Do you always carry breath mints? No, I don’t find it essential considering I only get (or got, by now) a certain allowance per week and my budget is usually just right to fit in food, gas, other necessities, and maybe one or two nights of eating out. JM always brought a pack of those every day though and if I felt like I needed one, it was easy to ask him for one. On a side note, it’s so weird having to type these out in the past tense now that that part of my life is virtually over... What is the point of scented pens/pencils/erasers? I don’t think they have one. They’re just fun to have around if they’re new to you and you have a bit of extra money to buy them. Do you buy/wear band-aids with cartoon characters on them? No but we do have packs that come in different colors, which is entertaining enough for me. Are you amused by celebrity fashion flubs? Egh, not as much these days but it’ll sometimes be fun to look at what people are wearing at major events like the Oscars and Met Gala to see who hit the mark and who didn’t. What do you think your reaction would be upon entering the White House? Political feelings aside, I think I’d be as excited going there as I would be going to other tourist destinations. Bonus points if they’ve got a museum inside.
Do you buy and wear crazy looking socks? I wouldn’t call them crazy-looking, but I do like socks with wackier designs like if they’re sushi-themed or burger-themed haha. Would you run down the street wearing a tutu, fishnets, & flippers? That literally just sounds like a task that other college orgs make their applicants do as part of their application process. I’d do it if it was a dare or if something’s in it for me, but I wouldn’t on my own. Have you ever grown your own sea monkeys or dinosaurs? I don’t know what you mean. Would you want to travel into deep space? You kidding? I’ve wanted to go to space since I first read about people going to the Moon. I’d for sure do it if it was offered to me. Have you ever thrown a game controller (or the game) and broke it? Nah but pretty similar; I’ve often smacked my laptops when something goes wrong, like if the internet isn’t fast enough or if it hangs.
Did you ever own an Etch-a-Sketch? No. I think my mom did though. Do/did you ever have glow-in-the-dark stars on your ceiling? Nope, but my dad’s family in Tondo had these, in my cousins’ room. When we went over to visit we’d typically spend the night, so every time it was lights out the stars were my favorite thing to see cause they felt pretty magical to me. Does your house have an attic that had stuff in it when you moved in? No. We don’t have an attic but our third floor is our rooftop. What movie were you really worked up for that ended up disappointing you? Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. And this is gonna get so much flak, but The Shawshank Redemption. Does/did your school have special dress-up days? No for both schools I’ve been in. I do appreciate the fact that my current school has no dress code though. What cartoons did you watch when you were little? A lot, since kids are supposed to watch cartoons anyway lol. My favorite ones were Spongebob, Fairly OddParents, Mr. Bean, The Wild Thornberrys, Jimmy Neutron, House of Mouse, and The Emperor’s New School. Do you eat peanut shells along with the peanuts? I don’t. Have you ever gone white-water rafting? Nope. What part of a paper is hardest for you to write? Introduction. It sets the tone for your entire paper so if it isn’t good or appealing enough, it’s hard to follow through and come up with an excellent piece overall. Does your grandma wear an apron when she cooks? I never saw her wearing one, no. This is your chance to get it out! Place random rant here: Get me the fuck out of this house. How often do you need "me" time? These days I’ve had so much of it I wouldn’t even want it anymore for a while after this lol. Normally though, it’s important for me to have this at the end of the day. I’m always with a bunch of people and friends everyday in school and recharging by being alone is vital to me. Does it bother you that almost everything is done on computers now? Sometimes it can feel impersonal, like if you get invited to a debut or wedding through Facebook. But most of the time I find it convenient because everything is instant now. Have you ever gotten stuck in a revolving door? I don’t think so. There was a time I had fun going around a revolving door at the City of Dreams entrance for a few turns because I hadn’t seen one in a while hahahaha but I didn’t get stuck. Who is your favorite superhero? Not big on that whole genre. I guess I like Wonder Woman. KFC Chicken: original or extra crispy? Original please. What class in school do/did you secretly love? Idk, if I like a class I’d be vocal about it lol. What animal do you most resemble while eating? A human? Pop-Tarts vs. Toaster Strudels. Discuss: I’ve never had the second one and I really like Pop-Tarts, so the verdict here is prrrrretty obvious. Do you believe there are subliminal messages in songs? Like...Illuminati-wise? Lmao not at all, but people sure were busy trying to prove this about Beyonce and Lady Gaga back in 2009. I do think other intentional forms of subliminal messages exist, like how Hayley was actually singing the word ‘mercy’ when she sang the chorus to Simmer. Think about your first kiss. Did you have any idea what you were doing? No, she had to teach me how to move my lips and to not be scared and just go with the dance, because I was very nervous. Would you play Jumanji, if given the chance? I’ve never seen the movie, both original and remake.
