Natasha's Questions for Me -
1. Which is your favorite season? (spring/summer/fall/winter)
Fall. Definitely. It is sometimes nice, cold and crisp. It is sometimes warm and breezy. Or it's that beautiful mixture of the two.
2. Do you watch more British TV shows or American?
That actually depends on whether or not you're talking about modern TV shows or old TV shows (1950s - 1970s). I watch a lot of old American TV shows from the 50s and 60s (
I Love Lucy, The Jack Benny Program, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and ect.). However, when it comes to modern shows I watch more British TV shows (BBC's
Robin Hood,
Lark Rise to Candleford,
Doctor Who).
3. What's your everyday hairstyle? A ponytail, a braid, a bun?
I just simply wear it down most of the time. If I'm tired of it falling in my face I'll typically pull it back into a messy bun or low pig-tails.
4. Do you sew most of your own clothes or buy them?
Buy them. I have a number of sewn skirts, but the majority is store bought.
5. In what year did Columbus sail the ocean blue?
1492!
6. Favorite screen/literary couple?
Oh, hard one! For literary either Jeanne and Harry from
In the Reign of Terror by G.A. Henty or Elsie and Mr. Travilla from
The Elsie Dinsmore Series by Martha Finley. For screen either Marguerite and Percy from
The Scarlet Pimpernel or Gabriel and Dorcas from
Lark Rise to Candleford.
7. Which is your favorite/most read book of the Bible? (not including Psalms and Proverbs)
Maybe, Ruth.

10. Do you watch Marvel Superhero films? If so, which is your favorite superhero and why?
