1. COMICS OR NOVELS? Novels, but I like a little Calvin and Hobbes now and then

2. NEAT OR SLOB? Slob until I get sick of it and clean obsessively.

3. CONSERVATIVE OR LIBERAL? Liberal

4. COFFEE OR DOUGHNUTS? How about tea and a bagel?

5. CHOCOLATE OR PEANUT BUTTER? Chocolate

6. INTENTION OR ACTION? I don’t know – I have issues with this. I want to say intention is more important, but I might just be trying to make myself feel better about not taking action more often.

7. COLD OR HOT? Cold at night, warm during the day

8. TALK OR SLEEP? Caitlin’s right – if the discussion is worth it, talk over sleep. But if we’re sitting up talking about grundel-ade until two in the morning…I might just choose sleep.

9. FAST OR SLOW? Fast, usually. Some things need to be slow.

10. TOP OR BOTTOM? Bottom

11. INSIDE OR OUTSIDE? Outside. It’s tired inside.

12. STICKY OR GOOEY? Sticky. Except in the case of Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie.

13. OF YOUR FIVE SENSES, WHICH IS YOUR ALL-TIME FAVORITE? I would be seriously pissed if any of them were gone. I love them all equally.

14. WHAT PERFUME OR COLOGNE DRIVES YOU WILD WITH UNCONTROLLABLE PASSION? Um… the original Abercrombie men’s cologne. Yum. But I could be convinced otherwise.

15. BEING TOLD YOU'RE LOVED, HAVING TIME SPENT WITH YOU, GETTING A PRESENT, HAVING SOMETHING DONE FOR YOU, BEING TOUCHED. WHICH DESCRIBES YOUR GREATEST NEED? I never thought that being touched was one of them, but I’ve found out that it is. Plus, I hate getting presents.

16. WHICH IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SEASON? Mud season, but then, it’s plenty of fun to ridicule our bad luck.

17. IF YOU HAD TO KILL ONE, WHICH WOULD IT BE: A CLOWN OR A MIME? A mime. Clearly.

18. DO YOU LIKE YOUR PHOTO BEING TAKEN? Not at all.

19. WHO DO YOU THINK HAS THE MOST INTERESTING LIFE IN YOUR SOCIAL GROUP? Well, since we all spend more or less every waking hour together (and some not-waking hours), I’d say all our lives are equally interesting. Or uninteresting.

20. IN YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE LEAST APPRECIATED? Charlie thinks he’s being underappreciated.

21. DO THINGS JUST HAPPEN TO YOU, OR DO YOU CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY? Both, I think. But you can’t just wait for things to happen to you.

22. DO YOU EVER FANTASIZE ABOUT HAVING A DIFFERENT LIFE? Yeah, I guess.

23. WHAT ARE THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A RELATIONSHIP? Humor, the ability to maintain a decent conversation, chemistry.

24. WORDS, TONE AND DELIVERY, OR BODY LANGUAGE: WHICH DO YOU ABSORB FIRST? WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT? I notice tone and delivery first – that can kind of put me off. And it makes AIM conversations kind of difficult. But in the end, I agree with Caitlin – words are the most important.

25. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAID SOMETHING TO INTENTIONALLY MAKE SOMEONE MAD? I usually don’t try to make people mad. Uncomfortable, yes. Mad, no.

26. HAVE YOU EVER THROWN ANYTHING IN ANGER?...AT SOMEONE? Um, yeah, probably.

27. HOW DO YOU HANDLE CONFLICT? Yeah, I avoid it. If it’s unavoidable, though, I’ll jump right in and yell.

28. ARE YOU A GOOD COMMUNICATOR? It takes me a long time to figure out what I feel and what I want and then get my thoughts in order and put them into words, so, after a lot of thought, yeah, I can be a good communicator.

29. DO YOU THINK YOU TALK TOO MUCH? Yeah, not only do I talk too much, I say too much sometimes.

30. CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH? Yeah, it’s always better in the end to know the truth.

31. HOW OFTEN DO YOU CRY? When do I NOT cry?

32. WHAT SOUND ANNOYS YOU THE MOST? Idiots talking.

33. SOUTHPARK: YES PLEASE OR HELL NO? I’ve only ever seen one episode. I used to think it was every kind of awful but now I think it’s hysterical.

34. DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE? I’ve never seen one, but I’m willing to entertain the possibility.

35. HOW MUCH CREDIBILITY DO YOU GIVE TO YOUR DREAMS IN YOUR REAL-WORLD LIFE? Usually my dreams are so fucked up that they have no pertinence whatsoever to my real life.

36. WHAT'S THE STRANGEST OR MOST DANGEROUS THING YOU'VE DONE OUT OF CURIOSITY OR JUST TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? I think Caitlin’s got it down – DOM, part II.

37. WHERE DID YOUR PET GET ITS NAME? Megan, because my mom likes the name. Amos…because we were driving back from the dog place and talking about names and at the time I liked this guy from NC named Amos and so I suggested the name…and it stuck.