Name a song lyric you heard wrong the first time and what it really said: I can’t recall an instance at the moment. Do you text/call while going to the bathroom? (Go multitasking!) I’ll bring my phone so I can scroll through Reddit or play games. Do you always make sure your cell phone is charged before going somewhere? Most of the time. I’ll still forget sometimes, though. Did you get Happy Meals just for the toys as a kid? No. They weren’t my kind of toys so I didn’t really ask my parents for Happy Meals. I asked for other toys I knew I’d have more use out of instead.   Have you ever seen your parents cry? If so, how did it make you feel? My mom. She was crying because my sister did a very kiddie mistake, and I was mostly indifferent because at that point our relationship was severed, and also why the fuck would you cry over a little booboo your 8 year old daughter did? She was being dramatic that day and I had no fucking time nor pity for it. What are your thoughts on Chuck Norris? I mostly know him as a 9GAG meme but other than that I know nothing of him. Did you answer that last question with a random Chuck Norris fact? No.
What is the most annoying sound in the world? Boomers complaining and getting their uninformed opinion out in the open. Do you honestly care about calories and fat content? No. How do you feel about animal testing? Fuck outta here. Do you often shift blame towards others? No. This is what my mom did and continues to do, and like I’ve said before I’ve made it my life’s mission to not do the things she did. Do you ever feel like you're smarter than your boss? I don’t have a boss. But I definitely didn’t doubt my internship boss, she was obviously very wise and had gone through a lot to get to where she is today. Your very first best friend: Is he/she STILL your best friend? No. Do you add condiments to your ice cream, or just eat it plain? Nah dude what the hell? Have you ever witnessed a crime? I saw a car very nearly run over a group of pedestrians walking on the pedestrian lane, but the driver was able to hit the brakes before they hit them hard. What's the coolest personalized license plate you've ever seen? Not a lot of cool plates here considering we’re only allowed a maximum of three letters and three numbers. If a plate is personalized it’s usually the driver’s initials and birthday, and that is hardly interesting lol. Did you ever have a piggybank that literally ate your money? No.

Getting dressed with Evan Rachel Wood
Truly, there has never been a better, or more beautiful, robot to fall in love with than Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores on HBO’s Westworld. By turns docile or alluring, then menacing and verging on insane, Dolores is one of the most complex portrayals of womanhood currently on screen, in a year packed with strong roles for actresses. What’s most brilliant about Wood’s portrayal is the tenderness she gives to Dolores at what should be her most robotic, such as when she’s being quizzed by her human overlords or struggling to remember a past life. One senses the deep well of emotion that Wood, with her watchful eyes, draws upon to make the character heartbreakingly human.
This evening, however, Wood is far from robotic as her team readies her for the Emmys in the home she is renting in Silver Lake (a respite from the deserts of Utah, where Westworld is filmed). She laughs that when she’s asked about her fitness regimen—a requisite for actresses, it seems—she can now say it’s horseback riding and gunslinging, both of which feature heavily on the show. In person she is quick to laugh, whether at herself or her rather ancient-seeming cat, a world away from her intense roles.
Wood’s red carpet style is brilliantly distinctive, and she eschews the nude strapless gowns that many actresses and their stylists adore. Tonight she is in a brilliant white tuxedo (shoulderless, obviously) custom created by Jeremy Scott for the House of Moschino, her hair slicked back into a sharp, modern chignon. Tonight, she laughs, she wants a Moon Child from The Neverending Story look—dewy and radiant in white.
Below, the most chic woman to conquer the Wild West discusses disrupting the red carpet, her love of Bowie, and the secret to looking good—Moon Juice.
How do you feel in general about the getting-ready process?
