Red or Blue?
Blue, because it matches my eyes.
Facebook or Google +?
I have Facebook, but I don’t check it obsessively (like some people I know do.) I don’t even have Google +!
Macaroni and Cheese or Peanut Butter-Jelly sandwich?
Mac and Cheese. I used to eat it all the time when I was younger.
Past or Present?
The past—I love learning about the different ways people lived in other times.
Work or Play?
If reading for fun counts as play, then definitely play. I always get my work done first though.
Boyfriend time or time with girlfriends?
Boyfriend time. Balancing my boyfriend time with time with my girlfriends is something I need to work on. I think my friends get frustrated with me sometimes.
TV or movies?
TV, because I feel like you can get to know the characters better when watching them every week on a television show.
Apricots or Peaches?
Peaches, because they’re sweeter.
White horse or mustang convertible?
A white horse sounds romantic.
Hot or Cold?
Hot! I really don’t like cold weather. (Which makes living in New Hampshire in the winter pretty rough.)
Morning or Night?
I’m a morning person. I have no problem getting out of bed when my alarm goes off (sometimes I even wake up five minutes before the alarm goes off.) I have trouble staying up late—I get so sleepy!
Jacob or Edward?
Edward. Jacob is a little too reckless for my taste, with all the motorcycling and cliff jumping.
Poptarts or Cereal?
Cereal, specifically Cheerios.
Hot Chocolate or Coffee?
Neither—my hot drink of choice is tea. I suppose if I had to choose it would be hot chocolate (if the chocolate wasn’t too strong), because the taste of coffee grosses me out.
Mountains or Beach?
Beach! I love quality beach time with my Kindle.
Dark Hair or Light Hair?
I’m partial to dark hair on guys.
Fall or Spring?
Spring, because it means summer is approaching.
Christmas or Halloween?
Christmas—I absolutely love Christmastime! The evergreen trees, twinkling lights, and fun decorations make winter more enjoyable.
Character Interview with Lizzie
This character interview was held by Molli from Once Upon a Prologue. Lizzie’s answers are by Michelle Madow.
http://www.onceuponaprologue.blogspot.com
Molli: What is the one thing that has surprised you the most about Drew?
Lizzie: How he can be on the same wave-length as me, without me having to say anything. When I was dating Jeremy, it was sometimes a chore to explain my point of view and get him to understand it. He tried, but we viewed situations differently, so it could be difficult to be on the same page as him. With Drew, sometimes it’s like his thoughts are an extension on mine—he takes in situations the same way, and naturally understands how I feel about things.
Molli: If you could spend one day doing exactly what you wanted, what would it be, and why?
Lizzie: First of all, my perfect day would consist of not having to worry about anything—whether that is homework, or trying to stop my death in the past from happening again in the present. I would want to spend that day with Drew, in England, doing as many tourist activities as possible!
Molli: Who is your hero and why?
Lizzie: Jane Austen, for writing such incredible and inspiring novels.
Molli: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Lizzie: In college, majoring in English and minoring in Art.
Molli: What one song would you say describes you and Drew?
Lizzie: The first song that comes to mind when I think of Drew is “Minuet,” because the songs means so much to both of us. The lyrics to “Love Story” by Taylor Swift remind me a lot of our relationship, too ;)
Molli: How have your impressions of Drew changed from when you first met?
Lizzie: My impression of Drew has changed greatly from the first time we met. At first, I felt connected to him, but wasn’t sure why. Then he treated me coldly, and I honestly thought he was a jerk. (Although I still couldn’t get rid of that connection I felt to him, which was quite irritating!) Now that I know him and understand why he acted the way he did, I learn more every day how sweet and loving he is.
Molli: How does it make you feel, knowing you lived a life before this one?
Lizzie: There are so many days when I wake up and am amazed that I lived a previous life. It’s incredible to think about, and it’s also assuring to have concrete proof that life doesn’t end at death.
Molli: What three things are most important to you?
Lizzie: My family, Drew, and my friends. People are more important than anything else, because they are irreplaceable.
Molli: What is your favorite memory of Drew?
