Every day, my Twitter feed is filled with dozens of random questions. This is where I provide the answers. It’s Ultimate X Q&A. Let’s do this.

What’s your dream car?

A 1972 Volkswagen Bug, preferably with a convertible top.

What instantly calms you down?

My cat, taking a long ride through the country, good music, or a strong hug from a sexy man.

Do you go to bed when you are tired or stay up?

It all depends on what I have left to do, the time of day or night, and my stress level at the time. All variables are figured into my decision to sleep or not to sleep.

What is a food or meal that takes you much longer to eat than everyone else?

Chinese food. I don’t get it very often so when I do manage to snag a plate from the local buffet, I eat it very slowly so I can savor and enjoy every bite.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give your 15-year-old self?

Be confident, take the scholarship, and don’t let others hold you back. And even if you don’t understand it now, STAY in Wilmington. Once you leave the nest, don’t come back.

Attend a party or host a party?

I’d rather attend. That way, I can leave when I choose to.

What is the greatest television theme song?

Those Were the Days, the opening theme song from All In The Family. So to the point, yet iconic. It’s a true classic.

What was your favorite subject back in school?

I enjoyed history, English, Business math, and Home Ec. I had a good mind and liked to keep busy and these subjects had, for the most part, good teachers who made it fun and interesting to learn.

If you were famous, what would you want to be famous for?

Probably the whole writing thing. Maybe writing about wrestling, maybe the fics and stories, and maybe it’s just the real-life observations as I do in the Day of Dougie series or here with the Ultimate X Q&A pieces. But it would absolutely be for writing.

How do you spend your free time?

Sleeping, writing, and overthinking every single aspect of my life.

How can someone gain your trust?

Be real. No lies and no trying to manipulate or use me for your own needs and purposes. It is just that easy. A nice butt or sexy, deep eyes doesn’t hurt either.

Do you have a good filter or do you say everything that’s on your mind?

As I get older, that filter works less and less. I’m still polite, and respectful, and try to see both sides of the picture, but I tend to be more opinionated and less likely to deal with the BS now than I ever was before.

Would you rather be trapped in a rom-com with people you hate or trapped in a horror movie with people you love?

The romantic comedy for sure. I don’t truly “hate” anyone, and even most of the people I dislike, I can usually see one or two redeeming factors with them. Besides, horror movies mean people being hurt and dying. I don’t ever want to see or witness that.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s close up the shop today. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you at the treehouse.
