Q. Who the hell are you?
A. If I haven't yet answered this, (and I think I have, multiple times) I'm Lindsay. I'm seventeen, and I write, read and sleep. Sometimes I eat, too. For lots of rather boring info on me, go to my 'me' page.

Q. What's with all these links? They're really freaking annoying.
A. Okay, I had no idea how to make the site, and I had a few pieces of writing along with some crap about me. So, way back when 'round the time I found Geocities, I had some random poems and me-stuff, so I put a row of poem, and a row of me-related shit. And voila..... The rest grew around it.

Q. Did you steal that name Choose Your Own Adventure from those books?
A. Yeah, but the name fits so well, I couldn't really deny it. Catchy, no?

Q. So *Miz Muzik* what kind of music do you like?
A. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. You have to respect the three P's: Phish, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd. I like classic rock, alternative, classical, and some (but very rarely) pop. The Chili Peppers, Fiona Apple, The Beatles, U2, The Greatful Dead, and a lot of obscure stuff.

Q. Your writing really sucks.
A. Yeah, some of it does. Some of it is kind of adequate. I like feedback on it, though-- makes me feel special. It's hard to write poetry when you're a teenager. Too much of it sounds trite, and what doesn't sounds out of place. So I'm experimenting with fiction, and it's been treating me well.

Q. You seem to make fun of angst-ridden teenagers a lot, yet you also appear to be one.
A. Yeah, that's a given. You can not *find* a teenager without angst. I've looked. But while I also suffer from the throes of adolescence, I laugh at myself. What I mean is: "Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive." (Elbert Hubbard) Yes, I'm a hypocrite. But don't worry, I'm in a support group.

Q. What's your family like? I see a picture of them with no explanation.
A. My older brother, Jesse, is studying television and radio production at Ithaca College. He's pretty good at what he does. He's 21 (yay), and we get along pretty well considering he has to put up with my rocketing hormones.He's actually in LA for the time being, working at e! and MTV studios. Lucky him. My mom is a real estate broker. She's at the top of her game, and still has her sanity: God bless her. My dad runs a Chevrolet dealership in Yonkers, which happens to be my rents' home town, while my dog sits home and gains weight.

Q. What the fuck is with those eight pages of quotes?
A. I love quotes. I'm not smart enough to think of the witty things those people do, so I steal what they say and sound ever so eloquent while doing so. Actually... I think there are seven pages so far, but I have another 4 or 5 on the way. My senior quotes: "In the depth of winter, I learned within me there was an invincible summer." (Albert Camus) and "You are the music while the music lasts." (T.S. Eliot)

Q. Lots of random ass people have signed your guest book. Where do these people come from?
A. PLEASE SIGN MY GUESTBOOK! Seriously, I live for feedback. People find my site through other web sites where I have posted random writing, and various places where I am linked to. Go sign, grrr.

Q. Are you bi/curious?
A. No, actually. I like my men.Yes, I'm seventeen and haven't had a boyfriend. But it really doesn't bother me all too much. Commitment is highly over rated, plus, I don't like being responsible to someone else. I'm much too hot and cold for that.I can wait a year for ollege. Cynicism is too hard in high school for dating.

Q. Can you link me to your site?
A. If your site doesn't suck, sure. Just e-me ([email protected]).

Q. I don't get you, MizMuzik. And what the hell kind of name is mizmuzik?
A. It's called a lame screen name I picked out when I was twelve. Again, I was TWELVE!

Q. "Mizzy, whats up with you being so hot?" (--Jordie, CT)
A. It's the red hair. Natural phenomenon 843-- Men unwillingly attracted to red hair.

Q. "You have nice boobs, can I touch them?" (--Cliff, CT)
A. Ugh, if your name wasn't Cliff. What the hell were your parents smoking?

Q. "In the end is the love we take actually equal to the love we make?" (--Pablo Sanchez, CA)
A. Actually, the love you take should be significantly more than the love you make, due to the fact that when you make love you burn calories, those calories contribute to weight loss, which in turn makes people want you even more, leading to a surplus in taken love.

Q. "You seem to like reading a lot, what are your favorite books?" (--Justine, ME)
A. Do you really want to know?! An assorted collection of books by various authors: The Bell Jar (Plath), Franny and Zooey (Salinger), Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy [all five books] (Adams), 1984 (Orwell), Starring Sally J Freedman as Herself (Blume), The Stranger (Camus), Breakfast of Champions (Vonnegut), Farenheit 451 (Bradbury), Lord of the Flies (Golding), The Awakening (Chopin), Color of Water (Mcbride), Contact (Sagen), Expensive People (Oates), Singin' and Swinging' (Angelou), Alice in Wonderland (Carrol).
