(forewarning: i only say these in off-the-cuff speech or writing. so they probably won't be in this application.)
4. why are you better than everyone else?
because i think i am. as a general rule if you believe you're better than people they'll believe it too. i'm also terrified of large groups of people. which often comes off as being snobby and stuck up. so i don't even have to try and act like a bitch.
5. why do you deserve to be here?
i'm sassy as all hell. i'm also sarcastic and a little bit bitter. i find george carlin hysterically funny. once i made up a card game called 'biscuits and crackers' with my friend after we had stayed up all night. the game made no sense but i was totally into it. and i lost so i sprayed the cards around the room and she burst into tears and hysterics at the same time. i cheat at every card game, including solitaire. i cheat at most board games too. i once threw a horned melon at a bicycler because it tasted like bad cucumbers. i meant to just throw it in the street but i hit the bicycler. i think i'm anemic so i take flintstones vitamins. after i watched 'rocketman' i decided to claim my own star. but i always lose it or forget and end up making up a new one.
6. how do you show you really are elite?
being snobby when the situation seems to call for it. dressing up for no particular reason. wearing rather high heels and never giving a sign that they hurt. wearing open toed sandals in the middle of winter. never carrying an umbrella. making up aliases when talking to strangers. singing to people in other cars with elaborate hand gestures while i'm driving.
7. if you had 50 dollars would you give a bum a couple bucks?
yeah. i saw a bum once with a sign that said 'two bucks to give me what for'. i didn't have two bucks at the time, but oh man how i wished i did.
8. who is your favorite author and why?
f. scott fitzgerald. i love how effortless his prose seems, because i read in a biography that he revised everything he wrote countless times to make it flow right. i admire an external appearance of smooth effortlessness with inward struggling.
9. what is something you live by everyday?
a green eurovan. it belongs to my neighbors but they park it out front.
10. if you were an animal, what kind would you be? why?
the snow leopard cub at the zoo. it's the most darling thing and it only weighs three pounds. i want to steal it so much.
11. what kind of shoes do you wear? black adidas allstars with white stripes.
12. if you had a puppy what would you name it? why?
steve. or larry. for some reason i've always liked those names. or maybe crackers. or kettle. i like those words. i think they'd be good names.
13. compare yourself to someone famous (movie star, musician, fictional character, historical figure). why?
i suppose i would say irene adler, a acharacter from the sherlock holmes story 'a scandal in bohemia'. she was the only woman (the only person?) who ever outwitted sherlock holmes. and she was dead clever.
14. what's your favorite body part?
i really like hands and arms. backs are nice too. i like artistic hands.
15. what's your most prized possession?
i don't really have one. pretty much everything i have is superfluous, and i like it that way.
16. any special talents?
hmmm. i can lick my nose with my tongue, but so can a lot of people. i can't ride a bicycle. i can wear a sweater in the summer and not look like i'm overheating. but that might just be the anemia talking. i can crack a full-sized bullwhip, and i once caught and hogtied a sheep at a rodeo.
