Here are my answers to the questions Jen asked:
1. What is your favorite childhood memory?
The one that popped to mind first is from when I was super super little.... My Papa (I lived with my Grandparents) came home with what was probably a cell phone and he took the house phone and put me in one room with it, and then walked across the kitchen into a new room. I could still see him but he was on the other side of the house. He called me on the phone and I could hear his voice in the phone and see him at the same time. I thought that was pretty spiffy at the time.
2. If you could choose any airport to have a layover in, which would it be and why?
Seoul Korea. That airport is amazing. And they have Chili pepper plants for decor. Although... as bad as LAX is, it's kinda fun to make fun of while you're there....
3. What is your favorite book?
That's not a fair question.
4. What do you do when you have a short 15 minute block of free time?
Read. Call a friend. Blog..... depends on the mood :)
5. Have you ever collected anything? What?
Dolls. Sorta... I used to get them as gifts, so I would keep them and display them in my room. I don't have a ton, but it's probably the best collection I've got.
6. What is the craziest place you've ever been?
China. Those roads and drivers... if you only knew....
7. What is in the trunk of your car (or if you don't have a car, what is at the bottom of your backpack?)
Currently in the trunk of my car (apart from the spare tire, tools, and brake fluid...) A slackline, frisbee, stuffed animal, and a giant twister mat.
8. If you had to be an animal, what would you be and why?
Probably a bird, I think flying would be legit.
9. What's the best prank you've ever played?
Bahaha.... probably the time I stole all of someones right shoes (just the right ones) and passed them out to a bunch of people. I told each person with a shoe only one other person who had them. It was so great :)
10. Who is your hero and why?
I kind of have this reverence for people who teach preschool. I think they're both crazy and amazing.
11. What do you think the perfect age is - and why?
2. You're old enough to walk around and young enough to not get in trouble because everything you do is still cute.

Yay! The prank question was just for you :) I remember that prank. Although I usually never fill these things out, this one was kind of fun - especially since you get to make up the questions to ask people :)
