   1)      Favorite little kid’s book (as in, kindergarten or younger)?
“Good Night Moon”. Mom read it to me so many times that I eventually memorized it all.

  
 2)      Favorite mid-elementary book?
The list goes on! I liked just about everything. I don’t know if this counts but my mom read “The Hiding Place” out loud as part of a unit study. It ended up being one of my favorites. I also loved The Kingdom Series and the Knights of Arrethrae by Chuck Black. He is still one of my favorite authors.

 I also enjoyed “The Door Within” trilogy series by Wayne Thomas Batson.

3)      Night owl or morning person?
A total night owl. I tend to come alive when it gets late. The latest I stayed up was 4:00 in the morning watching the “North and South” miniseries with some friends. It remains as one of my best memories!

4)      Do you like being that way (referencing the above question)?
I need to work on going to bed early because it gets hard on your body after a while. The more I stay up late the harder it is to get up and get my work done.

5) Plays or musicals?
 Both! I lean more towards classic musicals. My favorite musical is Phantom of the Opera. My second favorite is Les Miserables (I sing a song from this one every day. Seriously, it’s ridiculous.) I also like My Fair Lady. As for plays, I don’t think I have a favorite yet, but I do enjoy A Doll’s House and Romeo and Juliet. Really, I would rather go to a play or musical then the movie theater.

6) Favorite secular Christmas song and favorite Christian Christmas song?
I like “Peace on Earth” by Casting Crowns. I’m not too particular.

7) If you could choose what your dying words will be, what would you pick?
I don’t think I would say anything.  I would just die.

8) Which do you think is more important: justice or mercy?
 Mercy. (Unless you are Batman)

9) Why to the above?

I think that both of these go hand in hand. We should uphold justice to the best of our ability, but mercy should be the first thing we think about. Justice often comes with time. People write whole essays on this  type of question!

10) Book and/or movie that’s going to come out that you’re excited for?
The next season of BBC’s “Sherlock”.

11) If you could pick a fantasy weapon someone’s already invented (i.e., lightsabers, the Ring, Shardblades, etc.)
I have no idea. Maybe Frodo’s glowing sword?

12) Frodo or Sam?
 Sam. I have always said he is my favorite LOTR character. Even over Aragon, Arwen, and Gandalf.  I use him as a role model of a true friend for myself.

13) What do you like to snack on, or do you not snack at all?
I snack on just about anything that is available. Trail mix, a bagel, yogurt, or the couch..... Whatever I can get my hands on.

14) Three words that people often use to describe you?
According to my sister I am bossy, honest, and studious. Ever get the feeling your sibling thinks you are boring???

15) What did you want to be when you were little?
I wanted to be all kinds of things. A veterinarian, a figure skater, a wrangler, a professional mountain climber.

16) What question would you liked to be asked, and what is your answer? How about 
“Will you marry me?” from the perfect guy? If things were right, I would obviously say “yes”.

17) If you could go to lunch to meet a person from history, who would it be?
There are a lot of people that I would love to meet. Eleanor of Aquitaine, the geographer Ibn Battuta, Victor Hugo, Teddy Roosevelt, or any of the Bronte sisters (they wrote some of my favorite classic romances including Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte). I guess I would just have to choose! 

                Thank you Liddy for the nomination! I didn’t realize that I had been nominated till Hannah D. pointed it out before the home school ball. I definitely did not deserve to be nominated because I tend to be pretty lax with blogging during school semesters and I miss a lot! Anyway thanks for the nomination, it was fun answering the questions and hopefully next time I will be paying attention. Love ya all!
