What was the last movie you saw in theaters? 

Jurassic Park Rebirth

If you dropped food on the floor, is there a safe period to pick it back up? If yes, how long? 

Outside, definitely not. Indoors, maybe if it's like a grape or something with a skin, but I usually assume I drop something because a spirit is claiming it. So I let them have it.

Have you ever been in a parade?

Yup. Former band geek.

If you have one, what  is your favorite pokemon and more importantly, why?

Chikorita. The first pokemon game I ever got to play was Crystal, and I'm a big plant person.

If you play, who do you play as in super smash bros?

Kirby, or Daisy if she's available like in the new one.

What is the oldest thing you own?

A t-shirt from the 70's that was a promo with Elvis and Harley Davidson.

Grand Budapest Hotel, Kiki's Delivery Service (USA 1998 VHS release, I do not like the "correct" version), Hellboy, Speed Racer, Thunderheart

"The Sound of Music" by the dBs

Alphonse Mucha, but also the guy that does oil paintings of Taco Bell food.

Is there something interesting about where you’re from? 

We were almost renamed "Got Milk?" in the early '00s.

Bomb threat in freshman year.

Is there a genre of music that you can’t stand?

Modern country. Evangelical Patriotism wrapped in moralistic nostalgia.

My mom.
