      1. What’s a song that has been on your mind lately? The Cloud Atlas Sextet, because it's beautiful and that movie is awesome. 

2. What is your dream house like? It would be located on the side of a mountain, kind of like a large log-cabin, where there's lots of snow and where you could ski in and out. Think Whistler-Blackomb, which has these sorts of houses. 

3. If you could be a part of any musical, which musical and which part? I don't know a lot of musicals, actually. I guess I'd be in Rent and play Mark, because I'm a bit like Mark anyway and, well, he doesn't die. 

4. Would you rather be so afraid that it hurt, or be in so much pain that you are afraid? This is hard. I guess I'd rather be so afraid that it hurt, because that much physical pain sounds like it might be harder to deal with. I've been both at some point, and the so afraid that it hurt lasts longer but it's less acute, if that makes sense. 

5. If you woke up one day to magically find yourself in the body and life of a fictional character, who would that character be? Rose Tyler, from Doctor Who. Probably because I can relate to her a bit, we have some of the same insecurities and hell, if I had to choose between a normal life and a life in the TARDIS, I'd choose life in the TARDIS. We're both at that turning point in our lives. 

6. Are you afraid of death? Not for me. For other people that I love. I don't want to be the one left behind, but I suppose it wouldn't matter what I thought if I were dead. 

7. What exotic animal would you want to hug? A hedgehog 

8. If you found out somehow that the life you’ve been living in was all a dream and you had an entire reality outside of this ‘dream,’ but you don’t know what it’s like, would you rather stay where you are (dreaming/coma) or wake up and find out who you really are?  I wrote a story about this, actually. In the story the main character decides to wake up. It's a bit more complicated than that, but I guess the point is that I would decide to wake up as well. 

9. Is there anything in your past you wish you could forget? I wish I could forget the pain of kidney stones. 

10. If money wasn’t an issue and abilities weren’t an issue, what would be your dream job? A travel scout for films. Or just someone who traveled and took photographs for magazines like National Geographic Travel or something like that. Or a screenwriter. Maybe a ballet dancer. That last one is the only one I'm not actually trying to do. I'm probably not going to have a lot of money anyway. 

11. If your best friend was a dessert, what kind of dessert would they be? Cookies. Chocolate chip and gooey. Those are my favorite and my best friend is one of my favorite people.
