DIAMONDS (MONEY AND SUCCESS)
[Deuce]- what's the first time you ever remember getting money? I may have gotten a dollar bill in a birthday card from a relative when I was very young, but the first time I remember being paid is when Mom agreed to pay me 2 cents for every trip to the garbage barrel. I think I maybe cleared a whole quarter before I got bored of it.
[Trey]- what did you do with it? Oh, hell, that was over 35 years ago--who knows!
4- what's the first thing you bought because everyone else was buying it? Barbie stuff. (Technically, it was a gift, though.)
5- what was your favorite gift from childhood? The A.A. Milne books, when I turned 6.
6- what is the most money anyone ever gave you as a child? I probably got $5 occasionally from relatives on birthdays; I don't remember.
7- what's your favorite toy from childhood? My favorite toys as a child were my jumprope and jacks set. My favorite toy that I still have ... uh, either Pink Mouse or some of the board games my parents gave me when they moved out of their house in the 90s.
8- what car do you drive now? Normally I drive a '98 Ford Ranger.
9- where do you live now? In the boonies, in the Great Flyover. (Quite literally: we're directly on the flight path of a major airport.)
10- what's the greatest thing you ever bought? My Lee Rider jeans. They cost me $15 or so about 10 years ago. I have worn them close to 1000 times.
J- what car do you most want? I'd love a jeep. Preferably one that runs on hydrogen. hah
Q- where do you most want to live? Someplace with minimal humidity.
K- what luxury (you'll probably never be able to afford) would you most like? A house on a Greek island and a private jet.
A- what do you consider the pinnacle of success? Appreciating deep-down what you have, what your life is, and being loved by others who recognize and know the real you.

SPADES (LABOR AND CAREER)
[Deuce]- what was your first job? After the Garbage Removal Debacle? :-) Outside the family, it was babysitting. Outside of that, it was shelving books at the local library.
[Trey]- how much did you make? I think I made about $1/hour for the babysitting (see, told ya I was old!), and minimum wage when I was 16 was about $2.75/hour.
4- what was your favorite job? I actually loved planning Sunday School and VBS both summers I was a CE intern at my church. I like working at the library. I still like working at libraries. ;-)
5- why did you leave it? In a very real sense, I haven't left the library. The CE thing...disillustionment caused by my sister's experiences as CE director at her church.
6- did you further your education after high school? Got me my own Master's Degree. Whooptedoo!
7- what did you study? Undergrad: BAs in Communications and History (double minors: English and Spanish). And that MLIS thing.
8- what is your current job? Cataloger/Head of Tech.Svc. at a medium-sized public library in the midwest.
9- how long have you been doing your job? This job: about 6 years. I've worked where I work since 1994, but most of that time was general reference.
10- what do you plan to eventually go to? Huh? I plan to go to...well, ultimately, I hope I get in to heaven.
J- do you like your boss? Huh. Normally, the answer would be an unqualified yes. Lately, she's been a GIANT pain-in-the-ass, though.
Q- if money were no object, what would you do? I'd probably keep doing what I do, but I'd travel a lot more too.
K- what's the hardest thing you've ever done? Stick it out, stay put, get through it.
A- what's the hardest thing you've ever done, purely out of kindness? Listened to someone I wanted to beat about the head and shoulders. If you're reading this, I'm not talking to you, but I do have one specific individual in mind.

CLUBS (WAR AND CONFLICT)
[Deuce]- are you upset about something? At this moment, things are pretty placid.
[Trey]- why does it upset you? n/a
4- are you not talking to someone? Schedule Nazi...well, I speak to her, but only to communicate information, not to actually chat. I just want to kill her. No, scratch that: I want her to go far away.
5- is someone not talking to you? Unfortunately, no.
6- were you personally affected by september 11th? Of course, though I don't know anyone who was injured or died. BIL lives in Manhattan, my niece Ellen was flying to the US that day from England, my inlaws were in Canada...it was a nightmare of logistics, but in terms of perspective, a learning experience.
7- has it changed your personal habits? Well, flying anywhere nowadays is certainly a fuck of a lot more frustrating and annoying! Otherwise...I think I'm slightly less naive politically than I was.
8- if you were drafted, would you object? If I were drafted, we'd be in more shit than I could conscientiously object to. However, I would object if Sparky were drafted!
9- can you see yourself dying for your country? I would not die for George Bush/Dick Cheney, Inc. I would, however, die to protect the freedom and ideals this country actually stands for.
10- can you see yourself dying for anything else? Yes.
J- what is the worst news you ever recieved? This is depressing. So...plock.
Q- when was the last time you cried? Today, listening to music.
K- when was the last time you hit someone? In order to hurt them--it's been a very long time. A small, joshing punch on the upper arm--maybe a couple of days.
A- have you ever genuinely wanted to kill someone? No, mostly I just want them to Go Away, get offa my cloud.
