8. What’s the last thing you Googled?
Could a Megalodon shark still exist? (I watched “Jaws”)

Dogs. The cat I had growing up was great though, she was a cross eyed Himalayan who would reassuringly put her paw on my foot.

My dad was under the weather during my final performance in a Shakespeare competition. When I finished I couldn’t find him in the audience. This was because he decided to watch from outside the doors so as not to distract me or anyone else with his cough. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Rose McGowan (still crushing pretty hard — she is a bad-ass and very inspiring)
20. What would you cook if Nic Cage was coming to your house for dinner?
Wait — is it still my last meal? Furthermore, is it my last meal because Nic Cage is coming to take revenge on me? That’d be cool. Well, hope he likes Domino’s.
