4)What is your next literature book you will read for school?

No idea...

5) Post an excerpt of your fictional writing.

“It was funny the things you noticed before a battle – the dust in the air hanging as if suspended in time. Drale almost wanted to part it with his hands and see what lay beyond. The huge pines cast shadows on the glad above the town and in the calm that descended Drale drew his sword and faced his attackers in a pool of liquid moonlight.”
― Elizabeth Novak

“There’s more ways to stop a man then with an arrow in the heart!” the first shaft struck Drale in the shoulder and the moon blossomed red through the dust suddenly swirling in murky streams. Drale cleared his head and charged into his enemies sword raised high above his head, then a cloud covered the moon and the forest went black.”
― Elizabeth Novak

6) What is the most catchy song you know?

Probably Stuck in Your Head by Julian Smith

11) What are the five most applicable quotations you know? (applicable to life, I mean; applicable in the most circumstances.)

Alice: “Do you think I've gone round the bend?"
Alice's Father: "I'm afraid so. You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.”
― Alice in Wonderland

“Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.”
― Cornelia Funke, Inkheart

“Humor is the spiciest condiment in the feast of existence. Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them, joke over your troubles but gather strength from them, make a jest of your difficulties but overcome them.”
― L.M. Montgomery

“The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning whereas the experience gained form actual life is of the nature of wisdom. ”
― Samuel Smiles

“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.”
― Abraham Lincoln

1) What is your earliest memory from your childhood?

Playing in the attic. It had one window where I could look out to see a big tree and there was a robin singing in it.

2) You have a choice of being given any super-power; what is it?

Well go figure, you would pick a question that I have no idea about. I've been trying to figure that one out forever.

Maybe to heal people....

3) Describe to me that outfit in your head, the one you wish you had so badly...

And here it is really hard not to copy my blogging friend Nessima. She just described my dream outfit to a T.

"Dark greyish-greenish (but mostly grey-ish) pants; slightly looser than skin-tight and flexible, (not baggy; an earthy-brown or earthy-green tunic (v-necked and long-sleeved) that hangs down to mid-thigh, at the waist: a long and flexible tooled-leather belt, from which hangs a pouch of neccisities (i.e. assorted herbs, some food, possibly a booklet on survival tactics, and any other items.) and, of course a scabbard containing a hobbit sword; leather arm guards, the kind used by archers; a grey-green hooded cloak, light-weight but weather proof (and Elven leaf clasp would do nicely); soft brown leather (suede, preferably) boots that rise mid-calf, with soles that are soft flexible, while still being super-tough (I imagine climbing trees and stalking silently over leaves and twigs would be easier with soft flexible soled boots); and at my back is a beautifully crafted-bow and quiver of arrow. As for my hair: a small braid coming down from the top of my head on each side to be tied together at the back, then braided into a single braid hanging down my back (or the braid commonly reffered to as "Katniss's Braid"...). At my neck, my wooden cross necklace.

The point of the outfit (in case you didn't get it): to blend in with the forest, to be practical and comfortable, light but warm, and to be just plain awesome. Basically, a female ranger of the North (or Ithilien; personally, I prefer Ithilien.).

4) What's your favorite musical instrument? What image comes to mind when you think of this instrument? Violin.

5) Would you rather be divinely beautiful, angelically good, or dazzingly clever?

Definitely dazzlingly clever.

6) Are you more likely to be found in an old attic with your nose in a book, or will you be hanging out at the mall with your besties?

7) If you could've been born in any time period (other than your own), what would it be?

Any time between 500 A.D and 1500 A.D. Most perfurabley in England

8) Is your preferred weapon a bow and a quiver of arrows, or a magnificently wrought sword (you're allowed to be all clever and say "wit")?

A bow and quiver of arrows.

9) Your preferred mode of travel?
