1. Hey - do you know you're really tall?
3. Hey - do you play basketball? 'Cause you're really tall...
7. What kind of school do you go to?
9. Are you and Brad brother and sister?
10. Is that your real hair color?
14. Hey - your name is Brooke - like Brooke Shields, right? Do people ever call you that?
15. Do you drink?
2. 5'11" without shoes (well TECHNICALLY 5' 10.75"). I consider 6'0" and higher to be freakishly tall for a girl, so fortunately I'm barely on the cusp of freakiness.
3. No, I haven't played basketball in many years. I was never really taught the rules properly. While I've always been curious to learn how to play, I've lacked the motivation to do so. I'm really good at free throws though...
4. I was born in the Midwest, but have lived here since 1984.
5. Why yes I am - from Wis-caan-sin actually.
6. Oh, pretty good... How are you?
7. A pharmacy school - eventually, I'll graduate with a doctorate (Pharm.D). Then people will have to call me Dr. Brooke - wah ha.
8. Early June, 2006.
9. No, but our last names are one letter different, and we do look very alike and have eerily similar hobbies and interests.
10. Nobody knows what my real hair color is anymore, including me... I keep dyeing it different colors and waiting to see if it matches the roots...
11. Currently, no. For some reason, the main guys that seem really interested in me are sickos like 30 years older than me (one was interested only until he found out I WASN'T of high-school age) and socially retarded guys younger than me. One of the last times I got asked out was in front of my mom, and the guy kept following us and repeatedly asking. My mom started whispering "he seems nice!!!"
12. I don't really have "A" type, but traditionally, as far as looks, I like really tall (at least taller than me) semi-skinny guys with dark hair and long noses. I don't care about skin tone as long as they aren't sunburned - yuck! (For example, Pete Townshend in his younger days.) I'm actually legendary for my appreciation of unusual noses - the only thing I can figure out is that long ones make the guy's face look sort of dog-like. I absolutely love dogs, especially ones like airedales and poodles (which have very long noses indeed) so maybe this is how my brain made the connection... However, if any guy who doesn't look grotesque is consistently nice to me and funny, is honest, etc, and not totally irritating, I could probably end up liking him.
13. Lil' Pete's Scooter Rentals or something random like that. What's it to you???
14. Why yes, just like Brooke Shields. Yes, some people call me that - I know one guy who can't remember my real last name, so he calls me that all the time... (Incidentally, everyone who asks me this figures it's the first time it's been brought to my attention)
15. For the love of God, stop asking me this!

One group of guys I do NOT like is "pretty boys." You've seen their type on MTV. Personally, I don't trust them, and I think for the most part, they try to exude a sense of Abercrombie-toughness, but in reality, they're girly-men. Another type of guy I'm not crazy about is the money-grubber. Being in pharmacy school, at least half the people in my class are going into this field solely because of the high salary. When someone tells me this, it makes me feel a little sick. Please don't go into a field where people's lives depend on you if the only thing you care about is the pay. The third main type I'm not crazy about is the sport freak (both playing and watching). I love doing these things sometimes, but not every waking moment... It seems like some guys take joy in pummeling each other and getting injured in silly and unnecessary ways, and I think girls in general just can't identify with this. An exception is guys that do cool specialty sports, like motocross star Travis Pastrana - now that's just dudical.
