Pick-up line: “Do you know what our date and the Sochi Olympics would have in common? It’d be strictly heterosexual.”
What’s your most embarrassing moment? Being tricked by my older sister that men have menstrual cycles. I was only about 8 and I went to school asking other kids if they had their period yet.
What’s the best date you’ve ever been on? The best date I have probably been on was a couple years back when my girlfriend and I took a mini-road trip to Arkansas to visit her sister. During the trip we stopped in Eureka Springs and checked out all of the little stores they had to offer and explored the little town in general. We ended up eating dinner in a little “hole in the wall” Italian restaurant. The restaurant used to be an actual home so the layout was very interesting. It was a fun trip.
As a creative writing major, what kind of stuff do you usually like to write? I like to write humorous short stories, but that still have an element of depth to them. I like to find the humor in serious situations.
