An interview by Sophocles Ibsen Riley
1. What single event has affected your life more than any other?
Hmm. The most influential event in my life was, unfortunately, the nervous breakdown I had two years ago. It made me realize the things which are important to me, the things I cannot live without, and the things in my life that are and were hurting me. More than anything, thouhg, it made me realize just how much in my life has been a gift, and how little I deserve any of it. I'm lucky. I can only hope I live up to the wonderful friends and love I have been fortunate enough to find. I know I am not worthy of them - I hope one day I will be.
2. Exactly where did you get the monicure of Nessus?
This is a long story. To sum it up: Starting in the summer after 7th grade, a good number of my friends started to call me that, after the character in the Larry Niven short stories and novels (Ringworld is the big one). Nessus is a Peirsons Puppetier, a two headed, three legged centaur like animal (sans the torso of the human) who happend to be an insanse, sociopathic bastard, but who everyone liked at first. Jee. It stuck. Starting in 9th grade, I switched my used name in school to Nessus, because it was getting confusting to people who only knew me by that name. It was shortened to Ness shortly there after, because allot of my teachers had trouble pronouncing it.
3. Have you ever experienced a perfect moment and if so when?
The perfect moment: walking along a beach (huntington island, sc), under the stars and a full moon, watching the falling stars and the phosphorus in the sea foam. Stoping between two palm trees, holding Erik's hand, and proposing to him. I know. Im a romantic sucker.
4. When and how did you realize Erik was "The one"?
There were many realizations of that. Some very early on - within the first three months or so we knew each other. How well we meshed together, the things he would say to support me, looking into his eyes and listening to his heart - saying to myself over and over "He's real." There were many moments like that. They still continue to happen. And I treasure each and every one of them.
5. Am I ever going to see you on purpose?
Why ruin the mystery? Seriously, I don't really do plans. Worse, I'm seriously much less social than I used to be - I simply dont want the time out and about because I dont enjoy it that much any more. My social life is on campus, all the other time is school work and Erik. You may plan to be at the same location I will be, and we can cordinate a meeting, but going out to go out is something I dont do any more.
