Answers Part 1

{There are no fun graphics to go with this post. I didn't feel like it. I hope you'll read anyway.}

You should be aware that as a born rambler it is almost impossible for me to give a straightforward, concise answer. I’d apologize, but this is my blog so I say it’s ok. I did, however, wisely split the answers into 2 different posts so that they seem less intimidating.

What is your situation in the relationship department? –Alexa Mae

Single, not by choice. I don’t know if it’s the scales that cover my entire body or my intolerable personality but for whatever reason guys don’t ask me out. Ever.

Which is your favorite book/author? –Johanna
Picking a favorite book is difficult because I love them so dearly. Plus, I feel there are categories—my favorite book from childhood, my favorite book that got me through a tough year, my favorite classic, etc. But to give you a simple answer, I’d say one of my all time favorites is “A Swiftly Tilting Planet” by Madeleine L’Engle. The series that has meant the most to me as a whole, though, is “Harry Potter” and my favorite of those is “Prisoner of Azkaban”, hands down.

If you could guarantee any ONE thing about your future, what would you like it to be and why? – Annie Cristina

Call me an idealist but I’m going to say that I would want to guarantee that my life would always have love in it. I’m not even talking about a husband (although that would be nice), I’m saying that I’d always have either friends or family in my life. I know you can’t survive off of love alone but I also know what it feels like to be alone and feel unloved and I think that as long as I have the love of family and friends in my life I will make it through.

WHY ARE YOU SO BEAUTIFUL?? –Allison

Allison, you must’ve gotten confused and been looking in the mirror when you asked this question.

Where are you from? -Sam
This is a more complicated answer than you’d expect. I was born in Florida, had a brief stint in diapers in Nashville, then went on to spend my childhood in Pennsylvania before moving to Colorado for my adolescence and now I shuffle back and forth between there and Tennessee where I go to school (and am currently sitting and typing this).

What are you graduating in, in college? -Sam

I’m pursuing a double major in Charms and Transfiguration at Hogwarts.

But my cover story is that I’m an English Major with a concentration in Creative Writing.

What do you plan to do with your degree? -Sam
Good question, any ideas?

I have none, so while I try to figure it out I plan to teach English in Spain for a year and hopefully return to the States with another adventure under my belt and a clearer idea of what I want to do with my life.

Why do you like Peeta so much?-Sam
Because I love hot Pita bread. And hot Peeta bakes bread. Make sense?

I could give you a real explanation but, as I think anyone who has read the books can testify, his incredibleness is inexplicable.

Where is your favorite place to be? –Kellie
For studying: this eclectic Café right by my school with the best Greek lemon soup and delicious coffee.
At home: I really like being in my room…it feels comfortable and safe and reminds me of myself at every stage of life.
Idealistically: Salzburg
In the world: wherever my family is.

What is your favorite book? -Kellie
I’m going to cheat and use this repeat of a question to give more answers.
Favorite Jane Austen: Emma
Favorite Book to Re-Read and think about: The Giver
Favorite Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban
Favorite foreign language book: Love in the Time of Cholera
Favorite of the Moment: The Hunger Games

Come back shortly for Part 2. You know you want to.
