Have any favorite sports teams? Pro football: Steelers College football: USC Baseball: Reds Basketball: Lakers College basketball: OSU
Hockey?
I've actually never watched a hockey game. But I really want to go to a Blue Jackets game sometime. My friends new bf has season tickets so he said we'd all get in at half-price. So I'm excited to change that soon.
But I guess the Blue Jackets, because I live here.
The key to a perfect grilled cheese is low temperature and give it some time to cook. Too many people think they should turn the temperature on high so it gets done faster, but that doesn't give you a good melty cheese to crunchy bread ratio (grilled cheese was my favorite thing to make myself when my mom had to work when I was younger). Low and slow!
Also, would you share what really happened with Justin Boren when he left Michigan for Ohio State?
Because football.
Really though, he was talked into it by his family because Zach committed to OSU and he knew he'd have a better chance at going pro. However, Justin always said he wanted to play for OSU. I don't know why he chose Michigan in the first place. You should see their freaking house. It's always been decked out in OSU paraphernalia.
How did Aaron Craft manage to stay in college for 7 years? Hey now, it took me 7 years to graduate college!! But seriously, I'm not sure who you're talking about. The only Aaron Craft I know played for OSU for 4 years, I believe.. unless this is a figurative question or something.
I was just making a joke that it seemed like Aaron Craft played for Ohio State forever lol. I hated watching him play. Fuck Ohio State.
Now more questions.
I recently came across a girl on tinder who said one of her dislikes is Hitler. Should I be worried that there are girls out there who LIKE Hitler? Or maybe this girl just had something crazy happen to her where she feels the need to get that out there for everyone to know?
What's the best date you've been on? Conversely, what's the worst date you've been on?
What's your favorite way to cook a potato? Mashed? Hashed Browns? Other?
When will Lebron James accept that he should go bald?
Are you an early bird or a night owl?
If you could play one instrument in a band (including singing) which one would it be?
Do you believe in life after love?
Who's your favorite comedian?
If you come around to having children, would you rather have a boy or girl first?
Favorite movie that came out in 2014?
Why do the good die young?
What would be your dream superjam if you got to pick one this year?

I would hope no one likes Hitler, male or female. But there is always the possibility. We live in a strange world, it's never a bad idea to be wary of the Aryan Nation.
What's the best date you've been on? Conversely, what's the worst date you've been on? Truth: I haven't been on very many dates. I dated the same person from 17-24, I've only been single as an adult for a little over a year now. The best date I've been on was pretty mediocre as far as dates go. He surprised me by cutting me early and getting off work early with me (he was my supervisor, we were servers). Then we went to dinner, the movies then back to his place where we stayed up all night talking. It was nice in a really sweet, PG way. The worst date was with the same person. We went to the movies and during the movie I started to feel really terrible. I ended up having mono. I had lied to my mom though ans said that I was spending the day with my dad who was in town so I couldn't have my bf drive me home, but I wasn't about to drive. So I spent the day in his apt with a 102 fever shivering and feeling terrible.
What's your favorite way to cook a potato? Mashed? Hashed Browns? Other? Potatoes in any form is delicious. But I am a huge fan of mashed potatoes, possibly my favorite side dish. I'm not really a fan of hash browns. I like au gratin potatoes too, which I don't have nearly often enough.
When will Lebron James accept that he should go bald? Never. And I don't want him to.
Are you an early bird or a night owl? I work 3rd shift. If I'm up before 1pm it's probably because I had to work over till 11am and am still up, not already up. So night owl.
If you could play one instrument in a band (including singing) which one would it be? I would love to learn to play the piano. You can't really "learn" to sing, but I wish I could do that too.
Do you believe in life after love? Yes.
Who's your favorite comedian? I don't know. I saw Dane Cook live, but it was a gift to my bf at the time. I like Chris Rock and Katt Williams a lot.
If you come around to having children, would you rather have a boy or girl first? Boys are easier, so let's go with that.
Favorite movie that came out in 2014? hahahahhaha. I don't do the movies so good. But I guess Mocking Jay, pt 1 only because I'm a huge nerd. Movies that were good that I saw this year: Guardians of the Galaxy, American Hustler, Dallas Buyers Club, Her, 12 Years a Slave. I don't know if those came out in 2013 or 14 though.
Why do the good die young? Sensitive subject. But I don't know. I've been trying to figure that out since 2004.
What would be your dream superjam if you got to pick one this year? Oh dear, so many names. Idk, I think the Pharrell weekend 1 performance at Coach last year was amazing. I'd def take some of those people. So starting with there Pharrell, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Janelle Monae, Rihanna, The Weekend, Kendrick Lamar, Banks, SBTRKT to add something different, Blood Orange (or at least just Devonte).... Well shit, I guess you can tell I've been listening to a lot of hip hop and r&b lately. If you would've asked me this a week ago it probably been more of an alternative superjam, the week before that probably would've been folky/countryish... I feel like this needs more variety in it, but this looks good for now I guess.
