3. Favorite season: Summer, honestly. 

4. Dream occupation: A professional book editor.

6. Current movie your obsessed with: Um, I don't watch a whole lot of movies... but I guess Secret Life of Pets 2 was pretty good.

10. Your opinion on Cricket magazine :) : I still read it and enjoy it, but I liked it more a few years ago.

1. Favorite color

Blue 

2. Favorite sport

Swimming to do, football to watch 

3. Favorite season

Whichever season it is if it's the start of a season, whichever is next if it's not. 

4. Dream occupation

Paramedic 

5. LEAST favorite book/book series

I think it's called Kim? My mother made me read it for school and it was mindnumbingly boring, a slow read, and then right at the end any semblance of plot it had vanished.

6. Current movie your obsessed with

None? I just watched Hunt For The Wilderpeople (not appropriate for all ages, fair warning) 

7. Memory with a friend that you'll never forget

A person who I really wanted to be friends with but wasn't sure if we really were yet once invited my brother and me on this trip he had to make to pick something up. It was a fun trip by itself, but what really made it special was that it definitely pushed us into friend territory. 

8. LEAST favorite food

Eggplant 

9. Describe your best friend (or one of them )

Uhh, might as well go with the same friend I mentioned earlier. He's 6 ft tall. His hair is blond and his eyes are normally blue but when the light hits them just right they look green. I don't really know how I'm supposed to be describing him. Ummmm. He's good at swing dancing. He's super nice and the most gentlemanly person I've met. He has weird taste in movies though.

10. Your opinion on Cricket magazine :)

It's been a while since I got it, but I really liked it when I did! 

11. Most expensive/ special item you own

Expensive is my clock radio, because I wanted one that could play CDs and apparently they don't make those anymore. 

Special is a doll my mother made me for my first birthday. 

12. Favorite item of clothing you own

Probably my long pink skirt. Maybe my blue fleece though. 

13. Work of Art you're proud of

Oh gosh, I am so not artistic. Not like in a trashing my own art way, just that it's not my thing. Do cakes count? I made a striped carrot cake a while ago that turned out really well. 

14. Favorite place you've traveled  

I haven't traveled much, so I guess Canada in the winter. Montreal specifically.

I love surveys! 

1. Favorite color: Purple.

2. Favorite sport: I don't play it much, but I kind of like soccer. 

3. Favorite season: Definitely summer. That is the season where school lets out, my family goes swimming, my family goes on vacation, my friends that live far away come for two weeks, and I have my birthday in summer. 

4. Dream occupation: Something animal-related, like a vet or a zookeeper. Also an animal shelter volunteer, but I already am doing that technically, so it's not really a dream occupation.

5. LEAST favorite book/book series: Great Expectations. I know it's Charles Dickens and all, and it's about emotion and stuff, but I don't care about the characters' emotions if I don't care about the characters! They are so boring to me. And nothing ever happens. It was a school project, so I had to read all the way through, and it was hard to not glaze over every little thing the characters do, which is not very much. 90% of this book is people walking around and talking. I kind of like the climax, but thats it.

6. Current movie you're obssessed with: I like the How to Train Your Dragon movies. Those are always really fun to watch (and HTTYD Homecoming is coming out soon! Yayyyy!). 

7. Memory with a friend you'll never forget: Funny. One just happened yesterday, and it was so epic. So, me and five other friends were playing Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and we were singing some songs. Then, one friend started up Lifelight, the main theme of that game. Everyone sang along. It was so epicly amazing, just singing that with everyone.

8. LEAST favorite food: I don't have one. That doesn't mean that I like every food, I do dislike some. But I can't pinpoint my least favorite food. Sorry. 

9. Describe your best friend (or one of them): One of them is extremely sarcastic and weird. She is an extreme extrovert, she one time walked up to everyone and asked if they would be our friend. No reason to have any more friends, she just did it because. She is also strangely popular with everyone. 

10. Your opinion on Cricket magazine :): I used to not appreciate Cricket as much when I was younger. Thought it 'not as exciting' as the other two magazines I got, which was Spider and Ask. But I gained a deeper appreciation of Cricket's literature and community when I was older. I also love all the illustrations of the front cover. I love all the buggies that the magazine has (my favorites are Ladybug and Muffin), and the Cricket Country adventures that they go through. Fun fact: the first Cricket magazine I read was March 2015!

11. Most expensive/special item you own: Most expensive is definitely the Nintendo Switch. We had more expensive devices, but those were for the family. I'm the only one that owns the Switch. Besides, nobody but my friends and me play on the Switch anyways, so even if it was family, it wouldn't make much difference. The most special thing I have is not an item, but it is my dog. Just wanted to throw out there that I love my dog so much.

12. Favorite item of clothing that you have: You are probably going to hate me for this, but I don't have one. I'm not big on clothing. I am not one of those people. I like clothing, but I can't pinpoint which one I like the most because I don't care about clothing that much.

13. Work of art you are proud of: So, I was going to challenge myself something one day. I was going to draw a super detailed Rainwing (a type of dragon in the Wings of Fire series) with no erasing. I have never drawn something so detailed before. The second half ended up scrawny and the wings ended up all messy, which comes with no erasing. But the first half actually looked good. It looked so awesome and accurate. True, I did trace that drawing, but I have a hard time picturing how it is going to look like in my head, and it was challenging enough already. But still, I was proud of myself for that. 

14. Favorite place you've traveled: Jekyll Island, which is on the coasts of Georgia. There is just so much to do there. Mini golf courses, pools, the beach, bike riding, stores to visit, and many, many resturants. And you can bring your dog to Jekyll Island too, since there are dog-friendly hotesl there. Our family is thinking about going every year.

Sorry that this is so long, I had a lot to talk about. But I enjoyed this survey!

1. Favorite color

Blue 

2. Favorite sport

Basketball 

3. Favorite season

Probably fall. Or maybe summer, because no school. 

4. Dream occupation

I'd love to do something creative. Like a writer or a journalist, maybe. 

5. LEAST favorite book/book series

Terrible YA romance books. And also the Magnus Chase series, because it's like Rick Riordan is just writing books so he can advertise his other books (like "oh, here's my cousin Annabeth, want to read the Percy Jackson books?") 

6. Current movie your obsessed with

Lady Bird (I know it's not super recent) 

7. Memory with a friend that you'll never forget

Hmm... there are so many. One time my girlfriend and I sang "Breaking Free" from High School Musical as an actual duet with harmony and everything, in public, and it was so dumb it was really fun. (I include her because we're also really good friends, obviously.)

8. LEAST favorite food

Brussells sprouts. Or aspargus. Eww.

9. Describe your best friend (or one of them)

He's kind of insane and he lacks common sense. He's really good at school – he's great at science and he's a natural at learning languages – but one time he ate soup off the floor of the cafeteria. A lovable idiot. We have all these inside jokes no one else gets.

10. Your opinion on Cricket magazine :)

I loved it when I had it, but I don't get it anymore. I just kind of feel like I've aged out (I'm a junior in high school). I barely go on the CB anymore either.

11. Most expensive/ special item you own

I (sort of) own my dad's old guitar, which is probably not the most expensive thing but is really special.

12. Favorite item of clothing you own

Shirts/sweatshirts from things I've done. Like the custom ones with people's names on the back or the logo from some show. 

13. Work of Art you're proud of

I've written a couple of books that I'm proud of. And I composed a piece of music I really like, too. 

14. Favorite place you've traveled

New Mexico. I love Santa Fe.
