JFO: Texas. Your thoughts?

PW: I think it's.....well, I've never been there, but I guess I think of - cowboy hats, a bunch of hicks, and...not nice people.

(side-thought: funny, that's what I think of Republicans).

(side-thought2: Shania Twain is nice and WHERE is she from? That's right...oh wait, oh Canada - sorry).

(side thought3: Although he wears a cowboy hat, Willie Nelson is nice).

JFO: Does it make you feel bad that Kathy doesn't like your friends?

PW: Hah! Um...let's see...yes and no. I can see where my friend was hard to take, but no - it doesn't bother me.

JFO: Why does Kathy hate people?

PW: Why are you asking me this!!!? She says she doesn't hate people - she says she is a nice person. And I've never said she hated people.

JFO: What was the most amount of people in the house at one time this weekend?

PW: ....like 9.

JFO: What was the best thing about having so few people in the house?

PW: Taking an outside shower! And I got a bed.

(side-thought: I've taken an outside shower 3 or 4 times this summer. Now this doesn't mean I was down there a whole lot - it's just one day I enjoyed it so much, I took 2 showers in a row!)

JFO: Where would you rather be: ShopRite or Stop&Shop?

PW: Stop&Shop.

JFO: Nice! Me too!

PW: I was just there!

(side-thought: this broke into a conversation about Super Stop&Shop's and how great they are, but for those of you who haven't experience the joys of Super Stop&Shop and would be bored by the discussion, I will spare you).

JFO: On a scale of 1 to 11, the weather this weekend was a....?

PW: 11.

JFO: I hear you're a big Yankees fan. Who is your favorite Yankee of all time?

PW: Derek Jeter.

JFO: In your opinion, who has the nicest *ss on this year's team?

PW: Derek Jeter.

(side-thought: Really? Oh my God, me t... oh, nothing. Um, sorry).

JFO: Why do you think Mets fans dress funny and are so goofy?

PW: They dress funny?

JFO: Yes.

PW: Because....the good fans follow the Yankees and Mets fans are losers.

JFO: Throughout the course of a workday, what gives you more enjoyment - credits or debits?

PW: Credits.

JFO: If I am a start-up bond trading company and I have $500 paid-in capital and material costs of $300, but there is an accrued asset of $200 and an excise tax of $50 on the materials, what is my tangible book value?

PW: Okay, if you paid $500, let's see...this is embarrassing - I don't know this. I think its $500 - $350, then add $200, so $350? I dunno - my laundry's ready - I gotta go.

JFO: Sean and Vita neglected to invite you to their wedding. Upset?

PW: No - not at all. I only met them in May.

JFO: If you were to pick a Most Improved Person for the house, who would it be?

PW: I would say Kathy - because she's not as mean as last year - she's nice this year!

(side-thought: I'd put in a vote for Kate Foti - because she displayed a lot of heart and effort - she showed up last weekend!)

JFO: If you saw someone performing physical labor on Labor Day, would you say "Happy Labor Day" to them?

PW: No.

JFO: Carvel, Dairy Queen, or Baskin Robbins?

PW: ....Dairy Queen.

(side-thought: Went to Carvel last week - amazing. New menu, great ice cream - go check it out. As far as DQ, I don't trust ice cream from a place that sells hot dogs and nachos).

JFO: Do you think gay men find Seth ugly?

PW: Umm....no.

JFO: Where did the summer go?

PW: I dunno. It was....wasted away on being intoxicated.

(side-thought: I always thought Pam was a good-natured, well-mannered girl who wouldn't go out and drink her troubles away and waste a summer - but it goes to show ya what I know. Well, at least I know my sister Jess wouldn't do such a thing).

JFO: Last question of the summer from me - what do ya say we get all the cool people from this year's house and go in on a new house next year - so we won't have to put up with all the other idiots in the house?

PW: I wouldn't say anyone in the house is an idiot, but yeah I wanna get a house again.

(side-thought: well that's it for me - apparently I'm getting interviewed next week to close out the summer. Thanks to everyone for letting me hang out from time to time - it was nice getting to know all of you. In true high school yearbook fashion - I'd like to leave you with a deep, yearbook quote  - "You can search your soul and travel to find happiness, but never forget your friends!").
