More about Me:

What other talents do you have?
Answer: I like to sing, paint, and dance. Pretty much a lot of artsy things! :)

What is one your pet peeves?
Answer: Bullies!

Do you have any pets?
Answer: I have two cats that I adopted from the humane society. I don't believe in pet stores. There's too many pets at the shelters that need homes. I would rather support those things.

What is one of your favorite animals?
Answer: The Great White Shark. I know, scary, right?  It started in grade 8.  I had to do a report on an animal and it was worth quite a bit of our mark.  The teacher had mentioned a student getting 100% on their project the year before.  I so desperately wanted to receive a 100% on my project!  Anywho, I dived right in (mind the pun, because honestly, I wouldn't dive in anywhere with sharks. ha ha).  I picked the Great White because of a fear I had of them.  I wanted to learn more about them in hopes that I wouldn't be so scared.  To make a long story short, I received 98% on my project, which I was very proud of, and I did manage to learn a lot about this type of shark.  In learning more about them, I became intrigued and not as afraid.  However, their looks are still a bit of a shocker, especially when they are surfacing from the dark water with their razor sharp teeth exposed...ok, I'm done with this question. ;)

What was the last thing that you ate that was considered a treat? 
Answer:  I had a cinnamon and chocolate chip muffin! It was delicious!

Tea or Coffee?
Lately I have been drinking coffee, but to tell you the truth I prefer tea.  Especially Ceylon Green Tea!

Jellybeans or Swedish Berries?
Answer: Candy is tasty (when you limit your intake...I'm talking to you, kids! I guess some of you adults too, that like to indulge too many times).  I would most likely choose the Swedish berries, in fact, I am sure of it.  Gummy candies of any kind are usually really good!  Although...I am not a fan of peppermint or cinnamon tasting gummys.

Facts about Roald Dahl, because frankly...who doesn't love his work?!

Roald Dahl's birthplace was Llandaff in Wales. He was born on September 13, 1916.

Roald Dahl could speak three languages - English, Norwegian and Swahili.

He was really tall. His height was 6 foot 5 inches and he was really good at sport. At school he played football and rugby. I bet he would have been good at basketball too!

Roald Dahl was a fighter pilot and he fought in World War Two.

His favourite colour in the whole world was yellow.

Roald Dahl went to several boarding schools. He was often homesick and, as a result, he didn't really enjoy school.

Sophie was the name of Roald Dahl's mother.

Roald Dahl had bluey grey eyes. When he was younger, he had brown hair, but it went grey as he got older.

Roald Dahl died in 1990.

Roald Dahl was the author of lots of fantastic children's books. Here are some of his most popular stories: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Esio Trot, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr Fox, Danny the Champion of the World, George's Marvellous Medicine, The Enormous Crocodile and The Witches (to name just a few).

Roald Dahl interests me quite a bit.  His stories are funny and great to read.  Be warned, if you do read one of his books to yourself, you may laugh out loud at times. Some of your friends or bystanders may think your a little crazy.  Hey, who cares though, because you are on an adventure my friend! Indeed, you are!
