Melanie Sperling

Why do you think Waytown Cosmo chose you to interview?
They were desperate and had nowhere else to turn is my best guess.

Give us the most awkward moment in your life.
Wow there’s a lot. One was when some of my guy friends forcefully and against my will picked me up and put me in the boys bathroom in the ME building and screamed “MEL GET OUT GET OUT” except I couldn’t because they’re holding me with the door shut. They definitely found that way more amusing than I did.

If you were a candy what candy would you be and why?
I would want to be some random organic candy from Whole Foods that no one actually likes so that I wouldn’t get eaten.

Do you have any siblings?
Yes two brothers and a sister.

Is there a strong rivalry between you and your siblings? If so, please give us an example.
Yes, definitely with my brothers. We make everything a competition, it’s pretty sad! It’s probably worst in Monopoly… that can get out of hand FAST. Zach and I used to fight in games but these days we try and join together to beat Mike.

Do you play any sports?
Yes soccer, hockey and lacrosse.

What is your favorite magazine besides Waytown Cosmo?
Definitely US weekly because I think it’s reliable and usually has really funny articles that I freakishly laugh out loud at when I’m sitting alone in my room.

Is there any particular advice that you get out of that magazine?
If I’m ever famous wear clothes that COVER my body.

If you had to live the rest of your life without a car or the Internet, which would you go without and why?
Definitely without a car. I mean come on what would I do without WSPN… plus, sadly without Facebook I would know NO ONE.

What is your favorite ice cream?
Probably chocolate or mint chip but I’m really not a big ice cream person. The best part of the ice cream is the cone anyway (not sugar cone, cake cone).

Are you single at the moment?
I’m single… just waiting for some boy to come sweep me off my feet.

What would you consider a perfect date and why?
An ideal date would probably be something that the boy plans that’s a surprise…something mysterious or spontaneous maybe?

Dog or Cat?
Dog.

What do you eat for school lunch?
Strawberry sour straws, an endless amount of cookies, strawberries with whipped cream, shirley temple (extra cherries), pizza crusts.

What do you watch on TV?
Rugrats, Fairly Odd Parents, ROCKET POWER.

What do you wear around the house?
Whatever is on top of the drawer because I’m lazy.

If you could only smell one thing in the world what would it be?
I like the smell of Staples (the store not the metal things… weird I know). Oh and I also like the smell of each new season (spring especially).

If you could only see one thing in the world what would it be and why?
The look on Katie Miller’s face if she meets Zac Efron or the look on Kathryn Washek’s face if she meets Ashley Olsen.

What do people not know about you?
Well, my favorite letter of the alphabet is K, bellybuttons scare me, I’m too paranoid to watch scary movies because I think what happens in them is going to happen to me, I can’t watch girls sports because I get too anxious and want to play, if you knew my dreams every night you would think I was a psycho FREAK, I cant stop laughing if I’m laying on my back, I cant work unless everything around me is perfectly organized, I don’t like to eat the center of strawberries, I usually like to make my bed before I go to sleep in it… and yeah okay the fact that this is getting longer than my Huck Finn paper is probably my cue to STOP talking.
