Destroy evil robots by confusing them with nonsensical jokes. Befriend peaceful robots by mastering robot repair. Please describe your ideal pizza. The pizza of my dreams is slowly cooling to an optimal eating temperature—hot but not too hot. It would never burn the roof of your mouth. It is a fresh square Detroit Sicilian-style pizza with a crispy crust, ample melted mozzarella and pecorino cheeses, a savory not bitter sauce, two or three shakes of red pepper flakes and quarter-sized spicy pepperoni with just a touch of grease. Alongside the pizza sits an inviting puddle of homemade ranch dressing awaiting its soon holy union with the tip of the pizza slice. The pizza is accompanied by exciting friendly conversation, goofy sci-fi movies and carbonated and/or adult beverage. Favorite spice? Garlic, garlic, garlic What are you superstitious about? Tails-up pennies are bad luck. I do not pick them up, but if I see a heads-up penny, I pick it up. This applies to my house as well. There are tails-up pennies in random corners or under dressers that will never be picked up. Best Halloween costume? Giant Floppy Disk Hidden talents? Smoothie-Maker Extraordinaire Favorite book? The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck Tell the world a little bit about your 826 volunteering so far. My favorite 826michigan programs so far have been the Choose Your Own Adventure Workshop Roadshows and the Young Author Book Project. I love the surprise and delight of a Workshop Roadshow and also love the dedication and relationship building of YABP. :D Favorite 826 memory? Bot Choir 2015! We magically robotified Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" within minutes, practiced maybe twice and then performed to a round of applause and cheers from the merry public. :) Words of wisdom to fellow and future volunteers? Be patient. Be open-minded and flexible. Celebrate successes. Guide through challenges. Have fun! Check out Natalie's Volunteer of the Month Write-up Here! |
