Depends on the teacher, like, music might be my favorite subject if I had a different teacher for it.

Name: Jwyn :)

1. What are some of your hobbies?

I'm a crafter and a reader. I love books and yarn and duct tape and slime and fabric and paaaaaaper.

2. What is your favorite section of the CB?

Ooh, tricky. I love DtE because I like to talk about life the universe and everything, but when asked I'd probaby say PP because ski lodges, lyric threads, and SIs.

3. What is your favoite genre to read/write?

Fantasy. Definitely. 

4. If you could have any superpower, what would you want and why?

If I was asked that a year or two ago, I would say something like flying or telekinesis. Asked now, I think I would like to be able to know what people need, as a person, as a friend, as an advocate, and I pray all the time I'd have the strength to help someone like that. 

5. What is your favorite food/s?

My favorite food of all time is definitely tomato pie. No, not pizza, tomato pie. I'm told it's only a thing in our area, but it's basically thick soft pizza dough with a thick layer of tomato sauce and a tiny sprinkle of parmesian cheese on top. It is delicious cold.

6. What's inside that pink sparkly box over there?

What box? *spots a sparkly box in my mind's AR* Aha! *opens it* It's a pair of white sneakers. I honestly have no idea why. 

7. What's your favorite subject in school?

Englishenglishenglishenglishenglish. And Spanish.

I started a sentence with a coordinating conjunction. *cringes* 

8. Has your wok ever been published? If so, where?

I'm assuming you mean 'work' because publishing a wok would mean a lot of stir-fry recipes. In terms of writing, I don't think so, but I did get a piece of art published in Cricket (see if you can find me in the Mar2017 issue ;)). 

9. If you were ice cream, what flavor would you be?

That is a very good question. My brain is insisting on mint chip so I will go with that for now, but that is a very very good question... 

10. What is your favorite movie?

Umm... I don't watch a lot of movies or tv... I really liked Earth to Echo... I don't know. I haven't watched a lot of movies that really speak to me yet. 

11. Do you have any wierd talents?

I have a very flexible back that bends, like a lot. Also if I hang out with two of my friends but they don't know each other, they tend to become really good friends. I don't know if that's a talent, buuuuuut... 

12. What are some of your favorite songs?

I gravitate towards songs that a) speak to me or I relate with or b) have a great beat for dancing. Lately I really like Symphony by Switch, and probably most Britt Nicole, more specifically Headphones, You, and After You. 

13. If you were an animal, which one would you be?

A giraffe, because I'm tall, vegetarian and quiet. Not to mention it's my favorite animal. They are soooo beautiful :) 

14. Do you play any musical instuments?

I have un poco experience with tin whistle and piano, but I'm not a big musician at all.
