• The unnecessary drama. Some drama happens (that’s life, and I’m glad fellow Tumblrs are there for support/guidance), but cripes, there’s no need to jump all over other people for having a different viewpoint/style/etc.

• Steak. Medium rare. I’m sure my colon would thank me later. 

• A month in the Mediterranean, exploring old cities, reading on white beaches, and photographing and eating everything. 

• Holy crap, Will. Do you know how many goddesses there are? I’m going to choose Calliope, because she carries a book everywhere she goes. And because I know this will make thefootlightclub giggle. 

• Eclectic comfort. Is that a style? Our new place is very contemporary, but once we get all of our crap into it, it’s going to be reminiscent of Eclectic Comfort, too. (If I put capitals on it, it becomes a thing, no?)

• …divide by pi, carry the one… 

Favorite alcoholic beverage?

• Ice cold beer in the summer, red wine in the winter. Or Bloody Marys, extra spicy. Or margaritas. I think I have a problem. 

• If I didn’t have to consult with the Husband, it would be Elliot for either a girl or a boy. Somehow, I suspect he would veto this 100%.

• All of them. But I would happily eat only brie for the rest of my life. 

• 16 and Pregnant. 

• The national rep for our local union. I very much dislike her with all of my being. 

Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr?

• Tumblr. Without hesitation. I stopped using Twitter months ago, and I rarely log into Facebook longer than is required to post photos of my kid to appease the grandparents.

If you had to spend the rest of your life with only one person, who would it be and why?

• The Professor from Gilligan’s Island, because he could make anything we could possibly need. Except for something to get us off the island, of course. (I don’t know why we’re trapped on an island in this scenario, but I’ve decided we are.)

What is one of the first popular songs you remember loving as a child?

• I’ll do you one better. The first tape I ever bought was Belinda Carlisle’s Heaven on Earth. I used to be able to rewind it exactly to the beginning of Circle in the Sand and I Get Weak. 

If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be and why?

• 23. On the cusp of real life, but not so saddled with student debt that I couldn’t do anything. Still adventurous and willing to explore anything.

What would you name the autobiography of your life?

• It Only Looks Like I’m In Charge

You have a 10 minute speech to give at a high school, what is it about?

• You’re going to feel like a fraud for the next ten years. It’s okay. So will everyone else. 

What one thing would you tell your 7th grade self?

• You’re not as unfortunate looking as you think you are. It would help if you put down the books and went outside. Or at least sit outside to read, Self. You’re pasty. 

Favorite city in the world and why.

• I don’t feel well travelled enough to answer this one. I do love Old Quebec City, though. 

Favorite eligible bachelorette from Flavor of Love.

• I feel very fortunate to be unable to answer this question. 

Can you drive a stick?

• Sadly, no. My uncle tried to teach me once. All I remember is stalling at a stop sign, looking up and seeing a bus bearing down on us in the rearview mirror. 

My questions for you:
