1: Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
It definitely depends on who I'm around. In general I'm an introvert, but there are some times when I'm a complete extrovert. Like at camp. However, I find comfort like an introvert for sure. I'm better with smaller crowds and recoup by being on my own.
2:At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?
I've never really thought about it. I feel like I don't use them a ton. I'll usually just use whichever isn't occupied. I've certainly brought my own snacks though.
3:If you knew today was your last day on Earth, how would you spend it?
First I'd load up on caffeine so I would be able to use the entire day. I'd spend time with people I love and try new things. I would also make sure to take at least 5 minutes to be on my own and reflect on... well I guess everything. I'd make sure that everything I own would be put to good use after I was gone. Then I'd just try to lives as fully as possible.
4: If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?
Pizza with black olives. Homemade pirohi. Mushroom turnovers. A quart container of sweet tea from a Chinese food place.
5: What is your favourite salty snack?
Tostitos or Pumpkin Seeds. Pretzels are up there too.
6: If you could live in any other country for 2 years where would you go?
Ahh I have no idea! I would probably want to live in different countries. I've only ever been to Canada outside of the US hah. I think it would be either Australia or somewhere in the UK. Maybe the UK because then I would be able to visit other countries in Europe during those two years. But being on the other side of the equator would be pretty cool as well...
7: Have you ever been mentioned in the newspaper?
Yep! My name was listed for All-State Chorus during senior year of high school. When I was younger, the Star-Ledger did a story about my family's work with the American Cancer Society and Make-A-Wish and about my brother being a leukemia survivor. There was a picture and an article. Also, when we were in Central City one time, my sister and I were stopped on the street and asked some questions (I can't even recall what they were) and we were in the Tribune-Democrat the next day.
8: What vegetable do you hate?
Cooked carrots. Raw, I'm totally fine with them. Cooked I think they're super gross.
9: What is the saddest movie?
My Girl and Finding. Are my guarantee cry movies.
10: What food makes you think of Christmas?
Strict fast pirohi, cookies, spanikopita, mushroom turnovers, pagach.
11: What is your favourite song from a Disney Movie?
...I just love so many of them. I love to belt out "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid. And I love The Lion King, so most of those. I really can't pick a favorite though. There are just too many that I love.
pedestrian-palamite's questions:
Tell at least one story from your childhood that you enjoy sharing.
So in my kitchen we have a cabinet that's on the side of where all the other cabinets are. It's not quite a full cabinet, so now we store lunchbags and such in there, but when I was little, there wasn't anything in that cabinet. So it became my hiding place. I would take a flashlight and a book and climb inside the cabinet and read. Sometimes with the door open, sometimes not. Well one time, I was reading in my cabinet and fell asleep. Apparently no one knew I was in the cabinet and they thought I was missing for awhile, until someone checked and found me asleep.
Who is your favorite character from a book?
I have a strange attachment to Fred Weasely from the Harry Potter series.
Who is your favorite author (or poet, or writer in any medium)?
In all honesty, it changes a lot. I can't pick one favorite. I'm currently a big fan of John Green though.
Who is your favorite character from a TV show or movie (or both)?
I love Sheldon on Big Bang Theory and Liz Lemon on 30 Rock (I've only just started the series, but I love her character. Then again, I love and idolize Tina Fey). Rory from Gilmore Girls.
What is/was your favorite childhood daydream?
I still daydream quite a bit, but when I was younger, I used to just daydream about being able to sing and read as much as I wanted. I think it's still quite the same.
Who is/was your personal hero/heroine, or someone you admire?
Tina Fey. Amy Poehler. I just think they're both strong, confident, funny women who don't take crap from anyone. My mom is on this list as well. For mostly the same reasons.
What are your personal ideals that you strive to emulate?
Above all, kindness. I try to be kind to others. I know that I have a quick tongue and sometimes say things that I later regret, but I always try to be genuinely sorry for things I say that may hurt others. I'm not perfect. Far from it. But I try to practice patience and try to give others a chance.
What style of writing do you prefer, if any?
I'm really not picky. I think a journal format for a book is pretty neat though.
Do you watch anime, or read manga? Â If so, which ones?
How much do you actually pay attention to astrology and/or other popular superstitions?
I'm guilty of reading my horoscope every once in awhile. I don't put too much stock into it, but every once in awhile there's something about my sign that really hits home. I don't tend to be all that superstitious either, but I can be when I'm in the theatre. I do have some compulsive tendencies, but I don't think that's so much of superstition as it is me being a little odd.
What is the Ultimate Question regarding Life, the Universe, and Everything?
I think it's reflective and something along the lines of "What have you done to make the life, universe, and all that jazz better for someone else?"
