Best Date You Have Ever Been On? I went on not one best date! I went on two best dates! The first one being I went to see 50 First Dates and then we went to Arby's and we sat in the dining area and did nothing but talk for 3 hours and eat beef and cheddar sandwiches. And we kept quoting SpongeBob. That was in 2004.

Second best date, would be my first date with Steve. He let me trauma dump! LOL. And I spilled my popcorn all over his truck! LMAO. I was a ball of nervous energy because he was my crush and he made my dream come true! To be seen and liked back by a high school crush! You don't know how many stories I've written about people hooking up with their high school crush! Oh and we watched He-Man & the Masters of the Universe. We both really liked the movie. And we both thought they made Adam too wimpy. 

Worst Date You've Ever Been On? The one where I was forced to perform oral sex on a certain somebody, who I forgive but I will never forget!

Favorite type of weather? Sunny, around 72 degrees fahrenheit.

Fears: Tornados, ice storms, dying alone, wasps, hornets.

Favorite foods: Pizza (especially pepperoni and mushroom with extra sauce!), Burgers, Tacos with just beef, cheese, and ketchup.

Least favorite food: Veggies! I only like spinach, pickles, potatoes, corn on the cob/corn, cooked carrots, mushrooms. I also cannot stand lettuce! In fact, during the lettuce recall it was hard for me to keep a straight face, especially at my doctor's office because everyone made an appointment because they were sick from the lettuce! LOL.  I WILL START AN ANTI-LETTUCE CAMPAIGN!

Favorite animals? Elephants! Koalas! Cats! Dogs!

Pet Cause: Mental health.

Favorite charity? I don't donate much to charity anymore because they get millions of dollars anyway from the government. But if I had to pick a charity, it would be St. Jude because no child deserves to die of cancer! I also like to donate to GoFundMe's when a story particularly touches me or when a friend is in trouble or even an acquaintance!

Favorite books? Valley of the Dolls, The Fault In Our Stars, The Enchanted Soul, Some Good F****** Poetry (any Kalen Dion though!), Astrology For Real Life, The Cards Your Dealt, Rosemary's Baby.

Authors You Admire: Maya Angelou, Kalen Dion, George Orwell (I'll call him Orson Wells, and Alfred Hitchcock! LOL).
