The Questions

1. What is your earliest memory of reading, or being read to?

I really don't know, my Mom (being a psychologist on child development) probably read to me before I was even born! I do remember reading chapter books (the Magic Tree House series) as young as six years old.

2. Why did you choose to start a blog?

Well honestly because you did Abby! I wanted to see what it was like (since you raved about it so much) So here i am today.

3. Since this is the Infinity Dreams Tag, what is your biggest dream, no matter how out there it may seem?

I want to publish a bestseller (crazy right?)

4. Favorite subject in school? (If you are still in school. If not, what WAS your favorite subject?) 

Art is pretty close, but I will actually have to go with history

5. Where would you live in the world, if you could live anywhere?

Somewhere warm (as you must know by now, that's my only requirement), but I probably won't pick a country overrun by terrorists or lead by some dictator with nukes.

6. How would you describe your personal style?

Did you help write the literacy test questions this year? 'Cause that was one of them. I don't really know, chic I guess? If its cute I'll wear it. (unless it's bright yellow, no yellow)

7. Who has inspired you? It can be anyone, past, present, fictional, or no. 

Well I don't really know, I have probably been shaped by many people in my life, but the person I continually look up to the most is my dad, he's the best father a girl could ask for.

8. Do you prefer open plains, and sparkling beaches, or rugged mountains and wild forests?

I've only lived on the plains, and while vast and beautiful its full of nothing (well except grass. I'd have to live in the other settings before deciding on my preference.

9. If you could meet one celebrity, who would you choose?

Just one? Well I guess we all know the answer. Johnny Depp.

10. Favorite Disney princess? (Or Disney character if you don't prefer princesses.) 

My favorite Disney princess is either Rapunzel or Mulan. Rapunzel has such gorgeous hair! (I love the advanced animation so much!) And Mulan, well Mulan is noble, brave and just awesome!

11. Favorite quote? 

Favorite quotes are like favorite books, movies and songs, it changes a lot. Though Winston Churchill, Alexander G. Bell and C.S. Lewis have the best quotes for sure.

The New (extremely random) Questions: 

1. If you could have a talent for something, what would you pick?
2. If you were given the chance to be a great a subject you're not, but you had to trade in a subject you are good at what would you give up to become better at ______? Or would you not want to take the chance?
3. How would you feel about wearing the clothes you have on now, for the rest of your life? What are you wearing?
4. If you had to choose between only reading books or only watching movies for the rest of your life, which would you pick?
5. What is your favorite nail polish color?

Tagged again!.

And I love it! (Tags are so much fun) This time I was tagged by Clara at Reasons to Smile, thank you Clara! (well its kind of another nomination, though I'm not sure what the difference is:) Anywho I've been nominated/tagged for the:

Rules:

Thank and link to the blogger/s who nominated you

Answer the 11 questions

Nominate/tag 11 bloggers and ask them 11 questions

Lets get right into it then!

"If you could ask your future self one question, what would it be?"

Hmm this one is hard. I guess... I'dd ask my future self if there is something I did/will do (or something I didn't do) that she (my future self) regrets, so that I can change it by doing or not doing it. (I hope that doesn't sound too confusing... but it probably does:)

"What is your middle name?"

Kyra, (like Kira) It's Greek and means "Enthroned"

"What shoe size are you?"

Gosh these really are random! Nine and a half if you must know:)

"What would your hero name be?"

Blanditia Obduro (those are Latin words by the way)

"Do you like Nutella on toast?"

I eat it everyday! (every single day...)

"What is your favorite foreign accent"

I can't really decide between spanish and scottish...

"Describe this scene in 3-8 words"

words fail me (does that count? I really haven't the foggiest idea of what I would call this, they could look sad but not really, maybe its been a hard day but the older girl looks hopeful the other one I really haven't a clue)

"Have you ever take a train?"

Yes 2 or 3 times, and the subway as well. I once got a short ride on one of those really old fashioned trains, the conductor came in and punched the first letter of our name into the ticket,  kind of like in the "Polar Express" I haven't seen that movie in ages...

