A Little Deeper…
What Were You Like as a Child? I asked so many questions, my mom's best friend gave me a note pad--and set aside an hour a day in which they would sit down and answer all of my questions. I was relatively advanced academically, but rather socially awkward. I tried to make others laugh, figuring that, if I could make them laugh, they'd be less likely to make fun of me.
What Career Did You Dream of? I wanted to be a rockstar or a broadway star...just a singer of any kind, really. (Then I had this really traumatic thing where I was in a talent show, singing a solo, and forgot every word I was supposed to sing. I didn't want to be a rockstar after that.)
What is the Best Thing That’s Ever Happened to You? I have the most incredible friends and family anyone could dream of.
What is the Worst Thing That’s Ever Happened to You? Not something I feel comfortable talking about here. In short, he should be in jail.
What is Your Biggest Fear? Being alone for the rest of my life.

What is Your Favorite Childhood Memory? Reading with my dad. My dad taught me to read really young. I was reading on my own before I started pre-school. And have loved reading ever since.
About Twilight…
What is your Favorite Part from Any of The Books? (It‘s okay to choose a few bits if you can‘t decide.) I'm a sucker for the baseball scene (pre-nomad arrival). I think it was just a really great concept, something so freaking normal, for a group of people so freaking not! Over all, though, my favorite part of the series is New Moon. The following is a quote from my review of the book: "Bella’s despair can be felt by the reader. Made especially possible if the reader has lived through that kind of sadness. Personally, New Moon is my favorite of this series because Bella’s voice is so real, so true, so heartbreakingly clear. We read books for so many reasons. Often, books give us the ability to work through our own sadnesses because they offer us a voice that can say the things we can’t, feel the way we don’t want to feel, and have hope when we don’t feel there’s any hope to be had. Bella, in New Moon, gave me a reason to believe that there is a way beyond a sadness I had held on to for too long."
Which Character(s) Do You Relate to The Most? Jacob. His heartbreak over Bella is something I have experienced in my own life. But he tries and does so desperately.
Which Character(s) Can You Imagine Being Friends With? Alice! I just love her. She's genuine and heartfelt. She isn't afraid to break rules in order to do what is best for the people she loves!
Which Character(s) Can You Imagine Being Romantically Involved With? Emmett! His sense of humor would suck me in like a black hole. And that'd be just fine by me!
If You Could Sit Down and Talk to Any Character Who Would it be? Renesmee. Because you would get a chance to both see and feel what she is saying. If I could have a child like Renesmee, I'd actually consider having children!
Your Favorite Quotes from The Books: "I was like a lost moon--my planet destroyed in some cataclysmic, disaster-movie scenario of desolation--that continued, nevertheless, to circle in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity." -New Moon, p. 201
