Just a List of Random Questions


The rules for the tag are:
~ Paste the button onto your blog post.
~ Leave a new list of questions (or just pass on the question list you answered) and tag a few people of your random choice (and say why you tagged them, if you have time!) (Be original and nonsensical in your question-creativity - make the blogging world a cheerful place :-) And be disastrously random.)
Now for the fun...
~Write down three facts about you - one of them is WRONG. Let your commenters guess in the comments which one is wrong (and tell them in the comments after a while)
~Answer the questions of the person who tagged you - make it all super random and interesting :-D

I was tagged by Hamelette to participate and I thought it looked like fun! First, here are three facts about me and one of them is a LIE

1) I go to public school
2) I don't like coffee
3) I have a cat named Gypsy
...So which one do you think is false? Guess in the comments and I'll tell you which is the lie!

Hamlette's Questions:

Favorite role from your favorite actor?
Okay, so sadly this was really hard to think of... I am not good with actors/actresses so.... Martin Freeman, and while I am tempted to say John Watson, I loved him too much as Bilbo Baggins. So there. And to cheat, second is Richard Armitage as Mr. Thornton because handsome....



Favorite role from your favorite actress?

Hmm... I love Dame Judy Dench and though she has been in so many, I really like her as Miss Matty in Cranford- and we have the same name in that movie, though she spells it differently :P

Book you've read that you tell people not to bother reading?
This is hard because if I dislike a book it is usually never finished so I feel unqualified to tell others my opinion of the book as a whole.... but if you twisted my arm I would have to say don't bother to read The Postmistress. The cover looks lovely and perfect, and the era seemed right (WWII and just after) but no. Do not bother to read it, because it will disappoint (or at least that was my experience.)



A food you refuse to try?
Can it be a drink? (Cheating again...) Green tea. My aunt, who made me a lover of teas, especially of the loose leaf variety, insists she will have me try it and like it.... but it smells weird and is said to taste earthy.... and who wants that?

Your favorite article of clothing?
My flowy white shirt. I feel fancy and Anne of Green Gables-y when I wear it. And who doesn't want to feel AoGG-ish?!

Have you ever gone to see the same movie in the theater more than once?
Yes. Sadly, I can't name a specific movie, but I remember seeing it with friends and then seeing the same one with my family. This has happened more than once.

Do you paint your toenails?
Yes! Especially since it pays off more than painting your nails. Toenail polish can last for months if you want it to... right now I have dark blue polish on my toes from when my mom and I got mani-pedis for spring break (a special treat :))

Do you wear any piece of jewelry every day?
I was going to say no but I suppose my watch counts as jewelry, and I am one of the few people I know (at least, who are my age) that wear one every day. It is silver, with a face, not digital, and I love it. It is delicate, so rather more like a bracelet than a clunky watch.

Are you on Pinterest?
The better question would be are you ever NOT on Pinterest.... ha

Do you collect anything?
Nope. I thought about it a couple times, but I don't ever follow through. Unless collecting books counts because I have bookshelves, closets, and nightstands full of those babies.

Have you ever asked a famous person for their autograph?
No, because I really haven't seen a famous person up close. Maybe someday..... like when I marry Richard Armitage? (Just kidding. Kind of.)... random aside, my sister is terrified when I fangirl over him because she says he is too old. Hmmph. Maybe he is, but his voice is lovely, his acting is wonderful, and he is a celebrity, so it's not like that will really end up being a problem. Okay, rant over. :)


Have you been outside the country you were born in?
Never. :'( tear tear. Unless you count as a fetus, because my parents went to Canada then....

Okay, that was fun! I am now supposed to tag people. And because I usually wimp out on this part, I am forcing myself to do it properly this time. I nominate Miss Dashwood and Petie. Do the tag if you would like, but no pressure. :) If I didn't tag you and you want to do this, go right ahead!

My Questions:

  1. If you could go back in time and kill Hitler would you? Why or why not?
  2. Have you ever experienced buyer's remorse? If so, what on?
  3. Have you ever bought a book for it's cover? What book? Did you end up liking it?
  4. What is your favorite flower?
  5. What celebrity and/or fictional character are you most compatible with? (NOT who you most like, because that is not always the same thing.)
  6. Quick! Jeans or dresses?
  7. Time to be cliche and ask what time period you would go back to if you could.
  8. Do you have a list of names you want to name your children? If they are not too secret, would you share one of them with us?
  9. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
  10. College: for or against? Why?

  1. You did the tag! What fun! I'm reasonably sure statement #1 is the lie.

    Hurrah for watch-wearing! I wear one too, and feel super weird without it. SO much easier to look at my wrist than pull my phone out of my pocket.

    Richard Armitage is not too old! When I was your age, I was very fangirly about Harrison Ford (still am, though not quite to the same extent), and... Richard Armitage is 44 now, and Harrison Ford was 44 when I was 6 years old. You'll survive this (but my friends thought I was weird).

  2. Actually number three is the lie. :) I thought if I went specific with a name for the cat people might believe me though, so it worked!

    So glad to meet someone else who wears a watch! We seem to be a rare breed nowadays...

    Thanks for the backup on Richard Armitage fangirling! I'll tell my sis ;)

    1. Even my husband has given up wearing a watch. Sigh.

  3. Hello Maddie!
    I just found your blog through Hamlette. Those are such great answers. The part about Richard Armitage is just so perfect. *sigh* It's great to find another kindred spirit!
