Who makes you laugh the most? I'm lucky that I have a lot of people that make me laugh super hard on a daily basis.
Who makes you smile daily? I'd say the world makes me smile on an hourly basis. There was a cat sitting in a barrel today just peeking out. How can a cat peek out of a barrel? Well, the cat can if it's really a planter, but from far away it was lip of barrel, cat head in that order. And he hung out there all day. So brilliant I had to take a photo.

Stolen anything over $50? Probably.
Obsessive? Compulsive? Do I have to pick just one? I'll take both, thanks.
Anorexic? I consider it from time to time. It would make trying on clothes so much more pleasant, but oh, food. How I love thee!

What car do you wish to have? Toyota Prius.
Where do you want to get married? I'm not really a get married sort of person. But I'll take a long vacation in Fiji.

I believe in ghosts, I believe that Crystal is the best hot sauce for eggs, I believe in NPR, I believe that "CSI:Miami" is the bestworst show on TV, I believe that someday I'll be able to have a dog, I believe that this is all you could ever want to know about me, and I can't believe I've wasted so much time on this thing.
