Lions and Tigers and Bears

Today was my Build-a-Bear group interview. I found out that someone will call by Friday to tell me if I get to come in for an individual interview.

Of the people being interviewed I was the oldest and, not surprisingly, the only American.

Highlights:

We each had to choose one of the stuffed animals and make it introduce itself to someone else's stuffed animal. I chose a ginger cat because he reminded me of Socrates, except that he was covered with pumpkins.

When introducing ourselves we had to name the most famous person we had ever met. I saw lots of famous people when I visited Jess last spring, but the only famous person I've come face to face with was Bruce Campbell at a book signing. Yeah, I had to explain who he was. B-grade actor? Army of Darkness? Um, he was in the last Spiderman movie...

At the end we were paired up and had to find out two things about the other person to share with the rest of the group. I was paired with the only guy in the interview. After finding out my two things I tried to make conversation with him by asking him what kind of fun stuff there is to do in Norwich. He told me that he had just turned 18 so he didn't know about the fun stuff yet. Apparently there is nothing fun to do if you are under 18 (which is the drinking age here). I told him I had to wait until I was 21 to have fun.
