100 Questions - Penny
Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancin'
They're dancin' in the street

part 1: the basics;

1. What is your full name? Penny Lane Weller

2. Where and when were you born? March 30th, 1987, in Baltimore

3. Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.) Ok, let's just ignore the actual "parents" factor, since all I know on them is basically their names. I have grandparents. My grandpa is John Weller and he's totally cool. He runs a sports bar just outside of Stoneybrook and he's just so uch fun and awesome and I love him. My grandma is Elizabeth Weller and she's retired and just doing the homemaker thing and she works in the church nursery sometimes and she's the sweetest person ever.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? Maybe, lol! Not that I'd ever know. Mitch is kinda like a big brother, that's about it for me. Mitch is awesome, he's a pilot on the same airline I work on so sometimes we get to work together. He's kind of a manwhore too.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people. I live in this totally fab apartment with Sheila and her fiance. He's hardly ever there cause he's in the NFL so he has away games and he has a little place out by the stadium so he doesn't come back here after practices being all smelly, but he's cool. Sheila's awesome, we've known each other forever and she's so fun, and she lets me live in her apartment even though it's way too expensive for me and I barely pay any rent and I don't even want to know what the real rent on the place is.

6. What is your occupation? Flight attendant! And I love it!

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. I'm 5'4, 125lbs, and I have long blonde hair that's naturally wavy, sometimes I curl it more and sometimes I flat-iron it straight. I've got great eyes, in my opinion, they're hazel. No tattoos or anything like that. And I dress totally casual cause I have to be all formal and professional looking when I'm at work, so I get home and just throw on jeans and a tee.

8. To which social class do you belong? I have no idea! I live in a rich person apartment, but I'm so not rich. Middle class, maybe, I don't know.

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? Nope!

10. Are you right- or left-handed? Righty!

11. What does your voice sound like? I don't know, it just sounds like a normal voice. Some people I say I talk too fast sometimes, I have to really concentrate when I make in-cabin announcements that I'm not talking too fast.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? I call everyone "babe", and I also say "fab", "jazzed", and "whatever" a lot.

13. What do you have in your pockets? Nothing, keep it all in my purse.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? I'm not sure. Maybe?

part 2: growing up;

15. How would you describe your childhood in general? It was pretty awesome. I remember being a little spoiled, like from being the only child and the whole no parents thing and whatever. And I remember going to a lot of basketball games, we had season tickets to the Maryland games all the way up until we moved. I had a lot of fun as a kid.

16. What is your earliest memory? I was about four, and me and grandma were going to see my first play. Some theatre around Baltimore was doing "Annie" and she decided I was old enough to get to go and we made this big day of it. We both dressed up, I picked out this really fancy dress to wear, and we went out to dinner before it and I was totally into the show, I sat still the whole time and was quiet and everything.

17. How much schooling have you had? Beyond high school, not a ton. I went to college but I hated it so I was only there a year and a half.

18. Did you enjoy school? I loved regular school, especially high school, but I hated college.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? I guess it depends which skills and abilities. I mean, grandma taught me how to read and all that typical stuff. Mitch taught me a lot. And then there were like teachers and coaches and wahtever.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them. Mitch is this huge motown fan and he got me into it, so most of my role models were the motown singers, I guess. Michael Jackson was one. I'm not going to get into the day he died, it sucked.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? I got along with everyone. I love my family.

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I don't remember this, but Mitch told me that for awhile, I said that I wanted to be one of the Jackson 5, even though the group was long gone before I was even born and they were all boys and stuff. I do remember wanting to be a singer, a professional cheerleader, and at one point, a truck driver. I don't know why on that last one.

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities? I started playing tennis pretty young, cause grandpa played it and sometimes I'd go with him and just sit on a bench with my Walkman and watch and then I eventually decided I wanted to try it, so I did that a lot. I also loved singing and coloring and going to plays with my grandma.

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display? I was really outgoing, and I was really funny. Everyone now always likes to talk about the really crazy stuff I said as a kid, like how I just mentioned that I wanted to be a truck driver or one of the Jackson 5.

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like? I was pretty popular, I always had lots of friends.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss? It was in the seventh grade, at our first big deal boy-girl party, we played spin the bottle and Malik Jaffrey spun it and it landed on me. For awhile, I felt so dumb about my first kiss being in spin the bottle so I made up that some guy had kissed me in the sixth grade, but now I really don't care.

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? Nope, and I lost my virginity to, again, Malik. He kind of dominated most of my high school romantic life. It was at a party after the 11th grade homecoming dance.

28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today. Huh?

part 3: past influences;

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? It's kind of weird to say this as the most important event, since I was just a baby and don't remember anything about it, but it was my mom leaving me. I just can't imagie what my life would've been like if she'd raised me, knowing what I know about her and how she hasn't even hardly stayed in touch with her parents or brother. I'd have been a totally different person if she brought me up.

30. Who has had the most influence on you? Maybe Mitch? I don't know.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Getting the flight attendant job. It maybe wasn't a huge achievement, because I had the recommendation of Mitch who's been with Delta forever, but it still felt really good to get a real job like that.

32. What is your greatest regret? Going to college at all. I spent the whole time hating it and I don't think I got anything out of it. But also, my other regret is that I didn't graduate and get a degree, cause so many of my other friends are college graduates so I feel a little left out with all that sometimes.

