Have you ever made out with someone in a movie theater and completely missed the movie?

Actually, I've NEVER made out in a movie theatre. I figure, if I'm paying that much money I should actually watch it. I can make out later, in the parking lot.



That's true, but have you ever walked out of a movie because it was so bad?

No...but I fell asleep during Moulin Rouge and then it became some sort of craze and I felt out of the loop.



Have you ever kissed a picture, your T.V. screen or your monitor?

Definitely. But what people find most creepy lately is that I kiss my orchid, George. Yes, I named it, and yes even he needs some lovin.



Haha, why George? McFly?

Because I think that's an adorable guy's name, actually, but good Back to the Future reference.



Nice, I didn't know if you'd get it or not. I was just thinking, isn't Martha a really weird name for a little girl?

Yeah, you're right. Like naming your daughter Agnes.



I'm a believer that there are some names that're just meant for kids and some that're just meant for grandparents. Like Evan, that's a kids name. But Mortimer is a grandpa's name.

So are we supposed to change our names for different periods in our lives? That would be fun actually.



Wow, that's an awesome idea. I think we should.

I'll look into the legal side of it and get back to you.



I look forward to hearing that. What's your favorite band in the world?

I'm going to break the rules and give you a top 3... Brand New, The Good Life, and Modest Mouse.



What about the greatest fictional band?

Stillwater, from Almost Famous. I've always wanted to be Penny Lane.



Aww, I would've picked the Beets personally.

I still get Killer Tofu stuck in my head sometimes.
