Random Questions:

1. When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?

No, not really because I set my snooze for about four snooze worths (is that a legit measurement? I think so...) before I actually need to get up. So no, I'm not being lazy. I think I'm being pretty practical.

2. What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?

My siblings and I were never allowed to watch cartoons in the morning. But Recess on channel 48 at five after school was always super clutch. "Because being a kid isn't all about education...you need a little recess every 2 classes"-Mikey.

3. What is your dream vacation?

Clear visibility, negative seven, zero wind factor, four inches of fresh powder, fresh wax on my skis, my iPod fully charged and me, standing at the top of the Whistler peak looking down and never looking back.
