| 1. Cake or Pie | Impossible choice! If I could stuff one into the other, turducken style, I'd be happiest. |
| 2. Night or Day | Day, grudgingly. I am an involuntary morning person -- I tend to get up with the sun. It might be due to my transparent eyelids. |
| 3. Truth or Dare | Writing is all about Truth, man. |
| 4. Roller Coaster or Lazy River | Lazy river, as long as I have good sunglasses. (Transparent eyelids.) |
| 5. Soft Candy or Hard Candy | Hard candy. I have texture issues with things that are too mushy or gelatinous. Get thee behind me, flan! |
