I've never watched it, even though I read so much about it and I have the first season on DVD (I won it in a raffle). Looks great though.

OMG I love older!Willow! It sounds she's a great mum! Will she have more kids, do you think? She's only 36 here; that's plenty of time to have some more. Her girls have lovely names, too. Meradith Grace does fairly common, though I love Shoshanna. You know, your interview has inspired me to do older!Cody. 1. Name? Cody. Cody Jayne Terri Fields. My maiden name is Montgomery. 2. Date of birth and age? 30th June, 1939. I'm 39. 3. Any piercings/tattoos/other body modifications? No. No piercings, no tattoos. 4. Do you have a significant other? My husband of 2 years, Gary. 5. Do you have children? If not, do you want them in the future? I have two sons. My eldest is Veasna, who's 4 years old. I adopted him as a single mother while he was still a baby in Cambodia. His name means "Lucky" in Khmer, the Cambodian language; I fell in love with it as soon as I heard it. Poor thing's just realised that he's adopted. One of his school friends made a comment about him looking different to me and Gary, which raised some pressing questions. And I don't think having a new baby in the house has helped, either. Alexander is 2 months old. 6. What were your grades like in primary and secondary school? I was good at Science and Maths, I got As and Bs in those subject. But I received Ds in subjects like English and Art. 7. Did you do post-secondary education? If so where and what degree do you have? I have a PHD in Herpetology. 8. Where is your hometown? Where else have you lived? Where do live now? I lived in Tedia up until I was 18 when I moved to The City to go to university. While I was in the midst of adopting Veasna, I lived in Phnom Penh in Cambodia for 3 months or so. I now live in The City again with my family. 9. What is the worst physical pain you've felt? I've had a few snake bites throughout my career, which can pretty painful sometimes, especially when it's poisonous. The trick is to always carrying antidotes and medical supplies! The other worst pain I've had is childbirth. I will never ever give birth again! 10. What is your favorite holiday? I'm not sure. I like the herpetology official holiday. Hug a (Non-poisonous) Snake Day! 11. What is your least favorite food? Snake meat. I think it is so cruel to eat snakes, but I would eat it if it was absolutely necessary. You know, if I was lost in a jungle with no food or water. 12. Describe the happiest day in your life. Meeting Gary. I will never forget that day. The morning had been tinged with sadness, as I was presenting to the Herpetology Society a new species of snake I had discovered in Cambodia. I named it the Monty Montgomery snake, after my father who died 17 years ago. So obviously I was thinking of him and I was nervous about my speech. But in the front row was a journalist, working on an newspaper article about the snake. At the end, he interviewed me and we just got on like a house on fire. We've been inseperable ever since. <3 13. Do you play any instruments? If so, what? No, I'm not a musical person at all! 14. Hair color/eye color? I have blonde hair and brown eyes. 15. Have you ever had braces? No.

"I measured him as soon as he came out." I laughed like crazy at that! Mrs. Bass would totally do that! Actually, could I steal that idea for my Mrs. Bass? She has a daughter in my ficverse. It's really nice that you ship Remora/Bass. You've made them into such an adorable couple.

beth: Cody sounds like she grew up to be a really amazing woman. Then again, that's no surprise, considering who her father was. It was a bit insensitive of Veasna's friend to say that he looks different from his parents. I know they're just kids, but still, that's hurtful. It is so cool the way Cody shares her Monty's love of snakes, and even sweeter that she named a new species after him. The story of how she and Gary met is one of the most romantic tales I've ever heard - I certainly hope you'll keep it in mind for a future fanfic project. @seymour: Your interview makes me wonder why Mrs. Bass and Mr. Remora isn't canonical. They're so much alike, with their eccentric obsessions, you just know they'd get along splendidly. Something tells me that Mr. Remora has choked on a banana more than once. LOL. "I measured him as soon as he came out." I laughed like crazy at that! Mrs. Bass would totally do that! She absolutely would! michelle: It's interesting that Reverie doesn't wish to be a mother, but is still close with her younger siblings. And how awesome that she got to play such an important role in the births of Adelaide and Meredith. (I love the name, Adelaide, btw. It's so Victorian!) Do you think Reverie will ever want kids of her own, once she's older and more settled in her life?

Do you think Reverie will ever want kids of her own, once she's older and more settled in her life? Reverie tries not to judge her parents for having her while they were still teenagers. Yeah, she does want kids one day, but not until she is older and more settled.

Mrs. Bass and Mr. Remora were sharing a banana at one of Nero's concerts once in TAA. So maybe it is canon. I believe in Michelle's ficverse, they were once married to each other but divorced and married other people.
