Jean Oram: Profiled
Posted on December 20th, 2009 8 commentsHey, I got profiled!–in a good way. There were no hunky men at a police station trying to figure out the motivations and psychological rumblings behind the woman makes up the enigma Jean Oram. Nope, not this time.
Aspiring author and blogger, J. Lea Lopez of the blog Jello World asked me to fill out her writer’s questionnaire. Every month she shows off an aspiring darling, and as it happens, December is my month. Yes, you heard right. I am sharing words of wisdom, insider trading tips (okay, not really), what makes me tick (or write), as well as spilling the beans on my library boyfriend over on J. Lea’s blog. So pop on over, there’s free hot chocolate with marshmallows and maybe a little light entertainment.
P.S. Here’s a strange fact, speaking of Jello, I really suck at making Jello. Yes, it’s true. I don’t know why. I can make layered cakes and brownies and nanaimo bars (For my American readers, these are a three layer bar with chocolate, coconut and graham wafer crumbs for the bottom layer, thick pudding for middle, and chocolate for the top.) from scratch, but don’t ask me to make Jello (or Rice Krispie squares). There’s some weird force field around me and simple treats that most 5-year-olds can master.
See this? Yeah, I can’t do that. Now you know my deepest, darkest secrets and must share yours.

LOL
I love it! I must admit I’ve mastered Jello & Rice Krispie Squares. I do have some troubles with basics like walking through doorways without rapping my shoulder off the frame. Or vacuuming without running over my toes at least once. Your basic klutz stuff. Hmmm, I used to be an athlete too! -

Great interview. You sound like a very interesting person – someone I’d like to get to know. (Does that sound like a pick up line … would that be wrong?)
I enjoyed reading both your answers and your writing sample.

Congratulations on being profiled! It sounds like almost as much fun as those hunky men at the police station.
I am curious about what nanaimo bars are… -
Great profile Jean!
I was wondering about the nanaimo bars, too…
-
Ouch! You poor gal. But, fear not. We all run into doorways from time to time. And at least it’s entertaining for other people.

Christopher W., you are a nut. Possibly someone I’d like to get to know. Coffee?

Thanks, Suzette. Nanaimo bars are a Canadian dessert, I suppose. They are a three layer bar. The bottom is graham wafer, chocolate and coconut. The middle is a sort of pudding and the top layer is chocolate. They are yummy. And I won’t mention how much butter and sugar goes into them!

Thanks, TK. I did sort of wonder if people would know about nanaimo bars. Now I know! (I just went and slipped the description in the post.)
