      I hate you. You know ice-cream is like my second favorite! It's okay, when I'm at home I can eat fake ice-cream. BUT what am I going to do when out and about this summer? Think of the animals, that's what.

      I think you meant to say "hanging" up her clown shoes.
      Yes, sort of. She is retiring from live performance for a while. She is exploring video projects though. Stay tuned by friending her on facebook! facebook.com/lezbobo
      Her swan song was the best! She performed at Subterranean with a whole clown crew, calling themselves Lez Bobo and Friends. They opened for Katastrophe and MEN. Here's a video! http://tinyurl.com/4t3dnaa

      To work, I mostly get rides with my friend. Otherwise, I drive. Because.
      1) Ali had ankle surgery so I have to drive her to work and around town (ok, this ended about 3 weeks ago).
      2) Gas is cheap (no).
      I should ride the CTA. But honestly, when Ali and I aren't carpooling, I am with someone else. UGH! You're making me feel so guilty.
      While I'm airing it all, I should tell you that when I drive the car and park at meters, I use Ali's temporary handicap permit. It allows you to park for free at the meter! That's awesome. I DO NOT park in handicap spots, even when Ali is with me. Still, for some reason I feel guilty parking at meters for free, even though Chicago meters are the biggest scam, so I sometimes fake a limp into the building.

      I've been dreaming of being asked this question since I was in sixth grade. It was then that I started developing cystic acne. My skin was so horrible that eventually, in college, I had to go on Accutane, which is a horribly harsh prescription medication that has been to blame for birth defects and murder/suicides.
      It makes your skin worse at first, then causes your skin to practically peel off, it's so dry. You get nose bleeds and dry skin all over. Then, to top it off, Accutane causes severe clinical depression. I'm surprised I didn't murder anyone- I was a good candidate because at that time, I was also an angsty early 20-something who hated the world.
      Moral of the story: be glad you know me now: post-acne, post-angst. Also, Accutane works. To a lesser degree, so does Proactive.

      Stalker! You're back! I've been missing you.
      Listen, I've been watching way too much of the TV show, "What Not to Wear" and have been asking Ali to nominate me. There's this part where they secretly videotape you going to work and running errands. Then, when you're ambushed and told that your loved ones think you look like shit, they play back the video to prove it. Then, BAM! Free make-over! $5,000 in new clothes and shoes.
      I've been walking around looking like shit- wearing sweats and hiking boots to walk the dogs, hoping that Ali really did turn me in. I'll totally pretend like I have no fashion sense to get a free wardrobe! Or, I actually have no fashion sense and pretend like its on purpose.

      WHO. Definitely. It's all about who you know in this business. Look at how many people are idiots, but because of their connections, they rule the country/media/universities.

      I'm so in love with Brach's candy hearts. They have to be Brach's. I'm eating them right this very moment in fact. The one I just ate up said "Don't Tell". I wonder if there's one that says "Don't Ask."

      I feel like I've been asked this question on here before, but I'll answer it again since my PPs change and grow a LOT. Right now I've been really bothered by people who talk a lot.

    9. Amy Nicole Miller

      Oh, yeah! First I recommend investing in Mark Bittman's, "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian", it's like my kitchen bible- and it's as long as the Bible too.

    10. Amy Nicole Miller

      Yes. Yes, you should be ashamed. That is disgusting. I know this is politically incorrect of me to say, and I'm sure I'll get lots of hate mail for it. There are people who will tell you not to be ashamed, that what you do is your business. But you're asking me and I'm telling you that it makes me want to vomit.

    11. Amy Nicole Miller

      "Had to"? I'll answer this pretending you said "got to". I would adore being in the circus and I have always wanted to learn trapeze.

      Ali, my partner. Maybe I'm biased and maybe it's because I spend more time with her than anyone else, but she is hilarious. I like her brand of humor because she doesn't laugh at her own jokes, she's good at keeping a straight face. Totally the opposite of me.

      Summer. But you know what? I've recently been thinking about how much I love the seasons, and how it's one of the main reasons that I love the Midwest. I embrace each one and do activities relevant to each one. Fall: apple orchards and haunted houses; Winter: sledding and lots of Christmas activities; Spring: I don't know, I guess Spring is my least favorite; and Summer: beaches and lots of other things. I need suggestions for Springtime activities! I don't like sports.

      I'd rather be a vampire, for sure. Since you brought it up though- I have a prediction to make: Zombies are the new vampires, as a cultural trend, that is. I'm watching Walking Dead-finally- and it's sooooo good!

      SWEET! I am a candy fan, and that's putting it mildly. Get it, mildly, as opposed to spicy? I'm actually a wimp when it comes to really spicy foods.

      All animals are equally worthy. We shouldn't have to choose, especially when it comes to saving the life of a potential pet. Let me put in a plug for the Chicago-based animal rescue/fostering/adoption agency, ArfHouse. I could look at their website all day. Pet Finder is another good one. Please find your animal friend from a shelter, not a breeder! And online is always risky. People will sell animals on craigslist but label it as an "adoption fee" with a fake story about this little puppy they found in the alley. Nine times out of ten, it's actually one of the hundreds of dogs they breed for profit.
      All that being said, I like dogs better ;)

      When I went to Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, I found it uncomfortable to shower communally. First: It's embarrassing that my friends, especially ones I don't know so well will see me naked. Second: I don't want people I find attractive to see me naked unless I'm controlling the situation. Third: For some reason, people got really talkative in the showers. I don't really wanna laugh at your jokes about getting the Dr Bronners out of your butt crack.

      I COULD change my name. I would never change my last name if I got married. No offense to any lady out there who has recently done that, but I don't understand how come you're still doing that. Remember feminism and our views on marriage/property/etc? Is this like a post-feminism thing goin on? I don't like it.
