Where do you work? Describe your job history:
I've worked at Macaroni Grill and Round Table Pizza.
What is your ultimate career goal?
Sports broadcasting, whether it be play-by-play
announcing or doing sports for a news station (TV or
radio). I would also like to start acting in school
and maybe pursue that on the side.
How would someone who really knows you
describe your best traits? I can be
extremely charming and really fun to be around. My
sense of humor is definately one of my best traits. I'm
very loyal to those that I care about as friends. The
people who get close to me are those I will do
anything for.
How would someone who really knows you
describe your worst traits? I am very
stubborn when it comes to many things. My personality,
especially my sarcasm, can be overbearing. Many times
I rub people the wrong way. I get annoyed easily and
I annoy others easily.
Describe your most embarassing moment in life:
Falling in the school rally and taking a picture of
my penis with some random camera when I was drunk and
having the picture get around to all my friends.
Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?
I wish I had a girlfriend.
How important is sex to you? Do you have it
only when you're in a relationship or do you seek it
out at other times? How did it come about on the last
occasion? I haven't had sex outside a
relationship, but I am definately not against that.
Hormones pretty much dominate how I think.
Describe your fantasy date:
Candlelight dinner on a small tropical island with
just me and my date. A live jazz band would be there
and we would spend the night on blankets on the sand
near the water.
Other than a boyfriend or girlfriend, who's
the most important person in your life right now?
I can't distinguish between my mom, dad, brother, and
Trevor. They all care for me and I for them and that
is why the are important. Because they are there for
me whenever.
If you had to describe your mother by
dividing her pesonality into two parts, how would you
describe each part? Caring and loving/intelligent
and socially wise.
If you had to describe your father by
dividing his personality into two parts, how would
you describe each part? Loving/cares for
family.
What are your thoughts on sexual orientations? I don't
know exactly what this question is asking...but I
like sex!
If you had Aladdin's lamp and three wishes,
what would they be? To find the woman of my
dreams. To get hired by a sportscaster or another TV
show. Lastly, that you want me to go to Hawaii.
The
Open Call: Beggars can't be choosers, so
when I went to that open call I would have been happy
to do Road Rules or Real World. I
saw the ad for the open call in the newspaper. Trevor
stayed back to go to class, but then he showed up at
the last moment. We actually went to Marry-Ellis'
table. Mary-Ellis said to Trevor, "Why don't you
ask Sol something that will embarass her?" He
asked an obscene question, which she gave a really
good answer to. You only get a certain time at the
table. Mary-Ellis stopped us and told us we had a
really interesting dynamic. So, we went out back and
this guy Glenn started asking us questions. We
started f**king around with him. We thought maybe we'd
get a second on the casting special as rejects. They
told us if we don't get calls by Sunday, we wouldn't
get in it. Of course, they didn't call. Two weeks
later, they let us know we were going to be on the
casting special.
True
Casting Confession: Why I should Be on the Real
World: Doing all the
follows for the casting special has been awesome. I've
met people who you wouldn't necesarily have met but
you just click with. Whether or not they get picked,
I'm glad I met those people. It's an awesome
experience meeting people from totally different
areas of society. I can see a little bit what it's
like for people to live in a Real World
house. You're thrown in with these peole and you
learn where they're coming from and I think it
definitely helps people grow. Thrown into that
situation, your whole mind-set gets shaken up. I
seriously think that this is probably one of the best
times if not the best time of my life. I've gotten so
much out of this casting process. I can't even
imagine what doing the show would be like.
