If Hector
Lived on Earth in 2013
Hector has
been magically transported from Joya d'Arena to modern day Earth. (Hey, it
could happen…) So, what does he think of our world and his new life?
Hector's celebrity crush:
Adele. He has a thing for
gorgeous, powerful, full-figured women. (Runner-up: Beyoncé)
Top Destination Vacation:
Sonoma
County, California. He loves to go wine-tasting. The rolling vineyards and
rugged, tidepool-ridden coastline remind him of his childhood home.
Favorite book:
Architecture:
Form, Space, and Order by Francis D.K. Ching. He's a nerd, okay?
Favorite movie:
Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows, Part 2. Hector is quite moved by the themes of friendship and
self-sacrifice in this last HP installment.
Hobbies:
Basketball,
rock-climbing, AutoCAD design, reading (especially nonfiction).
Favorite TV Show:
He tried to
watch Game of Thrones, but he had a bit of a PTSD reaction to some of
the memory-inciting violence. So he prefers The Walking Dead, which is still
action-adventure but more escapist for him. He thinks zombies are hilarious.
The thing he loves most about our world:
Guns. Even
better than the bow and arrow for long-distance defense! He took his first gun
(a used Winchester Model 1895 rifle) completely apart and put it back together
again, just to see how it worked. He NEVER keeps it loaded.
The thing he hates most about our world:
Corrupt
politicians.
Hector's favorite songs:
-When
thinking of the events of The Crown of
Embers: Too Close
by Alex Clare
-When
thinking of the events of The Bitter
Kingdom: (Everything I
Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams. Why yes, this IS the cheesiest song
ever written. But can you blame a guy who is *that much* in love?
So there you
have it. Hector in our world. Hmmm, maybe this would make a good sit-com. We
could call it New Boy. Or Modern Guard. The Hector Diaries? Okay, you're right, that's a really bad idea.
:)