"If you had to sing solo at a concert, which song would you choose to sing?"

Sing? Solo?! In front of people?!! Me?!!!!! Not happening. But if it did I would probably choose something like "My Jolly Sailor Bold" something that doesn't really have any high notes.

"How do you do your hair on a busy morning?"

Five strokes with a hairbrush and a headband... actually I do that everyday...

"If you could automatically obtain a skill, what would it be?"

Hmmm I think it should be something interesting, something rare...  I think I would love the uncanny ability to sense danger (would be helpful) not that I come across too many dangers... but I'm sure the need will arise at some point in my life.

Abby at Castles in the Air has nominated me for "Sisterhood of the world bloggers award", Thank you for your nomination Abby:)

Here are the rules:

-Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you linking back to their blog(s)            
-Put the award logo on your blog

Let's get started!

What is your favorite type of weather... rain, sun, snow, ect.
A warm sunny (but not blazing) brilliant blue-skyed, slightest hint of breeze (not windy) kind of day, maybe just a cloud here and there...and the birds singing.

If you could be transported back in time, or to the future, which would you choose?
I don't mean to sound like an old sap, but just the other day I was thinking about how bad everything has gotten in recent years (meaning evil) just about every tv show (and movie) features all kinds of evil things that are now considered "Normal" homosexuality, divorce, fornification, all of that. And I do sometimes wish I lived in a simpler time... So I would definitely go back in time (not too far, just the 30s or something. Though I do love pioneer times... and besides... What terrible things may I find in the future? (book reference)

Do you like the smell of old books?
Do I LIKE the smell of old books? No. I LOVE IT!!! I live and breathe books, they are everywhere (literally everywhere you can't step or sit down on a clear space) Well that's my house anyways...

What does music mean to you?
Hmmm... what does it mean to me. Well I don't think I could live without it. There is constantly a tune in my head, I almost never do stuff like blogging or something else on my computer without opening another window somewhere with music on it. So I guess to me its one of life's essentials, just like food or sleep.

Favorite Narnia character? (so far)
Well as you know it used to be Edmund, but funny thing I do believe it's ole Puddleglum now (big surprise huh?)

Favorite Fashion time period? (Regency, Victorian ect)
Taking comfort considerations out of this, I guess I always come back to Victorian fashion, they just had so many lovely dresses... the hairstyles were nice too...

Which do you enjoy better, reading or writing?
Jimminy why must you make it so darn hard? (I shall evade direct confrontation, Huh!) It will depend on the day (maybe even the hour) right now I say reading (though I am writing not reading right now aren't I?) well saturday It was reading, Sunday was writing today I am rambling... I can't do it!!! I throw this evil question back at you, which do you enjoy more Abby? (villainous-grin-because-I-bet-you-will-struggle-too)

If you had the opportunity to go to Narnia, would you take it ?
What kind of question is that?!! If I offered you a million dollars would you say "No thanks"? If someone said "make a wish, any wish, it will be granted" would you decline? If... I think I make myself clear... (I can be such a rambler) believe me I had to edit this answer to assure your ears don't fall of.

If you could be on a movie production team, what position would you choose? (Actors are not allowed)
How about actresses? (just kidding) Well this is a quandary... I just took Careers in school and two positions I actually have in my "consideration box" are costume designer or stage/set designer, I am leaning towards the latter...

How would you define your personality?
This question was unexpected. Hmmm, as you can tell from my blog I do like sarcasm (nothing mean you understand) joking, babbling, some romance, creative stuff... I'll try to sum it up (Take a big breath) here goes! "A-sarcastic-funny (I hope) -quiet-but-observant-passionate-loyal-mostly-reliable (I do lose everything!) -creative-romantic-at-heart. (Don't ponder the last line, at heart means you won't be hearing too much of it:) By losing everything I mean items by the way, not "the loser" type of person...
                                                                                          

I nominate Clara at Reasons to Smile, and anyone else who has not been nominated yet:)
