(“Shinobi Demon Hunters in Love”)
3. What’s your pseudonym going to be when you become a famous gossip columnist?
Lila von Erfahrung
4. What have you written that you’re proudest of?
The paper fanzine (“Hex”) that I published myself for about five years. This led to getting a regular column in Chicago-based “Punk Planet” magazine for a few years, which led to me being a cool hipster for about two weeks.
5. Do short people got a reason to live?
It has been proven by SCIENCE that human beings of my stature (5’1″) are actually of the ideal height, as our compact size produces the most efficient use of resources and body heat, and the least amount of waste by volume. And I never have problems with, how you say it, “leg room.”

-Rob
I want to answer five questions too!
1. Which country that you have never visited do you most long to travel to?
2. Given the opportunity and the money, if you could get a good education/degree in any subject, what would it be?
3. What is your favorite beverage?
4. If you could put a wicked fatal hex on any member of the Bush Administration besides Bush himself, who would it be? And what suffering would they endure?
5. Describe your perfect picnic lunch.
1. I’ve never been to Italy. Aside from the art and the history, the Mediterranean lifestyle really appeals to me. The landscapes are beautiful, the people love life, the food is good (except for the veggies, I hear, which is odd), and there’s wine, conversation, good coffee.
2. This is a tough one. I have an uncle who just gets Masters in whatever field he’s interested in. He is a professor of economics and right now he’s getting a law degree (this is a long story, though). I’d like to do that, just get degrees for fun but also because I feel that there are huge gaps in my education. I’d love to study economics, philosophy, and history. It would take me a lifetime but it’d be fun.
3. My favorite daily beverage is lemonade. When it comes to booze, I like mojitos in the summer and gin and tonics year-round. Emily also makes a hard lemonade that is one of the best things I’ve ever quaffed. (That word is so dopey.)
4. I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t know enough about politics to answer this. Can’t I just take the whole cabinet? It’d be a Freaky Friday kinda hex, whereby they’d switch bodies with people who have been harmed by their policies. Or just by Republican policies in general. Like they get terribly ill and have no health insurance plus they eroded their savings after they were laid off and their 401K disappeared… That kind of thing.
5. I like lots of little things for a picnic. Hummus, pita squares, salads, fruit, cheeses. Emily bought this awesome apricot cheese the other day and Marc bought me a pound of dates that were better than candy. I’d bring some of that too. Plus, Emily’s hard lemonade. No dessert, I know, but I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.
This was fun!
