I don't know if I actually have 11 mutual followers I feel like I interact with enough to tag, hmm. I'm such a lurker.
Would you rather eat 100 pancakes or 100 waffles?
Waffles! More space for butter to hide in the little holes...
If you had the chance to start a completely new life with new friends, would you?
Hmm. I don't think so. MORE friends, maybe, because I tend to have very few, but the ones I do have are very close friends. My best friend of 20 years and I grew up together and while we've grown apart a bit in the last few years, we have so much shared history and inside jokes. And my other close friend and I have very different personalities, but we have so much in common, both in life and in fandoms (where else am I going to find someone who also likes classic movies, bluegrass music, and Broadway musicals?). So while I sometimes wish I had more friends, people to do things with or whatever, I wouldn't want to lose the friends I've got.
Favorite movie/TV soundtrack?
Well, I love musicals, so Les Miserables definitely comes first here. I also love Mamma Mia, Walk the Line, and Mrs. Henderson Presents. I also really love the Doctor Who soundtrack. Murray Gold is just brilliant. You get some of the expected sci-fi/dramatic background music, but also some just gorgeous pieces, like Doomsday or the different character themes or this.
The last dream you remember, described in 1 sentence. (?)
I honestly can't remember any right now.
Would you rather bring a life hero/role model back from the dead for a conversation, or meet them in their own time period?
Meet them in their own time period, definitely. Both because the period shaped who the person was and why, and you'd want to see how they fit into their own time, and also because I just love history. *looks around for the Doctor*
Favorite quote?
"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise." --Les Miserables
Sweet smelling candles or smoky smelling candles?
Sweet, but only fruity-sweet, not warm sweet, like vanilla. My favorite scents are bright citrus or berry. In the fall or winter, I like apple cinnamony scents, but nothing too warm and heavy like vanilla or too sweetly floral.
If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life (and still live), what would it be?
Oh dear. I'm going to go with either tacos or sausage gravy and biscuits. Or maybe plain glazed Krispy Kreme donuts.
Miniature tiger or miniature elephant?
Tiger, providing it was tame.
If someone offered you the ability to read minds - with no side effects - would you?
I don't think so. I worry too much about what people think of me--which is stupid, I know, but I can't help it--and while this might help in some cases, it would torture me to know exactly when people think I'm stupid or annoying or awkward - I'd never be able to face that person again from embarrassment. Plus, it seems you'd lose a lot of friends if you knew exactly what people thought of you all the time. Anyway, my own thoughts give me enough to worry about stress over.
Carpeted or hard floors?
Hard with lots of rugs, maybe. Carpet is nicer to walk on, but hard is easier to clean (speaking as one who has lived in an entirely carpeted apartment with unreliably house trained dogs). Plus, you can run and slide in your socks on hard floors.
My questions:
What is your favorite smell?
Five favorite words?
If you could live in any historical time period, when would it be?
What would be on your ideal sandwich and your ideal pizza?
If you could have any accent, what would it be?
How many people that you know in real life know about and/or read your Tumblr?
Theme song for your life, either overall or right now?
What would you name your hypothetical kids?
Heroes or villains?
How do you like your chocolate? Dark or milk? Fruits/nuts or just pure chocolate?
Favorite thing that is currently in your refrigerator?
Send this to all Tumblrs you love. There is no limit to how many people you can send this because the price of making someone smile is priceless. I am sending this to you because I love your Tumblr and I want you to know that I’ll follow you forever. Your Tumblr is perfect and absolutely beautiful. Keep doing your best here, keep smiling, keep being the beautiful and amazing person you are, and have a fantastic day.
JULIA. YOU ARE AWESOME. If my Tumblr is great in any way it's mostly because I reblog a great deal of YOUR blog, even if I've never really spoken to you.
You were my first follower and the first person I followed on Tumblr and we seem to like an extremely similar assortment of fandoms. (Also, your blog first introduced me to Tim Minchin and Cabin Pressure, which is now among my favorite things EVER.)
No one's ever sent me one of these before and it did make me smile. So thanks, and right back at you!