I think if you have the right team and the right vibe, and if you approach it with the mind-set of having fun instead of the pressure of looking good and driving yourself crazy, then it’s actually a really nice, meditative place to go to before you walk into a chaotic space. And I actually like the people who do my hair and makeup! Toby and I have been working together since I was 21, and John and I have been working together a few years. So it’s nice; it’s like a fun get-together with friends.
You’re known for a directional beauty look.
Growing up, I was really inspired by David Bowie, and how you couldn’t put him in a box. He was always reinventing himself, and he really led the way for glam rock and androgyny. So that was the world I felt most comfortable in.
I think because it’s easy to fall into a trap—not of being vain, necesarily, but caving to the pressure of what you think people want you to be in this industry. For me it’s just always been kind of enjoyable if it was about expression, and trying to convey a certain vibe or idea. Something that I know will inspire a feeling in somebody. Especially now. I feel like if you’re a woman in pop culture right now, you can’t help but feel like you have some kind of responsibility on your shoulders to inspire people to be who they are. So that comes into play.
The red carpet is very repressed.
Small gestures go a long way, surprisingly! Yes, I wore an outfit at an event, but there was a message behind it. And it’s the message that I think really stuck with people.
There’s definitely a message in Dolores’ rather straitlaced outfits. Do you enjoy the period aspect of the show?
The show is fun because Dolores is about four different characters at once; she has so many versions of her being. It was fun to really go and do something that I hadn’t done before, so far in the opposite direction. She is this very stereotypical Disney princess, but there was always supposed to be something underneath that the guests were supposed to be drawn to.
It was supposed to be this deeper wisdom and consciousness. And I think every season is really going to be kind of different. I don’t think any of us are always going to be doing the same thing. We’ll discover different parts and characters. That’s what really drew me to it: I got to play the really genuine, sweet farm girl, but also a very highly intelligent computer, and merge with this other, darker entity. And surf in and out of all the turbulence. So it was multitasking like no other role I’ve played.
The Season 2 teaser has just released, and it’s rather dramatic, to say the least.
[Wood laughs] Oh, man. She’s a very different beast!
The show builds very slowly and incrementally.
You feel like you’ve really earned it when it happens. I think that’s why the trailer got such a strong reaction, because people have been rooting for her to break free and be in control of her own destiny, and I think to see her finally on the front lines is really satisfying.
Do you wear makeup when you’re not working?
I don’t wear makeup. I used to! I feel like I’ve gone through every makeup phase and really explored it. And I still do it, but I got to the point where I wear so much makeup for my job that when I’m not doing a photo shoot or Westworld or a film, I don’t wear any. Just to save my skin, really. But it’s kind of nice.
Oh, and sunscreen! Honestly. That’s it. I’m so pale as it is, I have to wear sunscreen every day, but that’s the secret to not aging. Especially now. Slather it on!
Do you have a self-care regimen that’s not makeup-based?
After working on Westworld, I really understand why there is a reason to take care of yourself, because the stuff we actors have to put our bodies through is really intense. And especially on that show—it’s incredibly physical, we’re in 113-degree weather, and this season is much more chaotic, so there’s a lot more physical stuff. You’re also putting your emotions through the ringer, so that takes a toll on your body. If you don’t take care of yourself, you’re going to get hurt. So it’s a necessity. I do a lot of bone broth and turmeric. I don’t usually eat a big breakfast; I just have a protein shake. I drink as many juices as I can because I hate eating salads. I just kind of down that [laughs].
What’s it been like spending months on a horse? Delores is always on the run!
I’ve been riding horses since I was a kid. I started out riding English, and then Western. I wanted to barrel race, but I was working already. And now I’m doing all kinds of stuff. But it’s great, because I feel really safe and secure in my ability and on that set, because they have the best in the business. Sometimes I get home from work and I just can’t believe what I’ve been doing all day. No one would ever believe me.

Multitasking mamas
So, You’re a mom now? YAY! Welcome to adulthood. As I sit here writing this, I have the flu - which I got from my son. You would think that I would be upset about it but not really. These things happen. I am absolutely happy, however, that I have taught my son the manners he needs to live in the real world. Bless this kids heart if he didn't take care of mama just as she has taken care of him. Covered me up and patted me as I napped. He is a real blessing. 
