Questions from 50 Questions to Get to Know Yourself and Others
What are your nicknames? What do you prefer to be called?
Well, I prefer to be called Sarah, as that's the name I was born with. I've been called nicknames such as Sarah Marinara in the past, but since I'm good friends with another Sarah, I go by Beta and she goes by Alpha (as she's lived here longer). Need proof?
What books on your shelf are begging to be read?
The rest of the Lord of the Rings series, the Lord of Opium (the sequel to the House of the Scorpion), Looking for Alaska, and the Legend series.
How often do you doodle? What do your doodles look like?
I doodle a lot. It tends to be more in Algebra 2 when we're going over work that I already know. I have a little part in my agenda where I draw, or I draw manga/anime people. I would show it to you, but I got rid of all my loose papers and graded work yesterday and don't have them anymore :(
What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn? Try to get up and do something productive?
My typical routine does include tossing and turning, yes :) but I also have a little story that I play through in my head that helps me go to sleep. It typically involves meeting a celebrity and becoming friends with them or something along those lines – it changes almost every night.
How many days could you last in solitary confinement? How would you do it?
Well, I don't know if I'm really cut out to say. . .if I had a camera or some paper and a pencil so I could do things, then I'd be fine for a long time because I could draw or take pictures or record myself and make a diary or something, but if I were in like a concrete box, then probably much shorter. I could always sing, though, like, run through my whole playlist of songs ever in my head.
Do you save old greeting cards and letters? Throw them away?
Why yes. . .
Yes I do. Most of them are postcards to me from my grandma and poppa when I was little, like the one on the top, or from my grammie, like the one in the middle, or they're cards from my friends, like one on the bottom.
I don't party (but maybe the second one?).
What is your strongest sense? If you had to give one up, which would it be?
Strongest sense? Definitely sight. Just kidding. I have a pretty good sense of hearing I think, but I would give up taste if I had to. Hey, I would eat all the healthy things without complaining, right?
How many times a day do you look at yourself in the mirror?
A couple times in the morning, once after first period to make sure my hair doesn't look too crazy from being outside in the humidity, maybe once after that over the course of the school day, and maybe once or twice when I go to bed, because there's one above my sink and it's hard NOT to look at yourself when you're in there because it takes up half the wall. So maybe five or six?
What is the strangest thing you
I referred to myself in the third person. I think I called myself Baby Sasa, and despite the fact that it happened twelve years ago my dad won't let me forget it.
What is one guilty pleasure you enjoy too much to give up?
Watching YouTube videos – a LOT of YouTube videos.
How often do you read the newspaper? Which paper? Which sections?
I don't read the PAPER newspaper but watch Jimmy Fallon's monologue every night where he talks about world events. Does that count?
Which animals scare you most? Why?
Spiders, because
*shivers*
Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest?
The ghetto.
Just kidding, the beach :) There's also a really cute farmer's market on Sundays that I like to take family and family friends to visit.
What position do you sleep in?

What’s your all-time favorite town or city? Why?
Small town-wise, totally Park City. In the summer, it's the perfect temperature. In the fall, the leaves on the trees on the mountains are just beautiful. It looks pretty in the winter, too, but I can only put up with the snow for so long.
Big-city, I think it's a tie. I really like New York City because it feels so big and full of opportunity – like I could go to a different restaurant every night for ten years. But at the same time, I also like San Francisco because it's so different. It's pretty there, too.

If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?
Mac/MacKenzie. . .but that's my middle name, does that count?
If not, I've always liked the name Quinn, but I don't know if it suits me.
When do you find yourself singing?
Everywhere – the shower, when I'm home alone, when I'm bored at school, etc.

If you could paint a picture of any scenery you’ve seen before, what would you paint?
Something in Park City. . . Ecker Hill in the fall, maybe?
If you could choose anyone, who would you pick as your mentor?
I'm assuming this would be for a job, in which I would pick being an animator for a movie or something. If I were serious, I would pick someone like Wayne Unten, whose animations are featured in Frozen, Wreck-It-Ralph, and Tangled. For fun and if animation was going to be more of a hobby, I would pick someone like Jordan Maron, who animates Minecraft characters for original and parody music videos.

Maybe when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon?

Some sort of film – short film, editing, special effects, etc.

Another hard one! I have a list again:
- Alex Morgan
- Nelson Mandela
- Jennifer Lawrence
- Tom Hiddleston
- Walt Disney
If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
Besides call my friends and family and scream and cry? Probably set aside money for college (I know, I know), and then travel the world for the summer or maybe the year, I don't know!
If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?
Hermione Granger. SHE. KNOWS. MAGIC.

- My brother fell down in / near the ocean when I was four and I ran as fast as my mom to try and help him back up from the waves and I guess I made my mom cry
I was with it at the age of four.
