rush over at the outernet interviewed me last week for his website. oh how i feel so famous! here is the interview:

Okay, maybe she’s not as famous as my last interviewee, but she’s my friend and she’s punkrock, so I thought this time I’d interview elizabeth of Pretty Helmet.

RM : How are you this afternoon?

LF : Feeling well. The “insert animal name here” flu passed our house this year.

RM : Tell me a little about yourself.

LF : I am a 27 year old wannabe rock star. I’m married to my best friend and we have two dogs and three cats. It is a typical zoo at our house.

RM : Do you have anything special going on in your life right now?

LF : My husband and I just found a house and will be moving soon. Once you get married you realize that the “exciting” things in your life just aren’t what they used to be. I remember getting all giddy about going to rock shows and now it’s like hell yeah! We’re getting a new handle for the toilet.

RM : Are you currently involved in any artistic endeavors?

LF : My cousin (who is stationed in Italy) and I are in the process of making a website for our grandma. She’s all kick ass and spends most of her days on the golf course so it is only suitable that she have a blog. We’re just hoping she won’t post those naked pictures of us in the bathtub.

RM : What do you do for a living?

LF : I am in real estate managing one of the tallest buildings in downtown Birmingham. Its not as glamorous as say a hooker but a girl can dream.

RM : If you weren’t doing that, what would you want to be doing?

LF : Besides hooking? Probably graphic design. I went to school for Visual Communications but when I got out there was nothing in the field. I really didn’t have the ability to start my own business so I went into real estate.

RM : Do you have any hobbies that you really enjoy?

LF : I love my cameras like they are my children. In fact, if I had kids I’d be all “no little billy, you can’t have a cookie because mommy is cleaning her lomos”. I also love blogging. It is a very self absorbed hobby and i looooove talking about myself.

RM : Are there any artists you admire who do the same things you like to do?

LF : I admire my dad’s photography skills. While I was growing up he always had a camera attached to his face. I really didn’t know what he looked like until I was around 8 years old.

RM : Do you like children and do you want to have some any time?

LF : Kids are great as long as I can give them back. I would love to have children one day. It will be nice to screw up someone else’s life for a change.

RM : Do you have any big plans for the future you’d like to share?

LF : Other than being the best wife, friend, daughter that I can be, not really. I’ve given up on winning the Nobel Peace Prize and am now aspiring to win Best Bathroom Dancer.

RM : Can I borrow $10 until next payday?

LF : Yes, but there is a five thousand percent interest. Good luck, buster.
