Sometimes it's just really fun to fill out these questionnaire thingies! 


4 names people call me other than my real name:
  1. Ash
  2. Smashley
  3. Zero
  4. Skittles 

4 jobs I've had:

  3. "The Mother We Share" CHVRCHES (my favorite electronic song)
  4. "In a Sentimental Mood" Duke Ellington and John Coltrane (Fave jazz song)
*It's extremely difficult to choose just 4 songs, so each song is a representative of different types of music I like. 

4 places I've lived:

  1. San Diego, CA 
  2. Point Mugu, CA (Military Base) 
  3. Camarillo, CA 
  4. London, United Kingdom 

4 places I'd rather be right now:

  1. Tulum, Mexico (on my bucket list!)
  2. Istanbul, Turkey (always and forever)
  3. Rome, Italy
  4. London, United Kingdom (my fave)

4 things I don't eat:

  1. Seafood 
  2. Sushi
  3. Internal organs of animals (gross!) 
  4. Balut (look it up...it's something I've seen often living in a place with a large Filipino population) 

4 of my favorite foods:

  1. Spaghetti (ALL DAY, ERR'DAY!) 
  2. Cheese (preferably from France or Switzerland) 
  3. Kısır (Turkish dish, yum!) 
  4. Chocolate (I used to prefer milk, now it's dark all the way baby!) 

4 TV shows I watch (that are currently on):

  1. The Mindy Project
  2. GOTHAM 
  3. The Bachelor (the absurdity makes me laugh)
  4. Made in Chelsea (British show, horribly fake reality TV) 

4 things I'm looking forward to this year:

  1. Always looking forward to my next trip! Where in the world is Ashley San Diego? (It fits, doesn't it?) 
  2. Zeroing in on my dream career (I'm getting closer) 
  3. Being more fearless.
  4. Taking steps to be mindful of every day. 

4 things I'm always saying:

  1. Can't be bothered.
  2. I have a serious addiction to travel. 
  3. Coffee! (in the morning when I cannot utter full sentences)
  4. If they just played Marvin Gaye right now, I would be happy.

  5. Whoops. I think that was supposed to be Smokey and it came out Motown. Marvin is definitely Motown and that is a great, great selection. (I know.) :-)

  6. ha yes! I struggled not putting Smokey down, but if given the choice between Smokey and Marvin, Marvin is #1!

  7. In a Sentimental Mood is such a solid pick! Oh, and as far as the Bachelor goes, that show is hilarious. I am team Ashley S. mostly because I absolutely believe that she faked her crazy and has everyone punked. Gotta appreciate those Brooklynites....and performance art at its best.

  13. You lived in places I have halfway lived too - except London. Never lived in Point Mugu but my friend did, so I visited the base quite a bit.
