\nTime to break some rules! So I’ve been tagged in this award twice and I did it twice (here<\/a> and here<\/a> if you want to see), but I’m frankly running out of facts to give about myself so I’m going to give you eleven facts about my trip to New York City and Philadelphia instead! But first I’m going to answer Alexa’s questions, because they’re good ones. Thanks Alexa @ Summer Snowflakes<\/a> for tagging me! I’m not going to tag anyone else because this tag has circulated so much. If you’d like to do this tag consider yourself nominated. You can check out this Liebster Award<\/a> on how to do it officially and use some of the questions I asked before.<\/span>

\nAlexa’s Questions:<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

1.)  If you could go back in time to any time, what time would it be?<\/b><\/span>
\nI really want to meet Leonardo DaVinci. He’s one of my favorite historical figures and a major inspiration to me. I went to an exhibition devoted to him last November, and it only fueled my love for him.<\/span>
\n

<\/span>
\n2.) What are your favorite hobbies (besides writing)?<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nI have a lot of hobbies. It’s hard to keep up with them all. I like playing video games, cooking, drawing, and sculpting.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Killer Bunny Bites from Allison’s Wonderland Recipes adapted with pork sirloin. This is to die for good.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n3.) What\u2019s your favorite character you\u2019ve ever written?<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nThis is always a hard question, but probably Bryce. I relate to him in a lot of ways, since he also struggles with depression. His relationship with his little brother touches me to no end, and I love his cat features.<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

<\/span>
\n
\n4.) Favorite character you\u2019ve ever read?<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nKatniss Everdeen. She was so well-fleshed out and realistic. I just love her. She’s so inspirational to me.<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\n5.) Favorite outfit?<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nI’m not a girly girl, but I do have a sense of geeky style. I have a lot of favorite outfits, but one of my favorite is my Twilight Princess tank top with triangle earrings that remind me of the triforce, wolf studs, and my fairy in a bottle necklace. I like to wear this with either shorts and sandals or jeans and leather books depending on the weather.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is the outfit though you can’t see everything too well.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n6.) What do you do to relax?<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nDrawing or video games relaxes me.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n7.) How many siblings do you have?<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nSeven. One whole sister, three half sisters, and three half brothers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n8.) Can you think of a single best day of your life?<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nSingle best day. Wow. That’s a little tough. I really, really enjoyed Valentine’s Day this past February. Valentine’s Day was never my favorite holiday since I haven’t had a boyfriend and it’s usually spent avoiding Facebook, but this past Valentine’s Day I was in Canada with one of my best friends in the world. We celebrated friendship love. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nHer mom made us a Valentine’s Day breakfast then my friend and I went to a gorgeous snowy wildlife reserve where we took pictures for hours of me in a red coat with a background of snow. She loves photography, and I like modeling as a hobby. That particular photo shoot was a mini dream of mine. The contrast of red and white is so beautiful to me. Then we went out for ice cream and went to church afterwards. That evening we enjoyed character chatting with each other in the evening. It was a wonderful day. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n9.) Do you have an all-time favorite quote\/motto?<\/b><\/span><\/span>
\nCan I pick a song? This song has really been on my mind a lot lately, and I really feel like the lyrics perfectly represent where I feel like I am in my life right now. It’s a short song called “Gravity” sung by Maaya Sakamoto from the anime Wolf’s Rain.<\/i><\/span><\/span>

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBeen a long road to follow,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBeen there and gone tomorrow,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWithout saying goodbye to yesterday.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAre the memories I hold<\/span><\/div>\n
\nStill valid?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOr have the tears<\/span><\/div>\n
\nDeluded them?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nMaybe this time tomorrow<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe rain will cease to follow<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd the mist will fade into one more today.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSomething, somewhere out there keeps calling.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAm I going home?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWill I hear someone<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSinging solace to the silent<\/span><\/div>\n
\nMoon?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nZero gravity, what’s it like?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n(Am I alone?)<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIs somebody there beyond these heavy, aching feet?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nStill the road keeps on telling me<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTo go on.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSomething is pulling me.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI feel the gravity<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOf it all.<\/span><\/div>\n
