''What is in a name? that which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.''


When I hadn't read Shakeseare, I thought it wouldn't be that hard. When I impulsively bought an old volume of all of Shakespeares works, I didn't think it would be that hard.
And then I read it and it was a lot harder than I anticipated.

Of course I read Romeo and Juliet first. It took me a long time, struggling through the hardly normal dialogues, and the jokes I didn't understand because they where written in Elizebethan context, and the fact that there is ONLY dialogue. It frustrates me that there's just people speaking, but duh, what did you think? It's a play, and plays are meant to be acted. Of course.

Well, on to the point. (I'm going to give each character a turn and make them a bit ridiculous, but don't worry, I will give Shakespeare some praise, because he was one very great writer, despite the difficulty of his text)

Juliet.
Dear Juliet, in fact you are one of the least ridiculous characters. And you are the one that no one listens to. Your parents don't listen to you when they try to marry you off to Paris, and when you ask for delay, they don't listen. Your Nurse listens. To some extent.
Only I don't understand why you are so young (and I don't understand why you fell in love with Romeo, I don't really like him). I do understand however why you are so sad all the time. Nothing goes right. You just wanted to live happily ever after with your Romeo, but the play being a tragedy, naturally it ends tragic and you die.
I must agree with you on the rose speech, though. Anne Shirley said a rose wouldn't smell as sweet if it had a different name, but I must disagree with her. It would still smell the same.

Romeo.
I think what I should say is that you are a sad character also, that you also suffered from the feud between your families that evolved in such a tragedy later on (because you die). But partly, you own it to yourself. First of all by killing Tybalt. Why would you do that if you knew it was wrong? Yes, yes, he killed your friend, and you are sad and shocked, but it shouldn't have happened. And second, your petty cry that you would rather die than suffer banishment? And third, being so utterly hasty in all you decisions, the worst being your decision to buy poison after you heard of Juliet's ''death''. I understand you were sad, deeply sad and desparate, but the hastiness?
Basically you are too hasty, sir.

The Nurse.
First of all, I find it stupid that you have no other name than Nurse. Even Juliet calls you Nurse. Or is Nurse your real name? But you are kind to Juliet, and you help her and Romeo, which is more that I can say of the rest of the people in the play.

The Friar. 
Good, you have a name. Lawrence. You are a good man, but you shouldn't have left Juliet alone with the dead Romeo, despite being afraid of the guards coming.
But, as I said before, you are a good man.

Paris.
It appears you have no compassion. No feelings, other than so called love for Juliet, who is only thirteen. You don't go marry a thirteen year old girl, sir, not even there and in that time. Shame on you.

The parents, Lord and Lady Montague.
Dear mother, you listen. Not always, but you listen to your Juliet. To some extent. And you don't have much of a say in you house of course, with such a husband. You are not so much to blame.
The one who is to blame, is the father. I don't understand how you can be so cruel? Your daughter was young, she didn't want to marry Paris, yet you insisted, forced, became angry to almost violent. And when Juliet lied and said: Fine, I'll marry Paris, you were so pleased and satisfied and basically a horrible person.
Shame on you too.

There are others, but they either die really fast or have little role, so I won't mention them.
Shakespeare, overall, did a really great job in writing Romeo and Juliet. It was kind of short, just a span of three days, which seems weird, but maybe that emphasizes the word Haste, which is sort of the reason everything goes wrong.
And of course everyone dies, but that's part of a tragedy. Diana Barry could have written tragedies like that when she was in Anne's story club, but we aren't talking about Diana now, sorry.

It's complex to read, sometimes complex to understand, but it's fascinating. The themes range from fate to love to hasty action to everything together, there are a lot of arguments for each, and it would be a great study material. And it feels good to finally be able to say: I read Shakespeare.
(O, how utterly smart of you.) Well, thank you ...

Well, I ridiculed a little (I am not that good of a person with ridicule) and I praised a little, so this can be called a post.

