So, Hannah Hamill doesn't have as many teeth as you do, she loves her some ABBA and Beatles, and she's going to be a French-speaking, museum-studying grad student by summer's end. Oh, and would you believe that her clothes are "plain"? Yeah, me neither!
Name:
Hannah Rebekah Hamill, although I usually just go by Hannah Hamill. It sounds more newscaster-esque.
Stats:
Former MHS Wildcat; recent BYU grad; current wife, sister, and daughter; future GW grad student
You studied film at BYU. If you could only watch one movie ever again, what would it be? Any of the Beatles movies (Hard Day's Night, Help!, Yellow Submarine). But if I had to choose... probably Help! "Hey, it's a thingie! A fiendish thingie!" But I love them all.
How did you meet your husband?Robbie and I met at a party when we were in college. I pretended to not know who he was (we had a lot of mutual friends and I'd made awkward eye contact with him in the library) and I think that I startled him when I approached him first.
Was it love at first sight?
Not quite. But I thought that his lisp was cute.
You're going to live in Paris this summer. What's the first thing you'll do?
Well, I was going to find a park and go lay in the grass with a book, but then Robbie told me that it's illegal to walk on the grass in Paris. And there is apparently a lot of dog poop everywhere. So I'll probably just climb the six flights of stairs to our apartment and flop on the sofa-bed until we can go walk on the Trocadero and admire the lights of the Eiffel Tower at night. When I think about it, I am jealous of my future self.
What's the #1 thing you want to do before coming back home?
LEARN FRENCH. I'll be spending 20 hours a week in a French school, so I'd better learn how to parlez-vous francais, if you know what I mean (wink wink, nudge nudge). Okay...
What's your happiest memory?
Summer 2007. Robbie and I were in the beginning stages of our relationship, I was living in a cute house with my best friend Melanie and our kitten Lucille, we still had Waffle Night on Sundays and half-hour dance parties on Wednesdays, and I rode my bike and went swimming almost every day. It was a good summer.
You've gone to a lot of concerts. What was the best one?
Arrival, the ABBA cover band. No contest.
Dream concert you haven't been to?
Radiohead. Probably also The Arcade Fire. Or the resurrected Beatles/reunited ABBA instead of a cover band.
Describe your dream job.
I'm still trying to figure that out. I'm going to start a museum studies graduate program in the fall in the hopes of narrowing down my broad field of interests. Those interests include America, film, music, popular culture, people, and raising a family.
Describe your dream house.
Ack, I save the "sneak peeks" on Design*Sponge all the time. Some of my favorites are here, here, here, here, here, and here. Basically, I would love a spacious house (although anything is spacious compared to our apartment now) with hardwood floors, a wrap-around (OR enclosed) porch, a garden, a yard, a cat, a dog, and kids running around.
What's a book that made you cry?Most recently, Revolutionary Road. I mostly cried out of gratitude for a happy marriage and a loving, understanding husband.
Are you a veggie or a fruit person? What's your favorite?
I think fruit (although I love me a good zucchini anytime). I recently love (and I mean LOVE) pineapple. I don't think that I was exposed to it enough in my early years. I was missing out.
What's something no one would guess about you?
I only have 28 adult teeth (including unextracted wisdom teeth), while most people have 32. I'm really not sure how I missed that.
What's your biggest flaw?
I'm a gossip girl. I find other people's lives much more interesting than mine.
What's the hardest thing you've ever had to do?
What's the hardest thing you've ever had to do?
Moving to DC for four months while Robbie and I were seriously dating felt impossible at the time.
Describe your style.
Preppy/plain. As much as I try to spice up my wardrobe, I am most comfortable in a tee shirt and a pair of jeans or cut-offs. I like to think that my preppy side is mysteriously appealing to my more fashionable and "indie" friends...
Something on your mind lately is...
leaving Provo. I'm happy and sad about it. I'm sad that packing sucks and that I'm leaving my closest girlfriends, but I like thinking about our upcoming exciting year and our new adventures.
What's your theme song?
"Thank You For The Music" by ABBA, because "I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair."
Write us a six-word memoir.
Been there, done that. Moving on!

This is fun! I like these and I love Hannah's stylish outfits.
I like to think that Robbie is channeling Maria von Trapp in that last picture.
Great "capsule" of who Hannah is.
A great interview with Hannah.
