Why did you want to be a staff writer for The Rotunda?
Honestly, I started helping out with The Rotunda because it was required for my class. But it's begun to grow on me ? so I've decided to keep at it.What movie do you hate that everyone else loves?
I'm probably going to get shot for saying this, but I don't understand all of the hype over "Star Wars" or "Harry Potter."
What is the funniest word?
Mollywop!
What is the best invention ever?
The hair straightener comes in as a close second to the car.
Who is the most famous person you have ever met? My uncle was an extra in "War of the Worlds" with Tom Cruise and he's working on films for the Sundance Festival out in Cali. So I guess my uncle if that counts? If my uncle doesn't count then I can say that I touched MIMS' hand at Oktoberfest and I worked for artists like Poison, Bryan Adams, O.A.R and Widespread Panic at my internship this summer.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it NOT be?
I wouldn't want to live in Antarctica or any other really cold place like that. I like warmer weather and besides, there's no real point in shaving your legs if it's just going to grow right back from the frigid temperature lol.
What's the longest you could survive in the wilderness with just a knife and a roll of duct tape?
Ha. I'd try hard but probably would give up within a day. I'd be more likely to send an SOS to my friend Pappy to ask him to come help.
If you could know one thing about the future, what would it be?
It would be a whole lot easier to know about the future in general, but I think the best part about life is figuring out who you really are as time goes on and you face unforeseen obstacles. So I guess I don't really want to know anything about the future. I'll deal with it the same way I always have: rolling with the punches and cherishing the blessings as they come.
What is your current ring tone?
Depends on who's calling. I've got "Wanna Be A Baller" by Lil Troy, "Superstitious" by Stevie Wonder, "Could You Be Loved" by Bob Marley, "Perfect Gentleman" by Wyclef Jean, "The Zephyr Song" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and "Got Your Money" by ODB just to name a few.
What did your last text message say?
My phone plan doesn't let me text. I know, unheard of right?
What would you do with your last $5?
Spend it on food? IDK.
Baby cows. Cute animal, or tasty meal?
Both, just don't make me think about it.
Have you ever killed anything other than a bug?
I hit a bird with my car on accident once. Felt horrible about it?
Tell me one thing about yourself that you don't want readers to know?
I mean they're gonna know when they read this, but not many people know that I can't keep myself from counting steps in my head as I ascend or descend a staircase. I'm not OCD, and it doesn't happen all the time just a habit I can't kick.
Fill in the blank: I wish I could do my homework in a more timely manner.