*goes back to struggling through The Tempest/Othello/King Lear because why read one at a time?*

Originality



Good day en I wish you sunshine because it keeps raining here (of course, it's autumn, duh).

Confusing thought in my head.
What is originality? Does it even exist? Does not every thing come from something that came before, isn't there anything new under the sun?

Very confusing. If I dress like this and call myself original, is that even true? Or if I write this book on this or that subject, am I not unintentionally copying someone who has already wrote it before me?
Blah, I sound serious. Like, boring serious.
Is boring original?!
And now I sound utterly weird.

To get to the point: I thought about this a lot. I think everyone gets to a time when they think about it (I hope. Or not hope). Especially when it comes to writing. The fear of unintentional copy, fear you won't be able to say what hasn't already been said, the urge to come up with something new and bright and beautiful and NOT YET EXISTING.

That's probably where one stops because one thinks one is unoriginal and boring and will never become a writer (why isn't writing easy?! It's weird, because writing is 90% hard work and the rest is fun, but you can't just stop writing. That's ... impossible. And on the other hand I wouldn't want writing to be easy, because that wouldn't be right. Aaand now I'm off topic, let's go back, shall we?).

I think ... (here comes the wise opinion that is actually allready said a thousand times before ... that was sarcastic, sorry) ... one should not worry about being original, one should try to be oneself (is that even a word?). Like, write what you want to write, even if it has been written before, because when you write it, it will be different from the other person that wrote it when you where five years old and running through the yard with your little sister.
It's like that quote/saying/wise word: ''no one ever reads the same book.'' Two persons may read one book, but it will be different in their minds.
And since there is only one of you and everyone is unique what you write will allways be different.

Basically I wrote this post for my younger self and for my now self because I had the confusing thought about originality on my mind that I haven't actually answered.

Originality doesn't exist. Not in writing anyways. My opinion, though it may be brought to fall down again because someone comes with an counterargument that says original does exist.

It's still raining. I do hope for a bit of sunshine. Autumn leaves are beatutifull, and so are the sunsets and the fog, but not the rain!

Have a good day. With or without rain.

Winnie the Pooh + Writing

Sometimes writing is great. Sometimes it's horrible because it just won't come along. And sometimes it's a mix of a whole lot of things.


So here's a Winnie the Pooh post about writing.
(I realize it's not Period Drama or anything, but I like the Winnie the Pooh characters, they are all so divers and fit perfectly for this post.)


When everything goes perfect: your writing is perfect, your plot is perfect and you're just happy and want to dance around and shout and basically be like Tigger.



When you suddenly have to stop writing because you can't remember anything of the research you did yesterday on how to saddle a horse/when you get lost in all the details that envolve writing about how your story's geography works.



When you really need to write, but you can't start, and time is ticking by and you're sitting there and nothing comes and suddenly you doubt if you'll ever write anything good in your life.



When you read what you just wrote.



When you're writing and not really noticing what's happening around you.



The Eeyore mood you sometimes get for no reason at all



When you're eating and suddenly an amazing idea strikes you.




Despite that, you're secretly very happy to have finished your story, however short it is (I am at least!).


No also I will say goodbye. *quickly presses publish so I won't go talk nonsense that has nothing to do with this post*

The Animation Tag

Ruth from Amongst Spring Blossoms made an animation tag! Yay!






The Rules:
Nothing important, just tag some people(your own decision) and answer the questions(hey, it's not forced, remember that!)

Questions:

(Here we go!)

1. Who's your favourite animated herione?

Mulan. She's brave, but also realistic. Second in line would be Rapunzel, because of her enthusiasm, her lively nature.


2. Who's your favourite animated hero?

Eugene. Just ... He's funny, he is sweet, he is honourable (even though he is a thief and a liar in the beginning) and then the way he loves Rapunzel ... The way he changes from Flynn to Eugene, from his pretended him to the real him.


3. If there was to be a sequel(or even a third, fourth or fifth part)(and then I don't mean like Frozen Fever or Tangled Ever After, those short movies, but a real one) of an animated movie, where would you like it to be about?

