[Conina]

What is your favorite.....

Book? As a series either Narnia or Discworld. Stand alone is probably The Last Unicorn or Scaramouche

Movie? LOTR trilogy or The Importance of Being Earnest

Color? Green

Food? Thai or Ethiopian

Actor/Actress? James Franco (loved him since Freaks and Geeks) / Anne Hathaway (loved her in everything I've seen her do)

TV Show? House, Smallville, The Tenth Kingdom, Freaks and Geeks

Season/Month? Fall/September (My rationale is that Fall requires less protection against the elements than other seasons. Spring demands allergy medications, Summer demands bug spray and sunscreen, Winter demands warm clothing and heated houses. In autumn scents of cinnamon, pumpkin pie, and yummy breads in the air, and the scraggly oak trees near my house become absolutely stunning when they turn golden and crimson. September is the most glorious of the autumn season and my birthday.)

Dessert? Cheesecake or chocolate chip cookies

[Weirdo]

For me:

Book: AH! Why me...ok, it's between Return of the King, Mockingjay, and the Last Battle
Movie: Captain America
Color: Blue
Food: STEAK!
Actor/Actress: hm....maybe William Mosely.
TV Show: Emergency!
Season/Month: Autumn
Dessert: Dark chocolate/espresso cake

[Djaq]

Book? It would be cliche to say that it's the Bible, wouldn't it? Otherwise, Two Are Better Than One is all that's coming to mind (or anything by C.S. Lewis, esp. the Chronicles of Narnia.).

Movie? Secondhand Lions comes to mind, as well as Gods and Generals. (and I also like lots of fluffy chick flicks, but I'm drawing a blank on the titles. )

Color? Every shade of blue, and yellow.

Food? Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas made with homemade corn tortillas are high up there!

Actor/Actress? Sean Astin as Sam in LotR was wonderful, so he's definitely a favorite, along with Robert Duvall in basically everything I've seen him in. Oh, and I also like Benjamin Stone. Favorite actress is...currently escaping me. Probably Georgie Henley.

TV Show? BBC Robin Hood. No question.

Season/Month? My favorite season is definitely Autumn! If I were to narrow it down to a month, I would probably say November (NaNoWriMo and a 5K race take place then, and those are both great reasons to get excited ).

Dessert? My sister invented something we call Hello Angelas (or Hahas). It's brownies with shredded coconut, chopped almonds, chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk on top. They're quite possibly the best thing since floatable soap!

Time to go cook dinner now. I'll add more later.

[flambeau]

Fun topic!

Book? Quite possibly The Virginian; it's amazing! There are many other books that I love, but I won't start on them 'cause I might not be able to stop.

Movie? Hmmm, this one's tough. I love Gods and Generals and pretty much adore Secondhand Lions. The Walden Narnia movies are pretty high on the list, and I also really enjoy old Jimmy Stewart movies.

Actor/Actress? Robert Duvall is pretty much amazing in everything I've seen him in. Jimmy Stewart is definitely on the list as well. My favorite actress is probably... I don't know. EDIT: Lucy Griffiths or Georgie Henley!

TV Show? BBC Robin Hood and Bonanza.

Color? Probably green or red.

Season/Month? Fall/October. Pretty colors!

Food? Homemade Pretzels.... *mouth waters*

Dessert? Chocolate Chip or Monster cookies.

Band? Favorite artist is Josh Wilson. I don't know that I have a favorite band.

Song? I love many, but topping the list is Before the Morning by Josh Wilson; it is gorgeous and has made a very huge impact on my life.

Number? ... 16, maybe? I don't know.

Sean Astin as Sam in LotR was wonderful, so he's definitely a favorite...

I agree with your assessment of his portrayal of Sam; he was spot on!

[Liberty Hoffman]

Book? ooh, so hard to choose just one! I guess my current favorite would be "The Homelanders" series by Andrew Klavan

Movie? again, so hard to choose just one - so I guess right now it will have to be "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader"

Color? pink

Food? mashed potatoes

Actor/Actress? hard to pick just one of each - but here goes:
actor - Nathan Gamble
actress - Annasophia Robb

TV Show? "Boy Meets World" - best show to grace TV ever (IMO )

Season/Month? summer; July

Dessert? chocolate chips

[Miss Rosario]

Book: Oooh, so hard to choose. The Harry Potter series is definitely high up there, and Pride & Prejudice and To Kill a Mockingbird come as close seconds. And, of course, that's only to name a few - there are many, many more. But don't get me started, I could ramble about them for hours.

Movie: LOTR and Gladiator. I also tend to love chick flicks and fluffy romantic movies. Typical female, I know.

Color: Green. (Real shocker there. )

Food: Homemade bread, egg rolls, fresh fruits, biscuits and gravy.

Actor/Actress: Alan Rickman, Geoffrey Rush, Russell Crowe... and a favorite actress is currently escaping me. Maybe Romola Garai or Helena Bonham Carter? I really don't know.

TV show: The Mentalist.

Season/Month: Autumn. It is such a beautiful time of year where I live, and the freshness of the season is invigorating.

Dessert: Mint chocolate chip ice cream, hands down. I could eat an entire carton of that stuff.

Band: Probably Evanescence.

Song: This is another tough one. I love so many, and it's difficult to single out one favorite; "Stand in the Rain" by Superchick would be near the top of the list though. I find it especially meaningful due to the struggles I have been facing these past few years. The words are so encouraging and full of hope. (Flam, "Before the Morning" is a dearly loved song of mine as well. The words are incredible. )

Number: 17
