If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

View all responses

Depends on the context and my mood.

I could say Elisabeth Bennet because she gets to be rich and marry the man of her dreams.

I could say Lucy Pevensie from the Narnia books because she is a heroine.

It would be hard to choose from any number of characters I like.

I tend to like characters I can see a bit of myself in, but also have traits I wish I had more of.

I like Winter Schnee from RWBY, Momo from MHA, and an array of characters that are kind of in between those personalities.

Honestly though, I wouldn’t swap places with them. I’ve learned how to deal with my life, I don’t think I could easily deal with theirs. Escapism is not really one of my goals anymore.

Are you superstitious?

View all responses

I can answer this one way: I have 3 black cats.

Also I open umbrellas in the house all the time, go out on Friday the 13th, and have never had anything happen.

Superstition is just a way people try to control their world through some kind of system that’s very flawed and senseless.

Some people may be sure it works, but I think they give it power over them, I don’t, and nothing ever happens to me because of “unlucky” things.

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

If it was that I switched bodies, I wouldn’t want to do it. I’ve always thought it would be easy too easy to ruin someone’s life doing that…and way awkward to use the bathroom. (Shout out to “Your Name” for at least owning up to that.)

If I was just given the job of another person, I think I’d pick the President. I’d like to know for sure what’s really going on in the government. And that seems like the way. I hope at least.

I can’t see any other benefit to being famous, honestly. It’s a hassle more than anything else.

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

View all responses

Impossible to be sure, but right now it’s paying off car repairs.

Always fun. I suppose I’m just lucky I’m not paying off College Loans instead.

Good luck to all of you with whatever challenge you’re facing.

Who are your favorite people to be around?

View all responses

Sounds corny, but my family.

I like hanging out with friends too, but my family are the ones I’m most comfortable with and who know me the best. Probably it’s because I can make jokes and know that they won’t be misunderstood (usually). Also they’re interested in more of the same subjects, and often other people have no idea what I’m talking about.

I’m lucky to have siblings who both talk to me and are interesting people.

What were your parents doing at your age?

View all responses

Dang… I’m not sure but I think they were doing mission trips, and starting up a small business. My dad also might have been in a cult at the time…

Weird mix of things. They weren’t even married yet when my Dad was my age, I think, not sure they’d even met.

And here I am, not married, been on two mission trips, and trying to start up more of my own money generating ideas…

I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in some respects.

My parents never pushed me to be like them in my career or lifestyle, since both of them thought they made a lot of mistakes as young adults and figured I should just figure out what I wanted to do myself.

So I’ve been free to explore whatever options I want, within reason.

Even though we are Christians, they also didn’t force us to practice a lot of Christian traditions beyond holidays and Bible study. I’d say we were limited, but not in a lot of very huge ways.

I never felt like they controlled my life too much as a kid, though as a young adult,my father did try to control my actions more than he should have for my maturity level. But I put a stop to it,an though I was berated for it, I got my way in the end, as I usually do.

So yeah, I can’t complain too much, and it’s funny that I still ended up doing very similar things to them even though they never told me to. Something’s are inherited after all.

But blogging and doing videos are my own thing, they never did that kind of stuff, so I guess I am original in some ways– if doing what thousands of other people do is original.

Peace out

(See that’s not original either.)

Till next time– Natasha
