"Get to know you" Game(:

[Ingrid, Just another writer.]

good luck to you.

universities i am ambling for:

University of Iowa
John Hopkins University
Emory University
Cornell University
Columbia University
(I don't want to go to Yale or Harvard...sry!)

[L]

Good Luck!

Here in the UK the Universities that interest me are a London one, but also Brighton (although being good their entry requirements are high).

Good luck also with getting your work published in a magazine or other media. I have always been told that if you want to do something in life, then to get out there and try! :) x

[Ingrid, Just another writer.]

yes. i always knew i could do magazines and have them publish me but i just didn't find myself lost in any of my articles or poems.

good luck in your dreams!!!

Hey there! I fence.

[Ingrid, Just another writer.]

cool! i watched a tv shows (icarly, kids show) about an episode with fencing and it seems so cool! except my mom would probably kill me with one of those if she caught me fencing.

Strange how you can find a group on Goodreads and be writing with complete strangers and somehow feel like you've reunited with a long lost friend or two. I feel like i know you people when i don't really at all

[Ingrid, Just another writer.]

Exactly. It's like you've been searching and when you're on the internet doing the things you love, turns out a thousand other people are too.

I completely agree. It is so nice to be able to converse with people who understand my passion and love of writing, and the enjoyment that i have with reading. Also, understanding the power of ones imagination (i am always told that i have a vivid imagination), that is alive when creating a new world and creatures that spring to life on paper.

I already did and intend on doing it again!
Anyone want to meet someone who's been dead for over three hundred years? (such as... say... hmm... Lorenzo de' Medici or... hmm... Dante Alighieri?)

[Tara ♪]

Hmmm.... Perhaps... I'd love to meet Gluck and Rossini, but I believe they're only about 200 years dead?...

Does anyone want to perform for the president/prime minister, etc.? :)

[Emma]

Yes yes yes! That would be amazing!!

Ever wanted to fly over the poles in a plane?

[Tara ♪]

Oh, that would be cool. I've been to a glacier in a helicopter. That's probably as close as I'll get, though. :)

Does something ever happen and you just get song lyrics popping into your head. (Like, for me, if something good happens, I think of "O Praise the Mighty Lord" by Handel) :)

[Jenn]

Once in a while, yes.

Anyone ever wished they knew another language solely to be able to read books in that language in their original, untranslated format?

[Emma]

OH MY GOSH YES.

That's how I learned Italian. Now I speak like I'm from 1478 or 1786.

Ever wished you had a different name? (and what would it be?)

[Tara ♪]

I don't actually wish I had another name (because I can't imagine being called anything else) but I do like long, pretty names. I even have a list. :)

Do you ever have really strange de ja vu moments?

[L]

yeah! you know that odd feelin' and the sensation of being on the brink of an epiphany?

Have you ever had a 'leg-up'/ sling up onto a horse{equestrian people only here} and cause your lightweight, you've been slung off the other side?!

Hahaha :) I've had some crazy moments in my life!

[Artsolameelian]

I know that dreadful feeling where you had a brilliant idea and you forget it and no matter how hard you try to remember it, you can't.

[Emma]

Ugh I know that feeling! Its so bad! but obviously you forgot it because it's not important enough. You'll surely come up with something better.

[Artsolameelian]

Oh no, not with me. With me its always suuuper important and specific. But yea, I like to think as I go along I will find it again.

[Artsolameelian]

I'd like a hat made of Shiny purple feathers

[Emma]

Go buy a hat and some feathers and let's do it !!

I want to play my violin piece without my wrists hurting :P

[Artsolameelian]

Just use some magic on those wrists
