Band/Singer: Too many to count -- Jason Mraz, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Corrine Bailey Rae, Robin Thicke, Elliott Yamin, Nikka Costa, 311, a Fire Inside, Head Automatica, the Strokes, Rage Against the Machine, Regina Spektor, Blake Lewis, Carrie Underwood, Esthero, the Decemberists, Venus Hum, the Bird and the Bee, Imogen Heap, Melinda Doolittle, and a ton others.

I listen to a ton of different stuff.
Movie: Just a few -- "Edward Scissorhands", "Dreamgirls", "Battle Royale"; basically anything with great action, a great story, and/or amazing singers, I'm there.
Disney Movie: If I had to choke one down (I'm not a huge Disney fan), it'd probably be Aladdin, 'cause Robin Williams is brilliant.
TV show: American Idol, hands down.
Color: Blue.
Food: Buffalo wings. I like them dry, with original New York-style buffalo sauce on top. Amazing.
Pizza topping: Pepperoni, or buffalo chicken.
Ice-Cream Flavor: Don't like ice cream very much.
Drink (alcoholic): Magic Hat #9.
Soda: Dr. Pepper.
Store: IKEA. It's like Disneyland for homeowners.
Clothing Brand: Abercrombie & Fitch.
Shoe Brand: American Eagle, Puma.
Season: Summer, definitely.
Month: June.
Holiday/Festival: Memorial Day -- start of summer!!
Flower: Morning glories -- they grow in differently every day.
Make-Up Item: Dunno. Don't wear make-up.
Board game: the Grape Escape. If you remember that game, then you get 10 points.
This or That
Sunny or rainy: Sunny, absolutely. I love when it's nice out, 'cause I can go running.
Chocolate or vanilla: Depends on what it is. Probably chocolate, though
Fruit or veggie: Fruit, by far. I don't like veggies that much. I know that they're good for you and everything, but damn, why do they have to taste so bad?
Night or day: Depends, again. I'm a night owl, but in the summer, I love being out and about in the day. I'll say night, just because that's when most of my fun begins.
Sour or sweet: They're both good. Sometimes I'm really in the mood for sour candy.
Love or money: Yikes. My conscience wants me to say "love", but my brain is screaming "you need to eat!!" I would like to have both, but I'd probably go with money, because love is tainted by money issues, more often than not. I don't want to get married and have no money, 'cause she's not gonna stick around, and it won't be love anymore.
Phone or in person: In person, always.
Looks or personality: Looks are always a great thing, but they fall flat without a strong personality to back them up.
Coffee or tea: Coffee, unless I'm about to perform. Then I'll have some Throat Coat tea.
Hot or cold: Hot, almost always, unless I'm drinking something. Never liked hot beverages all that much.
Your:
Goal for this year: Make it to Hollywood Week on American Idol, get my EP recorded and distributed.
Most missed memory: None missed, all remembered fondly.
Best physical feature: My tattoo (hey, it's a physical feature now!)
First thought waking up: Wow, it's 7pm. It's getting dark out. I should get up now.
Hypothetical personality disorder: ADHD
Preferred type of plastic surgery: Ear reduction, face reconstruction (just a few tweaks here and there).
Sesame street alter ego: Linda, the deaf lady.
Fairytale alter ego: Puss in Boots.
Most stupid remark: "When is Cinco de Mayo? This summer?" -- out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. Man, people thought that one was funny
Worst crime: Breaking and entering, when I was 11. We broke into the local baseball field concession stand and stole a ton of candy and some kids stole a bit of money. I felt so horrible afterwards, 'cause we didn't get caught and the guilt just lived with me for years, that I haven't committed a crime since (besides alcohol consumption, but that's something everybody does at my age).
Greatest ambition: Become a well-known musician and actor, and have a large fanbase, and be a father.
Greatest fear: Not being able to have children, never singing again.
Darkest secret: Ha. Nice try. Nobody on the planet knows my deepest secret.
Favorite subject: Vocal lesson, photography.
Strangest received gift: Blow-up doll for my 19th birthday.
Worst habit: Used to be sucking my thumb, but now it's probably smoking.
Do You:
Smoke: Yes, and I love it, but I need to quit.
Drink: Yes, and I love it, and I can quit whenever I want!
Curse: Yeah, sometimes at the wrong times.
Shower daily: I try to, yeah. The longest I went was 4 days, but I never left the house, so it wasn't too bad. It was still disgusting, though, and I don't recommend it.
Like thunderstorms: If they're shorty, and really action-packed.
Dance in the rain: Only during the summer, 'cause that's when it's the best.
Sing: All the damn time.
Play an instrument: I can play a little piano, and a little guitar.
Get along with your parents: Yeah, for the most part. My mom is one of my best friends, and my dad is slowly becoming that cool dad that I've been hearing about all these years.
Wish on stars: No, 'cause large balls of gas can't making things come true. You have to do it.
Believe in fate: Yes and no. It's got a million shades of grey involved, so I don't exactly know what to believe.
