1.  What is your favorite word?
I have too many favorite words... Today, my favorite word is incandescent, when used as an adjective. (E.G. Incandescent bliss".)

2. Describe your earliest memory.
On a sunny afternoon in California, my dad is holding me. I had my head resting on his shoulder, drifting in and out of sleep. I was at least three because we didn't move to Oklahoma until October of 1993.

3. It’s your 21^st birthday, and you are the head of the party planning committee; with an unlimited budget, who is on your guest list (living, non-living, fictional) and what is the theme of your party? 

I would have my party at a beach resort. Maybe somewhere in the West Keys because I've never been to Florida, but I know it's gorgeous. The party would be a weekend affair but on my birthday, we'd all head down to the beach early in the morning for breakfast, the sunrise, surfing lessons, and naps in the sun (with tons of hammocks draped everywhere). The day would proceed in the same manner until right before sundown, when everyone would get all prettied up for dinner. Dinner would be really formal with key lime pie as my birthday cake, naturally. Afterward we'd have a huge dance party. Of course, since it's my 21st birthday, there would be an open bar. We'd all dance and party it up until whenever, then we'd all throw our bathing suits back on and go for a moonlit swim. We'd continue partying until the sun comes up again, which calls for another breakfast on the beach, starting where it all began.
The guest list would include my brother, my sister and her husband, Abbie, my friends Teri, Brooke, and Amirha, my cousins Ben and Christina, Georgia Nicholson (character from a series by Louis Rennison), Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber (because I have Beiber fever, sorry lol), Harry Connick Jr., the main Harry Potter actors (as their normal selves) Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, Albus Dumbldore (as he exists in Harry Potter), Girl Talk (so he could dj all night), you and whoever else on the island that knows how to party.

4.  What is your favorite place to be alone with your thoughts?
Outside, in the woods or in my room.

5.  What is your favorite place to be alone with someone else?
Somewhere near a body of water on a dock.

6.   Which do you prefer: sunrise or sunset? Why?
Both. When the sun is out, I feel alive. I love being awake before and after the sun is out because that's my favorite time to be alone.

7.   Shoes, sandals, or barefoot?
All of the above. Cute shoes when they match my outfit, sandals when I'm playing outside, and barefoot every other second of the day.

8.   If you were a musical instrument, what would you be? Why?
A piano because I'm classy and beautiful.

9.  If you could go back and relive any moment in your life, without changing anything, simply to be in that moment again and experience it knowing what you know now, what would it be?
I'd like to see my memory of the last time my parent's kissed each other. That's the only way I know that they did once love each other.

10.   With an unlimited budget, what would be your dream tattoo(s) and piercing(s)?
Well, I'm going to get a half sleeve on my left arm with all of my favorite images collaged into one beautiful piece. I'll make a blog of pictures that have all the different elements that I want for you so you can get an idea.

11.   What is your favorite vacation spot? Least favorite?
I've never been on a real vacation, so I'll say my least favorite place to vacation is my room.

12.   Which HP book is your favorite? Why?
The Sorcerer's Stone, the first one because I love the beautiful transition from Harry's crap life to his discovery of magic. It's so enchanting.

13.   What is your favorite quote?
 "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
-Anias Nin

14.   Which do you prefer: Beach or mountains? Why?
Beach. I don't like the cold, which calcels out the mountains. And I love being in water with the sun all warm and bright.

15.   First kiss? Last kiss?
First kiss:
My first boyfriend, Dalton. We'd been dating for about five months, but weren't allowed to be "official" (whatever the hell that means, Mom) until I was sixteen. That night, we went in a huge group to a Project 86 and Spoken concert for my best's friends birthday. We'd moshed all night and it was phenomenal. He took me home but, before I got out of the car, he decided not to wait until I turned 16 to kiss me. So we made out for an hour, and I made it inside at like 2 in the morning on a school night. Pure magic. :)
Last Kiss:
My last boyfriend, James, on Thanksgiving after spending all day together eating with our families. When I went to bed, I got a text from my friend informing me that he cheated on me seven days before. So that was the end of that.

16.   If the moon was made of cheese, would you eat it?
Heck yes. I'm hoping it's pepper jack or Havarti dill. Heck, I'd settle for cheddar. I freaking love cheese.

17.   What is your favorite verse in the bible? Chapter? Book? Version? Why?
"Everything is beautiful is His timing." (Ecclesiastes 3:11) because it's a promise to me that, despite all of the struggles I've had in my life if I stay in His love, it will all be worth it. I know that's true because he's slowly fulfilling that promise through friendships. When I share what I've learned by mistakes I've made, I can see His love coming through my wounds and bringing healing to me and others. It's all beautiful.

18.   If you could have a shopping spree at any store, what would it be?
American Apparel. I love their designs, their objective, and their textiles. It's all such high quality stuff.

19.   Right handed or left handed?
Right handed, left footed.

20.   Favorite part of your body? Favorite part of someone else’s body?
My skin because it's well-behaved and people envy my natural tan. It's an ego boost for sure.

I like mouths. Teeth, lips, and mannerisms. You can tell moods, amount of confidence, and about who someone is by the words they say and the songs they sing. ("Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." -Matthew 12:34)

21.   If you could commit any crime, and there would be no consequences, what would the crime be?
Well, I already do it and get away with it. Underage drinking.

22.   If you could take a lomograph of anything in the whole world, what would it be?
Tim Burton and Hillary Bonham Carter's house. They'r both creative geniuses so I imagine inside their house would be a mind-blowing reflection of that.

23.   Do you have a lucky number?
Nope.

24.   What is your favorite color?
I have two. Purple and green. I can't decide between the two but, judging by my wardrobe, I guess purple.
