Name: Eve
Age: 17
Location: Boston, MA
1. top 5 bands: I’m mentioning solo artists, too. Deal with it. Ani Difranco, Sublime, Elliott Smith, Ben Folds Five, Simon and Garfunkel
2. top 5 movies: Waiting for Guffman, The Hours, The Big Lebowski, Amelie, Hedwig and the Angry Inch
3. 5 words you constantly use: Seriously, Ridiculous, Awkward, Fucking Psychotic
4. why are you better than everyone else? I’m more intelligent, creative, interesting, witty, and hot than most people.
5. why do you deserve to be here? Because I’m better than you.
6. how do you show you really are elite? I use big words that you don’t understand. And I’m going to Yale.
7. if you had 50 dollars would you give a bum a couple bucks? Yes. But I'm most likely to give the money to a street performer.
8. Will you cry if you don’t get in? Are you kidding me?
9. what is something you live by everyday? “Il faut être toujours ivre, tout est là ; c'est l'unique question. Pour ne pas sentir l'horrible fardeau du temps qui brise vos épaules et vous penche vers la terre, il faut vous enivrer sans trêve. Mais de quoi? De vin, de poésie, ou de vertu à votre guise, mais enivrez-vous!”
-Baudelaire (Quick translation: One must always be drunk…of wine, poetry, or virtue)
10. if you were an animal, what kind would you be? why? A kangaroo. Because they can carry everything in their pouches. And how fucking cool is that?
11. what kind of shoes do you wear? Depends on my mood and the season. Right now? Black flip-flops.
12. if you had a puppy what would you name it? why? Major Major, after my favorite character in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22.
13. Compare yourself to someone famous (movie star, musician, fictional character, historical figure). why? Phillip Seymour Hoffman, my favorite actor. From the roles he chooses and the way he acts I can tell that he’s quirky and intelligent with great taste and a sense of humor just like me.
14. what's your favorite body part? My mouth. I can do all my favorite things with it: speak, eat, sing (when no one’s listening), play the clarinet, make out, and…well, you sick fucks, you can imagine what else.
15. what's your most prized possession? My clarinet. I’ve been playing since 4th grade. And if you think that makes me a loser, it just goes to show how much better than you I am.
16. any special talents? Making witty comments and persuasive arguments, playing the clarinet, writing, and being the life of the party.
EDIT: By popular demand, I have decided to post the one-and-only picture of me available on the internet. Sadly, because I don't have a digital camera, I have to resort to my prom picture. http://www.photoaccess.com/share/gSlide.jsp;jsessionid=7CEC9AEDEE43D89D50C826C955C86757?cb=PA&svr=web3&ID=A0660C26F3E
