taking time out from design for memes is always a good idea.
Poliana's interview thingamajig:
1) why did you choose to come to philadelphia for design school?
I wish I had some kind of thoughtful answer behind this, but the truth is I applied to PhilaU because they sent me a whole bunch of crap in the mail and they had students call me and everyone was really nice. I actually wanted to go to FIT, PU was my second choice and Moore was my third. So i didnt get into FIT so PU it was. I just knew that I didnt want to stay in PR because i wanted to see rock shows. hahaha. also, i figured that philadelphia was close enough to new york and i could go up whenever i wanted. but i really havent done that at all.
2) what makes you the happiest about having a little brother? the least happy?
hmm.. i think everything about him makes me happy. he is so cute and my mom really wanted to have another baby so since i knew it made her happy it automatically makes me happy. the least happy? that my mom doesnt have the freedom she had before and she cant just come and visit me and stuff like that...i guess just general selfish things... it was just the two of us for 21 years and now i have to share her. haha.. but i know hes gonna be the coolest kid ever,
3) who is your best friend here in philly, other than your boyfriend? why?
hmmm.....i dont think i have like ONE best friend i have a nice group of ladies that i rely on for survival..my friend andrea because she is fucking hilarious and politically incorrect and i can go shopping with her and be a total girl. my friend angela because she is the exact opposite of me in some ways, shes my idealist side... all the things that id like to do she gets down to it and shes like just fucking do it... she doesnt "ground" me, as much as she umm lifts me up? that sounded corny but whatevs.... and lani because shes really smart and im hoping some of that will rub off on me. shes also the only person i can indulge my guilty pleasure of retarded shmelebrity gossip... but yeah. i guess thats it.
4) what is your favorite skill? your best skill?
hmmm..... i dont know how to answer this question....my favorite skills are prolly my sweet design skills..hahha. im such a nerd but its true... i cant think of anything else...i used to draw and write a lot but i dont anymore, which sucks about growing up but i censor myself too much...i dunno.. i also have pretty sweet cooking skills... i just made some fucking delicious arroz con habichuelas... and also uhh im gonna stop cause im rambling.. is that a skill?
5) who is your hero / role model, other than a family member?
wack... all these questions are so hard!...the truth is i dont think i have any...except for my mom... my role model has always been a combination of a bunch of people because im too scattered and i want to do and be too many things in life. was that a cop out answer? cause its the truth.
oh, and if I had to learn a book by heart, it would most definitely be le petit prince. along with poetry by julia de burgos and federico garcia lorca.
