The Random Questions Tag x 2!

Naomi recently tagged me with her Random Questions tag! (Thank you so much, dear! ;))

The rules for the tag are:

~ Paste the button onto your blog post.

~ Leave a new list of questions (or just pass on the question list you answered) and tag a few people of your random choice (and say why you tagged them, if you have time!) (Be original and nonsensical in your question-creativity - make the blogging world a cheerful place :-) And be disastrously random.)

Now for the fun...

~Write down three facts about you - one of them is WRONG. Let your commenters guess in the comments which one is wrong (and tell them in the comments after a while)
~Answer the questions of the person who tagged you - make it all super random and interesting
:-D

So here are my Three Facts. (Again, one of these is WRONG…so guess which one!)

1. I've never driven a car on the beach:

2. A portrait of myself in the a.m:

3. I love Cinderella:

Go ahead and guess in the comments and I'll tell you the right answer in a couple days! ;)

And Naomi’s Questions:

1. Are there flowers in your bedroom? ~ I love the idea of flowers (so Anne-of-Green-Gables-ish!), but I’ve never actually gotten them all the way up to my room yet. I do have an indoor lily I’m trying to keep alive.

2. Who was your first - really first - (fictional) crush? ~ Well, I always respected Ned a lot in the Nancy Drew’s—so strong and courageous and ready to help or rescue Nancy.

3. What is, in your opinion, the prettiest Little House Book cover? – From a purely color/composition standpoint, These Happy Golden Years, BUT I’ve never liked Almanzo’s hair much and I do really like Little Town on the Prairie.

4. On pictures, do you smile with your teeth or without? ~ With!

5. In 'Return to Cranford' Miss Matty gets a turban. What do you think of her in a turban? ~ Since reading other people’s answers I’ve realized I may be in the minority here ;), but I love her turban! I think it compliments her face beautifully and think it’s so brave of her to wear it whether or not it was “in style,” simply because she’d always wanted to.

6. Did you get fooled this year on April the 1st? ~ No. We don’t really try at our house and somehow I didn’t run across anything online either.

7. Do you think it's rude when girls re-do their whole hairstyle in public? ~ No. (My, what a lot of “no’s” I’m having here!) But no, it doesn’t bother me. Playing with it and tossing it around all the time can be immodest/draw attention, but I don’t hardly notice an ordinary re-styling—particularly with buns and ponytails. I wear them a lot, too, and they just get loose and need to be redone! :) 

8. What's your least favourite song in 'The Sound of Music?' ~ Something Good. Yes, not a favorite.

9. Do you chew your inside cheeks when you're thinking? ~ No, but I do tend to rest my chin on my hand.

10. Your how-many-ienth post is this? ~ 95!

11. What's your favourite Dickens movie? ~ I still have a lot of Dickens on my to-be-watched list (so far I’ve just seen Little Dorrit and the old classic Christmas Carol and the ’02 Nicholas Nickleby with Charlie Hunnam), but…maybe Nicholas Nickleby? NOTE: It definitely has some skippable scenes/fast forward moments, but altogether it’s a rich, colorful, well thought out, highly Dickens-ish adaptation!

12. What should you be doing right now? Do it. ;-) ~ Finishing a sewing project and Ballet Beautiful. (And I will, shortly…I will! :))

And here are Natalie’s questions as well:

1. Favorite period drama movie? ~ The '04 North and South.

2. What color looks the best on you, clothing-wise? ~ Blue and I’m very happy about it. :)

3. If you had $100 you had to spend selfishly (e.g. an outfit you don't really NEED or a book collection that is available at the library but you just want to own it) what would you get? ~ At the moment, I might actually put it in my savings fund for my next book (cover items, etc.), but saving for a trip to Europe or somewhere exotic would be fun, too. But you were asking about a specific item… Hmmm. Well, I’d love to get a whole bunch of cactus dahlia, and pink and white peony bulbs. I also love this super expensive, old edition of The Prince and Betty:

OR (and now I’m thinking of all sorts of things ;)), I love Indian textiles and dream of having something like this someday:

But then I can never decide…because I like this look, too:

4. Do you dream in color or black and white? ~ In color. (And good question! Do you dream in black and white, Natalie? I hadn’t thought of it before. I also realized this question is rather humorous coming right after I was talking about bedspreads—but it wasn’t intentional, I assure you! :))

5. What's your easiest hairstyle that you use when in a hurry? ~ At home (i.e. when not in public) a ponytail or a twisted-up-with-an-elastic-band bun. Out and about I often twist and pull back my top hair with a couple claw clips and then do a plain braid.

6. What is your middle name? (if you don't mind sharing) ~ Noel.

7. Favorite vintage celebrity? ~ I have a lot of favorites (and I’ve only seen this actor in one film, so he’s a bit of a random selection), but based on what I know so far I’ve been quite impressed by Charlton Heston—by his life and what he stood for. 

8. What are you looking forward to most this week? ~ Attending a dear friend’s wedding!

9. What was one of your favorite moments this past week? ~ Smelling dandelions in the sunshine and also getting some fun birthday notes, packages, and emails. ;)
