an EU train tour.

Massssterbating? But for real, getting dressed. I already have issues with that.

If you could give your husband one super power what would it be?

[JustAName]

How's your day going? Your week? What's the worst anyone's ever mispronounced your name? What's your middle name?

[Machalllewis]

If you were a tree, what tree would you be?

Why didn't Tarzan have a beard?

[Metcarfre]

What's the gluten-ous (ha!) food you miss the most?

[Jamfalcon]

Is there any one book/movie/game/other media that you can go back to constantly and always enjoy?

Is there one that you wish you could enjoy endlessly, but can't?

[Ptangmatik]

Which is your favourite leg?

How many fingers am I holding up?

[TheRocket]

Are your friends/family in Calgary doing alright?

What's your favourite thing to photograph?

White, milk or dark chocolate?

My family is fine, but several of my friends have lost their homes and personal belongings. Seeing the photos of their devastating circumstances and knowing I can't help sucks.

My favourite thing to photograph is probably cats. Because I'm that person. But it changes. Events that are well put together with happy people rock.

Ermahgerd dark chocolate all the way!

[TheRocket]

If you could give your husband one super power what would it be?

Complete invincibility. Because I want nothing bad to happen to him, ever.

[TheRocket]

How's your day going? Your week? What's the worst anyone's ever mispronounced your name? What's your middle name?

My day is happy. I am extremely tired after a fun filled Fourth of July with my American family and friends. Got to eat BBQ, light fireworks up and play Hero Quest all night. I ate too fast and too much, which I assume is an American tradition so I will roll onto couch-bed and proceed to watch Super Natural until I fall asleep.

My week is going fairly decent. Had a minor surgery which went well as far as I can tell, so it's been slow just resting and healing up. A little bothered that I didn't realize it would take a few weeks to heal, and now my super amazing awesome work out extravaganza is being put on hold again. But life could be much worse and I am blessed that me and my loved ones are happy and healthy.

People have extremely creative ways to pronounce my name. I got Seabiscuit and Soybean over the past few weeks. My middle name is equally Irish, and equally as likely to be pronounced wrong. Before getting married I had a solid Irish name through and through.

[Duckay]

Off-topic: a friend of mine is a teacher and once a student high-fived her for knowing how to pronounce "Siobhan" right off the bat.

On-topic: what's a skill or talent you have that we'd be surprised to hear about?
