Questions from Jenni and my answers

2  Who is your favorite author? Mary Shelley, Markus Zusak and Kate Griffin. Lots of others too.
3  Who is your favorite literary character of all time? Ugh, way too many to count. Matthew Swift, (of course) cause he cracks me up and is just so dang cool. Cassel, cause he tries so hard to do the right thing and is loyal. Antsy, cause I'd love to meet a kid as awesome as he is in real life. Strong Hand, cause, just...wow!  Sean, because he has a life outside of the girl he loves. Cameron Wolfe, cause he tears at my heart strings. Ed Kennedy cause he's a little lost and aren't we all?
4  When did you start blogging? April of 2011. It's almost my blogoversary!
5  Why did you start blogging? Good ol' peer preasure. Suey was always harassing encouraging me. ;) Either way I'm glad cause I sure have fun.
6  If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Spain...Madrid Spain...Real Madrid...Soccer....Hot guys who might take their shirt off...Need I say more? ;)
7  If money were not an issue, what would you buy yourself at this very instant? A washer and dryer. I'm getting awfully sick of doing laundry at my moms.
8  Who is your favorite actor? Argh! I can't narrow it down to one. I like John Cusack, cause he amuses me. James Marsden, cause he's funny and cute. Damian Lewis, cause there's just something intriguing about him. Ethan Hawke, cause he can actually act. Kate Beckinsale, Cause she's the only female actress I can stand. James McAvoy, cause you can't help but root for him. Johnathan Ryhs Meyers, cause he has that adorable Irish accent and those soulful eyes. Many, many more.
9  What is your favorite movie? Grosse Point Blank. I'm all about dark comedies and this one cracks me up. I have tons of other favorites too but, yeah.
10 Who is your favorite musician/band? I don't have one. I'll find a song from some band and adore it but that doesn't mean I like everything of theirs so I can't say I have a favorite.

    1. Oh no! I thought we had so much in common. Oh well, the similarities had to end somewhere.

  6. No!!!! Just kidding. I think I will answer the questions for my blog tomorrow because I need to do something fun. I purposely rent and buy movies when I see John Cusack is in them, even if I don't know what to expect because he is awesome.

    1. I do the same thing. I've seen a few weird ones too but John makes them "OK".

  7. Fun answers. Somehow I haven't read any of your favorite authors or books with your favorite characters (except for Sean Griswold's Head, which I really liked). I need to get on that. :) And the movies and actors. I feel very uncultured right about now.
    But I did just get a washer & dryer a couple weeks ago and I'm pretty sure all my wildest dreams came true. (At least, the one about not going to the laundry mat anymore.)

    1. You need to read some of the books I mentioned! Don't worry about the movie actors, though. ;)

      I want a washer and dryer soooo bad!

  8. I did not know that Frankenstein was your favorite book. I read it in high school and loved it, but I think I may need to reread it now. Also, I <3 James McAvoy. :)

    1. James McAvoy is awesome in everything...except Atonement. ;)

  9. I want to say something about everything you said, lol. But, I'll just say that I love Grosse Point Blank too. Corey and I crack up over that all the time! It's such a fantastic movie. We don't know many people who've seen it what with its rating and all. Yay for another fan!

    1. I'm so glad you've seen and love it too! It's so funny but even with the rating, I don't think some people would get it.

  11. I will watch anything with John Cusack in it. How can anyone not LOVE him:) I love it when you post anything about soccer! I know nothing of the sport, but I love the pics you post;) I did not remember that we started blogging at the same time...that makes my heart smile! Thanks for tagging me!

  12. Loved Grosse Point Blank... so many quotables in that one! Good answers!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Darn it! Your Damien Lewis link leads to Ethan Hawke. Love Lewis (but I prefer him when he's speaking with his real accent). Not a fan of Hawke, though. Love Grosse Point Blank and "Nessun Dorma" (which is actually new to me, since I found a video of Alfie Boe singing it in Matt whatsit's kitchen). Crazy about John Cusack. Spain sounds good. I'd go to Spain. Yep.

  14. Awesome fun answers. And I'm too tired to say more! :)

  15. Fun! Madrid would be a wonderful travel destination...especially if you could go with John Cusack. Now THAT would be memorable... :)

    I'm going to reveal how horribly old I am now, and say that I remember seeing Cusack in The Journey of Natty Gann and thinking he was OK...but the dog/wolf was cuter. ;) (Hey. I was young and foolish...)

    1. I almost forgot he was in that one. I liked the Wolf better cause I was young too!

  16. Ha! I'm so going to do this! And you should go to Spain whenever you get the chance. It's so beautiful there you'll love it. I was there with my cousin who is like a HUGE FC Barcelona fan!
