Who's the most annoying person on TV?
It's a close tie between Rachel "Cunting Ray-Ray" Ray and Dr. Phil, AKA Satan. Both of them are assured a special place in hell, I'm sure. What? Upset? They're not even qualified! Ray-ray has no official cutlinary training and Dr. Phil has no training that warrants the Dr. I CAN. NOT. TOLERATE. Either one of them. And Dr. Phil's guestspots on the dating ads have earned him a new place in my darkest thoughts. Arghh.
What's the weirdest baby name you've ever heard (or considered)?
The weirdest one I ever heard was a model on TV named her baby Paisley. Yep, that's right, a fabric pattern, folks.
We never really considered any weird ones. The front runners had among them Moira, Max, Jack and Reba. I guess Reba's a little weird, but it was my grandmother's name, so there was history. Good thing we had a boy, and good thing I've known for years that I wanted to name my son Liam.
I briefly knew a girl named Seven, which is odd, and it had nothing to do with six siblings either. Never got the story on that one.
How did you pick your Vox name? Does it mean something?

I am going to have a baby; thus, I will be a Momma. It means I will be the Momma to a baby. Wow, this is an awesome question.
What's your sign? What do you think of astrology and horoscopes?
My sign is Aquarius, and as far as my opinion on astrology, I'm hoping there's 'something' to it and that my baby truly embodies a Taurus.
Most descriptions of Aquarians are on point as far as my personality goes, although I try not to be frigid. I had my chart 'done' once, and the astrologer discovered I was a 'double' Aquarius, since it is my rising sign as well. All she said was "Uh-oh. I feel for those who love you." Trying not to live up to whatever that means.

What was the highlight of your summer?
Submitted by ladym.vox.com.
Besides getting knocked up?
Who's your favorite movie villain?
It's a draw between Roman and Minnie Castevet. But they're married, and the acolytes of Satan, so it's ok.
Tannas Root, anyone? I hear it's good for the soul.
