I bet most of you were
Anyway, it's my friend Alex. She is fabuloso.
Alex and I met when... actually when i was her T.A. (remember that whole sports thing?) Alex was one of my favorite "students". And I think I terrified her some. Well, see... here's an embarrassing thing to admit. I'm tiny--barely 5'2". But Alex...well, she's a tall goddess of a girl. So Alex, in all her height and serious gorgeousness, intimidated me some. But we bonded quickly over a love of Boston, Harvard and Lake Winnipesaukee. We further bonded over awesome music (cough**joshua radin**cough) and great senses of humor. She's an amazing writer -- we went to Journalism school together. We've stayed friends ... and well here she is. Debuting on The Siovhan Show.

How did we meet?
In Jason Parker's sports broadcasting class!
What's your first memory of us?
What's your first memory of us?
You passing out papers like the Miss Thang you are, and Maddie, Kristin and I wondering how we should act around you.
(Which is so funny--because these girls are now some of my favorite friends and we had so much fun together in that class. And I desperately wanted to be part of their little group. I love social dynamics.)
What's your favorite memory of us/adventure we've had?

What's your favorite memory of us/adventure we've had?
Oh, what is there not to know. Wearing harnesses to film BYU Lacrosse, sitting in J Parkers class, many blessed newsroom and BRMB run-ins, and also at the G-hood hottub.
(That harness thing was NUTS. We were put up in a cherry picker [like 5 stories]--but because we were operating such big cameras and having to move so much we had to be harnessed in...so we didn't fall out and die. Tender. ::shudder::)
Where are you living right now?

I'm on the East Coast for the summer, but heading back to Provo this fall as a BYU super senior.

What's your most used word?
What's your most used word?
Gnarly/rad/dude/bomb. I'm working on it- I'm from Southern California...so I'm working on my environmental conditioning.
(I say a lot of that stuff and I'm not from there...whoops. But she does have a stellar vocabulary. I can attest to that. Her papers were some of my favorites to grade because she'd use big, fantastic words to describe sports stuff...and it made me chuckle.)
What's your favorite movie?

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days- it's the reason I went to college.

She's been to Prague, lived in Spain, been to most of Europe...and she's headed to New Zealand this next year. Hot dang. I hope to travel that much some day. My bet is she'll write a best seller out of one of her travel adventures.)

What is a funny quirk?
I think being pranked is one of the highest forms of flattery.
(She and I are very alike in some respects. And I have some short sheeted beds ... and floured rooms to confirm that one for you.)

A media maven, a travel writer, an esteemed author, a humanitarian, and a professor. Yes, all of the above.What do you want to be when you grow up?
