I am so late to this but instead of a character may I ask these questions to you instead? 🥺👉👈? (If not that's okay I will follow up shortly with a character!)
12. I'm giving you a plane ticket, where are you going?
15. you can only wear one colour for the rest of your life, what colour is it?
26. you can only read one book for the rest of your life. What book is it?
37. favourite flower?
46. do you get complimented often? (if not here you go: you're an amazing person ♡) (even more of an additional note actually written by me personally: you're genuinely one of the sweetest and most thoughtful people I have spoken to!! I absolutely adore reading your thoughts!)
You’re not late to this at all! Until I post saying I’m not accepting any more of these reader appreciation prompts, they’re wide-open to requests from any of my lovely readers, you most definitely included!! I’m so flattered you want to ask me questions and of course it’s okay. Honestly, I cannot properly state the boost in my mood, the excited little double-beat of my heart, and the happiness I feel knowing that people are interested in hearing about me too and not just the characters. It’s always so sweet and so flattering so thank you so much for this ask 😊 I hope these are interesting to read!
12) I’m giving you a plane ticket. Where are you going?
At the moment, given how cold it’s getting where I am (winter is definitely upon us early here), I’m going somewhere warm. With those limitations, wanting to be warm right now, and how much of a broke bitch I currently am, assuming this is just a plane ticket and not an all-expenses paid trip, I’m going to Cuba, since you can technically afford a vacation there at the moment, with Canadian currency, at an all-in resort, for pretty cheap. Now, if I was to assume the opposite, assuming that I’ve won the lottery and am rich enough for money to not be an issue, I’m doing either one of two things. I’m reaching out to the friends online that I talk to the most often, of which there are six of these absolute gorgeous human beings, I’m paying for their flights and vacations, and we’re all going to Disney World for a vacation. It’s an easy first way to meet everyone for the first time, since there’s lots for everyone to do and keep occupied with, not only with rides, shows, and such, but also tours and the like. Or, given that I know one of those gorgeous human beings has been going through it lately, I’m sucking up the cold and going to Belgium. I’m pretty sure it's still warmer than Canada 😂
15) You can only wear one colour for the rest of your life. What colour is it?
Oh, an easy one to answer! I like it when those come along. Assuming we’re not talking my work uniform, which I have no choice but to wear, it’s going to be black. A lot of my wardrobe is already black, though I’ve been experimenting more and more with colour over the past five years, so I wouldn’t really need to worry about going and getting more clothes. It’s easy enough to add interest to an all-black outfit with fun accessories, black is generally easy for just about everyone to pull off, so it just makes the most sense to me.
26) You can only read one book for the rest of your life. What book is it?
And then we switch to this, the absolute hardest question you could ever possibly ask me. I am, and have always been, such a voracious reader. I love books and I read (including audiobooks, graphic novels, and manga volumes) at least 300 books a year. To have all those taken away from me and be reduced to a single book forever? For one, it would kill me. I would sob so hard you would think I was going to die. But if I was absolutely forced to, I guess I would have to keep Stephen King’s On Writing. My copy is well-worn – the spine is cracked, there’s highlighted passages, little notes stuck on pages via sticky notes (I will not write in a book). I read it frequently and it never fails to help my writer’s block. It makes me want to get back to writing every time I read it. On top of that, it contains some truly fantastic thoughts on and advice on the act of writing itself.
I think I’ve actually posted this on the blog before, but daisies are my absolute favourite flowers, especially the multi-coloured ones. I’m pretty lucky that way since a bouquet of them at the grocery store only costs about $25 dollars, meaning I can occasionally splurge and treat myself to them. I also really like tulips, lady slippers, and bleeding hearts.
46) Do you get complimented often (if not, here you go: you’re an amazing person <3) (even more of an additional note actually written by me personally: you’re genuinely one of the sweetest and most thoughtful people I have spoken to!! I absolutely adore reading your thoughts!)
I do not 😂 Like, absolutely do not. It’s funny (thought absolutely, one hundred percent the loveliest thing) but the majority of compliments I get are from you absolutely wonderful readers. You really do a wonder for my self-esteem and thank you so much for the compliment – it made me so happy to read it, like I genuinely can’t stop smiling. Outside of the blog though, I rarely get compliments from people. When I do, it’s normally due to me having just recently changed my hair to some funky colour and then it’s almost always on the ‘bravery’ I have to rock the hair colours I do. Which, by the way, is something I will never understand. Having had hair all colours of the rainbow, that is the compliment I’ve gotten most often – how brave I am to dye my hair that colour and how they could never be that brave. I just don’t get it because, to me, it requires zero bravery and honestly, funky hair gets a really positive feedback from our customers and people in general.
