Tagged! Farah Lily's Questions

The Liebster Award is making the rounds again, and this time Farrah Lily of Cozy Comforts and Dolls is passing around a new set of questions.  Thanks for the tag, Farrah! :)

This is an easy one: Thank your nominator, answer their questions, tag some more people, and write up some questions for them.

The questions here are less doll-centric than they usually are, and I've had fun reading along with other people's responses.  On with the questions!





1. Who is your favorite cartoon character?
Definitely going with Schmendrick from The Last Unicorn. 

"I'm Schmendrick the Magician, and I'm older than I look."
(although I confess, that's a line from the book
rather than the movie...).

2. What’s your favorite flower (or plant if you’re not a flower person)?Clematis!

These particular ones are from my mother's garden in 2005

3. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?
There was a restaurant in DC that we always used to take our out of town guests to so that they could enjoy the grasshopper tacos.  It sounds a little weird, but they're tasty bugs!

4. What was the last movie you saw (at home or in theaters)?
Deadpool.

5. If you could visit any country in the world, where would you go?

There are so many to choose from, but right now I'm hoping to visit Morocco soon - hiking the Atlas mountains, seeing Marrakesh and Casablanca, all that fun stuff!

6. How did you meet your best friend?

I usually say that my sister is my best friend, so my answer would be at home! ;)

7. What is your dream job?
Vineyard owner, but only if my vineyard is on a scenic mountain!

This was taken at a Niagara winery - very scenic, but no mountains.

8. If you could make a custom doll based on any character or real person, who would you make?
As I was saying the other day on my ThreeZero Alistair post, I'd love to see more Dragon Age 1/6th scale dolls/figures.  

Imagine some Anders and Isabela dolls!

9. What’s your favorite season?
Spring, at least until the insects come.

10. If you could talk to/understand any one species of animal, what would you choose?
Dogs, then my dog and I could have a serious discussion about why he shouldn't scratch up that one chair... 

That's right G-dog, we're going to have a serious conversation.

11. If you could instantly learn any language, what would you choose?
That's another tough one, but I'll go with Spanish (runners up: Cantonese and Italian).  Although frankly I'd probably be happy just brushing up on the languages I already speak but am letting slide!

And that's it! The final rule of the Liebster Award to tag more people to join in on the fun (as always, no pressure if you're not in the mood to play along, and if someone else has recently tagged you, apologies if you've had enough of these). I'm tagging: Shasha, AlasseCarnesir, Muff, Vanessa, and Irene. And if you haven't been tagged already (or have been but want to go for another round), feel free to tag yourself! :)

Here's the next group of questions (inspired by this set, but with a different spin):
1. Your favourite doll or figure comes to life! What's the first thing they say?
2. If your favourite doll or figure was a flower, what flower would they be?
3. If your favourite doll or figure came to life, where would you take them for dinner?
4. If you could have any company make any doll, who and what would that be?
5. If your best friend were a doll, what doll would they be?
6. Do you imagine that any of your dolls came to life, they'd speak languages that you don't (or on the flip side, do you imagine that your dolls don't understand some/any of the languages you speak)?
7. Do you own any movie tie-in dolls?
8. Do you have a travelling gnome-type doll who goes on holiday with you?
9. Have you ever taken a doll to work (or if you have an army of toys on your desk, how do you decide which ones to keep there)?
10. If you could commission a jointed animal doll, what would it look like?
11. What do you think your collecting style says about you as a person?

And that's it! Thanks for reading along.
