I would do BASE jumping from building to building but my hands sweat watching those videos so I would probably fall.

I would have a lead role in the show The O.C. because I love Newport and the clothes they wear are so cute.

What is a weird food combination that you really like, and why?
Eggs and sauerkraut I eat it every single day and it is amazing because you get all the health benefits and it gives it a good tang.

Ninja because I could defend myself at any moment and I could climb walls and I would be fast and I would coordinated.

We fostered a liter of puppies so we had around 10 dogs in the house at once and we were able to find homes for all of them.
