Did you order Girl Scout cookies this year?  What kind?

No, I didn't. Okay, I lie. I did buy some of those chocolate mint ones because they're evil and they call to me everytime I look at them. La.

What is one of your favorite poems?
Submitted by marvel is my pen name.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

Mad Girl's Love Poem, Sylvia Plath

If you could have one superpower, what would you choose?

I'm such an X-Men comic junkie that many people probably think I'd say "control the weather" since Storm is my favorite X-Woman, but believe it or not, I wouldn't actually want that power. I'd want to be cyberpath (technopath) ala Sage from Marvel Comics (and coincidentally enough, my second favorite female from Marvel-verse), ala Cyborg from DC comics, ala Royal Pain from Sky High, ala Micah and Hana (Hana is only in the Heroes comics right now; her character will be introduced onto the television show later, and she might take Jessica's place in my fav female Hero character) from Heroes, etc. I'm such a tech nerd that something like that would make me overly happy.

How have people mispronounced your name?  How is it supposed to sound? 
Submitted by Lorie.   

People mispronounce my first name all the time, and I might be one of the few people who don't mind actually because I'll answer to either/or. My name is Tiara. It's pronounced "Tee-air-uh." A lot of people say "Tee-ar-uh." Since it can technically be pronounced either way, I still answer to it without offense.

Now, my maiden last name "Postell" was a different story. I would correct people in a minute when they pronounced that wrong. My family pronounces it "Pahs-tell" not "Post-tell." Other Postells might pronounce it differently, but around here, that's how it's pronounced. Dang it. It's origin is Scottish, if you just have to know. Postlewaithe is a variation of my last name.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what five people would you eat first?
Submitted by James Poling.

Hahaha. This would be the question of the day after I watched a documentary about famous cannibals throughout history. I used to be a vegetarian, and I rarely eat meat now (I only eat it because I HAVE to from time to time). I think my first solution would be, "Couldn't we just eat leaves, and bugs, and sand... or something?" I can't see myself eating human flesh. I have a hard enough time eating what I do have to eat. But after watching the documentary I mentioned earlier, I couldn't think badly of people who are desperate enough to do it. Just don't eat me. I have chicken legs and the shapeless, meatless hips of a boy! My arms are puny. You'll only get fat--not meat--from my chubby cheeks. And if you HAVE to eat me, please, make it quick. Don't keep me alive and strip off the meat for DAYS like the soldiers from WWII. 'Kay, thanks. :)
