The Promised Answers Post

Hello, everyone!  I am here, right on schedule (applause please!) to answer all the questions my lovely followers have asked.

An Elven Princess asked...

~Favorite actor and actress?

Umm...my favorite actor/actress sort of switches depending on what movies I've watched recently. :P  However, Colin Firth has been a favorite of mine for awhile, so I guess we'll go with him.  I think my favorite actress (assuming we're talking TV/movies here; if we include musicals, that complicates things :D) would be...Romola Garai, maybe? 

 (And please, everybody, keep in mind that I'm talking more about the characters these people play than the people themselves.  I don't really know much about actors' private lives, as a general rule. :P) 

(Random picture of Mr Darcy smiling.  Heehee.)

Joanna asked...

~Do you like The Fiddler on the Roof? Would you consider it a classic?

Actually, I have never listened to or watched it, haha.  Most of the people I know who have watched it do like it, though, so I guess it could probably be considered a classic?  I don't know. ;)

Naomi Bennet asked...

~Do you have siblings?

 Yes, I do!  I'm the eldest of seven, total.

~Do you share a room with one of them?

 Again, yes--my sister.

~What's the desktop picture of your laptop currently?

Michael Ball as Marius in the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Mis. 

~Have you read Rilla of Ingleside? What are your opinions?

I love Rilla of Ingleside!  It might be my favorite of all the Anne books--no, wait, I prefer Anne of the Island. :P  Philippa Gordon is amazing...but I digress.  I actually wrote a review of it last year.  If you want the shorter version: it's amazing.  The end.

Eva asked...

~What are some TV shows you've watched recently and what do you think of them?

Well, I watched four episodes of Sherlock last year; is that recent enough?  I liked it very much and I hope to watch some more sometime in the future.  Ummm, I watched a bit of Road to Avonlea a few months ago.  It was charming (like country manners *bright smile*), and I loved picking out the different L. M. Montgomery references.  The very latest TV show I watched was Doctor Who; I started watching it last month and liked it, but ended up just forgetting about it, haha.

~What's your favorite Calvin and Hobbes joke?

Probably this one:

~Which literary character do you think you're the most like?

I can't pick!  Um, I guess a mixture of Catherine Morland from Northanger Abbey and Tacy from Betsy-Tacy. 

~What was the last book/movie/fandom thing that made you cry? Made you laugh?

Made me laugh: The Lake Scene from P&P95.  "Are you SURE your sisters are well?  Really, really sure?"

Made me cry: when Betsy isn't chosen for the Essay Contest in Betsy Was a Junior.

 ~What's your go-to snack?

Chocolate. :D

~Have you ever worn a really fancy hat? Fancy gloves?

Yes!  I own fancy gloves, but I don't think I've ever worn them anywhere.  A fancy hat, on the other hand...I wore a Fun Fancy Hat when I attended a performance of My Fair Lady live.  It was amazing.

~Who's your favorite author? Least favorite author?

Favorite author: Jane Austen, who else?

Least favorite author: Ummm...Veronica Roth, maybe? :P 

~What's your current favorite book? Favorite movie? Favorite musical?

Favorite book: Jane Austen books. :D  And the Betsy-Tacy series. 

Favorite movie: Pride and Prejudice (1995)

Favorite musical: Can anyone guess this one? :P

~Is there any question you wished someone had asked, but didn't? (feel free to answer it yourself, of course ;))

 Hmmm...actually, no.  That's kind of weird--usually I can think of a number of questions I'd like to be asked at any given time, but now now.  Huh.

Monica asked...

~Have you ever been to any national parks, like Yosemite or Yellowstone?

Nope!  I would like to visit one sometime, but as yet I have not.

Miss Elliot asked:

~Favorite book so far this month? (Awkwardly worded. Heh.)

It's a tie between Betsy's Wedding, Betsy Was a Junior, Northanger Abbey, Emma, and Pride and Prejudice.  Haha.

~Number of siblings?

Six!  Two sisters and four brothers.

~Character in a period drama you look like the most?

...I actually have no idea.  I can't think of a single one who looks like me.  If you want book characters, that's another story, but...I literally can't think of anyone. :P

~Favorite (at the moment, at least ;-)) costume in a period drama?

Oooooh!  Um, um...too many amazing dresses!!  Okay, I think my two favorites are Maria Lucas's Netherfield Ball dress (seen here--she's on the left) and Emma's Highbury Market dress (here).

~Favorite breakfast food?

Cold cereal of almost any kind, and egg sandwiches.  Not together, of course.

~Favorite movie made prior to 1950?

Les Misérables (1934).  It's black and white, in French, and almost five hours long, and it is SO AWESOME.  I absolutely adore it (and am still meaning to write a review of it :P).

~Gush about The Scarlet Pimpernel for a minute. Heehee. Or, if it MUST be a question, Favorite things about The Scarlet Pimpernel?

Bwahaha, what a delightful question! :D  I love his heroism, his adventurousness, his all-around epicness, his love of his wife, his willingness to sacrifice himself...and of course, Anthony Andrews.  Hehe. 

~Have you seen the BBC Sherlock? If so, what is thy royal opinion on it?

I have, indeed!  See my answer to Eva's question above for more information; I muchly enjoy it on the rare times I get to watch it. ;)

Elizabethany asked:

~Marius or Enjolras?

ENJOLRAS FOREVERRRRR.  Marius is okay, but...he doesn't compare. :P 

~Weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

Hmmm...a catfish sandwich, maybe?  I'm really not that adventurous about eating.

~First period drama you ever watched?

Um...goodness, I don't even know!  The Music Man, maybe.

~Favourite Bible verse?

Psalm 46:1-2 is my go-to answer, but there are so many verses I love now that I really can't answer that. :D

~Dream job? 

A librarian or an editor.

Evie Brandon asked:

~Sherlock or Doctor Who?

Sherlock, I think. Haha.

~Cumberbatch or Freeman?

Ahm...Benedict Cumberbatch. :D