Michael Jackson or Prince? Honestly, I'm going to have to go with Michael Jackson. Only because I grew up with my mom playing a lot of Jackson 5 and early MJ. 'I'll Be There' is one of my all time favorite songs and I feel like I know him better. But Prince is Prince, so that's really just not a fair question.
How did you find out about Inforoo? I have no clue. I'm assuming the Google machine. I creeped for years though and only joined to ask about glow sticks when I finally decided to go to Bonnaroo, didn't post again for months after that.
Bump since this has been forgotten about due to all the madness.
How was the partying after Ohio State won the championship? Fuck Ohio State. It was crazy. People were all over High St on campus and cops ended up tear gassing people because they wouldn't leave and get out of the street. They also stormed the shoe and tore down the goal posts. Oh, and OSU students love to burn shit, especially couches, there were 89 fires set Monday night. I was supposed to watch the game at a bar on campus, but instead I went to my friends party a little off campus. We walked around a little afterwards and shit was crazy. We left right before all the tear gassing and flash bombs started.
Good times.
What're your thoughts on the initial lineup release? Will you go? I am going. I got my ticket during the black Friday pre- sale. I like it but I'm not blown away. There are a lot of good acts and I'm excited for a LN Earth, Wind & Fire dance party. But almost everyone I'm looking forward to we already knew about so it didn't leave me too excited about anything. There were a few surprises, like Tears for Fears, but I'm mostly upset over the glaring omissions. Modest Mouse, Weezer, Deathcab, FKA Twigs, RATATAT.... I thought they would be there for sure I'm really let down they're not. But, I haven't really dug into the line up yet so I'm sure I'll find more acts to get excited for as I discover new artists.
Oh, and soooo ready for Mumford & Sons. Fuck the haters.
Favorite act on the lineup so far? New act? I don't have one yet because I haven't started researching. I'm still fawning over the Shaky Knees line up. But currently I'm most looking forward to Earth, Wind & Fire, Mumford, Tycho, Run the Jewels, Spoon, FlyLo, Sylvan Esso, Odesza, and Gary Clark Jr. (who I've been trying to see for almost 3 years now)..
This question may be the same as above, but if you were to recommend one act for me to see off the lineup who would it be? Depends what you're into, but anything I've named would be great, obviously. Others would be Strand of Oaks, Glass Animals, Flume, Moon Taxi, Childish Gambino (that's going to be a really fun show!), SBTRKT, The War On Drugs
Any names you want to be added if/when they add more? THE WEEKND! I'm also holding out hope for RATATAT Neither of which are going to happen.
You can have dinner with any five people you want, but they must be living. Who are they? My daddy, he lives in South Korea and I only get to see him once every few years. Paul McCartney, because I love him. Tom DeLonge, because I love him just as much. J.K. Rowling, I would pick her brain so hard. Lastly, Charles Manson, just because I can't think of anyone else and he'd be a weird dude to talk to.
Same as above, except they must have passed away My friend Marin and my uncle. Less depressing choices of Hunter S. Thompson, Lucille Ball and JFK.
Do you think it's weird for other people to know your middle name/knowing others middle names? I've never really thought about, but yes. I'm the worst person to tell you middle name to, by the way. I will always end up calling you by your full name. I tend to call people by their "long" name too if I'm being sarcastic.
What's your favorite quote from a movie? Don't laugh, but this entire scene.
"We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans. Both at the same time. IT'S EXHAUSTING!"
Favorite quote from a television show? I don't watch a lot of TV so I can't think of anything. But Breaking Bad has a bunch of good stuff. I really, really liked this scene actually from The Wire.
Damn, watching that scene now that I'm almost done with the series is weird.
What's the best impersonation you can do? None. I'm terrible at impersonations. Like, really bad.
So there's a couple weeks left to your month, and we haven't really grilled you too hard.
How many states have you been to? 20 jk, 19.. DC is not a state, Not sure why it was included in this back when this was a thing people were doing.
How many countries have you been to? USA, Mexico, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Bahamas.... I feel like I'm missing one, but I don't think I am.
What places do you want to visit in the near future, and haven't been to before? ANYWHERE!! I love going new places. I don't see any new big trips in my future, but I'd love to go anywhere in Europe. Specifically Italy, UK, Greece and Spain.
What's your pick for the best five albums from last year? I've been avoiding making my top 10 list because I introduced myself to a lot of music that was new to me, but not actually new (for example, SBTRKT-SBTRKT was played in my car for weeeeeks around this time last year, but it's not a new album. I'm just late to the party.) With that being said, my top 5 in no order looks something like this:
Caribou- Our Love Glass Animals- Zaba Run The Jewels- RTJ2 Sylvan Esso- Sylvan Esso War On Drugs- Lost In The Dream Liars- Mess FKA Twigs- LP1 Todd Terje- It's Album Time
Oops, that was more than 5. My bad.
