In Which I Tell You Alllllllll About Mine Self; Part 1

Hiiiiiiii!!! *waves frantically*

Sooo I'm finally here to do my post that answers all your questions!! I was so pleased with how many I you all asked, and you were all plenty creative which is just lovely!! Now for some of Miss Woodhouse's mysteriousness to be put aside!

Elanor asks...

What's a hobby you've picked up recently?
Hmm... Well I haven't picked up any hobbies really recently, but about a year ago I started swing dancing with my church group and I'm absolutely loving it!!  Does that count?

What was the last book you read?

The last book I read was Candle in the Darkness by Lynn Austin. oh. my. goodness. THIS BOOK WAS SO SO AMAZING!!!! There are no words to describe how much I loved this book. Just the plot, the characters, the descriptions, just GAHHHHH!!! There will be a review coming soon!! I am currently reading the second book in the series, Fire by Night, and am enjoying it just as much :D! 

Favorite place to visit?
Umm... the ocean maybe? I like to visit lot's of places...

Biggest surprise of your life?

Oohh oohh oohh!! *Raises hand and waves it in air* 

So for my tenth birthday my parents told me we were going on a surprise trip, and they gave me a few hints, two of which were "There is a snow covered mountain, and there are also Eskimos and penguins." Of course my little nine year old brain began to formulate a trip to Alaska or Antarctica, or maybe even the North Pole!! Turns out, we went to Disney Land! (the Matterhorn guys, that was the snow covered mountain. And the Eskimos and penguins are hiding within the depths of The Small World.)

What's your guilty pleasure dessert?
Well, I LOVE ice cream, but I kind of eat that as much as possible without bothering to feel guilty about it so I don't think that counts :P. Maybe brownies? I can start to feel guilty if I eat to many of those (and no peoples, I am not an eat-'round-the-clock-gluttonous-pig as I make myself out to be, I only eat these things about once a day, just so ya know... Is that chocolate?...)

MovieCritic asks...

What is your favorite book?

Well I REALLY REALLY LOVE the Anne of Green Gables series. It's just a happy, warm fuzzies type of series, and everybody loves to read those. But I don't know if those are my absolute favorites (not to mention that that's eight books, not one). If we are talking about stand alone books, I've always enjoyed Island of The Blue Dolphins, Witch of Blackbird Pond, and I just recently finished reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time, and that's definitely going on my favorites list. GUYS, THERE ARE JUST SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS OUT THERE, I CAN'T CHOOSE JUST ONE!!!!!

Ya know what I mean?

What is your favorite movie? (Okay, I don't know why I'm asking this, I already know the answer.) Scratch that, what is you favorite non Jane Austen movie? (Do I know this answer? Does it have something to do with this last post?)
Haha no MovieCritic, my favorite movie is not Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, even though I do love that movie. Sink me, again there are too many great movies out there for me to choose just one, so here's a few of my favorites...

~ The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982)
~ The Man From Snowy River (1982)
~ Letter's to Juliet (2008)
~ Little Dorrit (2008)
~ Anne of Green Gables 

Who is you favorite (non Jane Austen) hero (book or movie)?
I'd have to say probably Jim Craig from The Man From Snowy River. Jim is awesome guys. <3 <3 <3 He's knock-'em-dead handsome, a wonderful, caring, super sweet, adorable person. If you have not seen the movie and have no idea who I am talking about, then go watch it now, I command you!! 

Yeah guys, that's him. Now go! Go watch it!

What is your favorite Disney movie?

Well I've always had a soft spot for The Apple Dumplin' gang. That movie is just sweet, absolutely hilarious, family appropriate, has some amazing actors (YAY FOR DON KNOTTS!!!!!!) and is so much fun!! I would totally recommend that movie for anyone who likes light hearted, family comedies.

Who is your favorite actor?

Oh dear.... um.... ummmmm.....

My discombobulated thought process

I guess I don't have a particular favorite, but I do like J.J. Fields, Michael Mahonen, Jonathan Crombie, and Johnny Lee Miller (Are you starting to see a pattern? I do believe some time or other all of these men were in period dramas, my one weakness ;))

Who is your favorite actress?
(You have to have seen them in more than one movie)

Oh man I love so many!!! I'm going to go with...

Clair Foy

and Debbie Reynolds

Ruth Asks...

Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert?
Definitely an introvert, at least around people I don't know. My friends would tell you a different story XD. 

 Do you like to decorate your room with flowers and photos and paintings and drawings and posters, or would you prefer a clean wall and desk, with just the needed things on it(paper, pencils, pens)?
Well when I was younger I used to hang a few posters around my room, and ever since I was five my room has had flowers painted on the wall and a purple carpet, so earlier this year we re-did it in a much "older girl" style, and now we don't have anything on the walls except for a few pictures and the needed few things on the desk :P. And of course you always need a vase of flowers somewhere :)

What is your favorite flower?

Umm... I like Roses, Tulips, Zinnias, Chrysanthemums, Dahlias.... THERE'S TOOOOOO MANY!!! DON'T DO THIS TOO MEEEE!

What is your favorite series?

Most definitely Road to Avonlea. Just the music, the characters, GAAAHHH IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!! If you haven't seen it, you need to!!

What do you prefer: mystery-books or novels?

Novels. But I don't mind if a little bit of mystery is mixed into the novel. That's always exciting! 

Are you a planner or a do-things-whenever-you-want-person? 
I want to say both, but the truth actually is that I will always say to myself, "Self! You are going to plan ahead on this whole venture so that when the time comes nothing could possibly ever take you by surprise, and you will be the most well equipped, planned-ahead person that you know. You will be unstoppable!!" *shoots off confetti canon* 
Reality: I procrastinate my planning till the last possible second, then I panic and try to do all my planning in what little time I have left and fail epicly, resulting in the decision to just roll with the punches and to make sure to plan ahead next time. Cause I mean really, once I'v done something that didn't work, I won't do it again... right? 

Do you write or draw (if not, which would you like to do better)?

I draw and write actually! I think if I had to choose though, I would like to be able to write better. I'm not always happy with my writing skills.

Brittany B. asks...

If you can be in a movie, what would it be and why?

Well does it have to be a movie that's already been made, or one that I would like to see made? I'll just give an answer for both scenarios. If it was a movie that had already been made I think that it would be totally amazing to act in Emma (2009) (shocking, I know).  I absolutely love history and to act in a period drama would be a.ma.zing. Just the costumes and the old houses, and THE DANCING!! Yesh, yesh, Emma it is. 
As for something that I would like to see made, my sister and I are writing are novel together that we are both bound and determined to see made into a movie.  I know it will never happen, butohmygoodnessitwouldbeamazing!!!!

This is sorta what it's supposed to look like. It's a fantasy!

What character would you play in said movie?

In the first I would definitely want to be Emma. In the second I would be Clea Ashton (one of the main characters).

What type of books do you love to read?

Mainly historical fiction. And sometimes (I don't know what you would call them) survivalish... books, like My Side of the Mountain, and Island of the Blue Dolphins.


Favorite TV Shows?

Well let's see...
~The Andy Griffeth Show
~Road to Avonlea
~Larkrise to Candleford
And lot's of others but those are my absolute favorites :)

Who doesn't love Barney Fife!!

That's it for now!! I'll answer everyone else's questions in my Part Two post! Hope you all enjoyed learning a little bit about me!
