Katie's Questions
1. Do you watch/understand football?
I watch it with my dad and brothers sometimes. I don't like it very much, but (and don't you dare tell them this) I'm starting to warm up to it. I understand the bare minimum.
2. What are your favorite family traditions?
Well, my favorite is how we celebrate Christmas. Both my dad and mom's families live in basically the same Wisconsin town, so we can visit all my relatives over holidays. We spend Christmas Eve with my mom's side and Christmas day with my dad's side. And, since we don't want to take all our gifts with us in the car, we have an immediate family Christmas celebration a week before Christmas. So I have three Christmases. It's awesome.
3. What book can you read over and over again?
I love rereading books, so there could be many answers to this. I'll go with the classic: Harry Potter.
4. If your chapstick could sing a song, what would it be?
Bubblegum Bitch by Marina and the Diamonds
5. Is there a story behind your name? What is it?
My mom liked the name Sara. It's spelled without an h.

Eating.

Ginny
8. What superpower would you like to have?
Pausing time.
9. What would you consider your theme song?
Everybody Loves Me (I have no idea, I'm sorry)
10. My name is Draco Malfoy. I am a racist. I despise gingers and mudbloods. I hate ALL of Gryffindor house, and my parents work for the guy who killed your parents, do you want to be my friend?
YES, BUT ONLY SO I CAN HELP YOU SEE THE LIGHT AND BECOME A BETTER PERSON.
11. What question would you ask me?
Please guide me in life?
