Q:

What is your favorite element?

A:

Definitely air. It's the medium of thought.

Ethereal. Invisible. And even better than air,

I love heights. I'm the opposite of someone with

acrophobia. Space travel sounds appealing.

Q:

Which element do you like least?

A:

Water. It makes me nervous. You can't walk on it.

Both my parents are Pisces so perhaps that explains ...

I'm a terrible swimmer.

Q:

Being a Leo, do you feel at home with fire?

A:

I like light, but not heat. I don't even like hot

sauce. I could never see myself as a pyromaniac.

Q:

Which brings us to earth, what associations do you have with it?

A:

The earth has always supported me in all my

endeavors. I trust it.
