Do you have good or bad memories of playing dodgeball as a kid?
"All very good memories playing dodgeball. You get to beat up all the weak ones! Nah, I used to get beat up when I was little."	"Good memories. I always used to be with the boys, and we always used to win. I wasn't one of those girly kind of girls."	"Kind of good memories. It was kind of fun."
Who is your favorite local band?
"Ooklah the Moc. I moved here three years ago and used to go over to Anna Bannana's. I like their progression and determination."	"I like Ekolu. The play good songs. I like their new CD that came out."	"I don't really listen to the local bands. (I'm) from Thailand. (I like) dance, or hip-hop."
What food keeps you cool during the summer?
"Freeze-Pops -- that flavored ice you get at Costco. We've got, like, 300 of them! We go through like 40 a day, each."	"I drink the mocha shakes from Starbucks. I get the smaller ones though -- kind of expensive. But that's what I drink every day."	"Shave ice (or) ice cream."
