What is your biggest pet peeve?

Ann Marie Milazzo, vocalist for the East Village Opera Company, at the Lied Center April 12: Dishes in the sink.

Joel Bard, Hopkins, Minn., senior: When two drivers are driving side by side on the road, rendering you unable to drive past them.

Who is the biggest influence in your life and why?

A.M.M.: I would have to say my mother. She was and still is a great role model for me. In my adult life, I will say my girlfriend, Marlena. She introduced me to art and tons of amazing books.

J.B.: Nick Nolte’s character, Socrates, from the movie Peaceful Warrior, because he is guiding me on my lifelong path toward enlightenment.

What’s your favorite thing to watch on TV?

A.M.M.: I love anything sci-fi, so I watch that channel all the time. I love scary movies and thrillers. I also love the show Man vs. Wild and Girlfriends. All the women are gorgeous and funny.

J.B.: KU Basketball. Period. And also, Flight of the Conchords, South Park, The Office and Heroes.

What’s your favorite holiday and why?

A.M.M.:Valentine’s Day. I am a hopeless romantic and am addicted to cheap chocolate, and I Iove flowers.

J.B.: Halloween, because it’s the one time of year allowed by society to fully embrace your dark side.

What’s your favorite childhood memory?

A.M.M.: I would have to say when I would walk in the apple orchard in the dead of winter. I loved the feeling of being surrounded by snow. I would wait there until it got a bit dark and the deer would come out and search for buried apples.

J.B.: Winning color wars at summer camp as the green team captain.
