Meghan's Questions:

1. How ya doin’, today?

Pretty good, pretty good. Got some nice presents, ate some good food, had a couple glasses of good wine and I'm going to a movie soon. So, you know. Yay Christmas!

2. What book are you currently reading?

I am so behind on pleasure reading. I'm about to start The Princess Bride I think, because I got it over the summer and haven't had the time to read till now. 

3. What is the best present you got this year?

Probably the certificate for a massage my mom got me. Super excited about that. 

4. Pirates or ninjas?

I've never had a very definitive answer for this, but today I'm feeling ninjas. 

5. What is your favorite historical time period?

Eh I don't really have one at the moment. I was just researching a bunch of Roman stuff around 100 BCE and that was interesting. 

6. What’s your favorite movie?

THIS IS AN IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION, I HAVE NO IDEA. I just watched How to Train Your Dragon for the eighty millionth time yesterday, so let's go with that. 

7. How do you feel about musicals?

Fuckin' love me some musicals. 

8. What’s your reaction to snow? Excited? Hateful?

I LOVE SNOW. It makes everything seem magical and soft and quiet (provided I'm not driving long distances through it and it's relatively close to Christmas. February can fuck off). I'm soooo happy it snowed for Christmas after our freakish heat wave this weekend. 

9. If you were a flavor of ice cream, what would you be?

Probs coffee or mocha or something like that. 

10. What is your dream destination?

At this point in life, back to England. 

11. Why?

I'm feeling major homesickness for the UK even though I was only in England for like five weeks. I WANT TO GO BAAAACK. Plus Larn just got back from Ireland and all her stories are making me nostalgic.
