Over a week in, and there are no questions yet for beebee!
-What is your favorite color? i love color in general. i'd say my favorite is yellow, because it just makes me happy. i also really love mint green. -What artist on the Bonnaroo 2015 lineup excites you the most? i think as of now, i'm most excited for run the jewels. they get me through my gym routine most days, and are one of the only artists i can think of that make me happy and simultaneously make me feel tough. -Burritos, tacos, or quesadillas? before i came here, i was on the moe's website playing with the nutrition calculator, so this seems appropriate. depends on how hungry i am, but usually burritos (i'm usually really hungry?). quesadillas when i mostly want cheese!
oh girl. i don't know how to answer this one! i think it changes with my mood and over time, but a few of my top favorites always are get me bodied (extended remix), why don't you love me, schoolin' life, yonce, diva, love on top and until the end of time.
What did you want to be when you were a kid? a teacher or a singer. neither of which involved wiping other people's butts. i wish i could find the old cassettes of me singing christina aguilera into my karaoke machine.
What is your favorite childhood memory? i have so many, growing up with sisters and in a neighborhood with a ton of kids, but this is the first one that came to mind. when i was in third grade, an announcement came over the loud speaker in my classroom that i had to go to the office because my dad was there to get me. i was a super nervous kid, so i immediately thought everyone i knew was dead. that's obviously the only reason he would be there. he had both of my sisters with him, and i started bawling my eyes out. we left the building and i asked what was wrong. he said "NOTHING. WE'RE GOING TO SEE TOY STORY INSTEAD OF SCHOOL! so we skipped the rest of the day and went to the movies. it was so sweet and awesome.
What's your favorite color? yellow. and minty green, these days.
Are you currently wearing socks? If so, what color? nope. i only wear socks to the gym, with snow boots, and when i cover my feet in vaseline or coconut oil before bed.
What is your favorite T-shirt and why? a few years ago, my bf got an all-over print cheez-it shirt made for me. i hardly wear it, but i love it so much.
What was your favorite vacation? this is a toughie. i've never been somewhere i didn't like, except goshen, indiana (the park model trailer capital of the world or something). i went on two cruises with my family that were so amazing. we got to see some really great places. i also fell in LOVE with new orleans when we went for my cousin's wedding about a year and a half ago. i keep trying to find an excuse to go back.
If money were no issue, where would you go and what would you do? oh man, i want to go everywhere. i'd like to do more cruises to places that are so beautiful, they don't feel real. i'd also take my dad to italy. my grandfather never made it there before he passed away, and it's the one place that my dad has always dreamed about.
What is your biggest pet peeve? littering. and loud chewers. and clutter, in general. gives me so many nerves.
Do you enjoy traveling? i love it so much. it's probably my favorite thing to do when i get the chance. (we just booked our hotel for columbus in april!)
What's your favorite movie? TV show?
Favorite band/musician? Song?
Do you have any hobbies? all of them! i like to be outside. walking, hiking, frisbee golf, working in my garden. i like doing crafts and dancing and taking my scream pictures. and eating. mostly eating.
What's your favorite season and why? i think i like fall best. i can do all of the things that i love about summer, but not be so sweaty. plus, it gets really pretty outside in the week between heatstroke and blizzards.
Why does everyone act like idiots on St. Patricks day? pittsburgh was rated #1 for st. patrick's day celebration, according to a list that everyone i went to high school with posted on fb yesterday. i actively avoid the city on parade day every year.
What is your favorite holiday? halloween! i love working on my costumes, and all the wigs.
Do you have any weird OCD-type things that you do? when i was in school, the campus therapist unoffically diagnosed me with ocd. so yes, all of the things. i get terrible anxiety over things that i logically know are silly, and i'm actively working on trying to calm some of these nerves (but don't try to high-five me, bonnaroo!).
What is your most embarrassing memory? you know when they make you climb the rope in gym? in third grade, i made it to the top, to the ceiling of the gym. on my way back down, they had a student holding the rope instead of a teacher. the kid let go. i stepped down to the next knot, and it came untied. i fell from the ceiling flat onto my back on the gym floor. the substitute gym teacher screamed at me in front of my whole class because i was crying. everyone laughed. after that, no one was allowed to climb the rope in my elementary school anymore, and it was my fault. i don't know if that's embarrassing, or just a story about how terrible third graders are (and that teacher, dang!).
What is your biggest fear? ever since i was a kid, i have been afraid of losing everyone that i love. every time i got called to the office in school, i was sure someone died. usually, it was just that one of my younger-than-me sisters got lice from the kids at school.
Why did the chicken cross the road? i don't know, but i hope that he doesn't step on a crosswalk in the rain, because those things are slippy!
If you could jump out of a plane, like the safe way, would you? i like to think i would. i think real-life b would be too nervous, but vacation b is a whole other lady.
If you had the chance, would you go to outer space? maybe if i knew that i could come back home afterwards.
Which is the best planet? i always liked jupiter, for having those sneaky rings and all the moons.
Do you have any siblings? i have two sisters, 22 and 25. the youngest comes to bonnaroo with me, so maybe you can meet her at brunch! also, she's my soulmate and favorite human.
