Kevin Cook: Welcome to the Five Minutes of Fame spotlight. You should be honored. So tell me, what’s your focus here at UH?
Jaymie Allen: I’m studying psychology with a minor in sociology.
Cook: Why psychology and sociology? What’s the use in that?
Allen: I enjoy it, and I think it’s best suited for me. Really, I don’t know what else to do. With just a bachelor’s, there isn’t really much I can do at all, but I’ve always planned on getting my doctorate.
Cook: So does that mean that with your keen sense of intuition, you can tell just by observing human behavior whether you’re being lied to?
Allen: Not quite. I think I assume the best out of people and don’t like to think that people lie to me. But I’m sure it happens. And I’m no Freudian.
Cook: Not a Freudian? Sure you don’t want to take a stab at it? Let’s say I had a dream where I’m chased by a giant crab with Meryl Streep’s legs into a pastry shop. What does that mean?
Allen: I’d say that’s an entertaining dream. If I want to delve into unconscious, latent meaning, maybe you’re scared of giant crabs. Who wouldn’t be?
Cook: I don’t know if you’ve been following these spotlight interviews, but this has sort of become a way to find potential romantic engagements. Is there anything the men at UH should know about you?
Allen: The last time I was spotlighted by a publication, I had a few Facebook messages. Guys should know that I’m happily unavailable and taken by my best friend.
Cook: I see.
Cook: So can I hit you up on Facebook sometime?
Allen: Ha! I do not know how to respond to that.
Cook: Sounds like a maybe. Any closing thoughts?
Allen: Peace!
