11 QUESTIONS FROM MEG
1. What's your favorite thing about yourself?
I don't stay mad at people for longer than 2 hours. I get over cruddy things very fast. 
2. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Definitely backpack through Switzerland. Or Patagonia, that would be fun too.
3. If you could pick a new name for yourself what would it be?
Sam.
4. What made you happy today?
Whitney Houston.
5. Favorite band/artist?
Wow that's tough. Bombay, The Shins, Oregon Coast Trail. I'm sure I'll think of 5 more I love more than anything after this post.
6. Biggest turnoff?
When people are cocky. I go to the Rock Haus a lot and theres a few people that I always see and they are way too into themselves and their skills. It makes me angry. They're not even that good. If they were like Alex Honnold or Sasha DiGiulian then I would let them talk about themselves like they do. Nothing bugs me more.
7. Worst habit?
I always say stuff and then think "wow I probably shouldn't have said that".
8. If you could be an olympic athlete in any sport what would it be?
Skiing and obviously tennis.
9. What is your biggest fear?
Losing my family. Not necessarily them dying, but just not keeping in touch or getting in a big family feud or something.
10. What is your favorite smell?
Fresh pine smell. One of my favorite things about camping is the smell of the woods. Flowers also smell good. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of artificial smells though.
11. What celebrity would play you in a movie about your life?
I don't know.
