Natalie's questions:

What genre of music do you like?

     I like a lot of soundtrack, but I also enjoy classical and artists like The PianoGuys and Jim Brickman.

Do you listen to Pandora?

     Yes, I do. I like to keep  it on either Jim Brickman radio or HTTYD radio.

What is your favorite band?

     Newsboys, The Afters, TobyMac.

Are you a fangirl?

     Not really. I get excited about movies I like, but I don't become an all-out fangirl.

What style of house do you prefer?

     I grew up in a split level, but I would probably prefer a duplex.

Do you watch TV every night?

     Pretty much, yes.

Do you drink coffee?

     ARE YOU CRAZY! I LOVE COFFEE!

Are you organized?

     Sort of. My room's not the neatest, but my bookshelf is.

How many hours a day do you spend on your school work?

     Around 3-6 hours each day. One of the benefits of being home-schooled.

How old are you?

     I'll be sixteen in March.

What color is your refrigerator? (random question)

     Black.

Sarah's questions:

Where were you born?

     I was born in Pennsylvania.

If you could be any ONE fictional character, whether from a book or movie, who would it be?

     I don't know. Maybe Kale from Donita K Paul's DragonKeeper Chronicles.

Do you prefer coffee or hot tea?

     Coffee all the way. But I did have a really good tea latte a few months ago.

If you had (or do have) an abundance of money, what is your ideal dream vacation?

     Probably a tour of Europe, Germany and Austria mostly.

If you could travel to any time period (medieval era, Western 1800's, 1950's, etc), where would you go?

     Post-Reformation. Many of the world's greatest musicians were at work during that time. I would like to hear Beethoven play his Moonlight Sonata.

Medieval or Futuristic?

     Medieval, most definitely.

Would you rather travel cross country in a plane or car?

     In a car, it takes much longer, but I wouldn't miss the pretty sites. In a car, it's much more comfortable and quicker, and I love taking off. Flying for sure.

If you could be either an Elf, Dwarf, or Hobbit, which would you be?

     Since I already have the ears and height, Elf. (yes, my ears are slightly pointed)

Do you prefer to play a musical instrument or just listen?

     I enjoy both. But I don't really have a preference.

Who is your best friend?

     This guy Michael at my church.

What is your favorite TV show?

     Stargate SG-1
