You can have one perfect meal, but once you have it you’ll never be able to eat it again. What is it?
The perfect meal ever is wings and beer, period. But it would be silly of me to pick that, because I can’t live without it. Hmm… perhaps Buffalo Chicken Pizza? It’s so, SO good. But very bad for you.
What one object that you own would you never be able to live without?
I think that the one object I couldn’t live without would be Bert’s Bee’s peppermint foot lotion. That stuff is amazing!
If you had to change your name to one of the 50 states, which would you pick and why?
Rhode Island. Because it’s a beautiful, yet simple combination of words.
If I could spend 24 hours anywhere in the world, I would go to ____ with ____ and I would ____.
I would go to Madrid, Spain with my cousin Emily and I would go to see the Guernica (Picasso) and then probably go out to eat, have some drinks, cause chaos, etc.
