27.) Ever wish you were born the opposite sex? If so, why?                 — Yes. When people judge me because I’m a girl, not because of my abilities.

37.) Do you bite your nails?                  — I used to, but not anymore.

38.) Do you drink coffee?                      — Only when I’m really desperate to stay awake. And even then I can only manage to get it in if it has three sugars.

39.) What memory would call up your personal Patronus spell? (in other words, what memory is your happiest or sweetest?):                        — In general, I don’t get much excited or that super-happy either, but hearing that I got 84th place out of 5000 in a writing competition definitely sent me into a euphoria.

40.) If I Ruled the World …                    — I’d get other people to do it for me. It’ll be less work for me (more time to read) and then I would not be morally guilty for all the bad things they would be bound to get up to.

41.) If you could have been born and grown up somewhere else, where would that have been?       — Lothlorien! Okay, okay, let’s get real: Well, I suppose somewhere in Great Britain or the Netherlands, I suppose, even though I’ve never been there.

42.) If you could do one thing or grant one wish for someone else, what would it be?                              — Probably if someone I knew well was seriously ill, grant them health again. If they wanted it, of course.

43.) If you could punch any one person from any point in history, who would you pick?          — Gavrilo Princip

44.) What fictional character do you most identify with and why?                      — Oh dear, that is difficult. Tiffany Aching, maybe? Even though she is miles younger than me!

47.) If you had the choice to live in any fictional world, as in transposed into a book/movie, which one would it be? Please explain why.
Erm, Lothlorien?
Or: Paranor or Arborlon. Or: Hogwarts.
Or… the Discworld maybe?
(This could become a long list…)

48.) Movie adaptations of books – heinous, evil and always disappointing or perfectly acceptable?    — That depends. The book is in general better than the movie, but there are exceptions.

49.) What is your biggest fear?           — Do I have to say? It’s embarrassing! Okay, I suppose it’s getting cancer or Alzheimer’s or something like that.

50.) What is your philosophy/motto in life?                  — Hmm… don’t think I’ve ever really sat and thought one up. If I could copy one now (‘cause I’m lazy)… then it would probably be the Stoics’.
