Answers Part 2

Here are the rest of the answers! Because I know you have all been waiting in breathless anticipation. Mhm.

Favorite thing about yourself? -Tina
My belief in change and renewal. I fail often in my attitude and in my endeavors but I always pick myself up (after some ranting/crying) and pray on it and decide to try again. I have faith in the future and my ability to keep trying.

Least favorite thing about yourself?-Tina
Speaking before I think, getting caught up in angry/sad emotions and acting on them, and not always being proactive when I should be.

Favorite recipe? -Tina
Honeyed Yogurt Cuppies, for sure.

Predictions for your future? -Tina
I will have dogs. I love dogs. I will read many more great books, meet many more people who will change my life and I will always need my family. I won’t let the things I want to happen but don’t defeat me. Nothing in life—marriage, kids, a house—is certain so I’ll figure out how to love whatever life I’m living.

To be more tangible (which I think is what you want) I will finally read Sense & Sensibility, the only Austen book I haven't read, and I will keep up with my Physical Therapy.

Which Harry Potter house do you honestly think you'd be sorted into? Be honest. -Tina

Oh don’t worry, I wouldn’t try to pretend I’d be a Gryffindor or something. I’d be a Hufflepuff, I’m 99% sure.

Favorite U.S. President? -Tina
I seriously don’t have one. Sorry. I could say somebody cliché like Lincoln or Kennedy but the truth is I’m not much for politics.

Dream role in a play/musical?-Tina
The little girl in me wants to say Eponine because Les Miserables was the first musical I ever fell in love with. I knew the soundtrack and the characters’ stories by heart because my family would listen to the CD often…and then I got to see it in London, New Year’s Eve 1998. I always liked Eponine way more than Cosette.

But let's face it, Elphaba would be an amazing part as well.

Fav Starbucks drink? -Vanessa
Pumpkin Spice Latte

Do you collect anything? -Vanessa
Nope, I’m not that interesting. I am a pack rat, though. I have trouble throwing “memories” away so I have way too many scraps of paper or napkins or pens that are supposed to remind me of something. I’m a sucker for nostalgia.

Favorite Vacation ever taken?-Vanessa
This is a tough call so I’m going to divide it between family and friends…
With family:
England (Bath, York, & London mainly) in the Winter of 1998
With friends:
Venice for the general group fun, Switzerland (Berne and Grindelwald) for the adventures

Best thing about blogging?-Vanessa
Making friends, absolutely. Also, writing & sharing whatever I want to based on my own whim and no one else’s. I’m trying to keep myself to a strict honesty policy here and not say or do anything with anyone else in mind. I am so easily (and unknowingly) influenced by others in my daily life and so I’m trying to be 100% me here.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? -Thome
Depends, is it a North American or Canadian wood chuck?

And also have you seen my keys? I know I left them around here somewhere. -Thome

Check behind my followers box, I think I saw them there.


What is your major? -Sara-Jane
I am an English Major with an emphasis in Creative Writing.

You've got a dinner party going on and you can invite ten people, dead or alive...who are they? -Sara-Jane

Jesus could bring the wine, J.K. Rowling could bring a better version of the Deathly Hallows epilogue, any party is better with my Sister, Nie Nie (even though I’d be dumb-struck in awe over her), I’d love to talk with my Grandpa who I never really got to know, Luna Lovegood would bring some undeniably awesome conversation to the table, I'd love for Regina Spektor to come (and do some singing, of course), I'd love to see my friend Justine again so she's getting a hypothetical invite, and my husband (so I can find out who he is!)

{Yeah, I totally threw in some fictional characters. It happens.}

I mean…would they all get along or have something to talk about? No, probably not, but it would be a “The Bachelor” style party where I’d take them aside one by one to talk. Really, it’s all about me, you see? (Kidding!)

What is something that you would like to do that you have never done before... before you would leave this earth? -Mart and Lu
Fall in love. And since I’m asking for hypothetical death bed wishes, I’d like him to love me back.

And finally, last but not least...

When are you coming to Boston?-Malia
So I know this probably wasn't intended as a real question but I'm an answering machine right now! I actually dream of living in Boston so let's hope I can get there ASAP, at least on vacation. But only if you'll show me around when I come, ok? :)
