Christopher Columbus!
Basics
*Name: Kelly
*Age: 20
*Location: Minnesota, USA
You
*Likes: Reading, writing, good books and movies, coffee, chocolate, ice cream, ballet flats, flowers, stars, rain, shopping, (going to the) theater
*Dislikes: Gum-chewing (mostly the sound of it... when other people do it), snoring noises, other loud and obnoxious chewing sounds, ticks
*List 3-5 Positive Things About Yourself: People say I'm sweet all the time, I'm very compassionate in that I hate seeing people in pain, I'm very forgiving and understanding, and I'm also quite loyal and friendly (although it takes me a while to be able to trust someone).
*List 3-5 Negative Things About Yourself: I can be really shy sometimes, I can also be really lazy and I put things off until the last minute, I stress easily and don't get enough sleep.
*Ambitions for the Future: Graduate, fall in love, get married and eventually start a family.
*If you could live in any time period, what would it be and why? Hmm... maybe the Victorian era or the Regency period. I love their fashions and way of life, and - especially the Victorian era - it seems like it would be an exciting time to live in.
*Describe your idea adventure: Going to Europe! I've already been to Germany, Austria and Iceland and I absolutely loved it, and I'd really like to go back and see more of Europe. I also think it would be really cool to go to Egypt and explore the pyramids and tombs and all that stuff.
Either/Or
*Passive or Aggressive: Passive, definitely.
*Selfish or Generous: Generous, I'd say.
*Old Fashioned or Modern: A little of both... I sort of have more old-fashioned morals but my views on marriage are more modern. I don't know, I don't think I'm necessarily one or the other.
*Do You Prefer to work: Alone or With Others: Alone, but sometimes I like working with others.
*Rules are Meant to be: Broken or Followed: There's a time and a place for following rules and breaking them. I try to avoid conflict so I usually stick to the rules a bit, but that doesn't mean I always agree with them.
The Book/Movie and You
*Do you prefer the book or movie? BOTH! I haven't read the book in a while, but they're both so great and so emotional (I can't get through the end of that movie without crying).
*Favorite film version/actor or actress from a certain version: I've seen the 1994 version and the first part of the (I think it was 1933? the one with Katharine Hepburn) version. And clips from the Liz Taylor version. I definitely prefer the 1994 version, and I love ALL the actors in it. I think the casting was perfect. Oh, except for Samantha Mathis as older Amy March. I didn't care for her at all.
*Who is your favorite character and why? :\ I don't want to sway votes, so I'll leave this one blank for now. :D
*Who is your least favorite character and why? As much as I hated Samantha's Amy in the movie, I loved her in the book. That's hard... I guess I'd say Belle Gardiner because she's just annoying.
*Do you have a favorite part of the movie? Uhh, the whole thing? I thought that Beth's dying scene was done wonderfully, but it's actually the part where Hannah scatters the flower petals that REALLY gets me choked up. I think it's the music. I also absolutely love the ending, too. I want a proposal like that. :D
*Favorite quote and why? Ohhh there are so many!
Beth: If God wants me with Him, there is none who will stop Him. I don't mind. I was never like the rest of you... making plans about the great things I'd do. I never saw myself as anything much. Not a great writer like you.
Jo: Beth, I'm not a great writer.
Beth: But you will be. Oh, Jo, I've missed you so. Why does everyone want to go away? I love being home. But I don't like being left behind. Now I am the one going ahead. I am not afraid. I can be brave like you.
~It's so sad, yet it describes her character so perfectly. Poor Beth... :(
John Brooke: Mr. Laurence! One doesn't shout at ladies as if they were cattle. My apologies!
~It's funny because he shouts that last part at the ladies, too.
Amy: We'll all grow up one day, Meg. We might as well know what we want.
*If Jo were to write a thrilling operatic tragedy, what kind of character would you like to play? (i.e.: the damsel in distress, the hero, the villain, a magical creature such as a troll or hag, etc.) Haha! I like this question. I don't think I'd want to be the damsel in distress because they tend to be boring and flat... I think it would be much more fun to play a villain (because I'm probably the complete opposite) or some sort of magical creature. This is hard!
