Life Philosophy: If we aren't laughing at our problems, we are missing out on life's funniest inside joke
Something Unique About You: I played boys baseball in 6th grade because I didn't think that the girls who played softball were tough enough. When I would go up to bat at games, sometimes the coaches on the opposing team would yell "it's a girl, move in!" The first time that happened I hit a triple to left field, which made the coach kind of kick himself. Stuff like that helped me develop quite a bit of street cred on the playground, and I noticed that when I got better at playground sports than boys my age, it made them think I could also beat them up. And I could. And they were afraid.
Favorite Weekend Activity: Going to the beach and hanging around on the boardwalk with friends
Most interesting Life Experience: I think that the most interesting things about life are the experiences that take us completely out of our comfort zones to the point where we develop a sense of fear, and I don't think that I have ever been more afraid in my entire life than I was when I was dragged to see the midnight premier of the second movie in the Twilight series, "New Moon." I had never seen the first movie, so I did not know that the fans there would care so much about the event, or that when the theater doors finally opened, I should expect moviegoers to jump on by back and try to crawl over me to get to the ticket booth. It was truly a sociological spectacle of mob mentality that made me more fearful for my life than if the world were to end tomorrow.
