Questions for the next person

[Afterglow]

My grandmother. Simply because she helped raise me and gave me a lot of good advice and values

What is the last book you read that absolutely blew you away?

[tromana]

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.

Are you planning to see anything in the theatre soon? If so, what?

[spyglass]

Awesome choice of book, if I do say so myself

No distinct plans (I don't have tickets yet), but I'm going to see In the Heights and Promises, Promises (again) between now and December. And I think I may be taking my sister to see Wicked in November, if she ends up coming to see me.

If you could pick an author to write your life story, who would you pick?

[autumnftw]

Oh dear, that's a tough one. Not that my life is terribly interesting or anything...
Hm. I think, assuming said author does not have to be alive, I'll go with Jane Austen.

If someone made a movie of your life, who would you pick to play you?

[spyglass]

Austen would be in the running for me, too, so I think she counts

In terms of playing me, probably Ellen Page. I've actually had this discussion with a couple of my friends, and we're in agreement on this.


What would be the title track for the soundtrack of your life?

[PhoenixWytch]

Mad World by Tears for Fears

What is your greatest hope for the world?

[xokassandraxo]

That we can all co-exist in peace, with no war and that the color of a persons skin will not dictate how one perceives them, or how they live their lives.

If you could have one talent that you do not already posses what would it be and why?

[autumnftw]

Hm. The ability to dance, and do it well/gracefully/etc., because I'm horribly incapable and it seems like fun.

What is your favorite color?

[PhoenixWytch]

It depends on my mood, so at the moment it is pumpkin orange.

What is your favorite, or one of your favorite, food?

[xokassandraxo]

Either Greek food, or this amazing pasta salad that my grandma makes for Christmas and Thanksgiving.

If you could be the main character in any book what book would that be?

[autumnftw]

The Hunger Games trilogy!! Oh my gosh, that would be so awesome... #dreaming

If you had a baby right now, what would you name him/her? (Name for both genders, first and middle - if you already have a child, you can't use their name.)

[cattness]

Girl: Marion Robyn X (last name to be determined)
Boy: William Thatcher X
Hehe, I love Robin Hood, hence Marion & Robyn- because I'd be a cruel mother. Was thinking of Guinevere, but that would just be evil. Everyone would be asking her where Lancelot was. And naming the boy after A Knight's Tale...

If you were the opposite gender of what you are, what would you have been named?

[xokassandraxo]

I believe it would have been Nathan....


If you could live in any city what one would it be and why?

[autumnftw]

Hm, I'm sure this answer could change within the next, like, 10 minutes. However, I'm gonna say Shippensburg, PA. I freaking love Pennsylvania, and one of my closest friends whom I never get to see lives there.

If you were the leader of your country for a day, what five rules would you change/put into place?

[xokassandraxo]

Ummm....
1) More money going towards the homeless
2) Better care for the elderly
3) More social programs
4) Better snow removal policies put in place!
5) Equal opportunities among youth for schooling

God that was a hard question to answer!

If you won $10 million how much of it would you give to charity and what would you do with the rest?

[autumnftw]

I'm gonna have to flip that around in order to figure it out.
First and foremost, I would tithe.
I would use however much money was necessary to first bail my family out of our current financial rut and then pay for the rest of the building fund for our new church.
I would then put an additional ten percent aside as savings.
I would go shopping, but definitely wouldn't even spend close to probably 10,000 dollars. Surely, I could restrain myself that much.
I would donate half of what I had left after that to various charities, and put the rest to good use elsewhere/future expenses.
Phew!

If you were forced into Witness Protection and had to change your name to something else, what would you pick? (first, middle, and last name)

[cattness]

Ariadne Marie Montgomery.
Ariadne because I love Greek myths (hey, I'm a Classicist!). Always have loved Marie as a middle name. Montgomery, I have no idea. Maybe Anne of Green Gables has influenced me too much.

If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

[xokassandraxo]

Easy! A horse, because they are just so free and they just seem to not a have a care in the world.

If you could build your dream house what would it look like? Inside and out, like colors, styles ect.

[cattness]

Probably a bungalow with a decent-sized yard, my room would be a forest green with red accents and wood furniture (exactly how it is now . An open living room with comfy couches in a light colour, but a bright colour on the walls (maybe sky blue). Dining room would have a nice wood table and chairs, the walls would be red. Guest room would be bland, a beige colour. Kitchen would be black and white tiling with white/steel appliances. Bathroom will have tiles that look like they have water drops on them. Downstairs will be the TV/book room. Probably a burgundy colour, with beige couches and walls of books/DVDs.

If you could study anything in the world and it was magically offered in university, what would it be?

[xokassandraxo]

Well my dream is journalism and photography, so I could go anywhere in th world and study it.

If you could spend a year anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
