You often talk about how you’ve been disproportionately hurt by the relationships you’ve been in, but you seem like the kind of girl who has crushed a few souls along the way. Have you? If so, would you handle them differently now? How so?

This whole question rubs me the wrong way. What makes you say I’m a soul-crusher? The last time I was not the dumpee was when I was fourteen…almost ten years ago. I’m not saying I haven’t hurt anyone’s feelings. It’s hard not to do that along the way sometimes. The thing is, I said I would be completely honest…but I meant about myself. I don’t really want to talk about how I think I may have hurt others because they may not agree or may not want it broadcasted. I’m not saying I would name names, but people know what you’re talking about sometimes. All I’ll say is that I have hurt people in the past, of course, and I feel awful about some of my decisions and the way I handled certain situations. I would always try to put myself in their shoes before I deal with anything. Is that okay?

Dogs or humans?

Dogs. Okay, no. I’ll be fair about it. I prefer some dogs to some humans and some humans to some dogs. It’s like…I am definitely closer to my dog, Kava, than some guy I don’t really know. Then, I favor, say, my mom to the poodle down the street. Okay, really…dogs.


Do you look down on people who don’t have perfect grammar all of the time?

I would never. I’m a very big fan of conversational styles of writing and, well, conversation. Fragments. Sentences ending with prepositions. Run-ons. They all have a place. I will admit that misspellings and incorrect grammar in formal settings sort of kill me.
