1. What is your current obsession?
- Right now I’m really in to writing letters. For whatever reason, every time I write a full-length letter or even a little note and drop it in the mail, I get a natural high. I always get really excited whenever I go to check the mail and I see something that’s addressed to me, so I thought I’d start doing it for other people. You’d be surprised how much fun it can be.

2. What do you hate that everyone else seems to love?
- I really don't like Edward Cullen (from Twilight). I know that he's supposedly the most perfect boy ever, but I think he's overrated. Perfection is boring. I would much rather read about an average guy that makes mistakes but you still fall head over heels in love with him.

3. What are you wearing today?
- My guard uniform. You would think that after wearing it all day in the humidity I would just want to rip it off when I got home. However, that’s not always the case. I usually end up wearing it for the rest of the day while I do errands, watch tv, or even go to a party. I like it because it’s fairly comfortable and people don’t judge you for not doing your hair or make up while wearing it.

4. What’s for dinner?
- A salad that I got from the pool bar. Everyday our pool bar throws out a ton of sandwiches, salads, cakes, and all sorts of goodies that no one eats. So us guards like to go and beg for food and occasionally the workers will take pity on us and give us a feast.

5. What would you eat for your last meal?
Orange chicken from Panda Express, French Fries from In-n-Out, the classic sub from Jersey Mikes, a Mint Chocolate Chip Milk shake, and for dessert a pazzokie from Bj’s. Basically all unhealthy things.

6. What is the last thing you bought?
- A spicy Italian sandwich from subway. Not the most healthy item on their menu, but it’s oh so good.

7. What are you listening to right now?
- The Twilight Zone is on tv right now. They’re having a marathon on the sci-fi channel and I am loving every minute of it. Nerd Alert!

8. What do you think of the person that tagged you?
- I love Sam. We’ve known each other since…. I don’t even know when. She’s such a sweetheart and has always been a good example to me. We may not talk all the time or hang out very much, but I will always consider her as a good friend.

9. If you could have a house- fully paid for and totally furnished – anywhere in the world, where would it be?
- That’s a tough one, since there are so many places that I think I would like to live in, but I’ve never been there. If it were in the U.S., I would say either Nashville, or D.C. I think both are beautiful and both have a modern and an old feel to them. Out of the country I would have to say Ireland. Based on pictures that I’ve seen.

10. If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would it be?
- I would go somewhere considerably cooler than Florida. With a beach. Maybe Naples.

11. What is one of your hobbies?
- I LOVE to read. On average I can usually get through a book a week, when I don’t have distractions like school or work to keep me from it. My whole family is big on reading too. On any given day you’d be able to find at least one of us curled up with a good book.

12. What is your favorite quote?
- Fun one: “Don’t take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyways.”
Serious one: “Come what may and LOVE it!” – Joseph B. Wirthlin

13. What is your favorite color?
- I really like the color green. But it has to be certain shades. Like sea foam green, or Kelly green. All the other greens are just ehh….

14. What is your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
- I have this green dress that is like my power suit. Whenever I wear it I feel like I’m the kind of girl that gets exactly what she wants when she wants it. If I need to look amazing on a date or just want to feel great I wear that dress. It never lets me down.

15. What is your dream job?
- I’ve always had an ambition to become a writer. I don’t know if I want to write novels, news articles, a screenplay, or biographies. All I know is that I want to write something. I also really want to be a mother. I feel like that’s my calling in life, hopefully someday I’ll be able to fulfill it.

16. Describe your personal style?
- I’m not really sure what my style is. I like to be comfortable and feel good. I feel like my style is constantly changing based on where I’m currently living or on the people that I spend most of my time with. It’s an on-going process.

17. What is your favorite tree?
- I’m not gonna lie, I’m not a tree expert. I guess my favorite tree would be ones that have flowers bloom on them in the spring. The earth could always use some more flowers.

18. What are you going to do after this?
- I should go to the gym, but I think I’m just going to do laundry and watch a movie with Meryl.

19. What is your favorite fruit?
- Definitely strawberries sliced with some sugar sprinkled on them. Sooo gooood.

20. What inspires you?
- A lot inspires me. It can be a song, a book, natural beauty, or even a random person that I may come across. I guess what inspires me most are things that dare to not go with the flow, that create their own path and find their own way.

21. Who was the last person that you kissed?
- Peter. I miss him.

22. What are you currently reading?
- Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and the Book of Mormon.

23. Go to your bookshelf, take down the first book that you see with a red binding, turn to page 26 and type out the first line.
- We were practically the same height, but he weighed about twice as much as I did. He had these very broad shoulders.
(From the Catcher in the Rye. Holden is talking about his roommate Stradlater) I read it for the first time this summer. I still don’t know if I liked it or not.

24. What delighted you the most today?
- Hosting the limbo contest at the Fort’s pool party. Little kids are just too funny.

25. If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
- “I can’t Wait” by Hilary Duff (this is from her Lizzie McGuire days)

26. If you bought a wiener dog today, what would you name it?
- Ferdinand. I’ve always like that name. I don’t know why. But I could never replace my Maxi-poo.

27. What is your most memorable dream?
- I keep having this dream where I am going on a quest to find or achieve something, and if I don’t there will be dire consequences. The people I go with never stay the same and the places that I stop on my journey are always different, but I’m always working toward the same goal with the same amount of urgency. I never know what exactly it is, but I know it’s extremely important. I’ve been having this dream for years now and I’m hoping that someday I’ll be able to figure it out.

The rules: Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question you dislike with a question of your own.

Yesterday on our day off, my friend Meryl and I decided to explore this place called WonderWorks. On the outside it looks like a huge house that's been flipped upside down. When you go in it's like a discovery museuem. There are all sorts of things you can do; like lie on a bed of nails, measure how fast you can pitch a baseball, move things with your mind, and test your reaction time.

My favorite part was a test that told you your virtual age and how long you are going to live. According to the test I am 14 years old and I'm going to live to be 79. We'll see how it works out.
