Happy New Year!

Last year, a friend of mine did a series of interviews with all her family members. The results were hilarious, and I am shamelessly stealing her shtick. Herein, the Van Morrison family quiz:

What’s the biggest problem facing the world today?
Mira: sharks
Alita: caimans coming out of the jungle
Erik: people trying to make other people believe the way they do. Alita chimes in: "Like how I want you to believe there were alive cars, but you believe there were giant sloths and that’s just boring." Creationists got nothin' on Disney-Pixar.
Amy: climate change

What are you going to do to make the world a better place?
Mira: throw magic mud and magic potions around to make people stop doing bad things
Alita: make sure there are enough unicorns in the world who come alive when dipped in water, because Magic is really good for the world.
Erik: not argue with people’s beliefs. Unless they’re wrong, idiots.
Amy: keep you guys believing in magic as long as possible (awww)

What's your favorite food?
Mira: Kiwi and vadaco (avocado)
Alita: crab with hot melted butter.
Erik: bacon.
Amy: all of the above. Right now.

Favorite thing that happened over the last year:
Mira: I dunno.
Alita: all the money I got (???).
Erik: Bacon. 
Amy: Making a catch on the flying trapeze.

What's your favorite thing to wear?
Alita: zebra outfit (anything black and white is a zebra outfit).
Mira: nothing. Lightning McQueen underwear a close second.
Erik: Jammies.
Amy: anything fleece. Or Givenchy, I can't decide.


If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?
Mira: Buy lots of things. Toys!
Alita: Buy a human slinky suit (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a3b_1351035392)
Erik: Buy a new house
Amy: Lock down the college funds and drink some really good bourbon. In Costa Rica.

What's the best book you've read recently?
Mira: Dick and Jane and Vampires. Actually, that's a little scary. Maybe Babar.
Alita: The Gift of Nothing
Erik: Freakonomics
Amy: The Jane Eyre Affaire
