What does your 2015 calendar (not your schedule, your actual, physical calendar) look like?

It’s a Disney princess one from my friend! I have Aurora for my birth month.

Settlers of Catan or Monopoly?

Monopoly, especially if it’s the Disney parks version.

Do you have a favourite pen/pencil that you like to use? Why?

I always use Sharpie pens, partially because I just like the feel of them and partially because I’m not allowed to use ballpoint pens anymore.

Do you wear glasses/contacts?

Both, but in the past year I’ve mostly worn my hideous glasses.

What’s the last anime/TV show you watched?

I’m currently rewatching 30 Rock for the fourth time.

Is there a weird thing you collect for basically no reason at all – it just sort of happened?

I never planned on collecting the Disney animator dolls, but so far I have Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Merida, Rapunzel, Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff. How did that happen?

Oh and for the meme: D, H, W.

D: If you had the choice of going without writing forever or going without dinner forever, which one would you choose?

Oh gosh. No. You don’t understand. I love dinner. I love dinner so much. It’s the best meal of the day. But…I wouldn’t be able to function if I couldn’t write. And I could function without dinner. So…dinner. But I’d probably have to start eating mashed potatoes for breakfast.

H: How long have you been writing?

I’d say since I was about sevenish? I used to make up very elaborate setups when I played with my toys, and I remember when it got to the point that I started writing them down. My first story that I clearly remember was about a girl named Christina who was in a wheelchair and these two brothers named Michael and Matthew were in love with her…but I spent more time describing Christina’s clothes than writing an actual story. I just really loved the clothing descriptions in my American Girl catalogs, okay?

W: What’s your biggest pet peeve in writing?

In my own writing? Repetition. I don’t like using the same phrases over and over again, or starting sentences with the same word.

In other people’s writing- beyond the normal grammar, spelling, etc.- I hate it when there’s no depth of character or character integrity. You can give me the coolest plot ever but if I don’t give a shit about your characters then I’m not going to give a shit about the plot.

Why don’t you like your name?

#1: Caitlin is perpetually misspelled. I get Ks, Ys, Is, double Ns, hyphens…sometimes Hs, which I really don’t understand. And a D a couple of times. Like really…Caitlin. It’s Caitlin.

#2: It rhymes with my last name. I’m like Daisy-Head Maizy or Cindy-Lou Who. It’s the same pattern. I am apparently a Dr. Seuss character in disguise.

#3: The reason I got my name is STUPID. Because, see, my parents didn’t find out my gender till I was born, but they were pretty sure I was going to be a boy, so they were going to name me Charles Harrison, after Harrison Ford. I was almost named after Han Solo, y’all. Indiana Jones. How epic would that have been?

But no. They decided to pick a girl’s name at the last minute, so they got my first name from an 80s TV show called Airwolf. (My middle name is the same as my mom’s). So yeah. I was named after a random 80s TV character.

I wish I’d been named Harrison. I could be a pretty badass girl named Harrison, right??
