No. I will concede that there maybe something special about humans as opposed to other animals that science hasn’t quite figured out yet. But the classic religious floating-above-us-after-we-die, hanging-out-in-the-clouds-with-jesus-and-the-gang-for-ever, bartering-with-the-devil-for-a-golden-fiddle soul? No.
What did you want to be when you “grew up”, and how close did you get?
answer: I wanted to be a fiction writer and/or have a career in print journalism. In actuality, I’ve been working in retail since I was 15. Not even remotely close.
ask: what do you think of “reality TV”?
P.S. I also wanted to study psychology, but the closest I got to that calling was developing a mental illness myself. I consider it providing job security for those in the field.
Answer: I think reality TV is a perfect example of how bad things can go when the general public gets what it wants. We’re a nosy breed, but more than wanting to peek into the lives of others, we also really want people to want to peek into our lives. It’s an unbreakable cycle of ego and avarice, but I love Say Yes to the Dress.
Ask: Imagine that you’re having a perfect moment (whatever that means for you). What song is playing in the background?
answer: depends on what happened. I let a lot of things go that maybe I shouldn’t. On the other hand, I sometimes fixate on stupid things that weren’t meant to offend.
Answer: I’m stuck between religion and bigotry. I just don’t get either. How do you “believe”? It’s just…strange. Welcome to it and all that, I just don’t get it. And why on earth would you care who marries whom, or what someone looks like So maybe, to connect the two: incomprehensible to me is drawing grand conclusion with no basis in evidence.
Ask: Would you like to be your favourite animal, or do you only like to keep them as pets or see them in the wild?
answer: One time, I got this weird infection of some sort that made my poop white. It also made my farts terrible. Not “Haha, you farted, that’s stinks” terrible, but “What is wrong with you?! I’m going to be sick!” terrible. I thought I was on the mend, and it might be okay to sneak one out at a pub. It cleared the room for a solid ten minutes - people went to the bar rail, outside to smoke, to the bathroom - anywhere but that room.
ask: What is your signature recipe that defines who you are in the kitchen?
Answer: I had a pretty bad somach flu or some unidentified intestinal problem that had me out of school for the first 2 weeks of 7th grade. I was in so much sharp shooting pain, barely could eat anything, it was crazy. And they never could find anything wrong with me. It was the weirdest thing.
Ask: What’s the most amount of Peeps you’ve ever eaten in one sitting?
Answer: I sing in the shower CONSTANTLY. It really depends on what song is stuck in my head at the time, but a good ol’ standby is American Pie. Or any number of musical numbers. A lot of pop music though, too.
Ask: What do you think the cutest thing to do with a baby is?
