Moment
I sat in the most deliciously comfortable, squashy Central Perk-like chair in Starbucks, about four feet away from a table of four old people—two women, two men. One of the men was wearing a hat and glasses. I was overwhelmed with the desire to make him smile because I could tell it would be a lovely sight. His wife’s white hair was doing things that only time, good hair curlers, and Mrs. Michaels...
Question Eight
Think about your day. What is one moment, likely totally insignificant, where you thought, “you know what, life is not so bad.” A moment from brushing your teeth in the morning to seeing a leaf fall to a joke your professor made to smiling at someone you passed to driving in your car that simply made you happy?

Question Seven
Close your eyes. No, wait! Don’t. Closing your eyes is not exactly conducive to reading the rest of this, so read this first and then close your eyes.
You could be anywhere. When you really think about that, it’s sort of true. I mean, if I really, really wanted to, I could be boarding a train or be heading to the airport (except I don’t have my passport! Damn! Always the...
Question Six
I give you a category. You give me the first thing that comes to mind within that category. For example: Type of bread. The first thing that came to mind was Wave Hill. What comes out might not necessarily be your favorite kind of whatever (Wave Hill, for instance, is certainly not my favorite bread) but this is a game of instinct. So! Here we go. Flavor of tea? Name of book? Name of song? Flavor...

Let’s talk about your ideal neighborhood. First off, in which town/state/country is it located? How populated is the area? Do you live in a mansion, apartment, shack, house (zomg I spelled MASH!), cottage? What is the most wonderful feature of your home? Which celebrity would you like to call…

Question Five
Let’s talk about your ideal neighborhood. First off, in which town/state/country is it located? How populated is the area? Do you live in a mansion, apartment, shack, house (zomg I spelled MASH!), cottage? What is the most wonderful feature of your home? Which celebrity would you like to call your next door neighbor? How far away do I, Sylvia Cunningham, live from you? What does my room in...

I am so sad!
I was planning on spamming tumblr with more questions, but it appears as if I am only allowed to “let people reply” twice in a day. This is simply not okay.
Oh well. I have two more ready for tomorrow.

Question Four
You own a baby animal. It will always be a baby. It does not grow up. What is your baby animal of choice? It does not have to be practical; in fact, it’s almost preferable if it’s not. What is its name?
Post a picture of it on your tumblr.

Makin' me happy!
Zomg guys, I am so pleased with your answers so far…but one hitch! Sarbear, Christafur, Arnica…I can’t see your answers to Question Two! We must fix this. But besides that, keep up the good work, and I’ll keep up the questions.

Question Three
Tom Colicchio has commissioned you and twenty others to rework the BLT. You must present three sandwiches, each of which will compose a third of your final dish—amuse bouche style. *Keep in mind that if you win not only will one of your sandwiches be named after you and featured at Witchcraft restaurants all around the world, but Gail Simmons will also have your babies.**
In the first...
Question Two
There is a deadly virus spreading across the digital world that attacks and permanently destroys picture files. You have the opportunity to save only three photos; all others will be lost. Which photos (of someone else, that you have taken, that someone has taken of you) would you most want to save?
Post one of them.
Question One
You’re driving and you come upon a three pronged fork in the road. To the left, there’s a sign pointing to an apple orchard 2.7 miles down. There’s no sign on the middle path, but you’ve heard rumors that a quiet lake surrounded by trees and mountains awaits those who decide to venture down it. To the right, a sign reads ”Pluntamore, Population 2,384.” Along...
Interview
Today I started thinking about how I would pass the time waiting for a ride after rehearsal by interviewing all my awesome but equally car-less friends. I miss that. So! I’m going to ask questions. Sometimes mayhaps I’ll even answer them as well. But what I would really like is if you would answer them. Because you’re all interesting and cool, and I miss bombarding you guys with...

Infirmary
Apparently no matter why you come in, the first question they ask is “are you pregnant?” Unless a baby is growing in my foot and would explain why my ankle has been hurting for a solid week now…no, I am not. Heading there now to see if they can be of any use at all.
Humanity
On Wednesday, my poli sci theory professor came in looking all frazzled. She dumped all her stuff down and after surveying what she had, she heaved a great sigh. “Well. You know you’re going to have a rough day when you accidentally take your son’s lunch and give him yours.” Someone made some joke about “well, hope you packed him a good one!” But she said, no,...

Part two
Went back over (third time, mind you) and asked if there was a person I could contact to discuss printers that do print double sided as it is an egregious waste of paper to only allow single sided sheets, especially when many of us are printing things that are at least 25 pages long. I said that I was part of a national environmental group (buuullshit) and that the President of the group...
Hey printer lady
You’re a fucking bitch!
$2.80 is annoying to lose when I didn’t even get what I printed and now have to do it again. Thanks for being super sarcastic and mocking me and belittling everything I said. You rock at life.
Keep on with that being totally useless thing!!!!! You’re doing great.
Sincerely,
Way too passive aggressive for my own good/where the fuck is a punching bag...

I have a plan and the plan is this. I come home to run in the race for the Norwalk Public Library on September 25th. I take a train into the city. We eat here. Life is at its greatest.
Unless…yes. NO! Unless I’ve complete assumed the proximity of this glorious looking place to where you live and this is not subway distance and would be totally out of the way…
Whatever. Clear...

Squishin'
“You know when you like someone, it’s called a crush? Well when you want to be friends with someone, it’s called a squish. I want to be friends with you. I squish you.”
That’s what someone said to me today. Being squished makes a person happy, not gonna lie.