Name something from the Bonnaroo lineup that people aren't paying enough attention to.
What two Inforooers should go on a date with each other? I feel like smellycat and itrainmonkeys should maybe go on a date before they get married, but I'm old school like that.
Do you prefer watching movies or TV shows? Is this really a question? C'mon man. You know me better than that. (TV, I am cinematically challenged)
When was the last time you watched The Price Is Right? I'm not sure if I've ever watched the price is right. Maybe once or twice when I stayed home from school in like 5th grade or so.
What are the most disgusting things you've ever eaten? I try not to try new things. But peas and tomatoes are pretty gross. I'm really trying to dig deep here and I can't think of anything. I know I've had some gross stuff, but nothing is coming to mind.
Over the last year, how many points have fallen from your Purity Test score? I'm not sure very many. I haven't really done many new things this year that would affect my purity score. I wouldn't be against taking it again though.
People need to think of some more questions. No one cares to ask me questions because I already over share as it is. Lol.
Favorite non-alcoholic beverages? Tie: Dr. Pepper if it's with food, Mountain Dew if without. I also enjoy OJ, cranberry juice and apple juice, but apple juice gives me heart burn.
Favorite candy? Ummmm.... Kit Kat or Reese.
How much is a gallon of gas out your way? Last I saw was $1.84. It's amazing.
What's the farthest away you've been on a road trip? Miami. 18 hour drive straight through.
You got any brothers or sisters? I have 2 younger brothers, 19 and 12. I also have two step sisters who I only see at holidays, they're 27 and 23 I believe. My dad has two kids of his own. His son is like 2, or maybe almost 3, and his daughter is like 6 months. I'm totally guessing on their ages, I've only met his son once and I haven't seen him in a year, so I haven't met his daughter.
How do you like your steak? The right way. Medium-rare.
Are you surprised people haven't asked you questions about sex, drugs, and booze? I am a little. My logic is that I think most of the answers to most of those questions are already known.
Speaking of which, how much do you spend in an average month on alcohol? hahahaha! Drinking Bud Light & Barefoot keeps my costs down. But going out destroys it. I'd say somewhere around $100 if I go out at least twice, probably more like $50 if I don't. God, that sounds awful.
Is spending $50-100 a month on booze really that awful?
Last time I was at UIC a guy was standing on a park bench screaming "MY NAME IS DANIEL" over and over. If you see him tonight, would you please say hello for me?
Lol. It was a rough estimate excluding heavy nights out. I've spent $140 in one night on alcohol. Lately I've been drinking lots of cheap stuff and no liquor, so I'm sure my costs reflect that. Maybe next month I'll actually keep track.
And yes. I'll keep an eye out for Daniel and be sure to pass along your well wishes.
So, how's Chicago? Chicago was amazing! I got to actually go out on the town and I had a blast. Already planning my trip back!!
How long does it take you to get there? Google says it takes about 6 hours. I made it there in around 5. But the trip back took 7.5 because of snow.
Was Sam Smith the first show you've seen in Chicago? Not really, I went to Riot Fest there in September, but it was the first single show I've seen there. But it was the second time I've seen him. Third if you count seeing him with Discloaure at Roo. I'll be going back in April to see Poliça.. Eeeek!
Oh! I met Sam Smith after the show too and got his autograph!!!
What's your favorite things about the place? This was actually the first time I really enjoyed the city. I guess my favorite part would be that my cousin is there and she is basically like my sister and best friend.
Did you meet up with anyone from Inforoo there? I did! I met up with my luva & PorchRadio & chicojuarz... They may have had something to do with my amazing weekend. They're a blast and wonderful people. See that face? My face? That's my drunk face. The eyes give me away.
Would you skinny dip in Lake Michigan? No. I don't skinny dip in public places. Except that one time...
Favorite beer from Chicago? Foods? Ummmmm. Bud Light? No judgies. And all food is great. I had a delicious beef brisket sandwich from some bar I can't remember the name of (Rocking Horse maybe? Is that a thing?) and a steak made of dreams at some other place. The first time I went we got a traditional Chicago deep dish pizza that was the tits. And when I was there for Riot in September I had one of the most amazing brunch meals I've ever had.
Ughhhhh. Idk. I prob won't get the whole weekend off but I could do a day pass for Friday (for my man). I'd have to see 1) how the daily schedule plays out & 2) if I could split a room for one night only with someone.

How did you decide on nursing?

How old were you when you went on your first real date? 15, my bf had a ride and we would go to a movie and dinner. I never dated as an adult sadly.
What's the best present you've ever received? my grandfather used to redo antiques. he would strip them down and bring them to original glory. when I got married he got a chest for me and started working on it. He passed away a month later. My grandmother took it to the family that taught him and had them refinish it for me. It is not as good as he would have done, there are flaws and really small things but I cried like a freaking baby.
