Q & A

All questions courtesy of Meg, Stephanie, Shawn, and this site.

1. Five ideal dinner party guests?        

I could say that I'd love to meet Dr. King, Gandhi, or the Dalai Lama (and I really would), but I'm a major goof-ball and would want to spend my ideal dinner laughing...so instead I'll say David Sedaris, Bill Murray, Chris Rock, Tina Fey, and Keith Richards (because, even though he's not a comedian, he still makes me laugh a lot).

2. Pirates or ninjas?

Ninjas...obviously...

 

3. Favorite movie?

Hmmmm....as in actual quality of the film? Then I'd say The Godfather. But if we're talking a movie that I could watch over and over, then Wedding Crashers, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Knocked Up, etc. I'm very high-brow.

4. A song that you can listen to over and over?

Dashboard by Modest Mouse

5. Favorite cheese?

Provolone! It's amazing!

6. Favorite drink?



A giant glass of whole milk...Is it becoming clear that I have a dairy fixation??

7. All work and no play make Melissa a _____________?

Heinous b****

 

8. What is your favorite animal?  

Goats! One day I will be a goat herder.  Oh yes, I will be a goat herder.

12. If a movie was being made of your life and you could choose the actor/actress to play you, who would you choose and why?

13. Name the most famous person you’ve had a face-to-face encounter with.  

David Sedaris when I was days away from having Noah, having contractions, and so hugely pregnant that I couldn't even stand up (the theater had to bring me a chair to sit in and scoot myself along in line). But I was determined to meet him and it was worth it (he drew me a turtle with an Abraham Lincoln head and suggested names for the baby).

   

14. If there were a holiday in your honor what would it celebrate?

Awkwardness J

15. Where would you like to retire and why?

My family  

17. If you could have a condiment dispensed from your navel, what would it be?

Ranch – I truly believe that everything would taste better smothered in ranch. Everything!

Country Mouse for sure. I love to visit cities and have easy access to them, but I need to be around fresh air and trees.
