Heather McGowan
Any foods that you love? All. I love all the food, except melon(s). Where where you born? Thompson, Manitoba: the (maybe) wolf capital of the world.
What about favorite movies? Any psychological thriller from the 90s starring either Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington.
Got any kids or animals? My landlords have a couple dogs named Bella and Nugget.
What was your first ever job? Upselling/eating popcorn at the movie theatre concession stand.
Describe a great Friday night: It somehow involves knocking back some beers.
What annoys you? Bad grammar. They're vs there vs their. Your vs you're. You get it.