Ehm. I would like a second movie from Inside Out.
 

4. Which couple from an animated movie do you think is higly underrated?

I don't know ..? I can't think of any Disney film being underrated that I think isn't. But I would like to have seen more of Ellie and Carl together, they are so sweet and happy. I know that doesn't really answer the question, sorry.


5. Which couple do you like the most?

Carl and Ellie. They are the sweetest, most real couple I have ever seen. Look at them! Their story was so beautiful, and they where so happy together.


6. Which song is your favourite?

 Colours of the Wind


7. And if you should choose a song that isn't likely to be chosen by you, one that didn't immediately come up in your mind, but is still a favourite, which one would it be?

To be honest, I don't really know that many Disney songs, so I couldn't answer this one.


8. What animation movie did you first think you wouldn't like, but eventually you did?

Cars, I think. But that was way back, I can't really remember. But I do know I thought Cars was going to be silly, but it actually has a good storyline to it. (Cars 2 excluded, I don't like that one).
 

9. Which two do you always consider as a couple, even though they are not a definite couple, but almost no one else does?

I'd agree with what Ruth said in her answer. I know they aren't a real couple, but there are certain moments in the two movies that I start to think: I could be, or could have been.
 

10. Which girl from an animated movie has the best hairstyle(s)?

Her hair is so beautiful! Not so very realistic though, but I don't care, it's beautiful.


11. Which is the best dress?

Do weddingdresses count? Rapunzels weddingdress is so beautiful!


12. Which sidekick is the best according to you?

Pascal.

13. What's your favourite Disney princess movie?

For now it's still Tangled.
 

14. What's your favourite animated movie(no Disney princess movies included)?

Up! (it doesn't have Disney princesses in it)


15. What is your Disney personality?

This is a great question, I like doing quizes like that! *goes off to do the quiz*

It says: You have a strong inner desire to express yourself, often in public speaking( no thank you. that's Horrible!)acting, writing, or singing (that's true, apart from the singing). You also yearn to have beauty around you in your environment (okay ...)
You tend to be quiet (yes), considerate (hope so),sympathetic to others and fair, though sometimes you  can be quite explosive (how did you guess so accurate?!). You are often very intuitive (oh, how fun). You like detail and order (not too much), and often find change worrisome (okay, that's not always true, I kinda like change). You may sometimes feel insecure or restless (again accurate).
This was so much fun. I'm glad I have some of Rapunzel, I like her.
 

16. Which animated girl do you think looks most like you(in looks, not in character)?




Anna, maybe. Though my hair is more brownish. So Jane from Tarzan could also be accurate.


17. Which statement do you think is true and which not(you know, those things on Pinterest that say ... For example: that Elsa and Anna are Rapunzels cousins, that Tarzan is Anna and Elsa's brother or that the oldest girl from Despicable me is maybe Riley's mom from Inside Out)?

Eh, I have no idea. I do think Elsa and Anna could be Rapunzels cousins. And I don't think the oldest girl from Despicable me is Riley's mom.


18. What animated movie did you exect much of, but turned out to be much worse than you originally thought?

Ice Age 5. Blech. Very stupid. Or the one with the weird white rabbit and the pets. Didn't like that one very much either.


Thank you Ruth, for the awesome tag. I enjoyed answering the questions very much! 

Actually I really want to write another post, but that will have to wait. Three posts in one day is too much. Two is already too much, I think. :)

So, so long!

 

A Long, long, long, long absence


And in the meantime, summer went by, and autumn came. Now, before I continue, I can explain (the words so often used in movies. They get kind of cliché.)
I forgot my password. (How very smart of me)
Then I tried multiple times to get into my account by entering passwords that I thought where right, but actually where wrong.
So I had to resign to never ever returning here. O sad, sad day that was ...
Then I found the right password in a notebook, stuffed somewhere at the bottom of a pile of other notebooks I never used. I was thrilled, till I found out my account (mine!) would not let me (its rightful owner) in!
Again I had to resign to never returning here. Another sad day.
And then, one day (today actually) I tried once more. Wouldn't hurt to try once more, right? Yes, right! Because now it worked and I got in (sounds weird) and I can blog again. After such a long and long time ...

