11. If you had to get a new pet right now (ignoring price), what would you get? What would you name them?I would love to own a cat of my own. Or two. As for name, it depends on whether they've already been assigned a name from where I'm getting them from or not, and if I like that name for them.12. If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be?I wouldn't want a tattoo. But I guess something small... maybe fandom oriented? *shrugs* I don't know.13. If you had to make everyone you know watch one movie, read one book, and listen to one song, what would they be?The Holiday, "The Rural Diaries" by Hilarie Burton Morgan, and "To Love You More" by Celine Dion.14. If you had to change careers/schooling right now, what would you go into?If I was changing jobs, I might consider making my cosplay/arts stuff my focus. Otherwise, I still like the idea of doing TV/Movie acting.15. If you had to pick one dish to eat for the whole week (ignoring nutrition), what would it be?Hmm... the chicken/grape/coconut meal we have. I can't remember the official name for it right now.

16. If you had to pick an outfit for a blind date right now, what would it be?Depends on where I'm going for the blind date.17. If you had to pick one movie you’ve seen to erase from your memory, what would you pick?Hmm... most of the movies I wasn't fond of, I've already pretty much forgotten about. So... *shrugs*18. If you had to pick one item to be gifted to you (up to $50,000 USD in value) that you couldn’t exchange/give away, what would you pick?Does Jeffrey Dean Morgan himself count? *laughs* Um... there's quite a few things I would love to have, it's hard to choose just one.19. If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?I sort of already did that when I created my nickname - Kissa. A good number of my friends call me that rather than my real name.20. If you had to become a high school teacher, what subject would you teach? And what club/sports team would you advise?English/Creative Writing for sure. Maybe would also consider doing Arts (painting/photography). Probably would advice any writing or arts related clubs.

31. What’s one food/dish that you really want to try?There's quite a few dishes.32. Where are three places you want to travel to? Any specific reasons for them?The U.K. - The area has always fascinated me. Plus seeing where my ancestors came from would be neat to see too.

Austin, TX - I've got a few friends who live near the area now. Plus Jensen Ackles' Family Business brewery is located there too. Atlanta, GA - Walking Dead zone.33.

41. What’s your best party trick?Hitting it off with no problem with the resident animal(s). sweatdrop 42. What are some songs that make you most want to sing along when you hear them?A majority of Taylor Swift's songs.43. What’s your best cheesy pick-up line/dad joke?Two blondes walk into a bar. Wouldn't you think at least one of them would've seen it?44. How has your music taste changed over the past ten years?Definitely have listened to more rockier, gritty music than I used to. Supernatural and Walking Dead are major contributors to this through songs they've featured or just the general aura/vibe I get in the mood for.45. What’s your go-to (alcoholic) drink for hanging out on a patio in the summer? After a long day? Meeting a date at a nice bar?Ciders and meads are always high on the list. A Moscow Mule or a nice cocktail are good selections too.

Which book do you keep telling yourself you’ll read, but you probably won’t?*glances over at TBR list on Goodreads* I'm sure there will be one I'll never get around to reading.5. Which book are you saving for “retirement?” Don't have one.

6. Last page: read it first or wait till the end?Wait until the end.7. Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting aside?Acknowledgements towards editors and such tend to be a bit boring for me. But if it's acknowledgements for someone who has made a big, personal impact, that's more interesting to me.8. Which book character would you switch places with?I don't think I've ever wanted to be a specific character from a book. I've always created my own original character that I've placed into the story.9. Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time)?Yeah, there's quite a few books like that for me.10. Name a book you acquired in some interesting way.I was at the hospital due to my Mom having heart complications. I had gone down to eat something since I didn't grab anything before heading over there, and when I went back up they were moving her to a different area. Only my Dad was with her and wasn't sure the exact location of where she was going to be quite yet, so I had to wait in one of the hallway lobby areas until I knew where to head off. While I was sitting there, a volunteer was going around with a cart of books she was giving visitors for free. Since I had just seen the movie, I picked out the book of Ready Player One. I ended up starting to read the book until I heard where my Mom was relocated to.
Just the way of me acquiring that book has stuck in my mind.

16. Stephen King: Literary genius or opiate of the masses?I've only read one book of his - Eye of the Dragon - and wasn't too impressed with it. I felt like he went way overboard with descriptive text before any action happened.
Definitely plan on reading more of his work, specifically is more well known works to get a better idea of his writing style.17. Have you ever seen a movie you liked better than the book?Stardust.18. Conversely, which book should NEVER have been introduced to the screens?The Fifty Shades series...19. Have you ever read a book that’s made you hungry, cookbooks being excluded from this question?Hmm... I'm sure there has been.20. Who is the person whose book advice you’ll always take?My best friend Melissa. We have similar tastes in franchises, so if she says I would enjoy something, I can be certain she'll be right about it.

21. Do you dog ear your books? Do you underline/write stuff in your books?No, to both. I have bookmarks to use to mark my place (or find a piece of paper to use as a makeshift one). If there's anything I want to make a note of, I use the Notes app on my phone to make a note about it for future reference.
