Boar's Head ham, sliced super thin.

Yes! I'm a fantastic friend.

No, I prefer optimism.

Hardly ever wear tied shoes, but when I do -- no, I think.

Store bought - Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip. If we're talking Cold Stone, I love vanilla mixed with peanut butter and white chocolate chips.

Funnily enough, I don't really know. I suspect it's not their face, since I'm so bad with faces.

RED OR PINK?
Pink!

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
My lack of willpower. 14 more pounds to go!

HAIR COLOR?
Brown, with reddish blonde highlights. But let's not talk about it. I'm not sure I like my new haircut.

Blue.

Thanksgiving dinner -- roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, crescent rolls, with pudding pie for dessert!

Happy endings, in the Shakespearean style!
