25 Random Things About Surefire
So my CP Karmela challenged me to write 25 random things (from the insanity that is Facebook) about my character Surefire in the story I'm currently revising. So here goes ... I'm channeling Surefire as I type. :)
- My mom is a former Olympic gymnist and my father is a retired general.
- At 16, I broke my nose and leg and dislocated my right knee when I missed on the balance beam during the Olympic trails.
- I have a twin sister Heather.
- I have two different colored eyes: one green, the other blue.
- I don't like cats, especially my sister's.
- I graduated from University of Maryland College Park with a degree in Criminology.
- For the first time when I was 18, I played a shooting game at a carnival and didn't miss a shot. I then tried out the dart game and the watergun balloon game and won everytime. It was then that I started to realize I had a special talent.
- My talent is that I can hit an object with a gun or any weapon. I never miss my mark.
- After college, I was recruited by Ultra Security (U-Sec)—a private security company specializing in preternatural crimes.
- I hate health food, expecially grapefruit, yogurt, and spinach salads. When I was in gymnastics, I wan't allowed to eat any sweets or fast food to stay thin and in shape. Now I splurge on fast food and Mexican food in particular.
- I love chips and queso dip.
- If I could date any Hollywood celebrity it would be Gerard Butler. I've seen 300 about 15 times.
- I'm 5'2" and people underestimate me because of my height, which I use to my advantage.
- I love action and mob films.
- Secretly, I want to be a Bond girl.
- CSI is my favorite show.
- I love challenging men that I meet to play against me in shooting games at the arcade or on the Playstation. I love watching their faces when I beat them.
- I was brought up on classical music and opera, which is what my parents prefered. After my accident, I started listening to grunge, rock, and some alternative music.
- I love to dance, but mostly I do it in my room by myself. I hate going out to clubs and haven't had the time since I started working.
- My favorite book is The Outsiders.
- My favorite movie character is Trinity from The Matrix.
- Right now, I'm focused on my career and don't have time for a relationship, so Heather please stop trying to set me up with your "friends."
- I want a Great Dane someday.
- I punched the creator of Girls Gone Wild when he asked me to show my breasts at a bar during college.
- I was in jail overnight for stealing a CD at a mall when I was in high school. My father made them hold me overnight. I never stole anything again. It was the worse night of my life.

#24: that's my girl!
I punched the creator of Girls Gone Wild when he asked me to show my breasts at a bar during college.
That alone says she's a woman after my own heart. ;-)
Next time just shoot the loser from Girls Gone Wild. What a parasite.
Interesting that CSI is up there as the top show. I'd have figured you'd get ticked at some of the trickery they use that doesn't really exist. Cool interview though. Maybe we should all put our protagonists through that interview! Thoughts?
Yeah, Surefire is a spitfire. :P
Nick, I asked her about CSI and she does get annoyed with their exaggerated modes of find the killer, but at least everything is generally wrapped up in the end and it makes her feel that much smarter when she recognizes their mistakes. Not to mention, she's living with her sister and it's the only show Heather will watch with her and not bitch since Heather played a very attractive "guest" cadaver in one episode.
