1. Triple major: psych, sociology, and philosophy

2. I did, but hated it. Offense-specific therapy with sex offenders. It felt wishy-washy and ineffective (at least in the ways that mattered).

3. I don't have any anymore. They used to be Armageddon and West Side Story, but last movies I saw that I really liked were World War Z and War of the Worlds. I just fricking love end-of-the-world movies. 

I do have a couple of favorite TV series, though. Walking Dead and Carnivale (from about 7 years ago).

3. I don't know. I'm a sucker for 80s John Hughes movies - 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I also love Say Anthing (not a John Hughes movie). It made me fall in love with John Cusack (I still love him). Stand By Me. The Shawshank Redemption. I realize all of these movies are from when I was a kid/teenager. I can't remember the last new movie that I truly loved.
