A list of my favorite things, in honor of the holidays and the song I can’t seem to get out of my head right now!
~ romantic comedy
First question and it’s a hard one! Of all time? I’d have to say Sixteen Candles. John Hughes at his best. We all had those seemingly unattainable crushes in high school so this one just hits home. It may show my age but it’s a timeless classic!

~ national park
Easy. Yellowstone National Park. I live an hour from both the north and the west entrances. It’s beautiful and eerie. No matter how many times I go, I still find something new, some new part to explore. Of course I try to avoid it when it’s high tourist season…

~ type of weather
I like sun, of course, but I LOVE rainy, dreary days. The kind that make you want to curl up on the couch with a good book or a movie.

~ foreign accent
Scottish or Irish for sure. Gerard Butler can talk to me all day…sigh

~ winter olympic sport
Hockey!!

~ part of your love interest's body
I love nice, ropey, muscled forearms. Especially if they are tattooed!

~ breakfast cereal
Cocoa Puffs and Captain Crunch Berries. I’m still a kid when it comes to cereal

~ political figure
Does the Dali Lama count? Sure why not. The Dali Lama for sure!

~ magazine/periodical
National Geographic. I have stacks of them in my house. Never gets old looking at their photos.

~ toy from childhood
Barbie. Had some epic Barbie play times with my sister.

~ tattoo that you have
My fleur de lis. It’s on the top of my right wrist and has a skull in the middle. LOVE it, the artist did an amazing job. Now I have the itch…

~ pie
Banana cream!

~ day of the year
Christmas and opening day of football season

~ genre of music
Always a rock girl at heart!

~ flower
Orchid. I have expensive taste.

~ movie musical
Rock of Ages…amazing music

~ screen kiss
The kiss at the end of Pride and Prejudice (the version with Kiera Knightenly).

~ curse word or phrase to say
Probably best not to say it here!

~ musical 'genius'
Ville Valo – Lead singer for the Finnish band HIM – his lyrical genius just gets me every time. That man has a way with words.

~ 'battle scene' from a movie
The one outside Minas Tirath (spelling?) in The Return of the King, Lord of the Rings. EPIC!

~ music to get your groove on
Usher!

~ thing about your family
That I can consider them some of my best friends

~ way to travel
Plane, because it’s quicker but nothing beats a good road trip!

~ cause
Humanitarian work

~ candy bar
Not a big candy bar person…I guess maybe a Baby Ruth or Milky Way


~ thing about your work
Day job at a hotel – the people and interacting with them
Writing – being able to create my own worlds and rules

~ horror movie
Mama! Still have a hard time watching that one all the way through!

~ sport to play
Football is fun, without the tackling. Volleyball. Channel Surfing haha

~ band to see live
Godsmack! And surprisingly, Nickelback

~ video game
CALL OF DUTY!!!!!!
