Lali's questions/my answers:

1. What’s your favourite flower? - I don't have a particular favorite. I quite like sunflowers, so I guess I'll go with that!

2. If you had a house in the country and a house/apartment in a large city, where would you spend more time? - In the country, definitely. I wouldn't even have the city place -- I'd rather be out of the city 100% of the time.

3. What do you prefer? Drinking tea or coffee? - Coffee if it's hot, tea if it's on ice!

4. Writing with a biro or a pencil? - Biro (I actually had to google and make sure that meant "pen" since I'm American. Definitely going to call pens biros from now on, haha.)

5. Sleeping in pyjamas or nightdress? - Nightdress or very long t-shirt/tank

6. What’s your favourite ice-cream flavour? - Mint chip or black cherry

7. Which was the first James Dean film you saw? - Giant

8. What was your favourite cartoon when you were a child? - On television it was definitely Arthur. My favorite animated film was All Dogs Go to Heaven.

9. Have you ever been to Paris (France, not Texas or any other Paris)? If yes, what did you like about it best? If no, would you like to go? - I've never been anywhere in Europe! The only place I've been outside of the US is Canada. I'd love to visit Paris some day, but I've got to hit up Belgium and Scotland first.

10. If you could write a letter to a dead person and knew s/he would read it, whom would you write it to? - My nanny (maternal great grandma). I never got to meet her. She died just before my older sister was born. I would love to write to her and let her know how much respect I have for her, and how much I wish I had the opportunity to get to know her! I feel a very strong connection to her even though we never met.

11. Do you spend more time on YouTube watching films, or random clips and funny videos? - I'm subscribed to a ton of people on youtube, so I stick to my subscriptions, which are mostly "booktube" videos and vlogs. For films I stick to DVDs (from my collection, the library and the rental store), TCM and Netflix (Instant and delivery).

My questions:

1. When/how did you become interested in classic film?

2. If you had to move to a town and stay there, with no travel at all, for the next ten years, where would you choose to live?

3. What is your favorite book-to-film adaptation?

4. What is your unrealistic dream job?

5. Do you collect anything? If so, what do you collect and how large is your collection?

6. If you could re-cast any 2011 film with classic actors, which film would you choose and who would your cast be?

7. If you could create a national holiday, what would it be?

8. What is your oldest memory?

9. If time travel was possible, would you travel to a different period and stay there, or go for a glimpse and then come back to the present?

10. Who are your non-fictional OTPs?

11. If your life was made into a film, what genre would it be?

I TAG: misscarousel, mothgirlwings, avaritagrace, movies-classics, mandy-rascal, simply-divoon, myreveries, shakinthebluesaway, classic-hollywood, dameocracy, thefairmsfrigidaire (Sorry if any of you have already done this!)
