TW: When was the last time you cursed someone on Easy Streets?
CH: Two minutes ago.

TW: What is your pet peeve during class or work?
CH: People making mouth noises. I hate mouth noises.

TW: What was the last dream you can remember?
CH: I caught a big catfish. I love to fish, and I happened to watch "Grumpier Old Men" before I went to sleep that night.

TW: Who was the last person that made you laugh and why?
CH: Some of the ladies on the television show, The Bachelor, because they are SO dramatic.

TW: What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?
CH: If I finish my dissertation before May, it will be earning my doctorate before I am 30. Otherwise, it is buying my own house.

TW: What is your favorite LSU memory?
CH: I always like going to Lady Tiger basketball games.

TW: Who would you like to see Mike the Tiger fight in a brawl?
CH: Quiznos's singing rodents. Those commercials have been off the air for awhile and they still bug me.

TW: Do you believe in karma?
CH: When it's convenient.

TW: How would you describe yourself?
CH: Oh, I don't know - a little tom-boyish, good sense of humor, relatively intelligent.

TW: If you could change something about the landscape of campus, what would it be?
CH: I would like a better drainage system so that extra lakes don't show up all over campus every time it rains.
