1.	One of your favorite childhood memories is ... Early-morning fishing expeditions with my grandfather. Weekend ball games at the park. The rich, delicious birthday cakes my parents used to bake for me. Reading great books like Anne of Green Gables, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings -- over and over again.
2.	What's your favorite thing about being an adult? I decide what I do and when I do it -- no one tells me to clean the house when I'd rather be reading a book or chatting on the phone. I'm more confident now, both about myself and about the way I relate to the world. I can stay out all night if I want -- and bring home whomever I please! I can finally work toward all my goals; no one can tell me I'm too young for anything.
3.	What's your biggest complaint about adult life? I don't enjoy the stress that comes with responsibilities. I don't like having to work nine-to-five every day; I wish there were more variety in the adult-life routine. I always feel rushed and confused, when I'd like to be able to just sit down, relax and have some tea with a friend. I don't like having to act like an adult, all serious and dignified.
4.	How would you describe your friends? I have many different friends, but one thing we have in common is we're all creative in some way, whether we're artists or engineers or coffee shop clerks. I have a small group of very close friends; we're all somewhat similar in our interest in spirituality, connection and human relationships. I have a ton of friends and acquaintances; the more, the better, I say -- because the more people you know, the more parties you'll have to choose from on a Saturday night! My friends are all smart, go-for-it types -- just like me.
5.	When you and your friends meet up, what do you do together? We usually meet for dinner; we like trying new restaurants but we also have some favorites we go to again and again. We tend to wait till we meet to see what mood everyone's in before deciding where to go. My friends and I like to meet for coffee, tea or dessert at a quiet café where we can talk about the stresses and triumphs of the week. We like to go to our favorite sports bar and chat people up.
