kinelea wanted to know:
1. Who are three of your favourite authors?
This is horribly cruel and unusual and I'm holding it against you for the rest of your life.
Jane Austen
Ami McKay
Sarah Waters
2. Who inspires you?
Jo March, Anne Shirley, Sara Crewe, Pippi Longstocking, and Mary Lennox. Because they all taught me
to be who I am regardless of what other people think
to go after what I want regardless of obstacles in my way
to let go of pride, lest I have to chop off all my hair
to show kindness even when others are cruel
to see the possibility even in the impossible
to always read the labels, lest it be currant wine and not raspberry cordial
to forgive myself even when I really really screw up
to stand up for myself and others even if it gets me in trouble or I'm afraid
to smile and cry and laugh and never give up even when things are at their worst.
3. Name one thing you hope to accomplish in the future.
Write something that changes someone's life, in however tiny a way.
4. What is your favourite season of the year?
That time right at the end of summer, as it merges into fall. The day is warm and sunny, but from dusk to dawn the air is crisp. It tastes like hot and cold, like storms and life and laying down for a nap. Big baggy sweaters and shorts.
5. Dogs or cats?
Cats.
6. Batman or Superman?
Storm.
7. What do you think your best physical feature is?
Probably my eyes or my collarbones.
8. What was your favourite toy when you were a kid?
Like toy toys? I don't really remember. I really liked skipping ropes, and my stuffed raccoon Ricky. And books. Anything with a strong leading lady.
9. How many siblings do you have, if any?
Zero.
10. Dean, Cas or Sam?
Pamela
11. What’s your favourite city you’ve ever visited?
It used to be Montreal, but now I live there for half the year so I don't think it counts.
Minneapolis for the eco-cleanliness. New York for the food. London for the connection. Paris for the feel. Barcelona for the architecture. All of the above for the shopping.
MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU
What are four of your favourite foods?
Who in the world do you most want to spend a day with?
What is your best attribute?

I'd like to hear about 30, 48, and 74 if you don't mind.
30. Does everyone deserve a second chance?
Yes. If they show that they really do want to better themselves/make up for what they did wrong. But when I say second chance, I seriously mean second. Two chances. Third strike, you're out.
48. Do you sing in the shower?
Yup.
74. What is your favorite book?
This is impossible so I'll give you some of the ones I love off the top of my head.
