1. Where were you 5 years ago?
Abroad, in school (again).

2. 5 years ago, what did you think you'd be doing now?
I thought if I was lucky to be done with school, I'd be working as an interpreter for the UN.

3. How close or far did you come to that mark?
I went in a completely different direction.

4. Where do you think you'll be 5 years from now?
Ooh, I have some big ideas up my sleeve and I'd rather not jinx it by spilling it. (Sorry, Busty)

5. When you were a little kid, what did you want to do for a living?
Writer. That was the only thing I ever imagined myself doing.

6. What was the last book you read all the way through?
(I've read so many half-books in the meantime) Eat, Pray, Love. I have conflicted opinions about the book (I really wanted to 100% love it) and how the author had enough $ from Coyote Ugly to go around the world for a year. Loved the Italian section for the pure pleasure-seeking goodness; couldn't relate to the meditation stuff.

7. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
I honestly don't remember. It's been at least 2 years since I was in a theater. I hate how people are so rude, so I avoid the theater most of the time now -- I make exceptions on special occasions. But movies don't really do anything for me anyway, unless they are the old classics (which I totally swoon over... mmm, Cary Grant).

8. Did you like it as much as you thought you would?
N/A

9. What is your favourite piece of furniture in your home?
My grandfather's bookcase. Oh, and the bunny has his own little sofa which I adore.

10. What is your favourite piece of clothing from your teenage years?
My Guess? denim jacket that I turned into wearable art, and all of the Esprit clothes I "modified" as well.

11. What was the first record you ever bought with your own money?
I am ashamed to say that THIS IS SO SAD THAT I DON'T REMEMBER! My own money? It may have been Duran Duran, but I can't confirm it. It may have been Heart.

12. What was the worst thing about your first paying job?
No complaints, I was a kid and Pa Raisin was my boss and on the weekends when I worked, for a special treat we'd actually leave the office to get lunch from McDonald's. Hahah! Such a novelty. Chicken nuggets and french fries and a root beer, I lived for that shit. Livin' large.

13. What's the best thing about your current job?
I have to speak in very general terms here and say being an influence to colleagues who dream of someday doing my job, wanting to know what I did to get there and encouraging them and cheering them on.

14. Which long lost friend do you wish would find you on MySpace?
NOBODY. I fucking hate MySpace, even though I'm on it. I have long lost friends that I know would find me through other ways, like through our parents or schools or mutual friends. I kind of wonder from time to time what Audrey is doing, she was a girl in elementary school whose father was a diplomat and they moved all around the world every year.

15. What physical trait do the bulk of your exes share?
Inferiority complexes. I can't think of a shared physical trait except...... no tattoos?

16. What does your hair look like right now?
Long layers, curly, its natural color. I'm trying to grow it longer and haven't had it cut in about 8 months.

17. What is your favourite insult?
It's a tie between asshole and fucktard.
