15. Favorite quote:I’ve said it before, but I really love the litany against fear from the Dune saga by Frank Herbert. “I shall not fear. Fear is the mindkiller. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. When the fear is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
16. Favorite place:Hmm.. that one’s tough. Either my room or the Constable Tattoo Parlor.
19. What am I listening to right now:I’m listening to Franz Ferdinand, specifically “What She Came For.”
I would just like to mention that in the picture she tweeted of herself and j2 there is a ring on her left hand. *as far as I know she isn't married in real life

Rules:
Boo, who needs rules. I'm answering your questions, posting new ones, and I'll let anyone who wants to answer them do it!
QUESTIONS:
1: What fictional character do you feel describes you best?
Oh wow. This is really hard, because I identify and relate to so very many. However, I feel the deepest connection to Eleven and Dean Winchester. Also, Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls, haha.
2:What is one thing you could not live without?
Oxygen, haha. But uhm, I'd have a pretty hard time living without the internet now. All of my friends are here, and it's kind of like home if that makes any sense?
3: What do you think you are best at?
Like, the thing of all the things that I do that I do best? Or a thing that I'm totally the best ever at? Either way, I'm not really sure. I'm fairly good at quite a few things, but I know I'm not the best to ever do them.
4:What is one useless skill you posses?
I have ridiculous trivial knowledge. I'm gonna count that.
5:What is your favorite quote?
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
The litany against fear from Dune by Frank Herbert.
6:If you could have someone from any time in history come over for dinner, who would it be?
You know, I have absolutely no idea. There's so many wonderful options and I'd be happy with any of them!
7:Rain or Shine?
Oooh, tough. I'll go with rain, because nothing beats a walk in a summer rain, or snuggling on the couch listening to the soft drum of raindrops against the window.
8:If you could travel anywhere in time, where would you go?
Hmm. I think I'd like to go to New York, 1917, so I could see the scandal caused by the debut of one of my favorite art pieces- The Fountain.
9: Favorite musical?
You can't make me choose. I love Doctor Dolittle and Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Sound of Music and Dr. Horrible and--!!! Musicals make me happy. They were pretty much my entire childhood.
10:Rightie or Leftie?
I'm a rightie.
11:What’s green, hangs on a wall, and whistles?
Huh. I dunno. That'd make for a pretty cool clock, though.
PART TWO:
1. What inspires you?
People. Music. Art. Life.
2.Has a song ever brought you to tears, and if so what was it?
So many songs have brought me to tears, it would be impractical to list them all. However, I think the most recent example was the other day when I was singing along to "100 Words" by AFI.
3. What is an animal that is completely impractical to have as a pet that you would want for a pet?
I don't know, since impractical pets really shouldn't be pets? But... I suppose I'd go with a potbellied pig. They're cute, and really intelligent, and sort of awesome. But I'll never have the kind of environment needed for one.
4. What is the last song you sang along with in your car?
In my car, I think the last one that was on may have been "Sluttering (May 4th)" by Jawbreaker.
5. You’re moving and you can only take ONE book with you, what do you take?
Only one? Ugh. Why? I suppose I'll go with Grendel. It's got all of these great notes from when I was in AP lit, and it's got a lot of memories tied to it, and just... meant an awful lot to me.
6. What movie(s) can you quote word for word?
The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Princess Bride, LOTR, Bill and Ted, Robin Hood: Men In Tights, and like a zillion others.
7. What is your least favorite song ever?
I don't know. Songs I don't like, I just kind of ignore and pretend they don't exist. xD
8. What is your rainy day routine (provided you don’t have school/work)?
I'll usually stay in bed for a good while longer, warm and comfortable and listening to the rain on the roof and the window- and probably watching through one of them. Then I'll move to the living room and watch movies and drink tea, still with my blanket. And depending on the time of year, I might put on clothes and go for a walk in it.
9. Favorite comfort food?
Probably mashed potatoes and gravy.
10. Most awkward public moment?
My coming out was really awkward. I was in 8th grade, and I was running the student council nacho sale at lunch- obviously, it was really busy and I was 13 so I was kind of stressed out- when a couple of the guys who were on student council with me (don't ask me why they weren't working) come up and ask something along the lines of "Is it true that you're dating a girl?" And I just kind of spun around and looked at them exasperated and went "YES, okay?! Now did you need anything else? Or can I get back to this?" ...so that was pretty awkward. Especially when everyone seemed to know about it by the next day. :/
11.Do you have a favorite cup?
I do! My favorite is my disappearing TARDIS mug. :)
MY QUESTIONS:
1. What are you most afraid of and why?
2. What was your favorite toy as a child?
3. If you could meet any fictional character, who would you choose and why?
4. What dessert is your absolute favorite?
5. If you could only listen to 5 albums for the rest of your life, which ones would you choose?
6. Do you have a favorite shirt? If so, what is it?
7. What event do you think has had the biggest influence on your life?
8. Tell me a joke!
9. Who has been the biggest inspiration to you?
10. What makes you the absolute happiest?
11. If you had been allowed to pick your own name, what would you have chosen?
Hi I'm Rachel, I'm an amateur crafter that enjoys perfume and reading. My favorite color is teal/sea foam. I have 2 cats, Polly and Puff. My favorite ships are pirate ships. I like mint chocolate chip and turtles and cream flavors.
What's up with all of the recent James Dean porn? Not that I'm complaining, I'm actually really happy about it.
I was totally obsessed with him in high school. I just realized this week that he was my first rage-inducing attractive famous person. I’m sort of basking in it. (Like 1/3 of my AP Art portfolio was his face.)
