      I really dig it all. I just like knowing how things WORK. I mean, physics literally affects EVERYTHING, and that's what's so cool about it.

      Quite a weird story, actually. Started in high school. I was SET on going to college for film and creative writing, I even had a school picked out and started on entry essays & portfolios. And then I took physics my junior year with two of my friends, and had an AMAZING teacher, and some switch flipped in me... ended up dropping an arts class in my senior year (one that has a waitlist) so that I could take AP Physics. Everyone thought I was crazy. But I fell in love. Somewhere in watching my teacher's passion, and having fun with my classmates, and just being so enveloped with how physics is EVERYWHERE... couldn't get enough. So now I'm studying it in college. :)

      Mmmm I would totally have this slave take my finals for me. Assuming, of course, that my finals were all on the same day, and that I had an educated slave. I just hate finals.

      Easy. Dogs, and Fall. Both make me beyond happy (and both are much easier on my allergies than their counterparts) ;)

      You're going to have to talk to your girlfriend about that. I mean, in the world of women, it's broken up into two categories... women that are Joy, and women that are not Joy. So do some soul-searching, my friend.

      I would probably just drive. Driving is one of the most relaxing things to me... you know, when you're on an open road, the sun is shining, and your favorite music is playing. It's a nice escape for me.

      Unfortunately I haven't written/produced any shows. I would LOOOOVE to, though. If I could, I would probably just highlight the universe. People don't understand just how much is out there, beyond the solar system. They don't realize that there are billions of other galaxies, each holding billions of stars... I think the most effective show would be one that is both awe-inspiring and humbling. To me, that's all astronomy, but to everyone else, it may need a little more of a push. :)

      I am certainly going to try!! Possibly during my spring break, which is coming up in two weeks. But I feel it is worthy of a road trip.

      I have!! I met @Astro_Mike back in November at the STS-129 #nasatweetup. It was INCREDIBLE. I believe my first words to him were "you're so tall!" *headdesk*
      Also met astronaut Scott Kelly (@stationCDRkelly). He signed my nasatweetup badge. :D
