Movie You HAVE to see or saw this week: I watched the Altered Bridge DVD this week which was okay and finally got around to seeing Paranormal Activity which was kind of scary. Going to check out Men Who Stare At Goats this weekend.
Most random text message: “Hell yeah! Harry Potter nerd out! FTW!”
Most embarrassing: Having my Grandmother and Mother tell everyone at Outback that it was my birthday and that I was a well known journalist. Nothing like family pride to embarrass the hell out of you.
Geek Indulgence: Finally figuring out there are really useful apps for my Ipod Touch. The Kindle app has changed my life! Love that I can read books on the treadmill and listen to music. Reading Batman: Hush and drooling over Jim Lee’s version of Catwoman. Lastly my pension for all things Sarah Jessica Parker. I LOVE SJP and she was on the cover of my Elle magazine this month. Hotness.
Funniest follower tweet: mamaxwolf @JustinYPA 80s pop makes me vomit aqua net and leggings
Favorite Staff Moment: This week it’s been getting the interviews from Anne Lindfjeld, Jayme Foxx, Mary Mattern and Dana Gordon. Also the new releases I got in from Salior’s Grave Records. Both reviews will be up next week.
What is your favorite thanksgiving memory?: The year Butch and Judy (my surrogate Mom and Dad) made all the guys sit in one room and the girls sit in the other room. This lastest for about 5 minutes because the TV was in the room the guys were sitting in. So instead of all of us sitting in the nice dining room, we cramed into the kitchen to watch football and talk smack. Then afterwards everyone in the house falling asleep at the same time with a beer in their hands.
What are you thankful for?: This past year and a half of my life. I’ve made some incredible friends, followed my heart and am now living my dream come true doing this as my career. I’m thankful for my big sister Dana and the rest of the family I really like (you know who you are.) I’m thankful for my health (because I didn’t have it for awhile.) Thankful for the new Skarhead CD because it’s been what 10 years since we’ve heard anything new haha. I’m also thankful for Mary Mattern and Jamey Jasta who continue to provide inspiration and motivation to succeed.
Teenage celebrity crush?: When I was a teen it was all about Debbi Harry from Blondie, Bettie Page and Stephanie Seymore (still actually have a crush on Stephanie.) Also had/have a HUGE crush on Candace from Walls of Jericho since I was like 16-17.
What’s your staff nickname?: Boss, Shithead (thanks to Kat hahaha.), Jay.
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?: That would require me actually having free time enough to meet anyone and date haha.
Are you easy to get along with?: I don’t know to be honest, you’d have to ask staff. I know I’m in a good mood usually after noon. Definitely not a morning person I can tell you that.
