Each week, The Cavalier Daily asks a student 25 Questions and allows him or her to eliminate five of them. This week, 20 Questions is mixing things up, interviewing two good friends. Lauren Ross and Johanna Peet are fourth-year College students from Norfolk, Va. and Wilmington, Del., respectively.
Q: Worst fight you've ever had?
L: When Johanna started dating this guy, she kind of disappeared.
J: Hey, you did that too, though.
Q: Best word to describe both of you interchangeably?
J: Lekker. It's a Dutch word. Hard to define. Means something like "Sweetie."
L: I think we're coming back to this question.
Q: Would you rather be on "Trading Spaces" or "Amazing Race"?
L: "Trading Spaces," definitely.
J: Though, "What not to Wear" is up there, too.
Q: If you could buy one item for each other, what would it be?
L: An inflatable boyfriend. Actually, the kind you drop in water and it expands.
J: Shoes. Maybe a cute belt or something.
Q: Have you planned costumes for Halloween?
J: I'm going to be Ben Stiller's character from "The Royal Tenenbaums."
L: See, this is news to me. I thought we were teaming up.
Q: Who is a worse driver?
L: Johanna. Hands down. I'm always terrified that she's either going to kill me or hit something.
J: Hey, to be fair, I'm really good at parking.
Q: Have you ever been mistaken for a couple?
L: Our first and second years. People got confused when we started dating other people.
Q: Define each other's politics in six words.
L: Johanna's pro-immigration and supports human rights.
J: Lauren likes education and is liberal.
Q: How can you each tell when the other is having a bad day?
J: Lauren dresses up.
L: Jo sits in the library. By herself. I find her there at closing time.
Q: Who has more facebook friends?
J: Me.
L: We're actually in an open relationship on the facebook.
Q: I give you a log, a magnifying glass and a can of beer. What do you do?
J: Burn the log, chug the beer, look at an ant? I don't know.
L: Well, I would use the magnifying glass to start the fire.
Q: What possession of each other's would you most like to set aflame?
L: Jo's cell phone.
J: Some of the pink stuff in her room.
Q: Who is shallower?
J: I say tie.
L: I think me. We're shallow in different ways.
Q: If you could be any superhero duo, who would you be?
L: Did Wonder Woman have a sidekick?
J: Stop being weird.
Q: When do you most depend on each other?
L: All the time.
Q: Ice cream or pie?
J: Cookies and cream ice cream.
L: Arch's.
Q: Who's a bigger suck-up?
L: Johanna.
J: I'll take it.
Q: What would you never do together?
J: Get tattoos. Oh! Do drugs. We'd never do drugs together.
Q: Who cries more easily?
L: Me.
J: You do, but it's close.
Q: Who did you vote for last year?
L: You'd better not say Bush.
J: No, I voted for Kerry.
L: Just don't tell her parents or grandparents. She was in College Republicans for a year.
J: Oh come on. I just wanted the T-shirt.
The Verdict: Perhaps Lauren should have described Johanna's politics as "Johanna is motivated by T-shirt acquisition." And maybe Johanna should tell Lauren if she wants to get somewhere, she can drive herself, thank you very much.
