I was tagged by my dear friend the-starsarealive (aka Halle!)! (IM SORRY HALLE IDK HOW TO TAG PEOPLE)

Rules: Always post the rules! Answer the questions of the person who tagged you and write 11 new ones. Tag 11 people,and link them to let them know they are tagged.

1. Favorite album of 2013? Fiction Family Reunion by Fiction Family!

2. Favorite quote? That’s a terribly difficult question to answer.. But this one by Jon Foreman would prolly have to be my fave: “Christ will never be cool. Terrifying, life-changing, shocking, and iconoclastic, but never cool. Jesus is not my homeboy. The Gospel will always be “relevant” but never trendy.”

3. What is your dream job? Probably being in a band and also doing something in photography at the same time.

4. Weirdest dream you’ve ever had? Oh lord have mercy.. I have had some WEIRD dreams. But the only one I can think of at the moment (which, PLEASE don’t judge me - it was in middle school okay), is I once dreamed that Zac Efron was my boyfriend. And we kissed. And I woke up and nearly died.

5. What’s your favorite item of clothing? Hmm.. Probably my Gone shirt that my mom made for me. Or my Switchfoot TV shirt (which my mom also made). Just because of the lovely memories. :)

6. What’s your favorite thing in your room? Man, that’s hard.. Prolly some of my childhood toys and all my Switchfoot stuff. Haha

7. Best memory from elementary school? Well, I was homeschooled, soo nothing really comes to mind haha since it was just me and my brother.

8. Favorite/least favorite genre of music? Probably secular rap. I listen to a little Christian rap (Lecrae), but otherwise I’m not super fond of rap.

9. Which fictional world would you live in if you had the choice? MIDDLE EARTH NO QUESTIONS ASKED

10. Summer or Winter? I love both for different reasons, but prolly Summer. :) (EVEN THO ITS DEATHLY HOT HERE IN THE SUMMER ACK)

11. Favorite line in a song? LORD HAVE MERCY THIS IS SO HARD. But I’ll go with.. “Until I die I’ll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong.” -Switchfoot

Questions for y’all:

1. Your favorite age? 2. Favorite place to relax? 3. If you could co-star in a movie with any actor/actress, who would you choose? 4. Favorite movie you saw in 2013? 5. Do you enjoy flying? (As in on a plane, none of y’all can actually fly to my knowledge.) 6. If you could only listen to 3 bands/artists for the rest of your life, who would you choose? 7. Favorite fruit? 8. What fictional character (from any book, show, movie, etc.) do you most relate to and why? 9. Top 5 favorite books? 10. Your favorite social media website? 11. Your favorite childhood movie?

Ps - if any of y’all just don’t have time or don’t want to do this, don’t feel obligated to. Just if you want to!

I was tagged by: superwholocknerd

QUESTIONS!

1.) What is your favorite album of all time?

Probably Nothing is Sound by Switchfoot :D. That album, man.

2.) Who’s been the most influential person in your life?

If I can't name a band member or anything, I'll say my best friend Haily, because she's been through more than anyone should have to go through, and she's one of the best people I know. I'm extremely lucky to have her as a friend. 

3.) Is there anything exciting that you’re looking forward to this year?

CONCERTSCONCERTSCONCERTSCONCERTS

(Because I have no life and that's the only thing I ever do. But AHH)

4.) What is your favorite memory from your childhood?

I feel like going to DIsney would be my favorite memory, but sadly I was too young to remember it. So my second favorite memory would be having my friend come over almost every Sunday after church, and we would always make forts. It was the best thing ever, because we would even do it outside sometimes, and it was like having our own little world. 

5.) If you could live in any fictional universe, where would it be, and why?

Well, if there's a guarantee that I won't die horribly or anything, I'll say the Supernatural universe :D

6.) If you could give advice to your past self, what would it be?

I had to think about this, my past self was even more of a mess than my present self. 

I would tell my past self to just let go of all the people in your life that are hurting you, because they aren't worth it. Family isn't always going to be the kindest. Try and not overreact of the small things. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you've made. I would tell my past self to hold your head up high, because life is going to get better. You're going to be happier. I wish I could've told myself this because I'm still struggling to accept this advice now, and I maybe my old self could've accepted it sooner if she had someone to talk to. 

7.) What would be your ideal place to live?

I just really want to go live in London, man xP. Or California. Either would be nice. 

8.) If you could have any type of animal as a pet, what would it be and why?

I think I'd be happy having just loads of kittens running around my house. Yes. that sounds very good. 

9.) What fictional character do you think you’re most like?

I...I..I have no idea. I really wish I could answer this because it's a super good question, but I have no idea. Ahh I'm sorry!

10.) What’s your favorite musical instrument and why?

The guitar, because it's the the only thing I can actually play somewhat well, and I think it's just a really amazing instrument. I need to go give whoever invented the guitar a big hug. 

11.) What’s been your best concert experience, and why?

I FEEL LIKE THIS QUESTION WAS MADE FOR ME. HEHEHEH.

It has to be a tie between Alive Festival this past summer, and Switchfoot's Fading West tour in Cincinnati. Alive because I got to see Switchfoot with a really good friend of mine, and Jon grabbed my hand for quite a while during Restless. Also, it was just a lot of fun rocking out with my friend. And Fading West is another favorite because THE MOVIE, and there weren't any barriers between us and the stage, and because I got hugs from the guys, and they signed my guitar. I would give anything to just go relive those days. :D

My Questions:

1.) What was the last book you read?

2.) What's your favorite TV show?

3.) Top 5 songs?

4.) Favorite food?

5.) What was the first CD you ever bought?

6.) What is the thing you like the most about yourself?

7.) What's your favorite color?

8.) Anything you're stressed/nervous about right now?

9.) What is your favorite memory?

10.) What's your favorite item of clothing?

11.) Who is your best friend?
