😎 🐱 🍿 from the munday asks!
😎 - Why did you choose your mun name? Does it mean something to you?
I'm very unoriginal so I just go by my actual given name of Miranda. I really like it because it's from The Tempest by Shakespeare. Miranda was the daughter of Prospero, Duke of Milan. He was usurped from the thrown because he was too busy meddling with magic to actually run Milan so he and his like 3 year old daughter get sent off to sea to die. They end up on an island and she grows up there with her father and his magic. He has some spirits that work for him etc. It's really cool! Her character can be kind of flat depending on the performance but I always thought it was so cool to have a dad like Prospero. My dad is very much into science and history so I pretend that's his form of magic. :)
🐱 - Do you have any pets?
I do! We have four official cats in my home. One of them is 'my' cat, Inara. And she is lovely. I adore her. She's getting a bit older now compared to the others. Somehow she went from the youngest to the oldest in the last few years. We have 3 others named 'Momma Cat' aka I forget right now my brain is tired and we always just call her momma cat (not Inara's mom; she sadly passed away earlier this year), and her two 'kittens' (they're like 3-4 now) Oatmeal (baby cat) and Soot(ball). Soot used to look like the little soot spirits from Spirited Away as a kitten. Just big eyes look out of a poof of fur.
🍿 - What’s your favorite movie?
This is really hard. I kind of have two.
One is "Red Eye" with Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams. LOVE this movie so much. I have some memorabilia from it like a hat and the Frankenstein's monster pen that makes an appearance. "The story follows a hotel manager ensnared in an assassination plot by a terrorist (he likes to call himself a manager) while aboard a red-eye flight to Miami." I watch it every time I am on an airplane. I'm weird like that. I just love this movie. And yes I have read so much fanfiction for it. I got problemz. lol
Second I would say "The Lady Vanishes" (2013 version). It's based off a novel of the same name by Ethel Lina White who was more popular at the time than Agatha Christie but has been forgotten over time. Hitchcock did a version that had added characters and was further from the book but I like the newer version more because it's closer to the original text. And the cast is so good! "Iris Carr goes on holiday and faints before she boards a train home. When she awakes, Miss Froy takes care of her. Later Miss Froy disappears, but no one except Iris remembers her being aboard." It's a CRAZY time. I highly recommend it if you like a good mystery thriller.
