Well, Karrin, I don't know much about you, aside from what Harry tells me is similar to my Murphy - Connie - so... why not? *laughs* Feel free to say "damn you, Anna!" and whatnot.
I love them, though we have our... to put it mildly, disagreements. ... It's not like one would agree easily seeing one's ex-husband to marry one's baby sister. *sighs* Lisa's more than ten years younger than me. And Rick's a jerk.
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Getting the Special Investigations department into a working, functional, and effective unit. Which is willing to accept the things that we're dealing with - and accept help about that with at least granting those who'll help the benefit of the doubt.
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
Probably being assigned to SI. My life would have been totally different otherwise. Unrecognizably so, actually.
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
Practice aikido sequences for a while. Listen to news, possibly watch a movie. Read. Try to find a way to sleep, because generally, it's necessary that my brain is functional during the day. Lives, including mine, depend on it.
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
My ineptitude for family life interpersonal skills.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
My encounter with the King of the White Court.
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
There obviously is true love... at least valid enough to give people protection from White Court vampires. One and only one love - one and only one person in one's life? No.
7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
Of for God's sake... I'm barely over five feet tall, athletic. Golden-blonde hair, blue eyes. People have told me that the impression I give off initially is 'cute'. ... I am a lot stronger than I look; and have been practicing Aikido since I was eleven - I've gotten very good at it. I have piercings... one for each ear, often occupied by earrings. And I very, very, very rarely wear dresses.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
My father. He was a policeman, and he died on the job when I was eleven. I'm the oldest child... even though I've two brothers who've joined the police too, I still feel this is what I need to do.
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
Oh. Most forms of entertainment that don't end in anyone getting hurt. Refereeing a kids' soccer game in a park. Snarking at Dresden. (OK, his ego may end up bruised, but that's not the same as anyone getting hurt.) Small joys like that...
