Additional information for fun:
I still tend to think of life as a storybook adventure, so here's some related Q & A.
Which character in fiction are you most like? I have something of Hermione Granger's "bushy brown hair, and rather large front teeth", Lucy Pevensie's sense of wonder, and Swiss mountain girl Heidi's innocent domesticity.
Which characters in fiction do you most love? Harry Potter. Lucy Pevensie. Ender Wiggin. Albus Dumbledore. Anne Elliot. Elizabeth Bennet. Hermione Granger. Peeta Mellark. Mortimer Folchart.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be? I think the ability to fly would neutralize many of my biggest fears, unless I couldn't lose the fear of heights.
Favorite personal storybook moment: Getting kissed in the rain by a man wearing a fedora (my amazing husband.)
Favorite personal symbolism: White lilies.
Favorite caught-up-in-reading moment: Feeling so bad for Elizabeth Bennet that I started praying for her.
At the end of your own story, who would you like to be?: Someone known for faith, hope and charity and a pure heart.
Non-story-based stuff, just in case you wondered (yes, these are popular questions from those internet quizzes that go around):
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? The second boyfriend I ever had became my husband in August of 2008.
Do you have a best friend? Briana
Do you rank your speed dial in order of favorite friends? Speed dial? I've never used that.
Who knows all your secrets? Jesus
Who do you cry with? Mom
What is your usual quote? "In the end it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you." —J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Summer, winter, spring or fall? Summer, spring blossom, fall colors, and Christmas
Chocolate or vanilla? Both
Coffee or alcohol? It depends on the day. Coffee tastes better, but alcohol calms me down instead of making me jittery.
Morning or evening? I dream of being a morning person. Usually I'm up at 7:30 and to bed at 11:30.
I'd like to know you too! Please leave a comment on the blog telling me about yourself. Feel free to answer any or all of these questions, or to make up your own bio.