This was weird to write. Maybe you all left, thought I abandoned this blog without a goodbye. Maybe not. But one thing is true, I am so happy to finally write some of my scribblings in this little ''corner of the internet'' again. *smiling idiotically behind the screen* It's good you can't actually see me, my smile is too big for my face.

And if you're wondering whether I'm a hacker who got into this account and now pretends to be me, there are some bloggers who know me in real life who can confirm that it's actually me (if they are okay with that). Because it's me.
(why would anyone do such a thing as the above, anyway? I wonder)

I think I might be one of the most forgetful people in the world, by far. (I really hope I'm not the only one though, it would be kind of lonely if that were true)

Well, like ma Ingalls said (if I quote correctly), End's well, al's well. (or the other way around, or with different spelling, I don't know. Whatever way I write it, looks wrong. So I'll go with this).

Rebekka

P.S
I'm so happy right now, writing a blogpost again!

Summer is ...


Summer is ...

(I was going to write a long post about summer, but I don't have a lot of time now, and I also don't want to wait and write it tomorrow. I'm really a very, very patient person *tries to look like a very patient person*)

So, without further delay, Summer is for me...

- icecream

- swimming a lot

- open windows and a soft wind that makes my light summer curtain dance in the breeze

- perfectly blue sky

- bare feet (I'm so glad I'm homeschooled, you get to go barefoot a lot more!)

- summerdresses

- long evenings

- mornings that come with golden sunshine and the songs of birds


- the windows open while driving a car

- shade is okay now

- it's very silent in the early afternoon

- watermelon

- gorgeous sunsets

- no more jackets, no more sweaters

- everything green and green and green (I live in a green land, which is good, because I like the colour green)

- did I mention ice cream?

- the sea. Okay, pictures of the sea. Because going to the sea in summer is like going to a marketplace that's only open once a year. Everybody is there. Sooo crowded.

- it's warm. Finally. I like warm.

-  strawberries

- green grass that feels like velvet (sometimes grass really feels like velvet, it's true!)

- starry nights

- taking pictures

- the days are longer, no more lights on at six in the evening.

- long walks (only in the forest under the trees, where it's cool)

- sunglasses (I don't wear them, but I always like seeing people with sunglasses because it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn)

- rain is not so bad or dreary anymore

- being verry happy because summer is my favourite season


That list could - and should - go on a little (much) more. But time's almost up, things to do, stuff to remember, and all that. And besides, wouldn't that be a little tedious to read? :)

Just one more thing, I read Fire by Night, by Lynn Austin. Its's so good ... You must read it if you haven't allready. :D

A Road to Avonlea Post




As you might have already guessed, we are currently watching Road to Avonlea (season four allready ... why, time goes fast). And instead of trying to find words to describe how much I like Road to Avonlea so very very much (it never works, or it sounds really mushy), I'll do a character review. Since I have only watched till season four, things that are yet to happen, will not be mentioned, and eventhough I'll try to keep it spoiler free ... that will probably not happen. Please forgive me. :)


Sara Stanley. She is independent, headstrong, and very romantic. She has a personal sense of right and wrong, so when she does not want to do something, she won't. And when she wants to do something, she will. She likes to give advice and help people, especially when it concerns romance (I told you she was romantic!)


Hetty King. The opinionated and stubborn teacher of the Avonlea school. She likes rules and doing things the old fashioned way, and while she cares a lot about the people around her, does not often tell them, more likely shows them.
At first she wasn't very likeable, but she ''softened'' during the seasons and now she is my favourite character. She even starts writing romantic fiction! Hetty King writing romantic fiction, can you believe it?


