1. Is there a story behind your name? (First, middle, and/or last doesn’t matter)
My absuive alcoholic turd of a father named me after his boss's daughter because he wanted a raise. Yeah. Maybe you can understand why I'm not an enormous fan of it.
2. What are the 5 craziest things on your bucket list?
-I want to travel the world with my pug. Absolutely serious.
-I want to fall in love with someone who exists in real life and not just in pictures. It would be an added bonus if they love me back.
-I want to write a book. I couldn't care less about being published or anyone else ever seeing it, but I just have SO many ideas in my head all the time, I'd like to know what it's like to actually take the time to bring it to life, start to finish, on the page.
-I want to succeed in college. From where I'm standing that's an absolutely crazy prospect to me.
-I want to have lunch with John Green.
3. If you HAD to go back in time and change one thing in your life, whether you wanted to or not, what would it be?
Ahh this is a biggie because there are so many implications to changing something about the past. I could be an entirely different person because of it and that's not necessarily a good thing.
There are so many things, but I guess I'll go for: I wish I worked harder in Biology. Mrs. McQueen really was a very sweet, intelligent woman and she deserved better than me being completely overwhelmed and useless about all the big words and scientific terms.
4. What is the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for you?
My uncle and aunt allowed me to come and live with them for a year between 2011 and 2012 because I was having a really hard time at home. They didn't owe me anything and I had done nothing to deserve it. It was quite possibly the best year of my life and I don't know how I can ever begin to repay them for it.
5. Do you believe in God(s)?
I think so. Some days I struggle with it. I had the privilege of attending an incredible, open-minded church during my year away. they preached the invaluable importance of love and acceptance rather than policing people's lifestyles for doing the wrong things or worshipping and believing the wrong way. God is love and I will never stop believing in love.
6. Describe your dream house in detail.
Something small and cosy. I'd be entirely too happy in a loft or studio above a book store in the heart of the city where I could walk wherever I needed to go and become completely over acquainted with my neigbourhood, as long as I could make it into my home. I will always long for exposed brick, scruffy hardwood floors, big windows, small bedrooms and the comforting glow of fairy lights. Although, the happiest time in my life was spent living in the countryside among the horses and hay bails and I'd be lying if I said I never dreamed of going back some day...
7. What kind of drunk are you? Or what kind do you think you’d be?
I don't drink! D; I would imagine that I'd be the drunk who spends the night with her head in a toilet because she can't hold her liquor.
8. What are your guilty pleasure movies, tv shows, and musical artists?
Movies: Basically any squishfest romantic comedy that makes me weep for non-existent love life, especially if it's from the golden age of The Nineties: You've Got Mail, Kate and Leopold, Notting Hill, Love Actually, Pride and Prejudice (with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) , anything with Carey Grant.
TV shows: Frasier, Law and Order: SVU, quaint English comedies like As Time Goes By, My Family and the Vicar of Dibley. I watch very little television these days, though.
Music: Journey, Coldplay, Cher and Celine Dionne. (hangs head in shame)
9. Talk about your political views.
I support the Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai for World Domination movement.
10. What is your idea of a perfect friendship?
One that you can take with you no matter what happens in life or where you go in the world and still remain as strong and meaningful as ever, rather than being built on convenience and closeness. I may or may not be lucky enough to already have it and it may or may not be consummated at Disney World next year.
For the peeps:
1.Whose marriage proposal would you accept without a second's hesitation?
2. If you could hop on an airplane to anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would you go?
3. Who do you aspire to be?

5. What do you want to be when you grow up?

8. If you could change/remove one injustice in your own life, society or world as a whole, what would it be?
9. Your life is being adapted into film in the form of a romantic comedy. What's the film called? Who plays you? Who plays your love interest?
10. Would you rather have comically oversized ears or a comically oversized nose?