          On a different note- I am going back to school for my Bachelors of Science in Early Elementary Education. I also take care of my elderly grandmother and work my very ample butt off making sure she is happy and moderately healthy. To anyone out there who says being a "stay-at-home" mom is easy... let me be the first to offer my condolences to you on not learning anything about walking in someone else's shoes. I have been in the work-force. I absolutely love the job satisfaction that comes in raises, praise, and commendation from the company. I even got emails from the corporate office telling me that my calls were exemplary. WOW. As a mother (caretaker, stay at home mom, whatever you want to call it), you do not get a raise because surprise - you do not get paid. You get praise in the form of hugs and kisses.  You get praise in the form of your grandmother telling you she doesn't know how she would live without you. Your grandfather saying he knew his wife would be okay before he passed because she had you. THAT, my friends, is a commendation of the highest. Moms don't have it super tough and none of us are doing terribly hard labor. We are cleaning up vomit and poop after a stomach virus, we are the praise behind our husbands (telling him he can do anything and we will support him), we are the bill payers, the clothes washers, and the toilet cleaners. We may not be able to tidy up on a daily basis because our little one was sick and didn't want you to leave their side. They wanted mama to read to them and hold them while they ran a fever. And girl, you sweated whilst holding that baby but you didn't dare move or shift as he or she finally gets to sleep. Your arms fall asleep and you are the most uncomfortable you have been since you were pregnant. But do you move? Not even for a second because that angel depends on you. 
         So, Is our house perfectly in order all the time? Not even close to it. But my son is happy and loves me to the moon and back. Because I care more about spending time with him and being his mom than I do about my own reputation. I don't care if someone walks in and sees play-doh bits on the floor and paper in my hair because I smile thinking of the memory of watching that little mind light up with ideas. To the husbands who have made it this far into the reading- congrats. You paid attention father than my own would. Let me give the GUYS some advice here. Do not belittle your partner. They are supposed to be your partner. As a Christian, I absolutely believe that a man should care for his family and protect them with all he has. This means that when your wife wakes you up thinking that she hears a noise- you go check out that noise instead of telling her "you go see". Because if it WAS a burglar you basically just left her at a disadvantage if the suspect is a man. Also, Instead of talking first to your "guys" about your day and troubles, try telling your wife. She can be comforting and soft and help alleviate that stress you feel. Then, after she listens, helps you through your problems- ask her about her day. Ask her if she got what she wanted accomplished or if your child did anything funny today. That in and of itself can be a stress relief. Laughter is the best medicine. When you leave her to her own thoughts and never let her lean on you, you are not doing your job as her husband. She is supposed to lean on you as you are her pillar. The center of the household that holds it up, are you not? Men often praise and love their wives to the fullest. For those who wonder what their wives did all day or accuse them of being lazy etc, please understand that every path is different and to be supportive of your lady. If you are not and do not wish to be- move on so that she can find someone who will be on her side no matter what. 
   My father and mother sometimes fought like cats and dogs. He and she would "try" to hide it from us by closing doors. He NEVER took anyone's side but hers. They may have fought like crazy but he told me once " Your mother is my absolute everything. Do not ever expect me to take anyone's side over hers because I will not. Ever." And this, friends, is how a man should have his womans back. Always. And vice versa with you ladies. ALWAYS take your mans side. Are you a mama? Do you absolutely need to go out every weekend to party? Nope. Hate to tell some of yall this but you're old. Its always sad to see that one older person at the club trying to get down, twerk, and show out like the younger ones. There is a time and place for everything. A holiday party? Go, girl- do your thing. But when you have to go every weekend it ends up taking time away from your family and home. I'm not saying don't have fun. Going bowling with a group of friends or family is fun. All I am saying is that when you are posting on Facebook and Instagram how lit you are one weekend and then how much you love your church the next- it looks kind of ... odd. 
   By all means, you guys- yall do you. Be your absolute true self. No one is stopping you. But do not expect me to take slack for my house being unclean (and yall judging ME) when yall are off smoking pot and drinking whilst your kid is at home with a sitter. We all do the best we can with what we have. Remember that before trying to be rude to someone.
 Also- on a totally unrelated note- my secret Santa SLAYED this year. 
I hope everyone has a happy holiday and ignores most of this. This is my holiday rant. God bless all of you- amen.
