.......

 Your favourite movie and why?

My favorite movie...oh god, um....??!?!?!

I have a lot of favorite movies; Amélie, Religulous, Black Swan, The Illusionist, Dante's Peak, anything HP (except for the last movie, that one sucked), LOTR, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, the Planet Earth series...I like a lot of stuff.

.....

 If you had to do one job for the rest of your life, regardless whether you’re qualified or not, what would it be?

Hmm, that's tricky. I really love my current job a lot- I work in a bakery where I make bread and cakes and donuts and other delicious stuff. I really want to be a biochemist, though- that's what I'm going to school for. I'd also be a writer, a dancer, a singer, a musician, a doctor, or, of course, the President of the United States (someone has to get this country's shit together).

......

 Is there a piece of clothing you’d like to own, but can’t for some reason?

Not really. I'd like to own a lot of cool Victorian stuff- corsets have always been pretty cool to me. I'd love to own really sharply, well tailored suits just because they are always so damn attractive. Also, because I wear glasses that turn dark in sunlight, I've never owned a really nice, hot pair of sunglasses. They'd have to be prescription because I don't wear contacts, and I don't have the money to buy them.

........

 Is there something you always wanted to be asked? What would the answer be?

Not many people value my opinion, so when someone does ask me about what I think I'm always really pleased. Usually I share my opinion regardless of someone asking for it, but it's nice to know that people still care. 

No one has asked me if I want a million dollars, either. 

........

 Do you know how to dance?

Hell no. The last time I danced, I was waltzing at a wedding. I wouldn't even call it waltzing- it was more like drunken spinning because my Uncle had a bit too much to drink.

.......

 A book you’re currently reading or finished last. What do you like about it, what could/should be changed?

I just finished god is not great, by Christopher Hitchens. He is absolutely brilliant and I loved his book. I'm now reading A Brief History of Time, by Stephen Hawking. It's really, REALLY interesting, but the only thing I'd change is some of the jargon. I've been reading his book with a dictionary next to me because he's using a lot of scientific words. I like that I don't know what they are (books are for learning, after all), but it's getting kind of bothersome.

.........

What was the most embarrassing moment you have experienced or witnessed?

Don't laugh at me. I'll know if you do. I'll hunt you down and find you and then I'll smack up upside the head for laughing, alright? Ready?

When I was just a kid I had my head hanging out the window of my Dad's car because it was really hot in there and I liked the fresh air on my face. He didn't notice that I was doing that and tried to put up the automatic windows. I couldn't get my head out in time and so I was stuck hanging out of the window for about three minutes, trying to breathe, until my sister stopped laughing and pointed out to my Dad that I was trapped. 

Also, I was at a friend's house one time and I was really hungry. The meal options were hot-dogs or pulled pork sandwiches. As a vegetarian, I found both disgusting but decided to just eat a few hotdogs before I passed out from a low blood sugar. Turns out, my stomach wasn't having any of it and I puked all over my best friend's backyard porch with her family and all of my other friends there. 

As you can tell, I'm an awkward kid. 

.......

 What is your favourite form of art?

Music. I love music so much it hurts. Drawings and singing and every other type of medium are all great and they're all beautiful, but music takes first prize for me. 

...........

 How did you meet/get to know one (anyone) of your friends?

My job has helped a lot with that- I meet and talk with new coworkers and customers all the time. Going to college will also introduce me to a lot of new people. With all that aside, I don't really go out much. Tumblr is a beautiful, beautiful thing and I've met a lot of really nice people here.

.......

 If you could make erase the end of one of your friend-/relationships from everybody’s minds, would you?

No, I don't think so. I've had a few very bad cut-offs from friends and a few falling-out's, but it is what it is. People move on and see new people and then move on again. 

I'm not one for dating, so I've never broken up with anyone before. 

.....

What was the best movie you saw this last year and why?

Hmmm.... that's a bit difficult, I watch so many movies. I think I have to go with Moulin Rouge! I love musicals, and it is the perfect movie-musical for me. The cinematography, the music, the impeccable acting; I cry every single time and I've watched it four times. The pure spectrum of emotions portrayed is just incredible and everything is so beautiful and wrenching.

Has a television show ever moved you to tears? If yes, which one and when?

Lost, Misfits, Doctor Who and Torchwood. (Glee maybe once when Kurt's dad was in a coma and he was singing, but only then. I don't watch it regularly). I cried in Lost when just about every character died over the course of the seasons. I sobbed in Misfits when both Simon and Alisha met their ends and when Nathan died for the first time. I've become dehydrated while watching Doomsday and the End of Time, but have also cried during numerous other Doctor Who moments. And I bawled in Torchwood when Gwen thought Rhys had died and during the episodes "Captain Jack Harkness" and "Cyberwoman".

Has reading a book ever changed your life? Which one and why, if yes?

Harry Potter, The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. There have been many, many others, but those are the most prominent. Reading is one of my greatest passions. Nothing will ever replace it. 

What’s your favorite foreplay activity?

I haven't had sex yet, so that's all up in the air, but I'm a really touchy person at heart, and I adore cuddling. 

Do you like to sing karaoke?

I love it actually. I usually go to Florida every April break and stay at the same place each time; there's this little place called the White Elephant Pub down the street and I've sung there a couple of times. It's good fun.

What was your favorite game to play as a child?

*smile* When I was little, my younger brother and I would go out in our front yard (it's a really big, lush front yard; trees and plants and flowers and stuff everywhere). We'd each have a big long stick or two, and pretend they were our swords, and then we'd "duel" each other and pretend to be pirates or wizards off on adventures. I really enjoyed that.

When you were growing up what did you want to become in life?

When I was younger, I wanted to be a professional singer, but now, even though singing is still one of my greatest joys, I don't want it to be a job. I don't want to work at it because I'm happy with my ability as it is. But when I was about the same age, I got it into my head that I want to write books, and that urge has never dissipated. 

Describe yourself in a single sentence?

My imagination and my soul is the universe; full of tears and laughter and emotion, open to all things. 

What would you like to change about the world?

I don't really know yet... I suppose I just want to make it a more beautiful and caring place. I wish people could appreciate little things more. 

If you could travel back in time and meet yourself as a 10 year old kid what advice would you want to give him/her?

Never give up on yourself or others. Don't be afraid to love, no matter how much it may seem to hurt. Don't forget how much you are loved. 

If you were to be reborn who would you want to be born as?

Another difficult one.... very nice question. I have a theory that I can be reborn as people who have already lived (it's a bit complicated, I'm not even certain on all the details), so I have this big list, but I think I might want to start with John Keats or Fanny Brice.
