Should I call you Nicole or Snooki?

Nicole, please.

Do most people call you Nicole?

No, but I miss it.

You got a lot of attention for tweeting your support for John McCain because he wouldn't tax tanning.

I didn't really think people would follow politics on Twitter, but I guess they do. Everybody thinks it's weird that me and McCain are friends. I think he's awesome. I call him Johnny.

Did you vote for him?

Yes, I did.

How often do you go tanning?

To be honest with you, I haven't gone tanning since the show wrapped. That was in September.

Is your skin pale?

Oh, no. I think I'm naturally tan.

So why go tanning?

Because you want to be darker than you already are, silly.

I've never gone tanning.

When you're tanner, you feel hotter and sexier. You should try it.

Will people treat me differently?

Oh, yeah. You'll get hit on a lot more. Trust me.
