The Semi-American Girl
Otherwise known as the Keeper of this Blog.
~~~
Name: Sarah
Nicknames: Bea, Harp, and The Editor.
Age: Between the ages of 10 and 21.
Favorite Things:
Quote(s): ”Not all who wander are lost” – Tolkien, in his poem All that is gold does not glitter.
“Never is an awfully long time.” – Wendy Darling, from Peter & Wendy (commonly known as “Peter Pan”) by J.M. Barrie.
“One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know.” – Groucho Marx in Animal crackers.
“From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.” – Groucho Marx.
“Go, and never darken my towels again.” – Groucho Marx.
“I am not a bloody little frog… I am a bloody little Belgium!” – Hercule Poirot to Colonel Curtiss, The Spanish Chest by Agatha Christie.
Hercule Poirot: “I am an imbecile, I see only half of the picture.” Miss Lemon: “I don’t even see that.” – Agatha Christie.
Movie: I have no favorite movie. I enjoy fantasy films (like Labyrinth), and I have a love for Hercule Poirot movies, as well as Miss Marple and Midsummer Murders. For comedy I will turn to the Marx Brothers (Animal Crackers is one of my favorites from them) or John Cleese (Fawlty Towers is a winner), as well as the Three Stooges occasionally. I dislike most of the newer things, but have been known to find a few favorites.
I stay mostly away from romance, however if you’re looking for one I recommend Chocolat or Stardust.
Song: David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?“. In fact, David Bowie is probably the only artist I really keep tabs on. A search on him also led me to the band “The Divine Comedy”, another favorite.
Color: Green, more often then not.
Food: Fruit, some types of pasta, and salads. For breakfast, I love having Eggs Benedict or (if I feel like it) I have pancakes with chocolate chips.
Book: People who know me would never ask that.
Physical item: Ah, now, despite not being a material person – that is still a hard question. I haven’t much, but what I have a love, so how am I to choose a favorite thing?
Hobbies: Photography, writing, reading, sleeping (and dreaming).
Catch-phrase: “Quite possibly.”
Guilty pleasure: Phish Food (Ben & Jerry’s ice cream).
Small fears: Pink smoothies make me nervous, I think they’re going to turn into a boneless cat and try to eat me (thanks to this comic).
