Well, here we are- the last day of March Muchness and I'm just now answering the questions for the Wonderland tag. #oops
This month has felt like it lasted about two seconds. One second I was ready for it to come in, and now I'm sitting here blinking because I think it came in the wrong door and took a quick exit. And somehow over thirty-one days, I failed to do this post until the very. last. one. XD But it's fine. (*suddenly wonders if I should have waited until tomorrow and opened with "I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!")
Anyway, that's enough rambling. Read on for my answers to the March Muchness tag!
List six impossible things you’d love to do – wild and crazy answers 100% welcome!
- Find a time machine and go back in time to visit some of my favorite moments
- Find a sugar-free version of every ice cream and coffee flavor
- Write a book perfectly the first time
- Visit Narnia
- Fly
- Conquer my TBR
I think these are all very sensible desires and I don't understand why they're not attainable.
What is a topic that grew curiouser and curiouser the more you studied/researched it?
I'm going to go broad here and say history. I've never been a huge history fan (unless we're talking American Girl books here), but over the past years- probably thanks to books and movies, let's be honest- I've become more and more intrigued by different time periods. And though I haven't done much research into them (outside of reading historical fiction XD), it's something I'd love to go deeper into eventually!
If you could invite three fictional characters to a tea party, who would they be?
THIS IS SO HARD. But I'll grab a few that I think would be fun...
- Mr. Tumnus. I mean, why WOULDN'T I want him there? He could bring sardines and toast (never had it but if Lucy liked it it must be good), and after tea he could play a tune for us. It would be a grand time.
- Princess Anna. I don't know why she popped into my head, but I just feel like she would be SO fun to have a tea party. And she could bring sandwiches.
- Steve Rogers. As my date.
Which Wonderland character do you feel you’re the most like?
I mean, I've got to say Alice. Because I, too, wander around aimlessly not knowing what's going on. xD
- If you could drink a magic potion that changed one thing about you, what would it be?
Um... motivation levels?? Like, seriously, give me a potion that turned all my procrastination into motivation and I'll be forever indebted to you. xD
How IS a raven like a writing desk?
The only thing that comes to my mind as an answer to this question is Edgar Allan Poe. Take that however you will. xD
If you were to make an enemy of Father Time, what time in the day would you choose to repeat?
I'm trying to come up with an answer to this question that doesn't involve more time in bed, and I'm failing. xD But seriously, those moments either just after you wake when you still have some time before you have to get up (aka, the hour in which I'm repeately hitting snooze), or the ones just before you fall asleep? When you're so comfortable and cozy? I'd love to repeat those. xD
If you fell down a rabbit hole, what would the land you pop into look like?
Hopefully Narnia, because honestly I'm not sure you could pay me to go to Wonderland. xD It's interesting but I'd be seriously creeped out if I went there. Maybe my rabbit hole will lead to the Freedom Fighters' headquarters from Sonic the Hedgehog. *shrug*
If you could have the body of one type of creature and the head of another (for example, the Mock Turtle has the body of a turtle and the head of a calf), what would that combination be and why?
I'm pretty sure I'd want the body of some kind of bird, maybe an eagle, because I desperately want to fly. As for the head? Uhh... I have no idea. Anything I imagine slapped on the body of an eagle just sounds ridiculously creepy and I don't like it. xD So, I'll cheat here and say another bird. How about the body of an eagle with the head of an owl? Then not only will I be super cool-looking, but I can watch my six and fly at the same time.
Have you read or written anything stylistically close to Alice in Wonderland? Tell us about it.
My mind is going blank and I can't come up with anything. I feel like at some point in my childhood I probably wrote something as random and wacky as Alice in Wonderland, though. xD
If you could either be as tall as a tree or as small as a mouse for an hour, which would you choose and what would you do?
I'd definitely want to be as small as a mouse. As a kid I probably would have chosen to hang out in my dollhouses, but those are in storage now so that's no good. Honestly, I'd probably just find a super cozy blanket and take a nap in it. xD
If you could give your younger or future self one piece of Very Good Advice, what would it be?
I think I would just encourage my younger self to breathe and grab the moments. I feel like this is something most of us don't learn to do until we're older, and then we have all these years behind us that we wish we would have appreciated more. There are definitely some times in the past I could have soaked in a little better. So, I would tell little Emily to look around, stop wishing for later, and just breathe in now.
And that's a wrap on March Muchness! I had so much fun putting this tag together with some blogger friends and answering the questions. Click HERE for the post where I linked to everyone else's blogs, because I really don't feel like doing that again. XD And here are those questions just in case you'd like to do the tag fashionably late:

Go forth and answer! I hope you guys have had a lovely March/beginning of spring. I'm currently wearing a sweater and wondering why spring is always so confused. xD If you can point me to a geographical location where the seasons actually stay in their lines and give us the weather we're expecting, let me know so I can pack my bags and move there ASAP.
