"So babe, lets get comfortable. You got a nickname I can call you by?"[/font]
Bridget is fine, though close friends often call me Bee or Bridge. My fian—husband calls me Pigeon, but only he’s permitted to use that one.
"Well, can't say it doesn't fit you. From the looks of you, I could think of just a few better. I'm just gonna call you babe for this interview. You mind? Great. Has anyone ever told you you look like.."[/font]
I would rather you just call me Bridget, but whatever. People tell me I look like a model named Doriana Agacinska. I’ve never looked her up so I don’t know.
".. Yeah, actually. You must get that a lot. You're kind of hot, I gotta say. But for the ears out there listening, you wanna explain what's cooking?"[/font]
Thank you…? Well, I haven’t cut my hair ever, so it reaches my waist. It’s thick and brown and I usually keep it down, unless I’m having a busy day then it’s in a braid.
"You are too cute. You wear this kind of stuff often, or is this just for me?"[/font]
I’m a pretty simple person when it comes to clothes. I’m a jeans and a tee shirt kind of person, though lately I steal my man’s shirts more than usual to cover my giant baby-belly. Most maternity shirts are too girly for my tastes so I stick to stealing Eli’s stuff.
"Ohh. Are you hitting on me? Haha. No, seriously, what are you? Gay or straight? You look kinda like a swinger, if you don't mind me saying..."[/font]
I am definitely not hitting on you nor am I a swinger; I’m newly married to a man named Eli.
"Damn. GET SOME! Hah. You wanna smoke? Drink? I got some drugs in the back if you want. -winks-"[/font]
Absolutely not. Even if I wasn’t pregnant I wouldn’t want any.
"... Oh, so you must be a virgin, huh?"[/font]
…Do you see my pregnant belly? Unless it’s the second coming of Christ then I am not a virgin.
"Knew it. So, you got any secrets? Come on, you can tell me. Promise this interview won't leak anywhere."[/font]
Don’t sound so victorious, it doesn’t take a genius to see that I’m not a virgin. I don’t really have many. I mean, there is stuff I don’t talk about but that’s because it’s a soar subject. I don’t talk about my parents much; they died when I was a teenager. They were wonderful people and gave me the best childhood I could have, but it still hurts to talk about them. That’s about it though. With a husband like Eli, who can’t keep secrets to save his life, I don’t have very many.
"..Ouch. Okay, don't be so cold kid. There's always a way out of shit like that. Got any ambitions, babe?"[/font]
I want to travel a lot more. I spent my childhood travelling Africa and New Zealand with my parents, so I would love to go back. It would be nice to work for National Geographic’s Magazine in the future so I get paid to travel everywhere and take photos. Short term goals are to make sure I keep me and my baby healthy.
"Okay, okay. Don't get too excited. Half of those weren't even real questions.. Okay let's see. Oh, here's a good one. Describe yourself in five or more words. Easy, right? You could go more into detail if you want, I don't mind one bit."[/font]
I’m not excited, and why ask them if they aren’t “real”? Who the hell hired you? Describing myself though…Hmm...Well, I know who I am and I’m not afraid to show who that is. I’m confident in myself and I recognize my weaknesses. I tend to come across as very cold and I’m not very expressive around people. I’m not a very personal kind of person and I’m not overly social, so people usually think I’m a bit of a bitch. I’m a huge pessimist and I always assume the worst, even if there is nothing bad going on. I’m a loyal and intuitive person though. I trust my gut and in most circumstances it was the right thing to do. I am human though, so I do make mistakes with my intuition.
"Couldn't agree more babe. Alright. Um.. Oh, here's another. Five likes and dislikes?[/font]
Don’t call me babe.
I like keeping things simple. After Eli photography is the love of my life; I’m almost never without my camera. I love being out doors; camping, hiking, climbing tress, swimming, whatever. As long as it’s outside. I love travelling, which I said before, and exploring and adventure. I used to hate being pregnant but now I love the feeling. It’s quite miraculous.
As far as dislikes go, I can’t stand when people bring scissors near my hair. I’m not a big fan of dresses either, especially if the dress is for a grand event. I really don’t like being the center of attention or when people fret over me; it makes me uncomfortable. I hate clowns and spiders too.
".. Kinky! So last question. Gimme the details, how'd you get to where you are today?"[/font]
My parents met when my mother, Justine, was in her last year of university. She was studying the occult and my father, Arthur, was an archaeologist. They were both offered spots on an exhibition to Africa and that’s how they met. They became really close friends during the exhibition and finally married when my mom was twenty-six. I was born two years later in New Zealand, where we lived for two years before moving to Africa. I went with my parents rather than with family in America and spent my first few years of life living on a campsite with a bunch of scientists. I lived in Africa for most of my childhood, getting to go hiking through the jungle with my parents. I wasn’t always allowed to go with them, but every now and then we got to climb things. They also asked me to take photos for them, which was when my love of photography started to develop. We were still in Africa when my sister Jasmine was born; I was eight. I remember being excited about having someone to play with. We were really close growing up because we were the only English speaking kids around. It was a fun childhood. I was home schooled and got to learn practical life skills at the same time. We moved around a lot but we got used to it.
When I was fifteen Jasmine and I were sent to Denver to live with my uncle for a few months. My parents had to go somewhere dangerous so they wanted to make sure we were safe. We were with Uncle Dennis for three months before we got news that my parents had died of Malaria. It was a big blow for me with how close we were. It was really hard, especially because I had to start attending a real school. I hated high school at first, and I hated Eli when I first met him. I didn’t want anything to do with anyone and I certainly didn’t want to make friends. He kept pushing for a date and after a few months of listening to him I finally agreed, just to shut him up. He started growing on me though, and hanging out with him became lots of fun. We dated all throughout high school and were a pretty solid couple despite our drastic differences. Being with him started filling the hole my parents’ death left. After a lot of discussion we decided to go to California for school and started at Balston University. After six years of dating Eli I found out I was pregnant, which was right before the start of this year. I was terrified at first but Eli’s optimism is infectious. We recently got married too.
"Awe, well. Least you're still alive. Got yourself, right? That's the spirit. We'll look at your interview and give you the results, so sit tight for a few minutes, okay? And don't you dare think about leaving. I'll find you and interview you again. Don't get pissy with me, I'm just the goddamn interviewer."[/font]
