1. How did you come up with your internet nickname?

Valan is the name of my main character in the novel I wrote. I keep meaning to get around to re-writing it because I don't like it anymore. HB are my initials.

2. What is your favorite dessert?

Cheesecake, especially the flavored ones like raspberry chocolate or mint.

3. Andy Warhol said that everyone has 15 minutes of fame. What is your 15 minutes?

I was there for the shooting of Nine Inch Nail's Hurt video when he refilmed it in Omaha, NE. Nobody even knew he was doing it until we got there. The first 250 people in line 2 hours before the concert got it. You can see my arm in the video.

4. What is your favorite holiday & why?

Tough call between Christmas, because I can decorate all sparkly and shiny, and Halloween because I love spooky things!

5. What are your superstitions?

I won't walk under a ladder; I won't wear my Avalanche jersey on game day during the playoffs. Otherwise I'm anti-superstitious - I love black cats and 13 is my lucky number, but I guess those are superstitions too.

6. What is the worst present you ever received?

When I was younger I made a deal with my sister that if she got me a Barbie for Christmas she could play with it, so she got me the Barbie that she wanted!

7. If you could be any profession, what would you be?

Forensic psychologist, or really just about anything in forensics except pathologist or entymologist.

8. What subject(s) do you know more about than most people?

Serial killers, forensics, and vampires :vampireL: (No, really I'm not psycho! Really!)

9. What's the most recent movie you've seen? Did you like it?

Queen of the Damned - if you like Anne Rice's books you will be disappointed, if you don't know her books you will probably be confused. But Stuart Townsend does an excellent job of portraying Lestat!

10. Confession time! What strange thing(s) do you do for/with your cats that non-cat people just wouldn't understand?

I have full conversations with them, and I talk for them (generally not in the conversations I have with them) like I will tell my husband in the kitty voice that he needs to pet Ophelia "Daddy - Pet me NOW!"

11. Bonus question - Compliment the person who posted before you did.

Melissa - you are just too cool for words!
7CozyCats - I really like how you are willing to take chances and stand up for what you believe in.

It was too cool! The best part was being able to be that close to the stage (2nd row) and not get crushed in the mosh pit. I can usually handle being up front, but that pit is just too intense. We were glued to MTV for months waiting for that video to come out. And yes, he really is that gorgeous and charismatic in real life...*drool*

Ok, now I'm sounding like a groupie! Or just another obsessive NIN fan!

Sorry for the digression - we better get back to the real thread!
