Black & Gold by Sam Sparro

12: A song from your preteen years

RULES 1. always post the rules 2. answer the questions of the person who tagged you and write 11 new ones 3. tag 10 people and link them; let them know they are tagged

1. If you could trade lives with any fictional character who would it be and why? ~ Probably Pepper Potts because she is a CEO-she is smart, capable and loyal. She saves the day multiple times. She has an amazing, fit body and she is in a relationship with Tony Stark who is incredibly hot, a billionaire and a superhero.

2. If you got to have a theme song that was played every time you walked into a room, what song would you pick?~Pretty Peppy from The Artist soundtrack by Ludovic Bource

3. If you could trade lives with any real person who would it be and why?~I suppose Gwyneth Paltrow because she has a really lovely family, knows how to cook, loves to work out, has an incredible body, speaks French and Spanish, owns houses in London and NYC and The Hamptons…and the list goes on. Yes-I realize how unoriginal my responses are that the character and human I would trade lives with are kind of one in the same (of sorts).

4. Who do you think should be the most fascinating person of 2013? ~I’d go with Barbara Walters on this one and choose Hilary Clinton. Just for fun though I really think Laura Brown is fun, witty, smart and interesting too.

5. What was your first favorite movie?~ I was really obsessed with Moulin Rouge when it first came out

6. If you could receive a first edition copy of any book which would it be?~House of Mirth by Edith Wharton

7. What is the best gift you’ve ever given? ~Time with anyone is the best gift anyone could ever give me. I could be specific but that’s the general answer, I love gifts that involve just spending time with another person whether it’s a dinner, a trip, a concert, a play, or any other sort of shared activity.

8. What are the top 5 places you’d like to visit? ~Africa, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Bali

9. Is there any sort of lesson you did as a child that you regret quitting (i.e. piano lessons)?~ I wish I had worked harder at cello and Spanish as a child. I didn’t quit them as a child but I wish I hadn’t quit them in college.

10. What is something(s) from another era that you wish we still did today?~I like actual letters, much better than texts and emails (even though those things make life easier for me today- living away from my family).  I also miss family dinners and the idea of everyone eating together. **I’m also going to answer the inverse of this question and say something I wish DIDN’T exist today and that would be the internet. I feel like between my phone, laptop, tablet, work computer I am always on the internet and I feel like the internet has done more bad than good.

11. Is there someplace in your own city you’ve always wanted to go to but never have? What ? And why haven’t you gone? ~ There are probably lots of places I should check out I won’t give a specific list but I’d like to explore more restaurants and get involved with the food scene here.

 And now for my additional questions.....

1. If you could pick up and move anywhere tomorrow where would you go and what would you do there?

2. If you could just KNOW any language without having to learn it, what would it be?

3. What is your favorite character of all time and why?

4. If you could resurrect any TV show and have it continue, which show would you choose?

5. What are three things you’d change about yourself?

6.What are three things you’d never change about yourself?

7. What are your favorite dishes to cook? (or if you don’t cook- what are dishes you wish you knew how to cook yourself?)

8. How would you describe your IDEAL living space?

9. If you could attend any concert, past or present artists, what would be it?

10.  What talent do you most admire in others?

I carried around a stuff elephant when I was little. I sucked my thumb and rubbed its little arm so much that it's arm was just fabric without any stuffing. My Mom had to pry it away from me to wash it. I still have it around in a box somewhere.

I hate talking on the phone but I am forced to do it constantly for my job.

My favorite Starbucks drink is a Cinnamon Dolce Latte.

I've never seen The Wizard of Oz and I like to use that while playing Never Have I Ever. (I know I'm a horrible person, I'll watch it soon I promise)