Felicity King. Let's just say she was kind of awful when the series began. But when she grows older she becomes more likeble, with still the bossy streak about her. She looks somewhat like Hetty with how she thinks of rules, and how things must be done. This picture is really afwul but I couldn't find one where she was this age AND alone (she is always with someone else on pictures) *awkwardly tried to do a sentence like the one above and kind off failed because the sentence is waaay to long*
I like her now. There is even said I am a bit like her. What?! Well, maybe I am a bit like her. A very little bit. The bossy part, that is.


Felix King. Welcome to trouble. Felix just does things, and then the other thing happens that escalates and Felix is in trouble again. He can't help it, so it seems. But he is very kind, he is honest and where he really likes to tease Felicity and can sometimes go to far (which is funny for us to watch!) he really doesn't mean any harm.


Olivia King-Dale. A very warm, enthousiastic person, at first a little under aunt Hetty's command, but she grows more independent with time, getting to work at the Avonlea newspaper and being very good at it. She can at times be very hilarious. :)


Jasper Dale. He is shy and a tad bit clumsy, but he makes the most beautiful photo's, and he's an inventor.


Gus Pike. He has a funny accent, and he lives in a firehouse. He has humor, but he's a serious person at the same time. He is always in to help, and eventhough it is strange that he used to play his violin all the time, and now that violin hasn't appeard on screen in ages, he is a great person.
Please excuse the hazy picture. Thank you very much. :)


Janet King. Oh, I like her. She is a sweet, considerate person, very warm and loving. Yet she also has her stubbornnes from time to time and I like that about her too (one can't be all perfect, right?).


Alec King. He's a little like Janet, but more pragmatic and ''sensible''. He is a steady person, not against new things, but he very much likes his way of living, being a husband and a father and a farmer.


Cecily King. Sweet, little sister Cecily. She loves her dog, Digger, very much. She puts some effort in trying to stop people from quarreling, but she hasn't been a ''main person'' very much, yet. Maybe that'll come.


A family who's name sounds like ''Peddibone''. I have no idea if they are going to stay for long. The girl is Izzy, she's a tomboy and I like her. The younger boy has a name and I don't remember what it is. The eldest is Arthur, he's a going-to-be-veterinarian (Felix said ''vegetarian''!) and I don't like him very much. He looks ANGRY and he likes Felicity. Their father is the teacher (since Hetty left the school and now he and Hetty write stories!).

That about sums up the characters from Road to Avonlea. There's also Rachel Lynde so here and there, and once Gilbert Blythe showed up! (in a sad episode, but still) Also Muriel Stacey entered the show several times, and Marilla.

Ta-da! That's done (this looks like a long post, but I don't really think it is). If you haven't watched Road to Avonlea yet, you should try starting it! We're watching it online right now, without subtitles (thus the sound of the speakers is a little loud because we can't understand Gus Pike sometimes, or Hetty, but it is manageable :D)

I'll say goodbye for now then!

Four Fictional Characters Tag

Ruth tagged me with the Four Fictional Characters Tag. Thank you, Ruth!

The Rules:

1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. List four fictional characters (use pictures if you want! They can be from movies or books) and, if you like, describe what they're like and why you believe you relate to them.
3. Tag a few other blog people.

 Well, I did number one. On to number two!

The characters that I relate to:

Molly Gibson. I am not a lot like her, I do not share her love for bees-nests (if that is the correct way of spelling it), nor her quietness, but as for the rest, I can relate to her.
(She can get angry at subjects I would get angry about too.)










Jane Eyre. Again not very much, only a little that I relate to her. I like her because she is independent. Which I am not so very much, I would be terrified there in that old house.
But she knows how she feels and thinks and believes about certain things, and I do too. I don't know if that makes any sense. :D And she stands up for herself, which I would do too, in certain situations.













Catherine Morland. She has a huge imagination and likes to read books. Basically me. Although I would not read the sort of books she read, but on the other hand, I might, if I had lived in the time she lived.













Maria. Well, first of all, I do not play the guitar, nor do I have short hair, and I don't sing either (at all, even though I wish I could). But there is something about her that I can relate to, her way of looking at life, cheerfull, eager to begin a new life, yet scared at the same time, always doing other things, (singing while she should be at the abbey, reading while I should do my studying).











