Day 21

21. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you do with is first?

This is one that I have a hard time with because there are 4 superpowers that I want:

1. To be able to be invisible: I'm creepy, and I like to people watch. It'd be nice to be able to people watch without people knowing I'm watching (creepy, right?).
2. To be able to fly: I know  this is pretty typical, but I have a ton of flying dreams. I think I'd love it. 
3. To be able to speak/read and understand any language: Could you imagine the possibilities? I don't need access to every single language all the time; I just want to be able to speak, read, and understand any language I'm confronted with. 
4. To be a witch: This isn't technically a superpower, but it also kind of is.

3 days in one: 18, 19, & 20

18. What has been the most difficult thing you have had to forgive?

This will sound petty and lame, but my hardest moment of forgiveness was when I had to forgive my parents for sending my sister on an all-expenses-paid trip to Europe. I was pissed. I don't hold grudges, but I held that one for quite a while. 
 
19. If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?

New England...or Old England ;) I'm not picky. (This is mostly because I've always wanted to live in England, and I totally fell in love with the UK while we were there for a brief week; however, I could probably live in New England because it looks like old England, but we'd still be in the states, which means we could get a retirement plan.) 
 
20. Describe 3 significant memories from your childhood.

(These are just the first 3 that popped into my head)
1. When I was a kid in Hawaii, we had a macadamia nut tree in our yard. We used to climb it and pick the ripe nuts (or walk around under the tree and find the freshly-fallen nuts), and we'd get my dad's hammer and put the nuts in the cracks in the sidewalk. (Have you ever tried to crack a nut with a hammer? Nuts are round....they just roll away, hence the sidewalk cracks.) We'd crack the nuts with a hammer and pick out the bits of nut from the cracked shell and eat them. 

2.  When I lived in San Pedro, California, my best bud, Nikki, and I made up a dance for "That Don't Impress Me Much" by Shania Twain. I think I still remember some dance moves. :)

3. I also remember trying to save a little bird with Nikki. We named the bird Hopscotch, and when he died, we buried him on top of the hill, so he'd have a view of the ocean.

Day 16 & 17

16. What are 5 of your greatest accomplishments?

My five greatest accomplishments?
1. Writing two books of my five-book series.
2. Saving someone's life (I was a life guard...I saved a lot of lives...mostly the same little kid over and over again....)
3. Staying in touch with some of my best friends even though we are many miles apart (plus you add in all the moves. Seriously, it's impressive we still have each other).
4. Reading. I think reading is always an accomplishment (and I'm running out of things here).
5. My Franken-blanket. It took me almost three years to finish, but finish I did. :)
 
17. What is the thing you most wish you were great at?

There are two things: singing and finding cheap flights.

Day 15

15.If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

Seriously? This is the easiest thing to answer: I'd be a cat, so I could lounge around and sleep all day, and no one would judge me....or if they did, it wouldn't matter because I would be a cat. Cats don't care.