Lizzie:
Past life—When he proposed to me in the field outside my house.
Present life—When he showed me the music box after the first time we went out on the lake.
Molli: What is the best advice you were ever given?
Lizzie: My mom always tells me not to react to situations immediately, and to give myself time to “mull things over” before coming to a conclusion. I try to do that as often as I can, although sometimes it can be difficult!
Lizzie’s Top Ten Favorite Love Stories
1) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen – Lizzie and Mr. Darcy (Book, the BBC miniseries, and the 2005 movie)
This is Lizzie’s favorite love story of all time, because it’s the one she relates to the most. She saw the movie in middle school and fell in love with it, but didn’t read the book until it was assigned for her AP English class at the start of her junior year. She fell in love with the book. Realizing that a lot from the book was left out of the movie, she watched the BBC miniseries, since it is much more detailed. She loved that, too!
2) Twilight by Stephenie Meyer – Edward and Bella (book series)
Lizzie read the first Twilight book in 2005 when it came out, and she was hooked! She loves the romance between Bella and Edward, and is 100% Team Edward. But while she loves the books, she wasn’t a big fan of the movies.
3) The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa – Meghan and Ash (book series)
This is also one of Lizzie’s favorite book series. She enjoyed the first one, but for her the love story between Meghan and Ash really bloomed in the second book of the series, The Iron Daughter. This series has an amazing love story with some heartbreaking moments!
4) Titanic – Jack and Rose (movie)
Because the love story in Titanic is heartbreaking and intense. It’s too bad Jack has to die at the end!
5) Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare – Clary and Jace (book series)
The love between Clary and Jace is so intense in this book, because it’s forbidden and yet the reader is rooting for them anyway! Hopefully the movie will be a good representation of the book. Luckily, Lizzie discovered this series over the summer, so she was able to read them straight through.
6) Moulin Rouge – Christian and Satine (movie)
Lizzie and Chelsea watch this movie together all the time when they have sleepovers. The music is wonderful, as is the love story. If only Satine didn’t die at the end!
7) Downton Abbey – Mary and Matthew (TV series)
Lizzie loves this television series, and watched it in a marathon over the summer. The love story between Mary and Matthew takes a long time to grow, but they eventually get past all their troubles to be together. Lizzie’s favorite episode is the Christmas special, when Matthew finally proposes to Mary, and she says yes.
8) The Vampire Diaries – Elena and Damon (TV series)
Lizzie has read the original four books, but she prefers the television seri
es. She wishes Elena would let things happen with Damon, though, instead of continuously pining for Stefan. (And vampire Elena ROCKS.)
9) William and Kate (Real Life Love Story!)
Lizzie adores William and Kate’s love story, and loved watching the royal wedding on TV. It’s a fairy tale come to life.
10) The OC – Ryan and Marissa AND Seth and Summer (TV series)
Lizzie and Drew have been watching the DVD’s of The OC together, and Lizzie is loving it! She especially loves the first episode, when Ryan and Marissa first meet.
Lizzie’s Top Five Favorite Books
1) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Lizzie was assigned to read Pride and Prejudice in the beginning of her junior year for her AP English class. It was also her favorite book in her past life, and reading it helped her start to remember the life she lived in Regency Era, England. The love story between Lizzie and Mr. Darcy is one of her favorites.
2) The Luxe by Anna Godbersen
Lizzie loves historical romance, and she adored all the books in this series. She loves how the lives of the main characters are intertwined. Her favorite character is Diana, and she wishes Diana had a happier ending with Henry. Also, the covers of these books are gorgeous!
3) The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
Again, Lizzie loves historical fiction. This story of Anne and Mary Boleyn was wonderfully told! She loves all the books in the Tudors series by Philippa Gregory. The series does a fantastic job of bringing the wives of Henry VIII to life.
4) Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Because this is one of the best book series of all time.
5) Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Lizzie loves the love story between Bella and Edward. She read the first book in 2005, and has been a huge fan since. She kept trying to convince Chelsea to read it, but Chelsea waited until before the movie came out when the series became more mainstream.
