Get to know Ruth
  • Describe your ideal Sunday morning.

    Recovering from the night before and reminiscing with friends over bloody caesars. That or feeding Peter, my Tamagotchi. He's 11 now.

  • Boxers or briefs? Why?

    Boxers. Because what if I were going to fool around with my boyfriend and on that day I'd decided to wear girl briefs and then me and him were wearing the same underwear? That would be a deal breaker.

  • When you use public restrooms do you hover over the toilet?

    Hover, definitely. Hovering is a very useful skill as well because it doesn't only work in bathroom stalls. Once you've mastered a good hover you can pretty much pee anywhere you like.

  • Have you ever ran away from a cop or campus police?

    No comment.

  • Definitely or definately?

    See above.

  • Which celebrity do you think you look like?

    No idea. A stranger at a bar once told me I look like Maggie Gyllenhaal but shortly after I saw him take his shoes off and pick his feet at the table, so I don't think he was right in the head.

  • When was the last time you sat on Santa's lap?

    I was 9. He smelled of cloves and Old Spice. I asked him for a Tamagotchi.

  • Why do girls like elliptical machines so much?

    I like them because I can pretend like I'm working out when I'm really just watching Scrubs on the built in TV screen. A treadmill doesn't allow you to mask your endurance level quite so effectively.

  • Did you like Avatar?

    Is the pope a catholic? Does beer look like pee? What's not to like? 3D, fit bodies, flying horse things, Ana Lucia from Lost. The only thing that disappointed me about Avatar was the sex scene. I had anticipated a much more interesting way of making love from the Avatar species than braiding their hair together and standing in some trees.

  • Would you gain 25 pounds for $2500?

    Seeing as I gained 25 pounds for free in my first year at University. I don't see why I wouldn't do it again for money.
