As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

At first like most little girls I wanted to be a Mommy, then as I got older an Artist and later on a Writer. Never married so no children. I am a writer and an artist of sorts. I work as a security guard in a museum so I’m a starving artist/writer.

What was your favorite food as a child? Do you eat it now? 

Chocolate and yes I still eat it. Fried chicken. I still eat that too even though I’m not supposed to but life is no fun without some food vices.

If you were invisible, where would you go?

I’d go out at midnight to the darkest, most nitty gritty rough neighborhoods in New York and take photos.

Would you rather forget everyone else’s name all the time or have have everyone for your name all the time?

Actually neither one. However now that I am older I do forget people’s names but I remember faces very well. Guess that is just aging. For some strange reason at work I get called Barbara, Brenda, Michelle, Pamela every name except DeBorah even though I’ve worked there over 7 years. Also the supervisors and the Dispatch office gets me mixed up with other African American female guards in the workplace. Sometimes I feel like saying, No We Don’t All Look Alike!  But I correct them right away.  I wish they’d just look at my ID card then there would be no confusion.  My Asian co-workers have the same problem. People on the job mix up the Filipinas and Chinese women all the time.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

I’m grateful for having the opportunity to take some wonderful pictures of Central Park and the New York skyline. Also I got some good news today so I’m looking forward to a special gift in the mail.