38. WOULD YOU RATHER BE SINGLE, DATING, ENGAGED, OR MARRIED? Between dating and engaged – in a relationship.

39. HOW STRESSFUL IS YOUR LIFE ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10? Probably like a 3. I don’t get stressed out that easily. I get sleep deprived and hysterical instead.

40. DO YOU OWN A GUN? HAVE YOU EVER FIRED ONE? Nope and nope.

41. SIGNIFICANCE, SELF-WORTH, OR SECURITY. WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT? Significance.

42. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERHERO POWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Selective mind-reading.

43. WHAT'S THE REAL REASON WOMEN TAKE SO LONG IN THE BATHROOM? Well, since we don’t pee, poop, or excrete anything, ever…we sit around and talk about you (women’s bathrooms are really full of plush armchairs and coffee tables.)

44. DO YOU THINK YOU'RE A GOOD DRIVER? I drive like a fucking rollercoaster. So, yes.

45. IF YOU HAD TO CLASSIFY ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS AS "I'M TAKING MY LIFE INTO MY OWN HANDS WHEN I CRAWL IN THE PASSENGER SEAT," WHO WOULD IT BE? Laura Kashian. Never drive with her. She’s a maniac in that little Jeep.

46. WHY DO YOU GO TO WORK: BECAUSE I HAVE TO OR BECAUSE I WANT TO? Because it’s awesome. And because I get paid.

47. WHO WAS YOUR FAVORITE TEACHER? WAS IT YOUR FAVORITE SUBJECT? Mr. Burnside, AP Bio. He was fucking hysterical. One time, he was talking about what you’re supposed to do when your boss comes in to observe your teaching and he started talking about hydrogen bonding or something and so he goes “And thus, the bondage…shit, I didn’t mean to say that…” – totally what you want to say in front of your boss

48. WHAT IS THE MOST PROFOUND PIECE OF ADVICE YOU'VE LEARNED IN YOUR LIFE? “Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery

49. IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO GIVE SOMEONE ELSE PARENTING ADVICE BEFORE BEING A PARENT? I wouldn’t risk it.

50. WAS THERE ANYONE IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT YOU WISH YOU HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH? Mmmm…not really. Maybe Marcus Berkowitz, sophomore year.

51. IF THEY CAME BACK INTO YOUR LIFE NOW, WOULD YOU TRY IT? No.

52. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE COLOR AND WHY? Yeah, purple’s pretty low on my favorite color list, but the color taupe really just sucks the happiness and life out of everything.

53. WOULD YOU RATHER BE PARALYZED OR HAVE AMNESIA? Amnesia, as long as someone could fill me in on my illustrious past.

54. IF YOU WERE LOCKED IN A ROOM FOR FOUR HOURS, WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO TALK WITH TO PASS THE TIME? Ben Cope-Kasten. He always comes up with totally unexpected things to talk about.

55. IF THERE WAS ONE SONG YOU HAD TO LISTEN TO OVER AND OVER, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A Million Ways, OK Go. Wait, haven’t we already done that?

56. IF IT WAS "NEVER MEANT TO BE" WOULD YOU SPEAK UP AT THE WEDDING, NOT ATTEND, OR BE SILENT? I’d probably speak up beforehand. But if it came down to it, I’d probably chicken out and not talk.

57. WHAT TOPIC CAN YOU DISCUSS WITH STRANGERS, BUT NOT YOUR FRIENDS? My mommy always told me not to talk to strangers.

58. ARE YOU PARANOID? Incessantly so.

59. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN LAUGHED AT? Like every day.

60. CAN YOU LAUGH AT YOURSELF? Yeah, I’m usually the one laughing at myself. “Do you want a dish to go with that?”

61. WHICH CHAIR WOULD YOU CHOOSE: RECLINER OR SWIVEL? I’d rather have a really big, really soft, really cushy armchair (fauteil, if you wish, or sillon – why is the word for “armchair” in my vocabulary in more than one language? Seriously?)

62. FOR WHAT PURPOSE WOULD YOU CONSIDER DYING YOUR HAIR? For kicks, because I’ve never done it before, because it means packing seven people into a sedan and driving to Portland…all good reasons.

63. SPICY OR MILD? Caliente!

64. WOULD YOU CONSIDER A TATTOO? No, because it wouldn’t look so hot on sagging, 80-year-old flesh.

65. BED: HEATED OR WATER? Neither. Regular mattress.

66. WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR PRIOR RELATIONSHIPS FAILED? I don’t really know, actually.

67. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BETRAYED? Not seriously – my friends told a guy that I liked him once…but I got over the betrayal and the guy pretty quickly.

68. WHO'S OPINION DO YOU LEAST RESPECT? George W. Bush.

69. JELL-O OR KNOX-BLOCKS? What the fuck is Knox-Blocks? Gelatin-based desserts are kind of gross in general, don’t you think?

70. FORGIVE OR FORGET? It’s easier for me to forget than to forgive, but I get there eventually.

71. WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE FUR OR THORNS? This is like asking, do you want to have people all over you all the time or never be touched again? Faced with the choice, I’d go with fur. Chinchilla fur.
