Doug Hazelman:
What’s the best way to convince someone on Twitter that I’m not a crazy stalker?

Cheryl: First of all, Doug, it’s important to realize that you ARE a crazy stalker. But if you want to masquerade your crazy stalking as something else, try avoiding sexually charged words like “touch” or “caress” and avoid insisting on meetups, etc. Unless you’re me, and you call your stalking something cute, like Fast Friends. Ahem.

Rob Wheaton:
I blow my nose in the shower; my wife thinks it’s gross but I think it’s environmentally friendly. Thoughts?

Cheryl: Ew, like on a washcloth? And then you, like, clean your parts with it? Disgusting. But definitely eco-friendly! Go you?

Steven Phillips:
What was your favorite TV show as a child? What is your current favorite show? What made you become a geek?

Cheryl: I was a huuuuuge Power Rangers fan. I used to roleplay Power Rangers at daycare. I always got stuck being the red ranger, probably because of my manly heroic qualities. My current favorite TV shows are Mad Men, Nip/Tuck, Weeds, the Daily Show and Colbert Report, Family Guy, Iron Chef America, Scrubs and House. I’ve always been a geek, partially because I’ve always been much better at e-socializing than real person socializing.

Evan Roberts:
What do you use for your e-mail? Out look? Entourage? none of the above?

Cheryl: My primary e-mail address is gmail, and I just use… gmail, lol. At work I have Outlook. My website e-mail account runs through Round Cube, but I rarely ever check that.

Josh Wilson:
If a train is traveling from Korea with a load of 500 kg traveling at the rate of 169 mph, and a scooter traveling from Yucatan Peninsula with a load of 25kg traveling at the rate of 25mph. How fast is an elephant traveling in Africa?

Cheryl: Approximately 40.23 kilometers per hour.

Cara Keithley:
If a cop pulls me over for tweeting and driving, how do I get out of the ticket?

Cheryl: I would advise lots of low cut tops for drives you foresee yourself tweeting during. Usually works for me.

Josh Doty:
Why are women so complicated, why can’t they just say what they mean/want?

Cheryl: To answer your question, blue.

Jim Brochowski:
What made you decide to be a good idea? How did you know? Have you always been into PR / Marketing type stuff?

Cheryl: I’ve always been a good idea! I was a sharp little smartass at an early age. I adopted the tagline “I am a good idea”around August because I thought it captured my creativity and confidence nicely. To answer your second (third?) question, no. I always wanted to be a politician or a journalist. I came into school for political science, intending to go to law school, and intending to hold office someday. However, I got very frusturated with the political system as I got more involved with it, so I decided to become a political journalist. Then I realized I wanted to make money. And here I am. I enjoy PR and marketing, but it’s still not my “end” - I now aspire to be a fake reporter on the Daily Show.
