3. Can you do a cartwheel? Oh no. I am not the most athletically inclined. ;)

4. Have you ever been in a play? Yeah, but nothing serious, just things like the first grade production of Peter and the Wolf. Little things like that.

5. Will/was your thirteenth birthday (be?) a Friday? I hope so. That'd be cool. 

6. Name a movie that was made before 1970. Um... Yankee Doodle?

7. What book is closest to you now? Computer's in my parents' room, so Mom's bookshelf. Lotsa Anne Tyler stuff.

8. How do you think this quiz fad got started? Pretty sure it was Hannah. Yes, it was Hannah.

9. Which is more random - Down to Earth or Chirp at Cricket? CaC, I'd say.

10. Do you know who my current favorite author is? Yes, Wendy Mass. :) She's not bad at all, either.

2. Did you ever meet anyone whose name started with an X? Yes, I know a one-year-old, Xander. And that's his full name.

3. Can you do a cartwheel? Well, I used to be able to, then I didn't for a year or so, and then I was too tall to figure out how to do it again. :(

4. Have you ever been in a play? Yes! Ironically, I've been in two fairly big plays. The first one was Pinocchio, and the second one, three years later, was, da dum da dum, Pinocchio! I played three different characters between the two versions. I have also been in like a million skits and monologues for drama classes and a few auditions.

5. Was your thirteenth birthday a Friday? No, sadly, it was Saturday the fourteenth.

6. Name a movie that was made before 1970. The Shirley Temple version of Heidi.
