      I actually don't remember any of my lines, and that makes me sad! However, I do remember one specific quote: "Who needs a handgun when you've got a semi-automatic?"

      I wish I knew who wrote this question - it was probably great to meet you too! That was such a fun experience, and I am still so grateful that I was able to be a part of it.

      I love that you wrote "when you grow up". First and foremost, I love to write. Whatever I end up doing "when I grow up" is going to involve writing.

      I used to say, "If I can be paid to write full-time, I would be happy." However, I love so many other things: being an editor, being a creative director, marketing, public relations, dabbling in website design and graphic design, etc.

      Whatever I end up doing, I can promise you that it will be my own. Whether I own a business or write as my own personal brand, I WILL BE MY OWN BOSS.

      I need constant creative freedom. I need a challenge. I need to be in charge. Though I can and have found full-time jobs that fulfill most of these things, I will always have to answer to someone else until I can answer to myself.

      I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I don't trust Canadian men with ivy league degrees who wear red corduroy pants. I especially don't trust Canadian men with ivy league degrees who wear red corduroy pants when they buy my brother and his friend beer and refuse to buy any for me.

      Most men look 100 times hotter when they don a suit. I like being a wedding date because the guy will usually step it up, and I can lust over his suit-clad body the whole night.

      Three-piece suits? Well, they are a suit. Aren't they kind of formal though?

      Suspenders? If you can pull off suspenders, more power to you. Hell, if you can pull off suspenders and still look sexy to me, let's get married.

      I got a message for you fucking haters. I got the same rights as everyone else around here just because I have red hair. I won't cower down. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, I DON'T CARE. GET OUT OF HERE. Fuck you. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otphq5MuVqA)

      Feb, why are you still Internet stalking me? I invited them because I never completely trust a man who wears red corduroy pants. Are you satisfied now?

      Well, I get a lot of inspiration from people I talk to about social media on a daily basis, especially on Gchat (Dan O'Brien, who probably wrote this question). I also get a lot of great feedback from all my Twitter friends.

      If I could interview anyone I wanted for Comma 'n Sentence, these people would be New York Times columnist David Carr, media personality Julia Allison (only because I want to ask her questions that no one else asks), Whole Foods CEO John Mackey (I'd find some way to relate our interview to social media), the founders of Google, and Hillary Clinton (she has some interesting ideas about Internet freedom).

      I like both places for different reasons. I like Montville because it's my home, because my parents live there, because my childhood bedroom is there, because my beloved book collection is there, because I've spent a lot of time planning running paths there, and because I can drive around and remember nice things that happened at various locations.

      I like Jersey City because I choose to live here, because I love urban life more than suburban life, because I love the diversity and the opportunity here, because I love its close proximity to New York City, and because the Statue of Liberty is here. I would like to make Jersey City or a nearby town in Hudson County my permanent residence.

      I am most impressed by a man who can respect me and who isn't afraid of or intimidated by my outspoken nature. I like a man who isn't afraid in general. I also like a man who knows how to kiss me the right way.

      Adrian rarely answers his phone. He also never uses chat. I know he checks Facebook often, though.

      I treat all people with respect and kindness. I genuinely like people and want to make everyone feel comfortable. However, I can be a serious bitch if I sense you are A) trying to disrespect me or B) trying to manipulate me.

      Thank you. I may make looking "beautiful" and being "cool as hell" seem easy, but I'm really a workaholic and a perfectionist. How do I do it? Know yourself well, be your best self, and own your attitude for better or for worse.

      This is going to sound cheesetastic and cliche, especially since Ayn Rand is so hot right now, but "The Fountainhead" really change my life when I read it at 17.

      If you can believe what protagonist Howard Roark believed, that you are capable of absolutely anything you want to do, then you will be your best self. Few people are truly convinced of their own potential; most are actually afraid of it.

      Baba's "safe-word" is mовчи, which means "be quiet" in Ukrainian. I'm very loud. I talk loudly on the phone, and I play music loudly.
