8.    If you had the chance to change

 your name would you? And what would

Today, when I told my guy my favorite part of his body was his brain.

I said, "What would happen if you got brain damage?
Then you wouldn't be the same.
What would I do?"

He said, "Then you'd find a new part to be your favorite."

Yes, I would.

liebster 2 questions 1-6

She from She may be the Song Summer Sings

gave me the Liebster Award 2nd Round.

Below are her questions and my answers.

My friend made the colorful bracelet.
My mom gave me the brown necklace,
(I don't know if she made it).

1.    If you woke up as the opposite sex,
 what’s the first thing you would do?


Scream, go wtf? try and figure out my new body,

 pinch myself, then look in the mirror, to see if I

was dreaming, then probably scream some more.

My shirt was thrifted.

2.    What is your best friend's Mum's name? 
Which best friend?  I have several.
I don't want to list them for privacy reasons.

My shoes were thrifted.

3.    Chocolate or Vanilla?

always chocolate, hardly ever vanilla

My pants were thrifted.

4.    What’s your favourite movie of all time?

Anne of Green Gables


5.    If you could be a character in any novel you’ve ever read, who would you be and why?

This is a tough question, because I want to be
several book characters combined into one person.


 I would want the fearlessness, creativity,
 great writing, and compassion of Stargirl. 


The ability to play any song I hear on guitar, and write music like Pamela Jean Cochran (a.k.a. Star) in the book Pepperland. 

I admire the ability to put outfits together, sew, look like, have the artistry, and the tolerance through love, of  the character Weetzie Bat  in the Dangerous Angels  book series.

My art journal pages from August 27, 2012
inspired by the artist Katie Licht,
 and her art journal page Sunny Saturday.

It says: for some corn screamed summer, but not for her she liked zucchini, strawberries, avocados, peaches, cherries, and spinach.

6. Would you rather be beautiful or rich?

I don't know. With both beauty and wealth,

 I would think never knowing if people were

genuine would be a concern. How would you

know if they were simply using you for your 

money, or your good looks? 

How would you know if they liked you for
your true self, and soul?  

If you're rich can't you buy beauty? 

You have more advantages and  opportunities.

If you're beautiful, you can also get advantages,

free things, and special treatment.
