I love this idea! Know Me Better is hosted by I am a Reader Not a Writer. Each week she picks 5 questions to answer. Anyone can participate and she has a place to link up on her page! OOH yeah!

 

1. What is your favorite flavor of jelly beans?

-As a whole, I've never been a huge fan of jellybeans. But if I had to eat them I would say in the past my favorite were the Starburst Jellybeans (strawberry, orange, cherry, lime). And also the Jelly Belly ones that came with like 50 crazy flavors in a bag and I liked sorting them. I have recently learned that the confectioner's glaze that gives the jelly beans their hard shiny outer coating is a form of shellac and made out the bodily excretions of the Lac beetle. THUS I eat jellybeans no longer.

 

2. What size shoe do you wear?

-9 1/2

 

3. What is your favorite cereal?

-Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Frosted Flakes, Special K Red Berries, the various flavors of cheerios, Fruit Loops.... I love cereal.

 

4. Have you ever cut your own hair?

-uuummmmm.. yes.  I don't really go to have real haircuts done, so every so often I trim my split ends myself.  Probably not the smartest idea but I haven't had any major disasters yet.

 

5. Do you sing in the shower?

-Nope. It's all business when I'm in the shower. Get in, get out. I sing a lot in the car though.

because finally and completely I belong." 

-Jordan Dane

"and, when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of Heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.."

-W.Shakespeare

1. Pieces of Advice you have for aspiring writers?
-Well, I'm not really qualified to give any type of advice. But I suppose from a reader's point of view I would say to aspiring writers: Don't let the negative reviews outweigh the positives.

2. Favorite TV show when you were younger?
Oh man, sooo many shows. If we're talking about REALLY young it was Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Secret World of David Gnome, the ORIGINAL Looney Toons, Duck Tales, Captain Planet, The Smurfs, Rescue Rangers, Doug, Tiny Toons, and Tale Spin! I MISS THEM! Kids shows now a days don't even come close to comparing to the awesomeness of shows in the 80's and 90's. Tragic, really.

How about a little clip of one of my favorite intros? I think so.  I know the recipe for Gummiberry juice but there's just one little problem.....NO GUMMIBERRIES! Also tragic.

 

 

3. What would we find if we looked under your bed?

-Nothing exciting. Just a scrunched up travel bag, 2 clothes containers full of clothes I never wear, and let's not forget the copious amounts of dust bunnies. They're friendly really.

 

4. Book Store or Library?

-If this is one of those questions where I HAVE to choose one OR the other for fear of death, I would choose book store.  If my life isn't threatened, then I choose BOTH!  I love bookstores, because that means I get to keep the books. But I also love the library too, because they're free!

 

5. Heads or Tails?

The classic question....tails!  Or heads. Heads or tails?

1. Is there anything you would like to say to or ask your favorite author?

 

-Dear J.K., PLEASE can you PLEASE write Harry Potter: The New Generation?!? Please oh please.

 

Thanks.

 

-ALSO I'd like to ask Laini Taylor (author of Daughter of Smoke & Bone) where she gets her fantastical brain juice from.

 

2. Are you a dreamer or a realist?

 

-I daydream all day every day. But in reality I'm a realist.

 

3. Theater or Rental?

 

-THEATER THEATER THEATER! I love going to the movies. Maybe it's the popcorn, I don't know.  If only it weren't so stinking expensive now I'd go all the time!

 

4. Share a family tradition.

 

-From about birth until highschool-ish age, me, my brother and my parents went over to my grandparents house every single Friday evening. And my 2 sets of aunts and uncles and cousins would also be there. I have soo many fond memories of those times. Hide-and-go-seek in the dark in the scary basement, ping-pong, playing Captain Planet and Star Trek, dress up and sheet tents.

 

You know it must be pretty special if after you have the option you continue wanting to hang out at your grandparents on a Friday night.

 

5. Favorite late night snack?

 

-CEREAL! (Usually my staples Special K Red Berry or Multigrain Cheerios).  OR frozen yogurt.  Maybe I have a thing for dairy..

1. Top 5 Songs on Your Playlist - I'm a BIG music lover, all different types.  These are some of my newly discovered favorites.

 

Sara Bareilles- Sittin on the Dock of the Bay (Best version I've EVER heard of this song! The girl can SANG!)

 

Clare Bowen & Sam Palladio- If I Didn't Know Better (I just discovered the TV show Nashville and as soon as I heard this song I HAD to download it!)

 

Mumford & Sons- I Will Wait (I mean, these guys ROCK)

 

 

Zac Brown Band- Colder Weather (I'm FREAKIN OBSESSED with this song!)

 

The Weepies- Little Bird (I LOVELOVE this song.)

 

 

 

 

2. How much time do you spend reading each week?

 

- Well. I would say in the average week I probably read between 7-12 hours. I usually read at least an hour a day, and more on the weekends. Averagely.

 

3. What is the last thing you googled?

 

-I don't google, I yahoo.  The last thing I yahooed was a highlight on their main page which was Cringeworthy Glamour pics. You should yahoo it too. Or google if you prefer. They are quite hilarious.

 

4. Favorite Places to Travel?

 

-The beach is an old favorite (preferably in the fall when I don't have to risk my vampire skin frying off).  Disney World is good. I like zoos. And aquariums.  I haven't travelled that much actually. So I'll list a couple places I'd like to visit:  South Africa, New Zealand, New York, England, and California.

 

5. What is your favorite way to spend a rainy day?

- Ideally it would be with some friends kicking back playing board games, eating good food and listening to awesome music. But I'll settle for being in my jammies and reading an ole reliable book (such as Harry Potter)  or watching a movie (Bridget Jones' Diary is a favorite of mine).
