1. What do you miss the most about being 17?
17 was really a tumultuous time for me. I do miss going to school sometimes...17 is weird because you have to prepare for your adult life without being entirely sure who you want to be as an adult. I wanted to be a journalist at 17, but now, it's pretty good that didn't pan out. I'd be unemployed with little chance for re-employment in the field. I miss spending time with Liz.
2. What do you like the most about being a grown-up?
Doing what I want. If I feel like eating ice cream for breakfast no one tells me no. There's a fine line between doing what you want and being irresponsible, but I like the little indulgences. Also owning a car and driving. It is so much more awesome than I ever dreamed, and I wish I hadn't procrastinated so long in getting my license.
3. If you wrote a biography what would you title it?
Working title? The Girl with the Most Cake.
4. When did you feel the least like yourself?
When I'm actually arguing with someone. I don't really do arguements. I am opinionated but believe that people are entitled to be the same. I normally take the "never shall the twain meet" stance. There's no real point in trying to change someone's mind, especially when it comes to the biggies...politics and religion. Once in a great while I have to argue with someone, and I'm just not into it. I hate that I have to do it.
5. What gives you hope?
It's cliche, but my kids. I see the wonder the world inspires in their eyes and it helps me to be less jaded.