Believe in love at first sight: No, because looks are great and all, but don't matter without a good personality. Someone can be beautiful on the outside, and dark and horrible on the inside.
Can You:
Drive: Yeah, really well. I just don't have a license yet.
Sew: I'm a wreck in front of a sewing machine, but I understand patterns and designing and what not. I just can't make anything of it.
Cook: Yeah, quite often, lately. I make a mean quesadilla, for sure, and I can cook other things. I made rigatoni with meatballs and marinara the other night for my roommates.
Speak another language: I used to be fluent in American Sign Language, and can still hold a conversation.
Dance: Yeah, I took two years of tap, jazz and ballet, and 8 years of hip-hop (4 years were self-taught, but they helped)
Sing: I plan to do it for a living, and people tell me that I sing really well all the time. There's a few haters, though, who try to shoot my voice down 'cause I don't focus on technique and look more for the sound and emotion in it. It's all a matter of opinion, I guess, but I like my voice, and I love to use it.
Touch your nose with your tongue: I have tried a hundred times, but it just doesn't work.
Whistle: Yup. I've got it down to a science.
Curl your tongue: Yeah, but it's not all that impressive. I can only do it once.
Have You Ever:
Been Drunk: Yeah, one might say that I drink too much, but it doesn't get in the way of anything, so I don't see it as a big problem.
Been Stoned/High: Yeah, I don't enjoy it all that much. I always get way too hungry.
Eaten Sushi: Once, and I hated it. I like thai food way better.
Been in Love: It seemed like it for a while there, but I was just being used for sex.
Skipped school: Yeah, but only in college, and once in high school, to see AFI in Boston (with my mom's permission, hahaha).
Made prank calls: Yeah, we used to in middle school all the time. My friend would dial a random number, wait for the answer, and fart on the phone. We were little punks back then.
Sent someone a love letter: Nope. I think that it's tacky.
Stolen something: Yeah, back when I was younger, but I don't do it anymore.
Cried yourself to sleep: When I was a little kid, I bet I did once or twice for being sent to my room.
Other Questions:
What annoys you most in a person? A confrontational attitude. There's nothing I hate more than people who just look for trouble and arguements. It's so aggrivating.
Are you right or left handed? Right handed.
What is your bedtime? Lately, I haven't been to sleep before sun-up. During the summer, it's relatively early, 'cause I work early in the morning.
Name three things you can't live without: Cigarettes, soul music and my ripped up A&F jeans.
What is the color of your room? A gross sand color. I covered a lot of it with posters, but it's still there.
Do you have any siblings? 2 -- Pat (23) and Adrienne (38).
Do you have any pets? No, but I've always wanted an English bulldog.
Would you kill someone you hate for a million dollars? Not unless they were on death row for something horrible. Then it might be justified, but that'd never happen, so no.
What is you middle name? Leigh (which is the IRISH way to spell it, NOT the "girl way"... morons...)
What are you nicknames? CT, Tubbsie, Tubbs... um, Becca has called me Sprinkles a couple of times.
Are you for or against gay marriage? For it. It sucks that we have people running our country that live by the idea that we are a Christian nation, and that gay marriages don't follow what the bible defines as marriage. Who is anybody to say what someone else's love has to have for chromosomes?
What are your thoughts ..ion? I'm torn. In one case, I think that women should be given the choice to put their body through something as taxing as child birth, but on the other hand, (except for cases of abuse or rape) they got themselves into that mess, and they're gonna kill an innocent child's chance of having a great life just because they didn't put a condom on. I think it should really be case-by-case.
Do you have a crush on anyone? Hahaha, what is this, middle school? "YES - NO - MAYBE -- circle one"
Are you afraid of the dark? No.
How do you want to die? I want it to be remembered for years to come, and then, when I'm good and creamated, I want my ashes to be sprinkled into the biggest fountain they have at the Mall of America, so that I'll shoot up in the air for the rest of eternity. That would rule.
What is the largest amount of popsicles that you have eaten on one day? Oh man, I've gone days where I eat at least 20 Fla-Vor-Ice's consecutively.
Would you take a bullet for the one you love? The ones that I love are my friends, and yeah, I would take a bullet for them, as long as it didn't fuck up my vocal chords.
What is the last law you’ve broken? Drank alcohol.
In a Member of the Opposite Sex:
Hair color: I like the whole blonde on top, black on bottom look, on long hair.
Eye color: Doesn't matter.
Height Shorter than me, preferably.
Weight Doesn't matter, as long as s/he takes care of him/herself and enjoys working out.
Most important physical feature: Hair is a big deal to me. If her hair isn't really great, it's a huge downfall.
Biggest turn-off GIRLS: being wicked rude and obnoxiously loud. I like a girl who can be really fun and wild, but not annoying about it. Caring about your image is really important, and that's not only referring to your physical features. GUYS: being really effeminite. That's the worst thing for me right there. If I want a girl, I'll date a girl. I can't stand guys who aren't, y'know, your typical guy. If I'd ever date a guy, I'd wanna be able to watch sports and play poker and be immature and crude with them, without a prissy attitude about it.
