1) What color shirt are you wearing? I'm not wearing a shirt. I'm wearing a nightgown. It's red with a white plaid pattern.

2) What year were you born in? 1998

3) What is your favorite season? Winter!!

4) What is your favorite number? 14, but I don't know why. It's just been my favorite since I was 7 years old...

5) What is your favorite holiday? Christmas

6) How long have you been getting Cricket? Actually, I don't get it at all. I used to, though. I did from May 2009 until  May 2010. I've been getting Muse ever since, but I've actually been considering resubscribing to Cricket (as in, getting both. I certainly have no intention of quitting my Muse subscription! That would be bad.), though,  because it's a good magazine, too.

7) What's your favorite song? I don't know. Actually, I really don't listen to much besides The Looking Glass Wars Soundtrack (My favorite song on that is either Thru The Looking Glass or Puddles) and Symphony of Science (I have no idea what my favorite song of theirs is--We Are All Connected or The Poetry of Reality, maybe?), so it's probably between those songs...

8) Do you like candy canes? Yes!! I can't eat them anymore because of food sensitivities, though.

9) Do you play a sport (and which one is it)? No (and n/a)

10) What is your favorite color? Anything I can't see. My original answer was just ultraviolet, but then I remembered Fairest and read A Color of Magic, so that's three colors I've never seen, and I don't know which I like best, since I can't see them! It's now between ultraviolet and octarine and htun..

3) What is your favorite season? probably fall.  Though I do like summer and winter.

4) What is your favorite number? 16 and 689.

6) How long have you been getting Cricket?  I got it for 2 years, but now I'm getting Cicada.

7) What's your favorite song?  Argh, way too hard.  I like a lot of songs. 

8) Do you like candy canes?  Yummalicious!

9) Do you play a sport (and which one is it)?  I used to play basketball, soccer and softball, but I quit all those and do cross-country instead!

10) What is your favorite color?  a teal color of blue or a lime-ish green.  (not quite lime, a bit darker). 

@Ima: I would really like to see htun!  I just finished reading Fairest actually.  So thankful for you guys-- I'm very happy you all turned me on to GCL.  Genius writing!  Oh, and I'm so sorry about your food sensitivites!  That must be terribly difficult.  What do you like to eat?  :)

What do I like to eat? Do you mean candy/dessert-wise? Unless you say otherwise, I think I'll assume you do, because I don't want to bore you with a detailed account of all my day-to-day meals... Anyway, I can't actually have sugar at all, but I can have maple sugar, which is different but still good, and beet sugar, which doesn't really sound very good but actually tastes just like regular sugar, which is excellent. Since I can't have sugar, though, I can't really have sweet candies and things that we buy, but then, I think that applies to most things and not just candy/desserts at this point...Anyway, there's this cranberry-apple cake-like thing that's really good, and chocolate icing to put on biscuits and bread (because it really doesn't go with the cake at all, but breads and biscuits can be made so that they taste good with chocolate...), and cookies (oatmeal or chocolate, mainly) are always good... Oh, and yes, GCL is excellent; you have no idea how much I'd give to see htun, or any of the colors invisible to us, really. I really need to reread one of her books...

Well I just meant whatever you wanted to tell me, so thanks! :D  Oh that's interesting. I've never tried beet sugar.  It sounds good, as does the chocolate icing.  Yum! ;)  Do reread!!!  I love Fairest, especially.

Off subject, but my dad used to work at a sugar beet factory.

I'm trying to cut sugar out of my diet!  Or at least refined sugar.  Reading what you said really encourages me to try it.  

I love maple sugar and beet sugar.:) 

Ever tried agave nector? It's a good natural substitute for sugar! -Admin

1. I am wearing a green shirt, but it currently has a black hoodie over it.

2. I am fifteen, feel free to figure out what year that is. :) 

3. My favorite season is definitely summer, living in Iowa where every other season is cold. I hate cold. I only like winter for Christmas and plays, and the rest is ugh. I do like spring as well, though only mid-April or later.

4. I like 64.

5. Christmas is my favorite holiday, closely followed by Easter and then my birthday. I like New Year's too, because among my family/friends it's a big deal. 

6. I have been getting Cricket since May 2005, but the subscription just ran out and no one has renewed it yet. I think I might start getting Cicada instead. I'm sorry, but since Cricket was reduced from 64 pages to whatever it is now, it just hasn't been quite as good.

7. Hm, I don't have a favorite song but I tend to like movie soundtracks and sort of haunting melodies, with the occasional action-packed instrumental piece (think Pirates of the Caribbean type song) and very silly songs, mostly from the 50s and 60s. :D 

8. Sometimes I like candy canes, but I much prefer the softer peppermint sticks.

9. I don't play a sport, but I do act. I am involved both in my local children's theater and in the community theater.

10. My favorite colors are purple and various shades of greenish blue.
