33. Best day of your life?
It’s a tie between the last day of the France trip (because we were in Amsterdam and it was amazing) and that day I spent with Emma where we ran around the city and flipped a coin off a building and drank tea and played UNO and swung on a tire swing and walked into an empty lecture hall at the university. It was a great day, that one.

Yeah. My favourite uncle died when I was 8, his wife died when I was 12, and my grandma died on my 16th birthday. My grandpa (Papa) on my mom’s side died when I was 14 and I took that pretty hard. I’ve also lost both of my pets.
40. Do you believe in love?
I dunno. I grew up in a divorced household so instinct tells me no, but then I look at people like Emma’s parents, and Siobhan’s parents, and Siobhan & Rees, and Darren & Madeleine, and Cassidy & Rolland, and then I reconsider. I think I do.
41. Someone you hate/Dislike?
The drama teacher at my high school.
42. Are you okay?
Right now, I’m doing fine. A little tired. But fine.
Rent:How would you react if you were told you only have a few months to live?
Not well, clearly. But after I got over the initial shock, I'd probably take all my money and blow it going to places I've never been. Hopefully my favorite people would come along. See some of my favorite bands play. And then spend my last days at home with family, eating as much good food as possible. Then die of stickittothemaneosis.
T: The obvious answer here is tea itself but that is lame. I really, really, really love theatre with all my heart and soul. Nobody (including me) thinks I'm much of a performer, but being on stage, or in the booth, or in the audience, is always an incredible experience. Participating in a show is stressful and difficult but so rewarding and live theatre is magic.
