What is your favorite
leisure activity?:
I’m a big reader. I carry around my Kindle everywhere with
me so I can read if I’m standing in a long line, riding on the Metro, or
waiting to get an oil change. I used to read before the start of classes in
college, and my friend asked, “Don’t you think that makes you seem antisocial?”
Maybe, but that doesn’t bother me :)
If you could vacation
anywhere, where would it be?:
Either Thailand or London: Thailand for the pretty beaches,
and London because I’m a complete Anglophile. I considered taking a solo trip
to London for my 25th birthday but I knew my parents would not be
too supportive of me traveling internationally alone :). Maybe in a year or
two.
What is your favorite
thing to bake?:
My favorite things to make are the yumyums I enjoy eating :).
My favorite things to bake are banana muffins because they’re really tasty and
so easy to make. My absolute favorite thing to eat (currently) though are
probably Nutella poptarts, but I don’t make them too often because they’re
tricky to make.
What is your favorite
TV show at the moment?:
My all-time favorite show is Friday Night Lights (I love Kyle Chandler!). I will watch Downton Abbey for as long as it runs –
or as long as Lady Mary remains a part of the show :) -- but I like watching
reality television (e.g., The
Bachelor/Bachelorette) when I want to watch something light to relax.
If you could meet one
celebrity who would it be and why?:
Kane of the Kane Show morning radio program, but I think I
would be too star struck to say much :). If we’re talking
about someone with a broader fan base, I would say Kate Middleton (she seems
like a really nice lady!), Ruth Bader Ginsburg (she is a G! And my new idol), or Katie Couric. Fun fact: Katie Couric and I were
both crowned Cavalier Daily Earth Mama during our time at the University of
Virginia, a title that is the newspaper’s equivalent of prom queen.
What is your favorite
funtivity that you’ve planned for the group or participated in?:
The Valentine’s Day breakfast potluck is my favorite
funtivity that I hope will be an ongoing tradition for the department :).
Also, the department did not celebrate team member birthdays before I came on
board, which is completely crazy to me! Every birthday boy or girl deserves
cupcakes or donuts on their birthday! (Especially if they’re spending their
birthday in the office ;)
Describe your perfect
day:
I would wake up early, go to the gym, eat a strawberry and
Nutella crepe for lunch, explore D.C., and then go to dinner with someone
special.
If you were to get a
new bunny, what would he/she look like, and what would you name him/her?:
I want a light grey, lop-eared bunny named Henry with white
spots.
If you could have a
superpower, what would it be?:
Invisibility so I can walk around uninterrupted. A more
useful one, though, would be the power to make people respond to my emails in a
timely manner without escalation. [Note: this question was answered in a workplace context ;) ]
If you could have
dinner with any fictional character, who would it be?:
Mr. Darcy (of Jane Austen’s Price & Prejudice), or Lizzie Bennett (who becomes Mrs.
Darcy).
Toilet paper: over or
under?:
Always over!
Other than food and
water, what 3 items would you take to a desert island?:
(1) a grill with a bottomless propane tank (I suspect I
would not be too adept at building fires), (2) indestructible, all-weather
shoes, and (3) a snorkel.
If you were having a
dinner party and could invite three famous people (dead or alive), who would
they be?:
(1) Kate Middleton (notice a theme here?), (2) Katie Couric,
(3) Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and (4) Kane of the Kane Show. I would love to be a fly on the way for that
dinner party.
What is your favorite
restaurant?:
Rabieng for Thai food, Curry Mantra for Indian, Sweet Berry for waffles, and Miyagi in Vienna for sushi.
What is your favorite
snack food?:
Savory: Harvest Cheddar SunChips. Sweet: Warm chocolate chip cookies.
