I love answering these types of interview questions. Since my day to day life is no where nearly as exciting as my brain and the opinions that are stored there, I know this will make for a much more interesting read sometime in the future. Taking the plunge...

What’s your favorite language?
What a coincidental way to begin this! Its no secret to myself and those that know me know that my heart beats only for the German language. While I have never fully mastered it, I get so much pleasure from hearing and reading it. Learning new things is a cinch and just comes really naturally for me. French sounds like mush, Spanish is fun and its always helpful to understand the telenovelas, but German is the language of conquering, warrior, mountain climbers!

What you will never wear?
I have a very strong aversion to pleather or anything that is supposed to be leather but isn't. I figure, this is the one thing that will last forever and only look better with age so its worth it to spend the money and have it. Ironically, producing sythentic products in an attempt to have a vegan or "green" wardrobe produces way more pollution and will likely end up in a landfill than something that is a byproduct of the meat industry. Sad but true. Wait, what was the question? Oh yeah, and I'll never wear Crocs. Blech.

What’s your favorite song ever?
Ever? That's a lot of pressure on me to pick just ONE song and not to mention tons of pressure on the one song that's got to get me through life! But I'm gonna pick "Amarillo By Morning" by George Strait. Man, I've been stone cold drunk and crying AND laughing my ass off while riding a mechanical bull during different times in my life and that song's been playing. Plus its about the rodeo and bullriding. What's not to love about that shit?

One thing you could not live without.
I couldn't live without internet access. Life fucking sucked before the wonderful interwebs came about and while I liken the computer to crack cocaine laced with heroin and angel dust, it serves its practical purposes. Without the internet I never would have: met my best friend, found my dog, Banjo Eyes and score a whole bunch of shit without ever having to step foot in a retail store. Heavenly.

When do you tell a lie?
This sucks, but lying is one of my worst habits. I lie for many reasons but mostly because I don't want to hurt people's feelings. I'm human so that means I lie to protect my own ass on occasion. It also means that sometimes lying is just so much easier than telling the truth. But the avoidance of hurting people is the main reason that I commit this horrible sin. That, and well, I needs to keep my secrets. Some things you just have to keep to yourself, you know?
