Interests/hobbies: A lot of reading and cooking. Fierros plays softball and can often be found at the Phoggy Dog, 2228 Iowa St.

Best date ever: She and her date traveled north to Flagstaff,
Ariz. and had a picnic by a meadow.
Favorite band:"I'm in love with The Format," she says. "They're from Phoenix and are just amazing." She is also in love with Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and his lyrics.
Someday,... She has always wanted to travel to italy "I love it — the food, the culture, the land, the scenery, the wine. Basically the wine," she says.
Plans for the future: Graduating and eventually moving back to Arizona where she will hopefully get a public relations job with a professional sports team.
Funny fact: As a fifth grader, Fierros went to the emergency
room with her mom and had the unfortunate experience of seeing a homeless woman wander in and masturbate in front of everyone present.
What her friends say: "She's really in-your-face honest," says Destiny Frankenstein, Broken Arrow, Okla, senior. "She's areally great friend with a positive and caring attitude." Frankenstein lived with and played softball with Fierros. "She's definitely one of those friends you know you'll have for life."

5. Laugh-fest
"Comedy, but with all the spoofs: Spaceballs,
Ace Ventura, Robin Hood: Men in Tights."
— Jon Arkin, Reedsburg. Wisc.senior
4. Fright-fest
"I would probably do the scary '80s movies like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Killer Klowns from Outer Space because they are creepy, scary and the gore is like no other. Also some of them get to be a bit funny, but scary enough to have a cute girl hold on to you at the same time."
— Gavin Englund, Chicago senior
"Dine with the Knights of the Round Table in King Arthur. Also you should include Excalibur and First Knight."
3. Renaissance-fest
Meagan Williams, Denver junior
Have a laugh-fest with Space-balls and other spoof movies.
2. Pup-fest
"Movies with'd dog in the title. For example, Must Love Dogs, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Dogfight, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Lady and the Tramp."
— Hallie Silber, Lawrence sophomore
1. Director-fest
"I would say a Sam Raimi directorial fest including: The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, A Simple Plan and Spiderman 2. You could examine his thread of work as a director from the '80s doing a B film to the '90s making an intense drama, then the 2000s making a blockbuster. I think it's interesting to study a body of work, seeing what he worked on, how his artistic sense developed or declined and why he may have chosen to do those certain projects."
— Nicole Hicks, 2006 graduate
