Get To Know Your FiPS Writers: Meredith & Roshow

Ever read a great FiPS post and think to yourself, Hot damn. I'm in lurrrve with this writer (see also: I fucking haaaate this writer). Well for the next few months we're going to give you an insight into the writing staff here at FiPS. Contributors were paired together and asked to come up with some burning questions for each other so that you guys can learn a little more about the minds behind this FiPS-tastic blog. Because when it comes down to it, we're fucked in Park Slope JUST LIKE THE REST OF YOU SUCKERS. 

So far we've given you ERICA & URSULA, BEN & JESS and Justin & Mike. Next up: Roshow and Meredith!

What's your favorite hang in the borough, Park Slope or otherwise?

ROSHOW: The Gate is easy, fun, and less crowded than it used to be. Also, my mom's apartment when she's out of town.

MEREDITH: The Promenade in Brooklyn Heights, period. Every time I'm out there I think, "How could anyone live anywhere but here?"

What's the most inappropriate thing you've ever done in Prospect Park?

ROSHOW: Partied by myself in the bushes when I was 14.

MEREDITH: Considering all of the places I've had sex (apologies to every airport parking lot in Southern California), I wish I had something racier than "yelling at old people while running the loop." I disappoint, yet
again.

Why do you like writing?

ROSHOW: I like making stuff up. It's also a good place to vent my sarcasm. Actually, a great place for that.

MEREDITH: I write because I have to. Because I will explode if I don't.

What's your favorite curse word or phrase and why?

ROSHOW: ... 

MEREDITH: Call me vanilla, but I'm a regular ol' "fuck" kind of girl. Credit where credit is due, though; this can be completely accredited to my born-and-bred-in-Flushing-projects father, who always finds some way to work it into a sentence.

If you were a mobster, what kind of crime would you be committing?

ROSHOW: Bootlegging!

MEREDITH: Killing people really doesn't do it for me, so I'd probably be money laundering or drug trafficking (or both--why choose!).

If someone told you tomorrow you had to move to Texas, what would your first thought be?

ROSHOW: "I hope it’s Austin. I hear Austin is cool." Funny, I would expect a more belligerent answer than that from me.

MEREDITH: I'd stop having thoughts immediately. I'd be less likely to shoot myself if I didn't think about it too hard.
