If you could have one crazy night with one person (past or present) who it would have to be…..: Robin Williams. He would have brought a few hundred versions of himself.
Do crazy people exist: Yeah. We meet on Thursdays around 6pm.
You know you’re crazy when….: The ice cube tray is broken in several places, but you insist on using it for three years as it leaks water into your freezer every time.
What is the craziest thing you’ve seen in the past 30 days: My housemate doing the dishes. At first I thought I was hallucinating but it was really happening. It inspired a video.

1. What was the last “Happy” argument you’ve had with someone?
A little over a year ago a man tried to teach me how important organic bananas were at Trader Joe’s. I didn’t ask for this. I just wanted the cheaper ones. He stopped me before I could walk away and proceeded to list the benefits of spending more on “organic bananas” and how I should re-educate myself on this important issue (mind you, he was talking to a poor actor who frankly, could not give a shit). As he started getting fired up I decided to fold and thank him for his passionate fruit lesson by taking the organic ones, which I immediately swapped for the other kind the moment he turned around.

2. If you could start your own language, how would you say “Hi I’m (Your Name) and your beauty gives me a boner”?
This is an absurd question. I have already developed my own language. It’s a mix of French, Latin, Eyebrow raises, and a tambourine (which must be hit before every word). Translation: “Ey bae, I G-Bae, u beautay gimay bonay.”

3. What’s Obama like in heaven?
Unscripted.

4. What do you think about when you hear All American Rejects “Dirty Little Secret”?
That no matter how much I hate hearing that song, the band likely hates it 10x more than I do.

5. When was the last time you’ve been around a celebrity, but you didn’t know that they were a celebrity?
Two years ago a friend of mine wanted to do a table read of a feature he’d written, and invited me to be a part of it. There was a girl reading for the lead role opposite my friend, and when we wrapped up the session and all said our goodbyes / hugged and departed, one of them mentioned me in a tweet about an hour later. A friend from college messaged me and was like “…uhh…you know Selena Gomez?” I had no idea who or what he was talking about, so when I looked her up I was pretty surprised. Aside from that, I saw a Golden Retriever in Hollywood last week so I’m going to assume it was the dog from Air Bud.

6. Is there someone you wish to teach a lesson, and still haven’t?
Yeah. It would be nice to teach my 8-year-old self “how to not score on one’s own Basketball team, on one’s birthday.”

7. Now tell us a story all about how your life got flipped, turned upside down?
I was once on a ride at Disney Land and it shut down halfway through, so I had to walk past all of the broken animatronic characters I once loved.

8. If you could write one Rihanna verse in a “Get Well” card to your grandmother, which verse would it be?
“Shine bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond.”
