Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag [ten] friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.

Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling Nation by Terry Pratchett Pöllöhilloa by Helena Meripaasi The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin The Pixar Story by Leslie Iwerks So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane The Pendragon Legend by Antal Szerb The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

Here goes!

1. What is your favorite kind of cheese? And if you are not fond of cheese, answer this question with whatever you feel like.

    Well, I am quite fond of cheese, so I'd say my favorite is cheddar. You can put it on any cracker or any bread and you can get it sharp or mild; it's just great.

2. What is your favorite word?

     OMG Princeton asked me this same question on my application! For that I said defenestrate (meaning to throw out the window), but I might also say antediluvian (meaning really old or antiquated, or literally meaning "before the flood" as in the one with Noah and the ark and the animals).

3. If you had to be a sea-dwelling animal, which would you be?

    Oh so hard! I just went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, so I'm especially knowledgable about sea creatures right now. I'm gonna say otter, because they're so cute and they're very caring and they don't have big fights with each other and ack so cute.

4. Polka dots or stripes?

    Polka dots. It's that easy.

5. What does art mean to you?

     An excellent question! I'd say art is something that someone created to be displayed, something for people to look at and experience in an out of body way, sort of. They don't have to touch it or be it, necessarily, but they have to experience it. And it doesn't have to create an emotional reaction. But it does have to be something that is strived for, as in practiced and refined and not finished on the first go. For example, I wouldn't call my "proficiency" at writing essays for English art because  I barely do any editing or anything, I don't work to make it better. But I would consider my singing art because I didn't start out when I was six singing the same way I do now. I guess that makes sense.

6. Do you consider white chocolate to be real chocolate?

     Wow, um, yeah I guess so. Actually, I'm gonna go with a definitive yes. Because it's made the same way as normal chocolate but without the cacao? I don't really know. But I like white chocolate well enough so...

7. Art museums or science museums?

     Um, can I say history museums? If not, then I'd go with science museums because I LOVE aquariums.

8. Regular bunnies or lop-eared bunnies?

    Regular bunnies, because we have these really cute bunnies that live by the pond and they're wild and regular and really small and cute and heeeheeheehee.

9. Do you like rain?

     Good God, I LOVE rain!!! I was in London this summer and I went out for a walk with my dad and all of a sudden as we were walking along the Thames it started POURING rain and we were running down the sidewalk trying to dodge it and it was great. And then three summers ago, I was in New York City and my dad and I were walking through Central Park and it started POURING there too and we were like oh shit and we went up to that castle thing in the middle of the park and were hanging out thinking it would let up and then it never did and we got soooooo went and I was wearing these TOMS and it was just all bad my feet got so wet. And then two summers ago I was in Cooperstown, New York, and we were at the baseball compound and it started pouring and they had to use these weird rolly sponges to get the water off the fields. Okay, that sounds like I don't really like rain, but I do. It's so beautiful when it rains and the sky gets all grey and cloudy and everything looks so clean. Rain is like a shower for the world.

10. Unicorns or flying horses?

     Well, since one of my favorite Disney movies is Hercules and Pegasus is a sass master in it, I'd have to go with flying horses. Plus I think I can kind of group hippogriffs in with this, and they're freaking awesome.

11. What is your patronus? Or just your favorite animal?

     Oh wow, such a good question. I think my patronus would be some kind of cat like maybe a jaguar or panther especially. A lynx would be pretty cool too. Or like, a giraffe haha.

Okay, here are my questions:

1. Coloring books or draw your own pictures?

2. Do you prefer sweet or savory crêpes?

3. Parlez-vous français?

4. What is the farthest you've been from home?

5. What's the last book you read for fun?

6. Have you ever had a crush on one of your teachers?

7. Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch?

8. Do you get lots of letters in the mail?

9. Have you seen all the Star Wars movies?

10. What is your favorite board game (and why)?

11. What is your favorite part about tumblr?

Thanks again for tagging me, Ella! I'm gonna tag some people, but don't feel obligated to do it if you don't want to. I hope you like my questions enough to answer them :)  (especially if GG tagged you too or anyone else). Also, I'm only gonna tag five people because i'm lame and lazy and also because I want EVERYONE to answer me, if you feel like it. And I don't wanna pressure anyone into doing it, so these are the people I feel comfortable bothering about answering my questions, but if anyone wants to talk, DO IT because you're awesome and beautiful.

1) What’s your philosophy?

Be yourself.

2) Why are you following me? (creepy stalker)

Favourite book has to be Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind. It is in the middle of a series but it can stand alone.  Well I guess you need all the background from the other books but the story mostly is ocntained in this one book. It just has such rich characters and a powerful story with soaring themes and it is astounding. It truly took my breath away the first time I read it.
