WHAT IS THE WEIRDEST THING YOU HAVE EVER EATEN?
WHAT WAS YOUR BEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME?
IF YOU COULD NAME A CITY, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?
IF YOU COULD HAVE A SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF CLOTHING?
When I was younger, my brothers and I went down to the creek and caught crawdads and a few frogs, and my mom cooked them for dinner.
When I was in fifth grade, my best friend and I decided to go as a two-headed monster. We used a white sheet and got out the puffy paint. We spent three hours stepping on each other’s feet.
Is this the question where I include a dryky weather reference? Like, Windy, Kansas or Squall Line, USA? I guess I would name it Early Riser. I have been doing TV morning shows for over five years, but the alarm clock does not get any easier.
My sister says this is stupid, but sleep control. I want to be able to fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow and sleep two hours and feel fine, ready for the next day.
When I was 10, my sister and I went through a phase in life that we’d like to fix up our old shirts and shorts with puffy paint. I have this child’s size medium sweatshirt that I used glitter puffy paint and put “fly high” on the front, and the back has peace signs and the words “cool” and “dude.”
Raw fish. Not sushi, just raw fish that is salted. It is a traditional Russian meal. I actually enjoyed it.
Probably when I was Audrey Hepburn last year.
I would call it “Mufaca” because it sounds like Mufasa, and it kind of sounds like a cuss word. It would be on a remote island.
I probably shouldn’t have one. I would abuse it and cause trouble.
Any dress I have. I like dresses.
CATCH of the week
Name: Aziz Sultani, Shawnee senior
Major: Cognitive psychology
Jobs: Boys and Girls Club after school group leader and Psycholinguistics Event-Related Potentials (ERP) lab manager
Hobbies: Sand volleyball, frisbee golf, mountain biking and reading and writing poetry
What he looks for in a girl: Confidence, good sense of humor, easy-going, cute smile
Ideal date: Something crazy and adventurous like bungee jumping, sky-diving or even just driving to Kansas City, staying at a nice hotel and being waited on.
Worst date ever: He and a girl went out to eat, and it was difficult to get her to talk. He would ask questions, and she would give one-word answers. “I wanted to walk out because it wasn’t working, and we both knew it,” Sultani says. He stayed on the date but realized he had wasted his time.“I did learn not to plan a date when you’re drunk though,” he says.
If he could be one fictional character he would be: Gonzo. In elementary school Sultani was really shy and a really big, mean girl — the tallest kid in class — always picked on him. He hated it, and to him, the girl always personified Miss Piggy, so he could really relate to Gonzo.
Plans for the future: Starting in or around February, he’ll be working as a real estate agent for one year in Washington D.C. then going to graduate school to get his Ph.D.
Fun fact: Nick Hexum, the lead singer of 311, once told him that he rocks.
What his friends say:“He’s a very motivated guy. He’s got good work ethic, and he’s always trying to get a bunch of things going for him with his research and getting things published,” Nick Zawada, Sioux Falls senior, says. “He’s always on top of everything. He just has his shit together.”

5. Their Eyes Are Watching God
“Halle Barry plays Janie, and this other hot man plays Tea-Cake — because he’s sweet. I think I like it because it’s in this really dirty old shack. It’s very primal.”
— Claire Scharenberg, Shawnee senior
4. Sid and Nancy
“They’re in a boarding house that is full of people who are sleeping or trying to sleep, and they just start going at it. It’s awesome, and it’s hilarious because Johnny Rotten just finished talking about how fornicators are disgusting pigs, and Sid is just like, ‘I don’t care’ cause Nancy’s so hot.’”
— Daniel Iles, 2006 graduate
3. Monster’s Ball
“Halle Barry and Billy Bob Thornton showed a type of raw, realistic passion that I thought was captured well by the camera.”
— Shaher Ibrahimi, Lenexa senior
2. Basic Instinct
“The one with Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas because it’s hot. She’s an ice-pick murderer, and she ties him up so you don’t know if she’s going to kill him or bang him, and she’s all naked and sweaty and hot.”
— Kyle Rowe, San Antonio senior
1. Cruel Intentions
“When Sebastian takes Annette’s virginity. I like it best because it’s real. It has both the lust and the love aspects, which I believe are needed to have phenomenal sex in real life. With ‘Colorblind’ playing, the story leading up to the sex scene, seeing a fair amount of sweaty skin….It’s not hiding the fact that they actually had sex. It also doesn’t hurt that they’re both gorgeous. I love it.”
— Scott Southern, 2006 graduate
