Because I miraculously got two days off from work I will now complete 1 Phone It In in Honor of the Canards:

1) What is your favorite thing you've ever written?

My favorite thing I've ever written would be a tie between that short story I produced in two days in an effort to do psychology on myself for the abuses of my ex-girlfriend and that poem I wrote in a fitful poet's high last fall, a line of which I'm considering getting tattooed on my right arm after I translate it into French (which you know...could take a while because I can't find my French/English dictionary).

2) Why do you girls all read literary books, most of which were assigned reading at one point in time or another?

wait...there are things called books that I was supposed to read because they were assigned? fascinating....

3) If you could be 20 again and money and family obligations were not a concern, what are five things you would want to do? If you were 60 and money and family, blah, blah, blah, what are 5 things you would want to do? What accounts for the difference between the two?

Well, I am 22 and I have no money and right now if I could do whatever I wanted to make my dreams come true I would probably work at about five different non-profits while simultaneously traveling around Canada.

4) Another thought. In Marie Claire magazine there is a section called "what I love about me" where women share their most favorite attribute (physical and otherwise).

I have a nice ass. I'm smug enough to declare that, I think?

5) And my question for the oracle of the Collective is: What is the meaning of life?

to live it. (I have a bumper sticker that says this, don't mistake this as a unique ability to sum of the meaning of life or anything).

7) In addition to you all being great entertaining writers, don't you all take pictures? Please show us at least one photo you've taken that would qualify as a favorite, and tell us when you took it and why you love it.



This is my Daddad and my sister Phoebe. They are doing the dishes after Daddad taught Phoebe to make his world famous mashed potatoes. There are several pictures of him teaching me when I was Phoebe's age how to do the same but they have since been misplaced. This isn't my favorite picture of all time but it was my favorite this afternoon when I was browsing my picture files.

Or, describe for us in 100 words or less what the world should look like in 50 years.

um...no thank you.

8) Not to bring up politics again or anything but what would you do with your first 100 days in office?

I would solve world hunger and poverty, send all the Republicans to Mexico, let all the Mexicans come to America and strike to remove all Marriage Amendments that had previously been voted into state records.

9) What song best sums up the history of your love life?

That. is a hysterical question that I will not be answering. But if I had to give it a shot then maybe some Indigo Girls song...yea...I can't do this right now, sorry.

10) Who is the best-developed character in the history of literature?

Wilbur, duh.

13) What is one thing a person can do to make you judge him/her severely?

judge someone else

14) What is your horoscope today? Is it accurate?

Something small makes you happy today and might lead you to even more interesting times if you keep at it. Things are great and as long as you keep smiling, they're sure to stay that way.

I have no idea because PS horoscopes are vague and people only think they're accurate because they use psychologically influential language and inappropriately placed exclamation points. As you will see...I have omitted the exclamation marks in my above horoscope to prove a point.

15) Answer with the first thing that pops into your mind. You can have one wish, what is it?

I want to see the Earth from outer space while eating the biggest chocolate chip cookie I can find (which would probably not be very big since I would most likely be on a space ship and all the food they take with them is like freeze dried and shit).
