A. The links are an easy way to maneuver around my website. At least, the easiest way I could think of. Look, I'm just not that tech-savy, ok?
Q. Are you a natural red head?
A. Yes.
Q. What kind of music do you listen to?
A. Mostly chill rock. I'm a huge Phish fan, but I'm also pretty devoted to Bob Dylan, Wilco, The Beatles, Pearl Jam, Radiohead and Neil Young, to name some examples. But, hey, I'll listen to hip-hop or jazz, just don't expect me to be as familiar with those genres. Truth me told, I'm just a little white girl from upstate New York.
Q. How little?
A. 5'3''. Shut. Up.
Q. Ha, that's pretty little.
A. Yeah, no shit.
Q. Do you have any hobbies, other than reading and writing and music. You know, something not so generic.
A. I take sleep very seriously. Don't ever call me before 2pm or I will fucking kill you. I'm also a fantastic hoola hooper and enjoy painting water colors to relax when I'm stressed from not getting disgusting amounts of sleep. My hobbies include quitting smoking, gin and tonics, and carbs.
Q. There's not many pictures of you on your website. You're not even smiling in the main picture of yourself! Are you really ugly?
A. Hideous. And angry. Grrrr smiling is for losers grrrrrr. Grrrr.
Q. Why did you decide to study in Nottingham, England?
A. I didn't want to be in London, I can't handle huge cities, Oxbridge seemed too snooty and Nottingham was next down on the list.
Q. English, Creative Writing and Philsophy? What are you going to do with your life?
A. Become an oil tycoon?
Q. Do you like movies?
A. Yeah. Although I'm not the Hollywood afficianado like my older brother, Jesse, I always enjoy a good film. Some of my favorites include: Casablanca, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Graduate, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, The Usual Suspects, The Big Lebowski, Magnolia
Q. You have an older brother?
A. Yup. Jesse's 24 and aging rapidly. Just kidding. He moved out to LA after he graduated from Ithaca College way up north with a degree in Communcations. Sorry, Jesse... Radio and Television Broadcasting. Whatever. Jesse is even more sarcastic and condescending than I am, which just goes to show you absolutely nothing. His favorite drink is a vodka tonic and yes, ladies, he is single!
Q. What about your parents?
A. They're not single.
Q. No... what about them.
A. Oh. Oh! They're lovely. My mom is a real estate broker and the sweetest woman you will ever meet. My dad runs a Chevy dealership in Yonkers by day and converts into a Deadhead at dusk. He goes to more concerts than most people my age.
Q. What concerts have you been to?
A. Which bands have I seen live? Definitely not as many as I'd like. Phish, Wilco, Pearl Jam, Martin Sexton, Keller Williams, The Who, The Spin Doctors, Jazz Mandolin Project, The Dead, Jethro Tull, Ben Folds, The Roots, They Might Be Giants, Percy Hill, and Yes to name some.
Q. What's your favorite food?
A. A t-bone and mashed potatos. But I also like chicken flavored ramen, mint chocolate chip ice cream, Reeces Pieces and fresh crab. When my best friends Lauren and Liz are home, we go to a special chinese take out place and order chicken and broccoli and broccoli. And, trust me, I love broccoli, but this certain dish is amazing. Trust me.
Q. Lauren... Liz... and Lindsay?
A. Yes, we noticed. If friends want to invite us somewhere, we are collectively known as the L-Crew. It's just easier that way, and we like it.
Q. Easier or lame?
A. Both.
Q. Are you a republican or a democrat?
A. Are you kidding? I'm the daughter of two Jewish New Yorkers who sent me to Brandeis. Brandeis.
Q. So...
A. Democrat. Idiot.
Q. You're Jewish? Heeeey.... I thought you were a red head. Shouldn't you be Irish or something?
A. My parents are both Jewish and I was raised Jewish. As for personal beliefs, I've been an atheist even before I knew the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Just kidding, I hopped out of the womb with a Clinton bumper sticker. Just kidding. And, no, I'm not Irish, I'm actually half Russian and half Austrian-Polish-Hungarian-something else. You know, American? Lack of cultural identity? Does this ring a bell?
Q. I get it. You're a real smart ass.
A. I know what you are, but what am--
Q. End it.
A. Only if y--

A. But--
Q. PSSSSSCH.

Q. AAAAAAAAAAAAnd cut.
