Dan In Real Life Questions

1.       Dan writes a column on parenting advice but has a lot of trouble parenting.  Do you think it’s important to write about what you know?:  Personally, I find the most success in writing when I’m writing about what I know.  I think that the reason behind this is that I’ve felt the emotions that go with the situation.  I also find success in writing about situations that people I’m close with have gone through.  When making up a situation I don’t personally connect with I don’t have the best results
2.       What makes someone a “hottie” to you?: I am really attracted to musicians.  If you can sing or play an instrument I am probably into you.  If someone wrote me a song I would probably fall in love on the spot.  I like people that I can have fun and be extremely stupid with, but also have serious conversations with.  I REALLY like tall guys.  And I love blue eyes.  I’m not too picky with looks usually it just depends on if I like your personality.  But guys that are shorter than me or significantly smaller are not usually my type. 

3.       Dan and Marie aren’t supposed to fall in love.  Is illicit love more appealing to us?: For me personally, illicit love is a lot more appealing.  I don’t know why exactly.  And I realize how messed up it is.  But knowing a relationship won’t work out or knowing there are things standing in the way makes me want them more.  I think it may be due to the fact that if the relationship can’t happen, then nothing can go wrong.  So I build up this perfect idea of what it could be in my head, knowing I won’t get hurt from it because it won’t happen.  But it’s kind of ridiculous my mind works that way.  That I want what I can’t have.  The even more screwed up thing is that when the door is finally opened to what I couldn’t have, I want it less.  Kind of like a “the grass is always greener on the other side” sort of thing.  I’m not saying it makes sense, or its right, but I definitely think illicit love is more appealing.

**Reel** Life Post

My favorite movie is "The Wizard of Oz".  It was my mom's favorite movie so I saw it a lot growing up.  When I was in preschool I would legitimately  watch it every single day.  I'm actually surprised I don't hate it.  I think one of the reasons I like it is because it reminds me of when I was little. As I said before, it is also my mom's favorite movie so when I watch it I usually watch it with her.  I don't spend as much time with me mom as I should, so its always nice to do stuff like that with her.


I do no like horror movies.  At first it started out as a fear thing.  I was scared and would have nightmares just from watching the commercials.  But as I've grown up, I just don't care for the story lines of the movies.  They almost always have terrible actors and scripts.  I can watch horror movies if they are well produced, but that doesn't happen very often from what I've seen.  I am also the kind of person who will watch a movie or show and say "Well, this couldn't have happened.." or "No one would ever actually do that.." so these types of movies are definitely not made for me.


I probably watch a movie every week or so.  It definitely varies depending on how busy I am with work and school.  I usually will watch movies on my laptop in my bed or in my front living room at my house.

I don't need too much to enjoy a movie.  However, I would prefer a dark room, a soft blanket, a box of red Mike and Ike's, and a QUIET friend.  Movie talkers are not okay.


The survey told me that I am 83% extroverted, 58% agreeable, 58% conscientious, 75% emotionally stable, and 92% open to new experiences.  I think, for the most part, this quiz was scary accurate.

If my life was a movie... hmmm. I would have Taylor Swift play me in a movie about my life because she is a bad actress which is a metaphor for my life. The movie would show my love for music, it would follow the process of graduating high school, love interests (But we would have to make that part up. We just need to make this movie interesting some how.), and it would show me moving out to Nashville after I graduate.  Wish my life was interesting enough to make a movie out of, but unfortunately it is very normal.
