1. Well, other than not being 35, plus I don’t actually live in the US, (I’m a citizen, and was born there, but I don’t think that I’ve actually ever spend 14 consecutive years in the US.) I couldn’t be president because it would mean giving up my French passport. When I was younger, I thought it would be cool to be president (I found it disconcerting that there were no female presidents.) Then I found out that I’d have to renounce my French citizenship, and decided I liked that more. Plus, I’d probably be a really bad president, putting all kinds of money into education and not all that much into defense. :)

1. I was committed to a mental hospital a few times as a teenager. But, I’ve been declared sane 6 times… that makes me 6 times more sane than the other candidates! (I also can’t buy a gun or join the army, but I can get a fishing license for free.)
2. Don’t use it.
3. Pirates of the Carribean 3. Too much hype.
4. Victoria Backham: Coming to America. Still haven’t been able to catch it in reruns. Shame.
5. Goodwill. I’d buy paint cans at a thrift store… if I needed them.

1) I’m 20. I hate attention and making decisions. I’m far too moderate. I’m your typical college binge drinking goof-off.

2) D.P. Dough- a calzone place near campus. Not a place to get work done. Try the coffee shop.

3) The Fountain (I love Hugh Jackman). Besides that, it looked like a really interesting movie. It was terrible. Boring, not enough character development. It also tried too hard to be artsy.

4) Project Runway.

5) Pour the paint out to dry onto a big piece of plywood with some 2x4s glued to the perimeter to hold it in. Play with it. Layer the paint and make fun designs.(I used to do stage crew/set painting. Very fun.) Oh, and recycle the cans somehow.

1) I’m a high school student, hispanic, female. Enough said.

2) Hospital

3) Nightmare on Elm St. Bad acting, blood, and eery music. I thought I would love it for those three things, but alas, the bad acting was just tearjerking instead of gutwrenching. :(

4) America’s Next Top Model, there’s something about wafer thin girls playing dress up and crying a lot at inopportune times.

5) Send them to me, I’m an aspiring Graffiti Artist.

1. Terrified of public speaking; drug intake during the 80′s and 90′s. Otherwise totally qualified.

2. A sports bar

3. There are a lot but the first one that comes to mind is Summer Rental w/ John Candy

4. Iron Chef

5. Clean them out completely and make giant mixed drinks in them.

1. I, like McCain, was born on an army base. Except I was born in South Korea. Since it’s technically American soil, I don’t think it disqualifies me. This stuff does though: female, college, atheist, not old enough, living in sin and not nearly enough 000′s in my bank account.

2. The closet of my apartment (latching on to a neighbor’s because I am poor).

3. Eragon

4. America’s Next Top Model and Project Runway

5. Depending on the color and type, go get some unfinished shelves, bookcases, table etc. and use the paint to co-ordinate your home. My Mom has bookcases in the living room that match her bedroom walls, shelves in the kitchen that match the hallway and so on. It does something for the ‘flow’ she says.

#4) I expected “Twin Peaks” to be a boring (soap opera like) serial, and not an interesting, quirky, murder mystery.

#5) In my area empty paint cans can be put in recycling bin. I think the stores that sell paint take unused paint for proper disposal. If you pour all the left over paint together into one or two cans, you could put most of the cans in the recycling bin.

Regardless of whatever qualifications I have for president, I’m disqualified for the shallow reason that I have no positive physical presence. Not many people would vote for me based on my physical appearance. On top of being slightly short (5’7″) I frequently experience people walking up to me, in public locations, and saying (such things as) that I should never leave the house because I am too ugly to be out in public. I even have trouble getting service in stores because clerks sneer and tell me, “You’re too ugly to be a customer.” or “I don’t serve ugly people.” I actually need to call on friends to go to stores with me to help me get service. – I could go on with some truly bizarre stories.