I am only young and have not had a lot of experience all the above characters have had, but at some points these four are the ones I relate to the most. I would say Catherine is most like me, then Maria, then Molly, and then Jane (very little in common with her).
Well, that was fun!

I haven't been around blogging for these past weeks, but I have been busy with exams. And that was a very busy time.

I really enjoyed doing this! And as for tagging other bloggers, there are probably a lot of bloggers who have allready done this tag, so I'll just tag Everyone Who hasn't done this Tag yet.

Wives and Daughters - A review


This copy. I really want this copy. It's blue, it has sketch-like things on it (dragonflies, especially the dragonflies) and of course the story in it is really worth reading.

So I read Wives and Daughters. Well, technically I am still reading, but since I am nearly finished (sadly) and since I couldn't wait to write about it, I am writing about it now.

Wives and Daughters is about the young Molly Gibson, living in the little English town Hollingford, somewhere around 1830. When her father remarries, a new sister enters her quiet life - the cheerful, amiable Cynthia. Her coming actually changes everything for Molly and the way she lived untill then, because Cynthia is not only different, she also brings trouble. Yet the two girls become friends immediately, and the story follows them growing up.

Why I like it - 

- Molly is a little like me, as I found out. Of course she and I are different, I am much and much less quiet for instance, but I quite recognised some stuff of her in me. I never had that with any book before.
- It's set in the 1800's. Need I say more? It's my favourite era.
- It isn't just a nostalgic book about village life in England, or of two girls growing up, but it is also an ironic critique on mid-Victorian society, eventhough on the surface it appears not to be so.
- It's never boring.
- It is very beautifully written, sometimes slow, but never too slow. There are no endless backstories, or endless nothings going on (just the main character and either what they see or what they think) and the dialogue is interesting and real.
- Coming back to the word 'real', I found all the people in the book where very real. They just became alive in my imagination, and they stay alive. Wich is very important for a book to have, I think.



 I've watched the movie as well, and after reading the book, I think they did a wonderful job in keeping as true to the book as possible (and I must say, they kept very true) and the thing above (there's a name for a collection of photo's like that, only I have no idea what it is ... :\ ) really captures what the movie, and also the book, is like.

Favourite Character -

Molly Gibson. She is sweet, but she also is not afraid to stand up for others, and help them if they need it. She is kind and compassionate, a little bit of a temper here and there, and even though she does not like her stephmother (I do not like Hyacinth either) she still tries to be nice to her.

Favourite Scene - 

Actualy I can't name my favourite scene, also because I haven't completely finished the book yet, and because there are so many scenes I like, but my favourite scenes are most definitely the outside scenes where Molly is happy.

Least favourite Character - 

I have two. Mr Gibson and Mr Preston. Though Hyacinth comes close, I will always go with these two. I know Mr Gibson is Molly's father, and I am sure he loves Molly and is good and all, but I do not like him at all.
As for Mr Preston, though I felt a little sorry for him, he is just too unlikeable.

Least favourite Scene - 

Heehee. Least favourite scenes do not exist.


Well, that was a review. A review of a great, memorable book, just waiting to be read for the second or more time, and I give it five out of five stars.


Have you ever read Wives and Daughters? Or seen the movie?

Dear Spring


Dear Spring. How wonderful of you to come and make us happy and cheerful and wanting to go outside and just be there for no reason other then to look at the trees that become green, and the little specks of colour that appear everywhere, and the blue sky and the warm sun and the chirping of birds when we wake up.

Trees start to blossom, white and pink veils between the light green of early leaves yet to grow bigger.
(trying to be poetic here, Spring, don't mind me)

Everything has just magically become more alive, more happy, more 'what am I doing in my room? Why am I not outside?'
I wish it would always be like this.

No more jackets! No more woolen hats and scarfs! Freedom and short sleeves! (okay, maybe not just yet, but I know it's coming).

