I was unable to torture Eva in person, but I did do a good job of bothering her online by sending her these millions of "interview" questions to answer.
We couldn't do the trade in person, but Eva sent Mikki to trade with me in her place. A trade Doppelganger?
Here are Eva's answers to my ever-present "interview" questions:
Q: Why do you have the toasts?
A: I am naturally attracted to silly useless items.
Q: Where did you get the toasts?
A: At a Japanese dollar store.
Q: Why do the toasts exist?
A: 1) To help Japanese people learn animal words in English. 2) The people of Japan just can't help themselves when it comes to food-shaped plastic items.
Q: Do you have any friends that you write actual - have to put them in a mailbox - letters to?
A: I haven't for a long time. But I want to!
Q: On a scale of 1-10, how much do you like getting mail?
A: I'd say 8.
Q: Have you ever embroidered anything?
A: Yes I embroidered little Ps on handkerchiefs I made for my beau-friend.
Q: Have you ever put cream cheese on a hot dog?
A: No, but that sounds lovely. I must try it.
Q: How old were you the first time you got drunk?
A: I think I was about 8. My friend lived in a giant communal house on Capitol Hill. They had the best parties, with loads of people who were mostly not keeping track of us. We were emptying cups left unattended.
Q: Do you like squirrels?
A: No I don't. They keep trying to eat my house.
Q: If you could punch anything in nature, what would it be?
A: I think it would have to be fruitflies. Yeah, I'd like to punch fruitflies.
