How long has Intern Hot Laura been an intern? Will she stay an intern forever? What will she be called when she’s not an intern anymore?
intern hot laura will always be an intern, forever. she is not allowed to leave autostraddle, and she feels that the term ‘intern’ suits her
What’s the answer to life, the universe and everything?
easy mac! you don’t even need butter or milk, you can make it right in the microwave!
or else socialism
or else empathy, humility and friends
i can has autostraddle tank? how?
if i ask alex what’s going on with the tank tops and t-shirts and when they’re gonna be up for sale on the website and when they’re going to be printed one more time, she’ll probably stick a hammer in my ear. um, they’ll be up soon i hope?
So I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that you went to Interlochen for school, right? What was your ‘major’ there?
creative writing
there wasn’t a film program yet, but i did everything they did offer in that area
interlochen was where i decided i wanted to be a writer
this isn’t a question, and i didn’t ask it the last time, AND i’m not in new york. but i do have a/c, so…
the next thing out of your mouth should be, “and i make a perfect mushroom +roasted red pepper frittata. are you allergic to cats or avocados? do you like mimosas?”
Do you have any tattoos?
i have two on my abdomen. i despise them but i have plans for two more. oh, wait – three.
hey! you have formspring now! now only alex has to get it and all my autofavorites will have it (Hint hint). Hmmh. I asked Riese this awhile back, but will you do any more craft/cookery columns on Autostraddle soon? I really enjoyed them.
yes! i’ll definitely do more of those. those are a thing i will do.
i bet if alex had a formspring, all of her answers would be in infographic form. wouldn’t that be amazing?
how do you decide which questions to answer?
i answer all of them* that are actual questions, but some take longer than others – some take 3 weeks! some take 3 minutes! you never know!
* sometimes i’m asked questions about other people/which involve other people that i don’t answer for various reasons which are mostly just about me but sometimes about other people
** i think i used that/which incorrectly in this answer
do you ever wish you were born a boy? (i am a queer girl, not a homophobe, to be clear)
