Olivia's Questions

1.  Is there a particular song that you would show to people if you were trying to explain yourself -- your personality, your heart, your aesthetic, your inner landscape -- in musical form?

Ooooh, first of all, I love this question!!! 

Second of all, thanks a lot Olivia, it only took me like 30 years to pick just ONE song XD.


2.  Do you like tattoos or no?

I am not a fan. There are some pretty ones out there, like the tiny, cute ones, but I'm not planning on getting one any time soon. 

3.  What is your favorite thing about your favorite holiday?


Well Christmas is definitely my favorite, and I absolutely LOVE the whole overall feeling and aesthetic of it all. The snow, the coziness, candlelight, the spicy smell of the tree, twinkle lights, prettily wrapped presents :)

4.  What non-story-related hobbies do you enjoy?

I really enjoy photography! Also dancing, singing, and taking long walks in the rain.

5.  Top three favorite TV shows?


Oooooooffffffff

I'm terrible at choosing favorites....

I guess, in no particular order, Downton Abbey, Road to Avonlea, aaaand Gilmore Girls? Yes, we'll just go with that just to spare my poor brain.  

6.  What is one thing that the world needs more of, in your eyes?  (Serious or trivial.)

Hats. We need more absolutely fabulous hats. 

(also more Mr. Knightley's. We could definitely use a few more of those)


7.  What is one thing that the world needs less of, in your eyes?  (Serious or trivial.)

Mr. Collins's?


8.  Do you need more cool air or more heat when you sleep?

I'm a cool air person. I hate waking up in the middle of the night because I'm too hot. 

9.  What scents do you tend to love in candles, perfumes, etc.?


I love anything natural, woodsy, rain, type scent.

10.  Top three favorite animals?

Dolphins, cuz cute. Dogs, cuz real cute.  And Hedgehogs, cuz STINKIN CUTEST THINGS ON THE PLANET

11.  Socks or no socks?


Socks, although I usually forget to put them on XD. But if I remember, I much prefer them. Cute socks especially, make me very happy :)


Katherine and Grace's Questions 

1. If you had to spend a year in any place in the world, where would it be?

Hmmm, do fictional worlds count? If they do, I'm going to go with Narnia :)

2. Who is someone you look up to in life?

My mom for sure. 

3. What is your favorite history fact/story?

I've always been super fascinated by Abigail Adams. There is no particular story about her, but I've always loved learning about her as a person.

4. What's a new interest that you've discovered? 

Pinterest-ing, maybe? I really love creating aesthetic boards for characters I love, as well as storyboarding, and just in general making my boards look pretty. It's very satisfying :)

If you'd like to take a peek...

5.What would you sing at Karoke Night?

Love is an Open Door. I think that would be a fun one to belt.

6. What historical event would you have liked to witness firsthand if you could have?

The end of World War 2.

7. Would you rather learn how to keep bees and harvest honey or learn the uses for all the different wild herbs, plants and trees? 

I'd rather deal with herbs, plants and trees. Dealing with bees would make me to nervous.

8. What are two of your pet peeves?


    1.) People who slurp their tea

    2.) When you're about to go do something, and then someone comes in and tells you to go do that thing. Suddenly there is no way I'm doing that thing.

9. Do you collect anything?

I collect small things that remind me of events, or days that I enjoyed. Things like ticket stubs, seashells, and flowers.

10. What motivates you to work hard?

I work the hardest for something if I'm really really excited and passionate about the end result. 

11. What movie quotes do you use on a regular basis?

Oh, sooooo many...

"What are you talking of? I MUST have my share in the conversation!!"

"What do you think I am, dumb or something?"

"Throw it in the wash, it'll be grand."

"Tell Carson to bring the tea."

"I am in....Vancouver."

"Oh how the turntables."

"Ohhh, NOW I understand."

And that is just a few of them... ;)