Oh, and butterflies. Last week I sat in my room and for some reason I looked outside (I always randomly look outside) and there I saw this thing fluttering in the sky. First I thought it was a leaf, and then I realised it was not, and since it was also to small to be a bird, I thus realised it was a butterfly. It is so beautiful to start seeing butterflies again, dear Spring. They are such tiny, fragile and enchanting creatures ...

And the sun. Everyday it gets a little warmer, unnoticed. I wake up with the sun shining through the curtains and making golden stripes on the wall, and it makes me feel happy. Sun does that to you. (I know there are people who really like rain, but I only like rain when it's summer, and it smells so amazing and new and fresh. Winter/Spring/Fall rain I find a little gloomy ... I wish I could like that sort of rain also, but I just don't)

Sorry for my rambling, Spring. I will continue.

Finally being able to plant things and work in the garden. Eventhough sadly I have done nothing of the sort just yet, because I was so busy with learning things that I need to know for my exams and now I shall not wander off topic AGAIN and stay on track.

Feeling like writing much and much more.

Oh, and you make the days longer. How I love it to be able to read some early in the morning without having to turn on the light, or to see the sun being all orange when I look out of my window and it's still early.

And birds. That must be the most amazing thing. Little birds everywhere, but mostly just hearing them in the morning and the evening and now I can't wait for Summer to hear them even more (sorry, dear Spring, I am a little fickle, but I truly like you, truly)

That was it, I guess. To sum it all up, I am truly happy you have come at last, dear Spring.

Sincerely,

Rebecca

The Simple Questions Tag




Hello! Rachel tagged me with The Simple Questions Tag! Thanks, Rachel, I loooove tags.

Rules:
-answer the questions (no obligations)

1. How does your morning starts?

Well ... There is almost never a usual time I get up, but during the week it is eight or sometimes even 7:30. Breakfast. Coffee. That usually takes a lot of time. (because I do not like the steaming hot coffee that just aches drinking ... little weird, but yes, I like my coffee to be not so hot. Warmer than lukewarm I guess you could name it.) I start studying around 9:30 to 10. That's my morning! (it's kinda lazy ... C:)

2. What's your favourite colour?

I don't really have a favourite colour, but I think it might be green (plant-green) and maybe pink and darker blues.


3. What book are you reading right now?

I am not reading a book right now (shame on me!) but the last two books I read where Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier and Waves of Mercy by Lynn Austin (great books)

4. What is you opinion about having a mobile phone?

I have one ( It's white. I love white too.). To be honest I only use it to text with my sister, or friend, or mom when I am away, or they are away, and here and there a phonecall. I also take pictures with it, and I have a caculator which I use when I am too lazy to write out a really huge sum. : )
My opinion though is: do not spend the entire time on your mobile phone! Really, don't. : )

5. Your favourtie actress? (pick at least two)

I have no idea. I like a lot of actresses, but just not enough to like them, if that doesn't sound confusing ... *singing: skiiiiiip tooo the neeeeext questioooon*


6. What's your favourite movie right now?

*redoes the singing I just did*. (sorry, a lot of movies are my favourite movie. :D I can't pick)


7. Snow or rain?

 Snow.

8. What's your favourite ice cream flavour?


That would be chocolate!
 
9. To which country's have you been?

Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, also Sweden (traveling to Sweden drove me through Germany and Denmark, but I don't know if that counts).

10. What are you doing mostly in the evening?

We watch a series or a movie together in the evenings. It's fun. When it's early, I read a while.

11. How old are you?

Eighteen!

12. Which country's do you really want to visit?

England, parts of North America, Canada, Italy.

13. What's your dream career?

Does writing count as a dream career? Is so, it's being a writer. Or at least do something with language and literature.

14. If you where casted in a movie, which character would you love to play?

All kinds of persons! I would want to be part of a Period Drama. Or a Jane Austen movie (Although the thought of all the being famous makes me think about withdrawing from the cast C:)


These where all the questions. Sorry for the few photos, but it was kinda late writing this, so time to search for the perfect picture from Pinterest was not there. 
Thanks again, Rachel. I had lots of fun answering the questions!
