Oh sweet! It's my turn!
The username...InspectorExstead is a character on pretty much the greatest show EVER...The Division (Lifetime channel). She was my favorite! And she was played by Nancy McKeon, who's in my avator.

Tell you a little about myself? Hmm...I love the beach and good music. I'm pretty short. And tonight, I dented my friends car with my back...on accident! One of my friends was giving me a hug and he tripped or something and we fell onto her car...and that made a mark. Haha.

Annnyway, don't you just LOVE TD???

Pretty much! I don't think there are enough words to express what an amazing show TD is. Even though I barely watch it now, it's still an amazing show. If only Lifetime/Viacom would release them on DVD...

What's your earliest childhood memory?Leaving Iran when I was three. I remember they threw a big party for us and my grandma made this chicken soup that I loved. But I wasn't hungry so she put some of it in a bowl and I took it with me on the plane.

How do you envision your life five years from now? Probably in law school. Hopefully. And with as little debt as possible.

Are you a good cook? Hahaha...no. I can microwave, but I burn food very, very easily.

What is your style of dressing/fashion? I guess I would call it casual. Jeans, shirts, sandals (I live in sandals. Even in the rain). I do wear a lot of sweats though.

Do you have any pets? Three bunnies. Two of them are HUGE. And the other is pregnant! And two gold fish.

What do you best like about SO? The fact that it is still up and running and entertaining after all these years. And the people!

What's your favorite season? Winter. Definite fan of the cold.

What's the story behind your screen name? The Division character. =)

Oh, wow! Is that really Nancy McKeon? Wow.... I so did not recognize her in her avatar. Interesting!! I guess her profile and hairdo seemed a bit different to me. Cool! :D

Yeah...she looks very different in the picture, but that's why I love it. :D

You must tell me about your trip to fabulous NYC! What did you like about it? What did you do? :D

You must tell me about your trip to fabulous NYC! What did you like about it? What did you do? :D

NYC was...AMAZING. I don't think I can fully describe the trip, but I'll try. First of all...it was complete chaos the first couple of hours because we had to find our way from JFK to Manhattan...oi, that took a while. Once we got there at 6 in the morning, we dropped our bags off and walked around until check in time (1 pm). It was so nice, but so cold...and everyone was out, at all times.
Our hotel was a ten minute walk away from Times Square, so we were there all the time at night, after ten or so until 2 in the morning. Mmm...so many people everywhere!
We visited Wall Street (they wouldn't let us into the Stock Exchange though, which was disappointing), the WTC site (the tour was the most depressing tour of my life. That day was pretty sad because of it.), the Statue of Liberty, NY public library, Central Park, NYU, Columbia, Barnard. Oh! And we had dinner in Queens one night...at some Israeli restaurant.
The subway system was so much fun as well. I had been on the subway in London, but this was nothing compared to that...especially during Rush Hour. I've never been so crammed before in my life. I felt like a sardine in a can...but it was pretty awesome. And so memorable. And I heard some really funny stories on the subway that entertained us.
It was pretty freakin' awesome! It was so much fun and the people there are so amazing. And there are so many misconceptions about NY. I was expecting it to be filled with people with guns and knives who try to steal your purses all the time...but I never once felt not safe. But there was one time we were walking to Wall St. and we saw a man in front of a restaurant just holding a knife up. And not tiny one either. It was actually quite amusing. Haha. But yeah...lots of amazing buildings and people and oi...the city is just amazing. I'm so glad I went and visited because it's so amazing!
