1. What is your drug of choice?
Seltzer water. I’m in deep.
2. What’s your backstory?
I’m a writer living in Maryland with some time in Philadelphia and New York under my belt. Also, I like free samples. I always have.
3. Everyone has a “thing.” What’s yours?
Condiments on a spoon.
4. Everyone also has a karaoke song. Name yours (and don’t be shy).
I’d Do Anything for Love. Hit Me With Your Best shot is a close second, especially if I don’t have a duet partner.
5. Who are your biggest influences?
Mom and dad. Aw.
6. What is it you most dislike?
The usual…Parallel parking and people who whisper when they say something racist.
7. Whose job would you like to steal?
Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Jennifer Weiner or any combination of the three.
8. What was your best date?
So many to chose from…and it’s not that I’m bragging. It’s that it doesn’t take much to impress me. A Bud Light and some puns usually work. Let’s go with playing hooky from work to spend the day at Coney Island. At work the next day it was really hard to keep up the sick story when I had a killer shirt tan.
9. What was your worst?
Again, so many. Here’s a conversation from the tail end of one of the worst.
Him: Let me walk you home.
Me: I can get there on my own.
Him: Come on, let me walk you home.
Me: Really, don’t worry about it.
Him: Let me guess, you don’t want me to walk you home because you don’t want me to know where you live?
Me: Exactly.
Him: I hate it when that happens.
10. When I wake up in the middle of the night its because I’ve had a nightmare that I’m ___ .
Making out with someone gross. And liking it.
11. I feel my best when I’m wearing ___ .
Jeggings. Best invention of the decade as far as I’m concerned.
12. Please settle the debate: New York or LA?
New York, duh.
13. What’s on your playlist at this very moment?
I’ve Been Loving You Too Long, Otis Redding.
14. What are you watching on TV?
Oh man, this list is going to get embarrassing real quick. The Bachelor, Millionaire Matchmaker, Modern Family, Law & Order (all flavors), Real Housewives (also all flavors), Say Yes to the Dress, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the Olympics (kind of), Barefoot Contessa, Gossip Girl, The Rachel Zoe Project, The Office, 30 Rock, and Parks and Recreation.
15. If you alone held the power to pick the Oscar for Best Picture, would you give it to Avatar or The Hurt Locker?
Eenie, meenie, miney, Hurt Locker.
16. Given the chance, would you rather hang out with George Clooney or Robert Downey Jr.?
George Clooney, but not in a sexy way. Honestly, he doesn’t do it for me.
17. If you were a character on any movie or TV show, past or present, who would you be?
Ellen from The Adventures of Pete & Pete.
18. What’s the last thing you think about before falling asleep at night?
Sheesh, I have to pee again. I should probably get my prostate checked.
