On the Train
Too much Internet, not enough Iliad:
1) LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATRE? The Last Mountain seven months ago, because the executive producer, Tim Rockwood, is a family friend. Before that, I hadn't seen a movie in a theater in four years.
2) WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? The Iliad.
3) FAVORITE BOARD GAME? How am I supposed to know that? All my favorite games are card games.
4) FAVORITE MAGAZINE? Runner's World.
5) FAVORITE SMELLS? mint, Irish Spring soap, Axe deodorant.
6) FAVORITE SOUNDS? Lively contra music, or metal that sounds like contra music (folk metal).
7) WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD? Ashamed.
8 ) WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE? "What time is it? Did I really wake up eight hours after I fell asleep? Hallelujah, I did! My body's still working!"
9) FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE? Starbucks doesn't count, does it?
10) FUTURE CHILD’S NAME? Boy - Current Alexander [last name]; Girl - Kess Siena [last name].
11) FINISH THIS STATEMENT-IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D... live in Boston from the moment I got rich until I died, and never be shelter-insecure again!
12) DO YOU DRIVE FAST? No. I drive slow. Driving scares me.
13) DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? No, though sometimes I sleep with unstuffed animals.
14) STORMS-COOL OR SCARY? Cool.
15) WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? A silver 2000 Toyota Camery with the back fender held on by duct tape. I was in love with that car. May it rest in peace.
16) FAVORITE DRINK? Water.
17) FINISH THIS STATEMENT - IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD… do even more nothing than I do presently.
18 ) DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI? Yes.
19) IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY OTHER COLOR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE? Purple again... which WILL happen, with a streak of teal thrown in, as soon as the new piercing can handle bleach; should be very soon!
20) NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS YOU HAVE LIVED IN? Boston, Bethesda MD, Savannah GA, Burlington VT.
21) FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? MLB baseball (Go Red Sox!) and NFL football (Go Patriots!)
22) WHATS UNDER YOUR BED? The mattress or pile of blankets upon which I actually sleep.
23) WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE BORN AS YOURSELF AGAIN? Yes. There's a lot I'd do differently.
24) MORNING PERSON OR NIGHT OWL? Very strongly a morning person, by virtue of very strongly NOT being a night owl... I went to sleep at 9:30 on New Year's Eve, in the middle of a New Year's party, because that's how I roll.
25) OVER EASY OR SUNNY SIDE UP? Ew, raw yolk! Hard fried for me, please.
26) FAVORITE PLACE TO RELAX? Anyplace that's securable, windowless, and mine, and has a corner I can sit in, maybe a desk or a bed to sit under. My room in Burlington and my lair in my mother's house both meet these criteria. I'm a claustrophile.
27) FAVORITE PIE? Coconut creme.
28) FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Vanilla. Stop judging.
~If you can't join 'em, beat 'em.
