'Be Mine' gets me every time

2009-06-22T19:30:07-06:00

This song embodies those post-breakup feelings. Particularly for me, my ex was cheating on me and is now with the girl with which he do so, and has been for the last two and a half years. "You never were, and you never will be mine." That sums that up perfectly.

Des Moines, Iowa is surprisingly delightful

My childhood arch enemy

Jessica Kessler and Stacy Finke were neck-and-neck for this title.

I'm a cat person

2009-05-05T02:00:56-06:00

I feel affinity for felines mostly because they don't need as much constant attention. They aren't as IN YOUR FACE! And I've never been a big fan of drool.

How I'd spend $1,000

2009-04-19T05:29:04-06:00

This is going to be the most boring answer I ever give on Plinky. I would spend the $1000 on my credit card bill. I stupidly put two semesters of college on my card because I had too much pride to take my dad up on his offer to pay.

My money's on the gorilla

Gorillas are simply terrifying when angry.

Where can I park my Prius?

Better for the environment always wins in my book.

Zombies!

2009-04-10T13:49:33-06:00

According to a recent Facebook quiz, I would "survive and thrive." I'd find a gun of some kind and start shooting the zombies in the head. They're attracted to sound (apparently), so running and bicycling are the best forms of transportation. If a friend or family member is attacked, there's no time for being sentimental, they get a head shot. I'd try to find some huge military man as my zombie apocalypse companion, especially if he's cute.

When I get home, I kick my shoes off

2009-04-10T13:36:01-06:00

I hate wearing shoes, unless they're really high heels, but those aren't exactly practical working in a daycare. I don't change anything else, because I wear jeans and tshirts to work most days. The only reason I'll change is if I'm going out. Even then, I'll just put on nicer jeans and a cute top.

My first job: office work

2009-04-10T13:25:14-06:00

My first work experience was pretty awesome. I worked for my dad's doctor group, doing the billing with my best friend. I think I did it for about 8 months. I made $15 and hour, however, I didn't have enough work to do more than 10 hours or so a month. My job depended on other people getting their work done, and it was a low priority for most of them.

My vice: smoking.

2009-04-10T13:18:58-06:00

I started smoking on one of the worst days of my life. My boyfriend broke up with me, my older sister's husband told her he didn't love her and wanted a divorce, and my little sister was admitted to the hospital in uncontrollable, horrific pain. I needed a break from everything and I knew my (newly) ex-boyfriend smoked as a stress relief, so I got a pack and that was the end. I should quit for the obvious reasons, it's bad for my health, it smells, etc. I plan on quiting for my birthday next month, but we'll see how that goes.

Keeping in touch from West Lafayette, Indiana to Stourbridge, England

2009-04-08T23:25:11-06:00

We stay in touch mostly online - Aim, email, Facebook, etc. We also text message more than my budget allows and call each other for holidays and birthdays. It would be a romantic relationship, but are too logical to try to make it work across an ocean. We see other people, but both maintain that we're the love of each others' lives.

I'm in the IMDB Hall of Fame

2009-04-04T18:15:41-06:00

When I was living in Los Angeles, I worked on a Disney movie and a Roger Corman movie, earning me credits on imdb.com. That's not really a 15 minutes of fame, since anyone can put their movies in the database, but that's all I've got.

I get my news from the Internet

2009-04-01T03:18:23-06:00

Greek sounds good

2009-03-31T16:19:30-06:00

This is the hardest question. I love food too much. I think I could probably live off of Greek food for a year. There's a good mix of healthy and not so healthy food, good desserts, and lots of seafood. That would work for me.

IPhone, please

2009-03-28T20:10:54-06:00

iPhone! I've been in far to many debates and situations where having constant internet access in my pocket would save the day.

Making out in West Lafayette, Indiana

2009-03-28T20:05:10-06:00

It wasn't bad. I initially just wanted him to stop tickling me, because I really wanted to watch the Thundercats. Little did I know I would love kissing so much.
