What is your least favorite word? C-U-Next-Tuesday. When I read UK-English novels where the word is thrown around so casually I gasp to myself. It's such a harsh word in US English!
What lunchmeat and condiments are on your favorite sandwich? Roast beef, cheddar, and horseradish sauce. Grilled and melty!
What is your favorite holiday tradition? My cousin owns a mansion in a very small town and she hosts Christmas there. The way she decorates it feels like you're on the set of the Nutcracker.

Zombies have invaded. Besides food/water/shelter/weapons, what 2 items would be your absolute necessities? No. I would just wait to die. I am not a survivor by any means and I have no interest in continuing to live in a post-apocalyptic world. Though my friends have told me they're going to kidnap me and take me to Mexico in their compound if the world falls to pieces.
