• Voice part: Tenor, even though I was called back as a bass...

• Have you ever broken any bones? Rollerblading downhill and going really fast and losing control and running into a huge crack in the ground and tripping and falling forward into the concrete and breaking my wrist, ouch :(

• What is your favorite thing to do when it rains? I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again!

• Favorite game? Apples to Apples, because it lets you see how weird your friend's minds really are!

• What's your weirdest pet peeve? People who smack their lips when they eat... ew. It drives me nuts!

• If you were given a blank piece of paper and told to do something creative to/with it, what would you do? Write a mysterious letter, fold it into a paper airplane or ninja star, and throw it at somebody.

• Stupidest comment ever made? And here we go...

Elliott: Mr. Heeren, can I borrow a pencil?
Mr. Heeren: Sure!
[Elliott uses the pencil to erase something.]
Kate: Elliott, you're using the wrong side of the pencil!
Elliott: This makes words go away!

[watching a History Channel reenactment of the French Revolution]
Elliott Jin: “Wait, how did they get this footage?”
Mr. Heeren: “…Video camera?”

Mr. Heeren: “No one in high school needs to lose weight.”
Elliott Jin: “I don’t think that’s true –“
Mr. Heeren: “Okay, no one in high school should need to lose weight.”
Elliott Jin: “Well, no one in high school SHOULD...”
Mr. Heeren: “I’m trying to dig you out here, Elliott.”

Mr. Heeren: “Just remember the Tudors…”
Sean Cray: “I tutor.”
Mr. Heeren: “[ha ha ha] That’s right.”
. . .
Elliott Jin: “That’s actually the wrong spelling.”
Matt McGaw: “Nothing gets by you, Elliott!”
