1, 4-7, 10, 14, 18, 21, 26, 31, 32, 36-40, 44, 46, and 49 from the 50 Questions ask, if you please?
oh my goodness thank you so much for the questions!! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to answer <3
1. What are three shows in your watchlist that you’ve been meaning to get to?
Monk, Northern Exposure, and House M.D. have all been on my list for a long time! I really don't watch that much TV on my own, so it takes me forever to get through an entire show.
4. What do you wear when you have to dress nicely?
it depends on the event, but I generally either wear a casual dress with flat shoes, or a nice blouse with jeans or slacks and sneakers. I'm not much of a dressing up person, but I enjoy it sometimes!
5. How do you like your eggs?
usually hard-fried or scrambled!
6. What do you use to keep your place when you’re reading a book?
I have several bookmarks (a big one, a medium one, a small one, and a fancy one), so I generally use one of those. if I forget to bring a bookmark, I can usually just remember where I left off.
7. What color dominates your closet?
10. What’s your favorite kind of UQuiz question? (lyric, color, aesthetic, etc.)
probably questions that give me photos to choose between! I often get stuck when the answers are all nuanced and tricky :D
14. What are some places where you feel most at home?
I feel very at home when I'm at home (haha), at my church, or at my aunt's house! the library has also become a second home.
18. What’s one historical event that you would have liked to have witnessed?
these might seem a little weird, but (1) Remy Van Lierde's sighting of a 50-foot snake in Africa, (2) an original production of a Shakespeare play performed at the Globe Theater, (3) the painting of the Sistine Chapel, or (4) the printing of the first Bible on the printing press. lots more, but many are tragic and I'd rather see something beautiful or interesting!
21. What’s your favorite period in art history, your favorite famous work, and/or your favorite style of art?
I'm partial to the works of Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet, but I'm also a huge fan of John Williams Waterhouse!
26. Can you cook or bake? If so, what are some of your specialties?
I can! my favorites are chili, stuffed mushrooms filled with spinach-artichoke dip, banana muffins, and pumpkin muffins.
31. What’s the last music video you watched?
I truly have no idea; I used to watch music videos all the time, but I rarely do anymore. possibly "Sail Those Same Oceans" by 30 Odd Foot of Grunts & Russell Crowe? (for obvious reasons)
32. If you could dye your hair any color, regardless of how you think it would look, what color would you choose?
for a more natural look, I'd go with a darker shade of brown (like Sandra Bullock) or a reddish-auburn (like Natasha Romanoff). for a more daring look, maybe purple!
36. What’s an arcade or table game (air hockey, ping-pong, etc.) that you’re really good at?
I'm probably best at air hockey, but to be honest I'm not great at any of them :D I'm good at board and card games though! I recently discovered Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, and I'm a champ at that one.
37. Do you mind if others are in the kitchen when you’re cooking or baking?
my kitchen is very small, so I'm not a big fan of it if they are also moving around and cooking. I don't mind having someone sit at the table while I cook though!
38. What’s one show you watch or musician you listen to that your friends know nothing about?
I am the sole Once Upon a Time fan in my family, unfortunately. Twin Peaks was my big secret show for awhile, but my sister and I are watching it now. I don't really have much secret music; when my family and friends are in the car, I just play whatever is on my playlist.
39. What was the best part of your day today?
I get to go to the library after work today! and I get to make some spinach-artichoke dip to go with dinner tonight.
40. What’s your favorite kind of tree?
I love cherry blossom trees, apple trees, and weeping willows!
44. What do you do with spare change?
I have a jar of spare change on my bookshelf in my room, and I usually dump it in there! my local library sells books for $0.25 apiece (or $1 for a bag of books), so I always keep four quarters in my wallet in case I find something I like.
46. What’s the last thing a friend recommended to you that you looked into and actually liked?
probably the reselling website Vinted! I'm always hesitant to try new apps and selling platforms, but it's been a great way to sell some of my old stuff and find some great things at insanely low prices.
49. What’s your favorite thing to do when it’s raining?
either take a nap or curl up with a good book and some hot tea!
