1Emma-and-JP
seniors JP and Emma

Jonathan Paquette and Emma Zamec
Knight Errant: You’re getting ready for a date: what song do you blast to get pumped up?
Emma Zamec: Taylor Swift
Jonathan Paquette: Usually Man Of The Year by Schoolboy Q but I’m starting to like country too. But like pop country, not ‘I killed my dog and drank a beer in my truck’ kind of country. I actually love any kind of music really.

KE: How long have you two been together?
EZ: we’ve been friends for a while, but we started hanging out a lot about three months ago.
JP: Yea it all kind of started when we went to Homecoming together, but it’s only been official official for a solid day and a half.
EZ: A day and a half of absolute bliss.

KE: What was your first impression of each other?
JP: We met for the first time at Maddie Moore’s cabin during the summer going into our junior year. And I mean I obviously thought she was pretty attractive when I first saw her.
EZ: We spent a lot of time talking that weekend. I guess I just remember you being really easy to talk to. Oh and I remember we went jet skiing together.
JP: But I’m pretty sure you liked Tift then, so I think you ended up spending most of the weekend with him…
EZ: Oh my god you’re right. But everyone likes Tift at some point, so it wasn’t anything personal.

KE: You’ve planned a picnic in the park: what food do you bring for your date?
JP: Cheese, loads of cheese
EZ: I hate cheese.
JP: I know, I’d probs get her Chipotle
EZ: Oh for sure Chipotle. I know his order by heart.
JP: Oh man, that’s when you know it’s getting serious.

KE: If you had to describe each other with a color, what color would it be and why?
BOTH: Red
EZ: I’d say red for him because it’s his favorite color.
JP: Actually no, I’m changing my answer to blue. She looks great in blue, and she loves anchors and sailing.
EZ: I don’t actually sail, but I love the idea of sailing. He got me a bracelet with an anchor on it for Christmas actually.
KE: What did Emma get you, JP?
JP: This shirt *points to flannel*. I wear it every Friday for ‘Flannel Friday’. It’s a thing.
EZ: It’s definitely catching on.

KE: What romantic comedy is most like your relationship?
JP: Well on our first date we watched Fifty First Dates.
EZ: Which is about memory loss—so that’s not really us.
JP: The Vow?
EZ: Also about memory loss. What are you trying to say, JP?

KE: Favorite thing about each other?
EZ: Well, his sense of humor because sometimes I get really stressed and then he can always make me laugh. He is the nicest person I have ever met; he is also always there to back me up. And he’s really cute.
JP: She’s always there for me, which is really nice. There is also never a dull moment when we hang out; she’s always up for trying new things. Even if ends up with us embarrassing ourselves—like it usually does.

MB: It wasn’t funny.
