dchenes1: Where did your fear of creepy-crawlies come from?
When I was about five years old, I was lying in bed one night looking at the ceiling and a spider walked across it, throwing a distorted shadow about the size of my head. Ever since then I can't stand spiders, mostly because of how they move.
2: What's the best part of rock-climbing for you?
It's exercise I'm not competing with anybody for. I suck at competitive sports and team sports. The only person I have to compete with when I'm climbing is me. Although I have noticed that when I climb with you, I get more daring about what I climb.
3: How did you get started with the French language?
My father is fluent in French, and when I had to pick a language to take in high school, I figured I could at least get help if I sucked at French (as opposed to Spanish, which Dad doesn't speak). As it turns out, I don't suck at it.
4: What's the one thing you would have changed in your high school life?
Knowing what I know now, I would have worked harder at being myself and distinguishing who I was. I somehow ended up being "the other Deschenes kid" even though my sister is younger than me.
5: Just how many corsets DO you own, anyway?
Just one. The one I own is black and silver brocade. The LJ pictures you're hosting are of me at King Richard's Faire, being a clothes horse for a corset vendor.
