The last great movie I saw was...
Inception.
My idea of a dream vacation is -
sun, a sandy beach, and the ocean...All I need then is to curl up there with a good book!
My desert-island book would be -
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe? I'd expect it to be pretty useful in that setting...
My writing rituals include -
getting distracted, drinking lots of diet coke and emailing Lauren Kunze every 15 minutes.
When I'm not writing or reading I -
hang out with friends, eat great food, catch good movies.
My favorite food is -
Manti. it's a Turkish dish, similar to meaty ravioli. Google it!
My least favorite food is -
everything, but I'm not a big fan of celery
The music I'm really into these days is -
Muse. Always. I'm a big fan. I also love Tarkan since childhood; he's a Turkish pop star.
My favorite item of clothing is -
my scarves, basically in every color/pattern imaginable.
My greatest achievement so far is -
getting published AND meeting President Obama (even though very briefly) when he visited Istanbul.
If I couldn't be a writer, I would be -
a fashion designer! Actually that's a lie, as what I do on a daily basis (finance) has nothing to do with it!
My favorite quote is -
"Good things come to obsessive-compulsives who fixate." 'Igby, "Igby Goes Down"
An author I'd love to lunch with is -
J. K. Rowling.
My favorite animal (or pet!) is -
panda! It's the cutest animal in the world.
The TV show that I can't live without is -
Entourage or Glee or Grey's Anatomy or Pretty Little Liars.
My favorite city is...
Istanbul! There's no place like home...
The place where I am the happiest is...
home. Sad, but true.
