Fruit ask is here!! Blackberry and blueberry :3
Hello! Thanks so much ^-^
Blackberry: What’s your favorite book?
Gosh, asking the hard questions. Hands down, anything Tolkien is my fave- Hobbit series, Lord of the Rings series, and the Silmarillion.
I’m also rather fond of Lunar Chronicles (a series) by Marissa Meyer (the first in the series is Cinder), The Wing Series by Aprilynne Pike (you’ll have to scroll down just a bit to find it), Generation Dead by Daniel Waters (leads to wikipedia page and I have to admit, I only like the first book in the series, which can be read alone I suppose), Mermaid: A Twist On The Classic Tale by Carolyn Turgeon (apparently there’s a movie of that one coming out???!), The Syrena Legacy Series by Anna Banks (first in series is Of Poseidon) and like a whole bunch of others. I have a thing for fantasy.
Blueberry: What’s your favorite childhood memory?
Oh another tough one. I don’t really remember too much from my childhood. But I think my favorite memory is anything involving my neighbors’.
I lived in the same house for like 13 to 14 years or so and we had the same neighbors that whole time- an elderly woman who had a passion for gardening that was mildly scary and a Mexican family (two parents and like five kids, two of which were my age, one is like six years younger than I am, and two are like a lot older than I am). And my whole life, from ages two 1/2-3 to about 14 (almost 15), was spent there.
The large family was like a second family to me and like all my memories with them are good ones. Riding our bikes to the ice cream shop. Playing in the mud in the backyard. Making a ‘slide’ on the stairs. Riding our bikes literally everywhere and having so much riding up the hills and going fast down them onto a makeshift ramp (haha and guess who was the one who always got hurt- yeah, it was me). Making curly fries. Finding new recipes to try. Going to each others’ churches. Making forts in the living room that are so big that Mom got mad at us for making a mess. Wrestling each other on the deck by the pool (if you ended up being tossed into the pool you lost).
And the elderly woman was the sweetest soul ever. She was just so sweet, really. I would visit with her a lot as a kid and check up on her, help her with her gardening occasionally, play with her two nieces who visited sometimes. I always made cookies and would give her some. She was just so sweet.
Of course, even like now, two years after moving (almost three I think), I still keep in touch with the large family (or at least I keep in touch with a few of them, it’s hard to stay in contact with all of them).
Probably too much information, lol.
Thanks so much for asking!!!
