Questions
When did you first start your blog?
First first? 2013. First as far as any decent content? XD 2017.
(And as a bonus answer, I started my second blog in 2018. ;) )
What’s something you want to blog about but haven’t yet? Why?
How to subvert annoying-but-popular tropes from a Christian worldview. That’s going to be really fun at some point.
What’s your dream job?
Author/youth leader/music minister/editor/worldbuilding coach. XD XD Also wife and mom. So. Yep. Lots of things. XD But they’re all sort of related, actually! They all tie in with the goal of ministering in ways that impact the culture.
Name a movie you want to watch but haven’t yet. Why?
Now You See Me. It looks like a very cool movie, but I can’t find it anywhere to watch it. :P
What’s your favorite topic to debate about? (Assuming you like to debate…better for you if you don’t.)
Hehe… Predestination. I can debate predestination allllll day. (There are people who no longer enjoy debating predestination with me. It’s kind of disappointing, but I guess it’s understandable. XD)
Who has been your biggest supporter in life?
I’m guessing God is assumed. XD So beyond that… probably my dad. My dad is awesome. He supports me in all sorts of areas. Pretty sure he was even behind me when I was nine and wanted to become a PI even though I would never have made a good PI. XD
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
Tennessee. Somewhere between Nashville and Knoxville, probably.
What’s something you don’t like, even though most people do? (It could be a book, TV show, song, anything!)
Ummm… The Shape of You was really popular for a while. I don’t know if it still is, but I despise that song. *shudders*
What makes you stop and think? (Roses? Poems? Big words?)
People smarter than me. Whether I’m interacting with them directly or reading books they’ve written… people who know more than I do about topics that interest me.
When you were younger, what did you want to be when you “grew up”?
Well… kinda answered this one, actually. XD But there was a slew of things. Ballerina, waitress, PI/spy (I wasn’t picky on that point XD)… and then author! I came to that one fairly early, between probably 10 and 12, and it’s stuck. ;)
If you could make up a question to ask yourself as the final one in this list, what would it be? (For example, “Why was Grace too lazy to create a legitimate question?” By the way, she has an answer to that. It’s not laziness; it’s ingenuity.)
Y’know, usually when doing these things I write up the list of questions for my nominees and I think “Mannnn, I would have liked to answer that question. D:” But it’s a lot harder when I haven’t done that list yet. XD So I’m gonna go do that and then jump back up once I have a cool question. ;)
Ooh, actually! I’ll steal one of the questions Grace answered. “Do you speak two or more languages?”
Sort of! I am in the process of learning French, which has been very fun. I’ve been learning for… a year? I think? Maybe a year and a half? Not sure. But anyway, it’s been a while. I’m making progress. I haven’t achieved fluency yet, but I’m working toward that.
And I’d also like to learn Hebrew! I mostly haven’t started that one yet because the whole learning-a-new-alphabet thing is intimidating, but I would love to know Hebrew and be able to use it in my Bible study and whatnot.
Nominees
1-11. You! If you want to do it. I think my friends might be tired of me tagging them, LOL. I’m gonna steal Grace’s explanation here and say it’s not lazy; it’s considerate. XD

Now You See Me is an AWESOME movie! So cool! But I don’t remember where we watched it. XD I thought it was on Prime Video, but it doesn’t look like it…. weird.
Also, out of curiosity, why do you pick Tennessee?
Maybe it was for a while but its contract with them has expired since. :P It’s really frustrating: I can find the second one in a bunch of places, but I can’t find the first one anywhere. XD
I don’t really have a great answer, lol. There’s just a certain welcoming southern vibe I get? And I know/know of a bunch of people in that area of Tennessee, so there might also be a part of me hoping one day I could meet some of those folks in person. XD But mostly it’s just a sort of vague pull.
