I got "tagged" by Dana, aka my favorite world traveller, aka Kabardina.

If i tag you then do the questions and pick 11 other questions and tag whoever cause it might be rad who knows buddy!

1. fave era?

i've always liked studying colonial times in America, but I'm recently super fascinated with the late Roman Empire, mostly culture and architecture.

2. craziest item of clothing?

I don't think I own a single item of crazy clothing. I have the world's most neutral closet.

3. secret talent?

I'm a pretty good singer, and I read ridiculously fast.

4. celebrity crush?

Aaron Tveit, maybe? I don't know, I'm not a big celebrity crush person.

5. dream job (tell the truth)?

travelling photographer

6. favorite show as of late?

I just finished the last season of Chuck last night, and I'm so bummed that I finished it, because it was amazing. I'm watching Arrow now, and it's pretty great, especially for a CW show. Parenthood is always a fave.

7. plans for 2014?

Go to Italy, turn 20 (WHAT?!), celebrate 4 years with Joey, do Junior year of college, get engaged at some point.

8. best impression you can do (bonus points for a follow up video)?

I have a pretty decent British accent. And I used to have a dead-ringer impression of my favorite history teacher in high school.

psh.... I don't even remember. I don't particularly like concerts.

10. top three songs as of late?

In my Veins-- Andrew Belle and Erin McCarley

Skin-- Zola Jesus

Weight of the World-- Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors

11. link to your latest selfie

Being home with my family and Joey for Christmas and New Year's

3. What childhood dream could you fulfill if you had unlimited money?

My only childhood dream was to rule the world, so I guess I'd go with that.

4. Least favorite song by your favorite band?

Hmm... I'll go with Tenth Avenue North as my favorite band, and I'll choose All The Same as my least favorite song.

5. When is your birthday?

May 31, 1994. I'll be in Italy on my next birthday.

6. If you had to pick a favorite parent, would it be your mom or your dad?

Mom

7. Can you cook?

Yes. My mom thinks I can't and she's somehow failed me as a parent, but I definitely can cook (and bake). Especially pasta. I love pasta!

The day Jesus was crucified.

2, 15, 27 (:

2) Zodiac sign: Gemini! Which means, of course, that my birthday is coming up! One week from today! :D

What are you all getting me?

15) Favorite quote: "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

27) Meaning behind my url: I actually don't really know, which is funny... because my previous url (strongereveryday) was really personal. It's obviously connected to my obsession with beauty; but I think it also has to do with my desire to kind of "roll back" beautiful things to see what's inside. I like to discover what lies beneath. At least, that's what my url means to me today. It's meant different things at different times.

6: If you were a crayon what color would you be? 

Well, the really pretty blue green was always my favorite in the box, but I'm definitely some shade of purple!

21: Favorite Day of the Year?

My birthday, of course! I always get super excited. This year is the most special ever- I'm graduating and turning 18 on the same day. I'm psyched!

38: Favorite flower?

Lilies! But I also really love gerber daisies- those are the ones that come in the brightest colors: orange, green, hot pink. So pretty!