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done? All that stuff back in high school, when we kept shunning people. It was just dumb.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind? Nope! I'm totally a good girl.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened? Oh my god, it was probably back in high school when everyone was lost at sea and we were out searching for them and stuff.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? Well, looking back on it now, I basically just laugh it off, but overall, it was probably when I hooked up with that mascot guy, whatever his name was, at the halloween party junior year. I was kind of drunk that night and I didn't realize who it was at first and then I did but I still kept making out with him and a lot of people saw it and I was so embarrassed by it.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? That's back to the biggest regret thing. I'm torn between changing the fact that I went to college to begin with, but also changing that I dropped out of college.

38. What is your best memory? My first flight once I was completely done with training. It was from Boston to Chicago and it went so well and Mitch was the pilot and he just made it really fun for me.

39. What is your worst memory? The day I failed my lit midterm sophomore year and knew I couldn't pass the class.

part 4: beliefs and opinions;

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic? Optimistic. To, like, an insane degree sometimes. I'm just happy, ok?

41. What is your greatest fear? A plane crash. We had to do disaster training when I was doing all my flight attendant training and I did good at it but it freaked me out so much, I have no idea how I'd handle it if it was real.

42. What are your religious views? I don't know. I go to church, I have this awesome one here in New York that I love, but I don't know what my exact views are. I believe in God and Jesus and all that, and that's about all I know.

43. What are your political views? I don't really care? I mean, I don't know. There's some stuff I'm for, some stuff I'm against, but I really don't follow it that much.

44. What are your views on sex? It rocks.

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? Oh god, I could never kill. I mean, for real, me? Killing someone? Come on now. I can hardly even watch movies or tv shows when someone kills someone.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? I guess it'd be to kill someone?

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? Yeah, I do. I don't think I'm a soulmate kinda person, but there's no way I couldn't believe in soulmates and true love after seeing my grandparents, they're totally made for each other.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life? I think it's just being totally happy. Like being happy with who you are and what you're doing and whatever else.

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)? I think I'm mostly honest, it just depends on the situation. Like when I was all miserable at college, I felt dumb that I was so miserable because everyone else I knew loved school, so I just preteneded I loved it too.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices? Not at all.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? Ride roller-coasters or watch scary movies. Roller-coasters make me sick and scary movies give me nightmares and make me never want to fall asleep again and the few that I've seen end up giving me some crazy irrational fear or like a VCR or fishermen or phones.

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? My grandparents and Mitch.

part 5: relationships with others;

53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how? I treat mostly everyone pretty politely. Part of it has rubbed off from work because I have to be so super-polite there that I'm just kind of polite to everyone but also, that's just how I am, I think.

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? It's a tie between my grandparents and Mitch.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? I'm not sure. Mitch maybe the most, because he's so awesome and I think he's just totally this amazing guy with how he's been this kind of stand-in dad/brother to me.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. I don't really have a best friend, just lots of good ones. I'm maybe the closest with Sheila, cause we live together, and she's so fab. I'm friends with like most of the people I work with, they're all amazing in their own cool ways and we have such a fun time together like at the hotels wherever. And I'm friends with all these people I went to high school with, like some who I was friends with back then too like Margie and Marty and then some who I didn't hang out with then, and all my friends have all the different things that make them totally great.

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person. Totally don't. I'm not sure I could ever do the spouse thing. I have enough trouble handling a significant other after more than a few months.

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. I don't think I have. The two most serious relationships I've had were with Malik back in high school, and then with Dominick back in Boston, and even though both of those kind of lasted awhile (or awhile on my terms, at least), I don't think I was in love with either of them.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover? That they don't bug me. That they'll leave me alone and not be an idiot. And that they're a good dancer.

60. How close are you to your family? I'm super-tight with mine, for a girl with no real parents, I totally lucked out with what I ended up with.

61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? I'm only 22, why would I have started my own family?

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? Mitch, no doubt.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? I like to think that I can protect myself but... Mitch or grandpa, hands down.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? I hope everyone!

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? I really want to say my mom, and I think I should, because she's never been around and I don't know her at all, but I don't think I really despise her. Cause, like, her not being around has been good for me, and maybe she knew that she couldn't take care of me the way she should, so she did what was best for me. Still though... it'd be nice to actually know her.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? I avoid conflict mostly.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Not at all! I just kind of go with the herd, see where life takes me.

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? I love it, there's always just so much going on with a large group, like if it's all the people on my plane or a packed club or whatever.

69. Do you care what others think of you? Not as much as I used to, like back in high school, but yeah, I do.

part 6: likes and dislikes;

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit? I don't smoke or use drugs cause, gross, but I drink. And no, I don't want to quit. I'm not an alcoholic, I don't have liver disease, I'm not some depressed person drinking my pain away, I just like to drink.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night? I usually have to work some Saturday nights or early on a Sunday morning but if I'm not working and it's a Saturday night, I'm at a club.

part 7: self-image and etc;

84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted? I have absolutely no normal day. I guess to put it simply, my normal day is work, but there's so much variety in my job that no day there is normal, I'm literally all over the place.

86. What is your greatest weakness? Sometimes I worry too much what people think of me.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

91. Do you like yourself? I totally do.

92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? (If so, detail both sets of reasons...) Yeah, I don't get this question.

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? ~~Meeting my mom.~~ No real goal, I just want to have fun, like I don't want to look back at my life and be like "wow, that was boring".

(You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice...) Not a ton of advice to give, you're doing pretty good, Penny! Maybe just try to settle down some, that's about al I can say.
