Abigail's Blog Parade

 My dear friend Abigail Kraft is having a lovely blog party so head over and check it out! 


What's your favorite time of the day, and why?
 I am a total Night Owl! Oh my, I have so much energy between 10pm and 2am it's almost crazy. That's when I do my best writing, poetry, songwriting, crafting, thinking, and organizing done at.


 I also love the time between 6:30am and 10am or anytime when things are still in the house. I haven't gotten up early lately because of the MN winter... but in the summer, spring, and fall I like to get up and have my quiet time before the house starts to stir. 

 If health wasn't an issue, what food could you live off of?

 Chocolate... lots and lots of chocolate....

 If you could have one wish granted (besides wishing for more wishes), what would it be?

 Oooo... this is a toughy. Currently I wish for an ity bity black baby sister. I know, our adoption of our two adorable little boys is not yet complete, but a girl can dream, right? 

 What's one thing that you get teased about a lot?

 Oh man... I get teased so often about so many things... but the most would probably be how much I talk

 If you could choose one movie, book, or TV show to spend your life in, which would you pick? What type of character would you be?

 After thinking it over a bit... Anne of Green Gables would be perfect. 


  Living in Nova Scotia on Prince Edward Island would be so amazing!! I've always had a kindred spiritness with Anne as well. We both talk too much, have big imaginations, have a bad temper, and love "The Lady of Shallot" (by Lord Alfred Tennyson). Also, I've had a crush on Glibert since I was five... 

 If you could have one talent that you don't already have, what would it be?
 Hmmm... I think to be able to ski like Lindsey Vonn. I love skiing and was even thinking of joining the ski team last year, but it's a really spendy sport. I've always gone skiing with people who have skied since they could walk, so I've always been the worst in my group and it would be awesome to REALLY be able to ski.





 If money were no object, where would you go on vacation?
 A leisurely tour of the UK. I couldn't decide between England and Ireland... so I would go to both! And go visiting castles in Scotland and goind to Iceland and maybe even Wales... yes... that would be positively DIVINE!! 

 If you were an awesome singer, which genre would you sing?

 Well I am a singer... not awesome at all... but a singer non the less and I think I would stick with my current genre of acoustic coffee shop feeling music with a bit of a jazz and folk twist. Just think of Sara Bareillles, Regina Spector, Sara Groves, and JJ Heller with maybe a twist of Nora Jones. 

 If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, what would it be?

 I want to say the largest thrift store in the world... but that would be too much stuff. So I think Barnes and Nobel would be awesome. Or Target. Target would probably be the most realistic and I love Target. :D

 If you could live in any point in time, when would it be?

 Late 1700s - early 1800s... oh, in England. Yes, I may have been reading too many Jane Austen novels and British Litt this year, but I truly love it! Oh, to wear cap sleeved empire waist dresses every day and go to town balls. It would be epic!

 If every outfit in your wardrobe had to be one color, what would it be?

 Yellow. :D 


 If you were one of the seven dwarves, which one would you be? (Doc, Grumpy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, Happy, or Dopey)
  Well today I am literally Sneezy, but if I could chose, I would definitely be Happy.

 What's the last album you listened to?

 Phantom of the Opera soundtract - the version from the London stage.

 What's something we'd be surprised to know about you?

 It's my secret dream to join the circus. 
 Okay, not really.... truthfully... I'd say the fact that I want to work with prostitutes and sex slaves particularly in the counseling/rehabilitating process is usually a shocker to most people.
