1. What would you pick as a major, if you could go back to college and do it again? 
Haha.
Hahahahaha.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Ha.
Do you know how often I think about this? Did you know that one of my plans was to try to convince the president of the U of I to let me remain as a perpetual undergrad to “bring publicity to the school”?
Did you forget I actually DID go back to college because I’m that kind of person?
(I’d probably get an English degree.)

2. Who is the one celebrity with whom you would most like to have an in depth conversation? 
DOES LEIBNIZ COUNT?

3. If you could make a living doing ANYthing, what would that be? 
Walking/running. And I’d be damn good at it.

4. What’s your all-time very favorite dessert? 
I like candy in general, but if we’re talking actual desserts that one might order at a restaurant, I’d say German chocolate cake.

5. How many pairs of jeans do you own?
Like three.

6. What is your favorite flower, and why? 
Sunflowers. I have no idea what they smell like, but they’re giganto and pretty.

7. What book has most changed your life? 
I don’t know.

8. What is your least favorite vegetable?
Of the vegetables I’ve tried, celery is the nastiest.

9. If you could take a nonstop first class flight to any destination, where would you pick to land? 
South pole. Fight me.

10. If your 15 minutes of fame included a stint on American Idol, what song would be your trademark solo? 
I would LOVE to sing a Coldplay song, but unfortunately they’re not in my register. So if I wanted to sound “good,” I’d pick “Achilles, Come Down.”

11. If you could pick one former friend (who has remained elusive in this wild Facebook world) to reunite with, who would you unearth? 
Anastasia Pennington. My best friend in elementary school before she moved away.

12. You have been awarded the time off from work and an all-expenses paid week anywhere in the United States. The catch is that it must be somewhere you have not been before. Where do you choose to visit? 
NYC.

Self-loathing. TiKToK scrolling. Riverdale.

14. The best kind of cookie is: 
Those seven-layer cookies my mom makes. So freaking good.

Kindness towards animals (especially cats). That’s one of the many reasons I love Nate.

16. Have you ever looked back at your life and realized that something you thought was a bad thing was actually a blessing in disguise? 
Probably the whole UBC garbage. It got me the teaching position at the U of I, which got me the teaching position here.

17. What is the most beautiful place you’ve ever visited? 
Not sure.

19. Name three things you are thankful for right now. 
My ability (physically, financially, time-wise, etc.) to walk/run as much as I do, my family, and the fact that my existence is fairly stable.

20. Have you ever participated in a three-legged race? 
Not that I remember?

21. When you are at an event that plays the National Anthem, do you place your hand over your heart?
Sure.
