Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Survey!

Survey!

  1. Are you a night owl or a early bird?

A bit of both. l like to stay up late, yet l also can wake up quite early.

2. Favorite cheese?

Provolone. Best cheese that there has ever been

3. Favorite candy?

Hoarhound candy and Bull’s Eyes.

4. Where do you want to travel?

Everywhere! Europe, South America, Antarctica, but most especially the UK.

5. What's the weather like outside?

Warm. About 45 degrees. Way too warm.

6. Animal that you least like?

Squirrels. They’re not cute, they’re pests. And deer and mice for the same reason. Deer raid our garden every year and they’re becoming a problem over here because they’re getting too tame and used to humans.

7. What's your favorite genre to read and write?

Sci-fi/Steampunk/Historical Fiction/Mystery. l find that Fantasy is horribly over used as a genre and setting, l don’t like to read it with a few exceptions and l will die if l write it, l dislike it so.

8. What would like to do in the future, after you are done with your education?

l want to travel, and to write books along with it. Also photography, as l find it interesting and are somewhat good at it. l want to do two of my favorite things: adventuring and writing.

1. Both. If I had to choose, though, I'd say early bird. (Good evening, shuttle bus, tell me where you're gonna take us...)

2. Cheddar or provolone.

What a wonderful survey.

1. By far an early bird. My firends laugh when I tall them, "I stayed up so late last night!" They know it means I made it to maybe 10;) Hey, early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise, eh?

2. Sharp cheese...? I'm not a huge cheese person. Ricotta, maybe.

3. GIVE ME YOUR NECCOS OR ELSE. I MEAN IT.

(I got no Neccos on Halloween. Traumatic)

4. If I could spend a year in Europe, just traveling, I'd be pretty content. I have a feeling I might end up as one of those graduates who backpack across Europe.

5. 40 something.

Boo.

THIS IS NOT VERMONT WEATHER, PEOPLE.

6. Any rodent that my brother thinks is adorable (he loves moles, rats and mice. Just ugh).

7. It used to be Historical Fiction... but lately anything. The book I'm writing is a weird mix of every genre...

8. After education... I really hadn't thought that far ahead. I'll probably get married, become a journalist or writer or historian or scientist or teacher or librarian or...

I like having my future WIDE open.

2. Parmesan. I just adore it.

3. Anything with CHOCOLAAAATE!

6. Hmm, do mosquitos count? Or are those insects? Anyway, I hate them.

7. Ooooh, realistic fiction is really fun, I also like fantasy, but a specific type of fantasy I made up a name for called realistic fantasy. 

8. I don't know yet. I want to write and... see the world, and read a lot, and be a doctor.

  1. Are you a night owl or a early bird?

To quote Bea Miller, "I am a night owl. I come alive." So, yeah. And Somebody, I agree. I sleep way better in the morning than at night. If I got just an hour of extra sleep each morning...

2. Favorite cheese?

Um. The...cheesy kind? 

3. Favorite candy?

Jolly ranchers, airheads.

4. Where do you want to travel?

Australia and France. Australia because I've always liked it because of my name and because of how unique it is. France because Paris is just so artsy and cool.

5. What's the weather like outside?

I don't know. Probably cold. I've been hanging out inside all day.

6. Animal that you least like?

I don't know. Probably bugs...definitely bugs. Except for, you know, cartoon ones.

7. What's your favorite genre to read and write?

Fantasy, sorry Shadow Dragon. Especially fairy tale spinoffs. I'm obsessed with them: Land of Stories, Gail Carson Levine, Half Upon a Time, et cetera.

I want to write a sitcom so I can work on something lighthearted when I'm feeling stressed but don't have any good ideas. Maybe fantasy sitcom? I don't know, I'm not good at realistic fiction, but all my ideas for fantasy-themed sitcoms seem cliche or weird. 

8. What would like to do in the future, after you are done with your education?

I don't know. Be happy. 

I want to write either music or regular writing. And I want to act at my local theater. Because I'm likely not going to be a professional singer/actress, but I love singing/acting anyway.

High Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Western, and Sci-fi.  High Fantasy is my absolute favorite though.  I don't really write much, but when I do I like to write fantasy.

8. What would like to do in the future, after you are done with your education?

After I'm done with my education I'd either like to go into musical theatre as a serious career, or graphic design, or I'd like to be an athletic coach, probably of track or cross country.
