1. What's the last book you read?
That is a great question, um, I think it was Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer.
2. Was it any good?
I enjoyed it, it was cute and clever. It is about how the characters in a book are actually real, and every time you open a book they are basically "putting on a play" and when you close the book they live their own lives. So, Delilah loves this one particular book and reads it all time and the main character in the book she loves, Oliver, wants to escape. And one day they are able to talk to each other, and fall in love of course, and she tries to help him escape. It's great for my imagination, I mean just think off all the possibilities and all the characters I could bring to life! It would be amazing!
3. What would you do if you won the lottery?
Hmm, well first off I would probably pay for college and probably finish school (though I might go to school for a little bit longer and change my major, because I'm assuming I won a lot of money and never have to work again). Then I would probably buy a nice house one with an amazing library in it, and make sure my family and friends were taken care of. Then I'd probably buy a cute apartment in France, a chateau in the south of France, and a house in Ireland perhaps or maybe a castle. I would travel a lot to all sorts of countries and meet different people and just experience this amazing world. Then I would open up a small little bookstore somewhere because I love to read and I've always just wanted to live my life in a bookshop. And then after all of that, I would probably donate money to different charities and try to help out where I can.
4. Favorite song at the moment?
Hmm, I really like Wake Me Up by Avicii and I also love Brave by Sara Bareilles, oh and Same Love by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
5. What's the best part of your day?
Today? or in general? Either way it is when I finally get to come home and relax with my parents :)
6. Do you believe everything happens for a reason?
I like to think so. I think we are all destined to become someone and leave our mark on this world, small or large. I mean even if we just affect one life, we've left our mark. (Oh gosh, now I'm reminding myself of The Fault in Our Stars...why do I do this to myself!) The things that happen to us, leads us to who we are meant to be and what mark we are meant to leave. I mean there has to be a reason for why we go through what we go through, good or bad. And everything in our lives, from what we go through, to the friends we make and lose, and the people we talk to briefly on the train cause us to become who we are and how we think and shapes us. So I do believe that everything happens for a reason, because I believe in fate and destiny. But I also believe that if you ever find yourself on a path that you don't like or unhappy with that you have the power to change it.
7. Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?
Hmm, I like both because they are both so beautiful in their own ways. The sunrise is so pretty and peaceful and full of promises for a new day. But the sunset is beautiful and almost fills you with a sense of bitter-sweetness. So I guess I prefer sunsets. Besides, there's that quote that I've always loved from Le Petit Prince:
"You know--one loves the sunset, when one is so sad…"
8. What's the key to happiness?
I don't know yet, but if I ever figure it out I'll let you know!
9. What's your favorite word?
Obstreperous; it means noisy and difficult to control. I have no idea why I love it, mostly because it was such a big word and fun to say...
10. Is there something you look forward to?
Hmm, I look forward to the day when I feel like I have things under control again and I'm not so stressed out by...life, I guess.
Here are my questions:
1. Where's your safe place? Your sanctuary?
2. If reincarnation is possible, who do you think you were in a past life?
3. What book changed your life?
4. Do you want people to remember you? If so, what for?
5. What is your favorite thing about yourself?
6. Which five people, alive or dead, do you wish you could sit and have a conversation with?
7. If you could learn your future, any detail of it, would you? If so, what would you want to know?
8. Do you believe in love?
9. What's your favorite sound?
10. If you could witness any event (past, present, or future) what would it be?
11. If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?
