I have jewellery, clothing, books, dvds, wands, other collectibles. I read the books with my mum when i was younger and watched all of the films in the cinema with her. she had her own HP merch. My wife also loves Harry Potter. We have been to see Cursed Child twice and have been to the Studio Tour 3 (or 4?) times. We had a Harry Potter themed wedding which was absolutely perfect. Hunger Games was something i avoided reading until the first film was coming out, and then absolutely loved the first 2 books (3rd one got too political for me) and the films are still some of my favourites for costume and set design. I read the twilight books after my best friend recommended them to me. We all actually read them as part of our sisterhood club. I went to blackpool to watch the first film in the cinema with my best friend. I watched the last one at midnight with my wife and one of the girls from the sisterhood who is one of the biggest twilight fans i know still. she has behind the scenes books and dvds and has re read the books that much that the spines are just gone. my mum was also a big twilight fan and would watch them any time they were on tv. i watched a few at the cinema with her, always her choice. she hadnt seen hunger games at the time of them being released but we did watch them all with her a few years ago

7. What is the last thing you said out loud?

- “Ow.” I smacked myself in the face with a bowl when I went to funnel Fritos into my mouth........

8. What is your favourite ice cream?

- I’m the person that gets cotton candy or bubble gum lol. But I do really like coffee Oreo or anything caramel!

9. What is the last thing you had to drink?

- A Smirnoff raspberry rosé seltzer. They’re pretty sweet, but tasty nonetheless. 

10. Do you like your wallet?

- Yes! I’ve been a sucker for Coach since I was little, and even as my taste has evolved (read: gotten significantly more expensive), I always like to have a Coach wallet. Right now I have a dusty blue croc “skin” trifold that serves me well!

11. What was the last thing you ate?

-Fritos, before I smacked myself in the face with the bowl. 

12. Did you buy new clothes last weekend?

- No, but I bought a lamp! And I found some old Barnes and Nobles gift cards and ordered a book. But I work in retail, so I usually say yes to this question lol.

13. The last sporting event you watched?

-XFL. I wanted to be a Seattle Dragons fan, and I’m so bummed about the league folding.

14. What is your favourite flavour of popcorn?

-I’m not a huge popcorn fan, but I do love it when it’s chocolate-coated. Otherwise just a shit ton of butter. *WAIT NO, I lied. My neighbor makes this insane curry powder popcorn and it’s to die for.

15. Who is the last person who sent a text message to?

-Last person I messaged? @princesszorldo. Last person I texted? My dad (who is upstairs haha) to congratulate him in 27 years living in the United States.

- Kind of. I’ve never done the full on “tent on a camp site or in the woods”, but I’ve camped out in tents on retreats and I’ve gone to sleep away  camp.

17. Do you take vitamins?

-I ought to. I take a liquid multi and calcium sometimes, but I’m on so many meds that I have an aversion to taking pills when I don’t absolutely need to.

18. Do you go to church every Sunday?

- I used to. That’s a tricky subject for me, but I usually respond to religion with “I’m a Christian, but I don’t support institutionalized religion and the modern Christian church doesn’t widely reflect what I value and see the faith to be about”.

19. Do you have a tan?

22. What colour socks do you usually wear?

- Usually white, but black if I’m working or going somewhere nice.

23. Do you ever drive above the speed limit?

- Not really. But I don’t really drive. I live right in the city and it’s so much easier to bus or take ride share. I’ve been able to drive since I was fifteen, but I got my license at nearly twenty-one. And I don’t have a car. I actually *hit* another car during my drive test and played dumb and the lady still passed me! Soooooo, I don't drive over the limit by way of I don't really drive. But I probably would if I drove more.

24. What terrifies you?

-Not being understood. Moths. The concept of eternity.

- @princesszorldo lol. And H2o

28. What’s your favourite soda?

-My friends tell me that orange Hi-C doesn’t count, but it does to me. I also like a nice lil Coca Light when I’m in Europe. I’m sure they have a different formula bc it just hits different.

29. Do you go in a fast food place or just hit the drive?

- Drive-Thru!!! I hate getting out of the car if I don’t have to.

30. What’s your favourite number?

-16 bc I was born on the 16th.

- Lol @princesszorldo. She’s basically the only person that I’m in regular communication with who I can stand right now.

35. Favourite day of the week?

-Friday! I miss happy hour and bar hopping. And dancing. And ditching my friends without saying anything bc I’m done with them and going for a hot dog at the good food cart by the Shell station.

36. Can you say the alphabet backwards?

- I learned in 7th grade bc I was being bullied and that’s what I would do to distract myself in class. But now it’s a cool party trick!

37. How do you like your coffee?

-COFFEEEEEEE. I take it lots of ways. If I’m camping or need something asap? Drip with half and half, and with honey and cinnamon if there’s any. At home? Stok cold brew with hazelnut creamer. On my way to and from work? Usually an iced vanilla latte or an iced white mocha. 

38. Favourite pair of shoes?

- My blue crocs. Or I have some baby pink Swedish Hasbeen clogs that I love! Or my maroon docs. But I wear my Sam Edelman pointy-toed booties the most bc I’m “highly encouraged” to wear heels to work.

39. Time you normally get up?

-For work? Between 6:30 and 7:30am. Lately? Noon. And that’s on narcolepsy and quarantine, periodt.

40. What do you prefer sunrise or sunset?

- Sunset bc I’m actually awake lol.

41. How many blankets on your bed?

- Two. I sleep with just a weighted blanket, but I have a duvet on the half of my bed that I don’t sleep on.

42. Describe your kitchen plates?

- Lol what. They’re blue. From Costco. I don’t like the size range that the set came in, but whatever. 

43. Describe your kitchen at the moment?

- There are sugar ants coming from somewhere, so a lot of our food is sitting on the dining room table lol. Fun fact! Pam spray kills those fuckers on sight. My mother isn’t happy that I figured that out.

44. Do you have a favourite alcoholic drink?

- Vodka tonics, usually. I love cider and seltzers. I’m a big tequila fan, but I’ve got to commit to that. I can’t have beer bc gluten hates me, and I can’t have Jäger anymore bc living in Prague funneled way too much of that shit through my esophagus, 

45. Do you play cards?

- I love games, but especially cards! Nerts, BS, speed, spoons.... I pick up new random games all the time, but those are some favorites.

46. What colour is your car?

- What car? If I had one it would be orange and obnoxious. Probably a Subaru Outback bc Seattle tings.

47. Can you change a tire?

- Bruh. After all of that do I sound like someone who can change a tire?

48. Your favourite state?

- WASHINGTON. Oregon and California get honorable mentions, though. I want to like New York, but I haven’t been. I feel like I would like Massachusetts, too. I’m fond of Texas, but that’s a complicated love lol.

49. Favourite job you’ve had?

- I like my current job (finally)! I’m a bridal stylist, and while there were some people on staff that were tough, I love working with brides and I was excited to learn that I quickly became one of the top sellers on my team!

50. How did you get your scar?

- Right wrist is from when I burned myself on the toaster oven when I was five. Left wrist from when Elly scratched me on the playground in third grade and the front office lady wouldn't let me go to the nurse bc she was friends with Elly’s mom and said “that’s what I deserved”. Left knee.....definitely not from falling after a night out.... Lots of old keloid scars on my ears from piercings. I had a cyst removed and that bad boy did not heal up nicely. Lovely. I mostly sprain and break things, though.

@princesszorldo here’s something to do while in quarantine lol
