Crash Into Me

Christin's Interview

1. If you could take a job as a movie critic that paid less than you teaching job, would you take the critic job or keep on teaching? Why?
I would keep teaching, even if the movie job was MORE money. This one is easy. First of all, I am not a very good writer, and I'd find it difficult to keep the reviews fresh and interesting. Second, I would have to watch too much crap. And third, I love teaching, it is extremely rewarding.
2. The Godfather is your favorite movie. Why?
I have a review of it in my archives from blogger. I could write a paper about why this is the finest movie ever made, from the cast, to the dialogue, to the soundtrack, to the style, etc. etc. But I guess the main reason is that it is so interwoven with themes like family, and honor. The mafia, for all it shortfalls (such as crime:)), gets those things right. Plus Al Pacino and Marlon Brando playing off one another? Come on!
3. What is your favorite personality trait of Lacey's?
Wow. This is a tough question. I could write a book about everything I love about Lacey. I would have to say though that number one is her sweetness. Lacey has the ability to turn any situation, bad or good, into the best of times, and it's this positive outlook, and ability to be nice to everyone (and make it real...some people are fake, and it's annoying, but not Lacey) that drew her to me. I have the uncanny ability to always be melancholy, and Lacey has changed me in this way. You can't help but have a good time when you are around her. She makes everyone feel special somehow.
4. What was the best thing you learned from living in Moscow?
What it is like to have a solid group of Christian friends. I never had that before. The accountability, comeraderie, and good times are second to none. I loved those years in Moscow, precisely because of the people.
5. What do you miss the most about Indiana/living close to your family?
Really what I miss, is just seeing them. I never get to see Joel, or my sister and brother-in-law, or spend time with my parents. That plus the fact that they can't spend time with Lacey and I, so they can't get to know her, is really a bummer sometimes. Otherwise, I really love Monroe.
