Sitting here, chewing on a mouthful of Bilar (Swedish candy), and staring at my computer screen, I realize that a whole week of adventure is gone. I only have about five months and three weeks left.
(excuse me, I need to grab another handful of Bilar...)
As I was saying, time is cruising by at a break-neck pace and, if things continue to go this quickly, I don't think that I will be ready to come home when time comes to a close...
It's far too early to get misty-eyed about this whole thing ending though- so, now... on to the main event.
Instead of blabbering on about recent events in paragraph form, I've decided to have a little interview question and answer session with myself. I was hoping that some major magazine would have contacted me by now for a real interview, but since Vogue is busy at the moment, I will conduct my own interview- for my own (imaginary) magazine (which I just named 'Vivogue'- when directly translated, 'Vivogue' in Viv-language, means 'Viv-in style'-). Look for Vivogue coming to a newsstand near you.
Here's the interview:
Vivogue Rep: So, Vivian, we hear that you're on an art trip. Tell our readers what it's like to be away from your small town.
Vivian: (delicately brushing her long, beautiful hair from her beautiful blue eyes) It's funny you should ask. My trip has been filled with plenty of excitement and adventure so far. But, let's just say we don't have money-stealing gypsies back home in Curlew.
Vivogue Rep: If you could tell our readers (your fans) one thing, what would it be?
Vivian: Thanks for reading Vivogue...and...if you ever get a chance to travel to Sweden, you definitely should. Oh, and plan on getting lost in Stockholm.
Vivogue Rep: How is the painting going?
Vivian: Good. I have been sketching each day and even started doing some small painting-sketches today. I plan on working on a large painting of some houses tomorrow.
Vivogue Rep: What's the best part about this trip so far?
Vivian: Getting to know my Swedish relatives better...and Bilar.
Vivogue Rep: What's a major difference between Swedes and Americans?
Vivian: Swedes are quiet and they're not chatty. In fact, they'd prefer it if you keep to yourself. And their yards are really tidy- oh, and their strawberries are not like strawberries back home... these are small, dark red, and full of flavor. Warning: they're highly addictive.
Vivogue Rep: You mentioned getting lost in Stockholm. What did you learn from that experience?
Vivian: (laughs) I learned not to be afraid to ask for directions and to pay attention to street signs.
Vivogue Rep: How much Swedish have you learned this week?
Vivian: I’ve learned how to say “worm”, “shell”, “spider”, and “goodbye”…very useful words, obviously.
Vivogue Rep: Do you have anything you want to say to your dearest family and friends?
Vivian: Yes, I do. I love and miss you guys. Don't worry about me, I'm in good hands.
Vivogue Rep: You are so much better looking in real life.
Vivian: Thanks... I guess.
Well, that wraps it up here on this end. Tune in next Wednesday for another Exclusive Vivogue Interview.
