This month, Angela shares with StarsEntertainment.com exclusively her funniest memory, most challenging situation and her plans for the summer. Read on to get the scoop.

First memory that pops into your head?

Nervous and shaking after performing to the largest crowd I’ve ever played guitar in front of.  Least Complicated by Indigo Girls, as a duet with my friend at our annual talent show at UCLA, Spring Sing.

Hardest thing you ever had to do?

Produce, shoot, create, and host the independent documentary project Plastic Paradise, about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.  Hardest yet most rewarding learning experience of my life thus far.

Funniest thing you can think of that you saw/heard/experienced?

Honestly? The time my cousin gave me a ride on her shoulders when I was a kid, and we turned around to look at ourselves in the mirror, and upon seeing how silly we looked I ended up laughing so hard I peed my pants, subsequently peeing all over her.

Best prank you ever did/received?

I convinced my friend who had never been to In N Out Burger that on the underground menu you could order it Doggy Style. When she went to order it, the reaction on the cashier’s face, and my friend’s flushed cheeks was priceless.

Five things you cannot live without:

1.     My family and friends

2.     My phone

3.     My computer/internet connection

4.     My leather day planner with which I pencil everything in

5.     The ocean

If you could invite three people to dinner, who would it be and why?

Oprah – to raise a glass to her influence on society, and to find out how she does it all

Nicholas Kristof – to hear his craziest, scariest, and most rewarding off the record story he’s encountered in his career

Kim Jong Il – I just got back from a trip to the DMZ, so it’s fresh on my mind. So little is known about the world’s most secretive dictator, any conversation would be revealing. I want to find out more about one of the most isolated nations in the world.

What are you looking forward to this summer?

Summer of concerts! So far I’ve been to Jack Johnson, Coachella, Glee Live, Bruno Mars, Matt and Kim, U2, and looking forward to Rihanna, Maroon 5, Train, Gavin Degraw, Sara Bareilles, Hollywood bowl nights, Santa Monica concerts on the pier, SF Outside lands!