What's your favorite thing about your job? days when no one poops themselves. the kids i work with can be tough, but they're some of the coolest people i've ever met. it's still surprising how strong a relationship i could build with people who i couldn't verbally communicate with.
Are you hungry? absolutely. i'm using the internet at my parents house, but they left for a cruise this morning, so there is no food! there have been multiple conversations about pizza in the last hour.
What should I get to eat? have you gone to melt? i would go there so much if it was here. but really, it's sunday, so pizza.
What is your favorite food? i love carbs. mac and cheese, pizza, grilled cheese. i miss them since i'm trying to be healthy.
What do you like on your pizza? i like plain white pizza. with all the garlic. ooh, and pierogies.

Who knows you best? my youngest sister. she's my person.
Would you rather be twice as smart or twice as happy? definitely happy.
If you could only use one condiment for the rest of your life, which one would it be? i pretty much hate them all. is cheese sauce a condiment? i choose that.
What are you most looking forward to? i've been having a rough time lately, with my dog passing and some other things, so i'm looking forward to the distractions of the shows i have coming up and bonnaroo. but i think mostly i'm looking forward to my sister graduating and coming home. we've been living apart for most of the last ten years, with me going to college, then her leaving when i came back home. i can't wait for her to be back home full-time so i can feel like a real person again.
How many states have you been to? i'm from pa. i'm not counting states i've just driven through/only seen the airport. i've been to delaware, florida, illinois, indiana, louisiana, maryland, new jersey, new york, ohio, south carolina, tennessee and west virginia. so not enough.
How many countries (outside the US) have you been to? i've only been to canada, mexico and some islands in the caribbean.
How many Bonnaroos have you been to? this year will be my seventh!
What festivals do you plan on going to this year? right now, only bonnaroo. the only other festival i've been to is made in america 2013.
What's the furthest you've traveled for a show (non-festival)? not terribly far. last summer, i drove to and from baltimore in one day for beyonce/jay-z. it's about 4 hours each way. that was a beautiful mess.
How much is too much - for the price of a ticket? it depends on the artist. i've never paid over $70 for a single show.
What's your team for March Madness this year? i don't like basketball, and also know absolutely nothing about it.
You put pierogies on pizza? Can't decide of that's genius or gross. Gonna have to give it a try. it's amazing. but not the places that say they have pierogi pizza, but really it's just mashed potatoes on crust with cheddar cheese on top. i'm talking a nice garlicky, cheesy pizza with real pierogies all over.
What's the most embarrassing album you own? i'm not really embarrassed of anything that i listen to, but around here, it's probably embarrassing to own all four one direction albums. on cd. from the store. not downloaded. bought with hard-earned own money from the local target.
What is your favorite smell? vanilla everything. i like myself and my surroundings to smell like a cupcake.
What is one food that everyone else seems to love but you just don't like? oh man, a lot of things. i'm a super picky eater. i don't eat meat, condiments or really any candy (with the exception of reese's and dark chocolate). i eat my salad plain, my cereal without milk, and pretty much anything that is cardboard and/or dust. covered in cheese, of course.
What is your favorite christmas/holiday album? every year since i was probably 12 years old, i've always put on nsync-home for christmas and hanson-snowed in. they both make me so happy, especially when them hear it out in public at a store or something.
If you could throw a dinner party & invite anybody, dead or alive, who would you invite? if it's not already obvious, i'm pretty obsessed with pop culture. it would be fun to use the opportunity to have fun with some of the people who make me laugh laugh laugh (and are some of the top babes on my list!).
(he can bring the owl) (would be un-invited if he was eating waffles)
(he can bring the pup)
What would you serve them? i'm not an especially great cook, but i've mastered my black bean burgers and butternut squash mac and cheese. i think i'd go with that so i can't screw it up!
If you could get a Sharpie tattoo on your back, what would it be? i've always said that the only things i love enough to get tattooed on me are my sister and my puppy boy. i already have a tattoo of my dog. i don't think i'd ever be creepy enough to get a tattoo of my sister (we look a lot alike).
Have you ever won a trophy? For what? my parents attic is full of trophies. i have many participation trophies from my terrible years playing soccer. i played softball until i was 21, and was actually on some really awesome teams. i have a lot of championship trophies from my teenage years.
Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? target. they have everything i want in life. cute clothes, stationery, cleaning supplies, animal salt and pepper shakers. i go at least once a week just to browse the aisles, and i'd be in trouble if i could buy everything that i wanted!
What are some of the different jobs that you have had in your life? i've only had three jobs. i started working at dairy queen when i was sixteen. i worked there until sophomore year of college. i worked in admissions at the pittsburgh zoo during breaks in college and for the summer after i graduated. i got my current job a few months out of college, and have been there a little over five years. i'm a counselor at a residential treatment program for special needs/at-risk "kids" (up to age 21).
What's under your bed? absolutely nothing. i'm really good at throwing away/donating everything i own once every two months or so. there's going to be nothing left in my house but me and my bed.
Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets? i like being up early enough to catch a sunrise, because i feel like i've accomplished something, even if i'm completely unproductive for the rest of the day.
If you could ask your future self one question what would it be? do we figure all of this out eventually?
What's your favorite TV commercial? i still laugh at the ickey woods "get some cold cuts" commercial.
