Funniest follower tweet: I never pay attention enough and nothing in particular stands out this week!

Favorite Staff Moment: Things have honestly been so hectic lately, it’s hard to pick any specific moments out of our days.

What is your favorite thanksgiving memory?: I haven’t really ‘celebrated’ Thanksgiving for very long. I went to a friend’s house once and it was so disastrous it was awesome.

What are you thankful for?: I’m almost certain this is so stereotypical, but my family, friends, music, and amazing opportunities that somehow fall into my lap. And my dog, duh.

Teenage celebrity crush?: Oh god, I don’t even know where to start! Johnathan Taylor Thomas, Ben Foster, Rider Strong. And an insane girl crush on Amy Jo Johnson!

What do you do when you’re not working or yelling at Justin YPA?: I take Psychology classes and do a lot of art-related things. Naming everything I enjoy doing in my spare time would be boring.

What’s your staff nickname?: KatKat, English muffin.. whatever comes to mind at the time, I reckon!

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?: No, I’m kind of the ultimate male repellant, and definitely not really the relationship type of person. But I’m slowly easing myself out of that and into a crush on a certain boy.

Are you easy to get along with?: A lot of the time my sarcasm or dry humour is mistaken for bitchiness, but I’d like to think it’s easy!

Funniest follower tweet:

@warrenellis Politicians don’t kiss babies. They test them for flavour.

@zefrank LA drivers treat rain like it was an amusement park ride. they are scared, but it doesn’t stop them from wanting to go as fast as they can.

Favorite Staff Moment: Talking so much to Brad he didn”t have a chance to get a word in.

What do you plan on being for Halloween?: Ms. Marvel.

Who are you most like? Jason or Freddy?: I’m more like Freddy in the dark humour sense.. Jason always has a bigger body count and is more menacing. I’m hardly scary.

What do you do when you’re not working? (Reader submitted): I rarely have free time, especially as of late. I uh.. knit, read comics, draw, write, go camping, talk to certain Jews, and I’m kind of in love with my puppy so we go on lots of adventures.
