havingbeenbreathedout's questions (which are so creative and amazing i literally had to answer them immediately):

Imagine you’re a character in a fairy tale, and were taught by a benign old crone to sew yourself, with great difficulty and tremendous labor, a magical piece of clothing (e.g. a protective cloak, invisibility armor, a lace shawl that would let you fly). “Clothing” can be interpreted however you like.

(seriously read these questions, i put them under a read more because i am so chatty! but. ohhh man they are really good!!)

Questions Asked:

1) What’s your favorite candle scent?  

Pine.  I like candles that smell like nature.

2) What’s the worst vacation you’ve ever been on?

When I was fourteen my family went camping.  Someone at the campsite had left stakes in the ground and while I was walking around barefoot I ripped my toe open. My mother said I should get stitches, but because we were on vacation, too bad for me.  So I didn't get to do anything except mend the fire since it hurt too bad to walk much and swimming would involve an open wound in lake water.  

Another one that was just as bad, but not necessarily a vacation, was going with the music department to Hershey Park in eighth grade.  We had an adjudication and then spent the day in the park. My mother came and made up that she got whiplash on a ride and insisted it was my fault. She had me run around the park looking for our doctor who was also a chaperon as his kids were also in the music program (and if you know anything about my past you can draw some conclusions about that).  Turns out that really nothing was wrong with her and she just wanted me to cry the whole day and feel terrible.

3) Are you now or have you ever been a vegetarian?

No.  Sometimes I eat vegetarian food, but it tastes good, so why not?

4) What’s your favorite episode of Sherlock?

It's hard to pick, but The Reichenbach Fall.  I know it's full of feelings, but I love seeing how much more human Sherlock has become and I absolutely love the opera references.  I also love anything that has Sherlock playing the violin.

5) Do you have siblings?

Yes.  I have one brother and three sisters.  They are all younger than I am.

6) If you could snap your fingers and change one thing about your life, what would you change?

I'd stop hating myself.  I don't often hate myself, but I learned to hate myself while growing up and I wish I could just stop feeling so down on myself at times.

7) What’s your “guilty pleasure” TV show?

I never feel guilty about TV.  I watch a small number of shows these days.  Most shows that people consider guilty pleasures are not even a little interesting to me.

8) What do you eat for breakfast?

Usually fruit or a larabar with tea.  I can't eat certain things in the morning because of the medications I have to take at that time and I also can't eat gluten so that really puts a kink in normal breakfast food options.  I also can't stomach eggs on their own so sometimes I really just have leftovers for breakfast if I want something more substantial.

9) If you could have any animal for a pet, what would you have?

Horse.  I've always wanted a horse since as long as I can remember.  I miss riding regularly as well.

10) How many languages do you know?

English and some Spanish.  I'm not as fluent in Spanish as I'd like to be.

11) What do you call carbonated beverages (soda, pop, etc)?

Soda.  Sometimes I call it tonic when I'm with my grandmother because they call it that where she lives.

My Questions:

1. If you could spend one week in any part of the world where would it be?

2. Coffee, tea or something else?

3. Do you celebrate when you reach a goal?  How do you celebrate?

4. What's one thing you wish you had learned in school but didn't?

5. What's one of the best gifts you've ever given?  What's one of the best gifts you've ever received?

6. Would you rather have a quiet evening in with a few close friends or a night out with a bunch of people (friends and/or acquaintances)?

7. What brought you to tumblr?

8. What is one book/show/movie that you wish more people knew about because you're absolutely certain they would love it?

9. Has your life every been changed by someone you don't know?

10. What's one thing that always cheers you up?
