Your favorite things are?
Writer/Book: I could never pick just one!  I tend to prefer fiction over non-fiction, contemporary works over the classics, American literature over British literature, and young adult literature over adult works.  That being said, some of my all time favorites include: Grapes of Wrath, the Harry Potter Series, and Little Women.  Some recent favorites include: Wonder and To Kill a Mockingbird.

Film: Forrest Gump or Pitch Perfect

Word: "Home."  I used to believe that home was a single place--the house that I lived in.  In the past few years, I've come to realize that, for me, home is less about a building or geographical place, and more about the people I share it with and the memories I make there.  I'm lucky to have moved around a bit and have several wonderful places to call home--Illinois, Colorado, and Rio.

City: Overall, I don't really care for cities, but Rio is definitely the exception!

Preferred musical group/band, meal/drink?

I'll listen to almost anything, but my favorite genres are American country and alternative.  

 

Tough call!  There's two Italian fast food chains in the Chicago area that often combine into a single restaurant: Portillo's/Barnelli's.  They have the best chicken chopped salad, delicious garlic bread, and the most amazing chocolate cake!  There's also an awesome Mexican fast food chain in the States called Chipotle.  I love their cilantro-lime rice, pico de gallo, and guacamole! If it's frozen or fruity, count me in!  Frozen lemonades, Icees, Cherry 7-Up, fresh fruit juice, Guaraná...
