      most jobs i've had have been awesome or had a really great perk, but i wouldn't call them great jobs. like, i don't miss them and was relieved to be moving on. but one stands out and that is subway sandwiches! i've worked at 3, but the one i loved was in albuquerque, nm.

      i started work there when i first dropped out of college, or i mean when i dropped out of college for the first time. i applied at this one totally far away from my house on a whim and very easily got the job.

      i loved it because it was like a family, something i look for in a job but usually don't find. this was 9 years ago and i still remember everyone's name, i even kept in touch with a few people when i first moved away. the manager and owner were really great and cared about us and the shop. the work was easy, but interesting enough; and you could wear a visor instead of a hat, which allows for much cuter hairstyles.

      fond memories are: walking to whole foods to buy apples to put in the tuna when making sandwiches for ourselves, talking about digimon, and working with two boys who were named jeremy and ira. (during this time conan o'brien had a skit involving two characters named jeremy and ira, and it made me extremely happy to say that i'd be working with them.)

      this is hard... i think i would always say yes to bacon wrapped hot dogs, but *should* always say yes to bacon chocolate. so i'm going to go with chocolate.

      ok, last one... hmm, i don't know, who's more famous: danny glover or john waters? i think probably danny glover, it was more fun meeting him. generally, i don't like to meet famous people though. i get too shy and embarrassed.

      here's another, this is an easy one: alan rickman! but jarvis cocker is a close second.

      since no one's asked me anything, i'm asking myself a random question... this would obviously be japanese. and if i could pick two, then i would also choose spanish. these are two languages i've studied in the past and very frustratingly the moment where i would instantly become fluent never came, though i was always waiting for it.

      in japanese, to speak fluently is to say "pera pera"「ぺらぺら」. it's onomatopoeic and i think describes the sound of speaking fluently quite nicely.
