Operation: Steal Your Blog Friend’s Post Idea

*Quick reminder that the Sprouted Planner Giveaway—two winners!!!—closes tomorrow (12 November) at 5 pm AST. If you haven’t entered to win, now’s the time!*

When Suzanne blogged her answers to the following five questions, I immediately knew I was going to steal borrow… copy the idea. (And huge thanks to Michelle for providing the original fodder.)

• Which actor would play you in a movie about your life?

My first thought was Cate Blanchett because I think she’s one of the most versatile actresses in Hollywood.

If I was choosing my FAVOURITE actress, it would be Emily Blunt. I love her accent and find her utterly hilarious.

I took things a step further and followed Suzanne’s lead and asked AI for its hot take.

Here was the result:

I love the idea of Tina Fey, but do feel like Rachel McAdams is a closer match for my vibe.

• What’s a current trend you just don’t get?

Super long, fancy acrylic nails. I just do not get the appeal. And they’re so expensive. Every time I see people trying to type on a phone—or do basically anything that requires their hands—while manoeuvring around obscenely long FAKE NAILS, I struggle to comprehend the logic.

Give me short nails ALL THE WAY.

• What is your favourite time of day?

Early evening. It’s been my favourite time of day for many, many years. I love the post-dinner calm, especially this time of year. Of course, many evenings we have places to be, which is considerably less delightful for this introvert.

• If you could go anywhere for a week alone, where would you go?

Scotland? Can you tell I didn’t get nearly enough of that place when I visited earlier this year?

I also think it would be dreamy to spend a week on a sunny island. Somewhere that requires zero itinerary, with good food, a relaxed pace of life, and warm sunshine. I’d spend most of the week reading. I’m thinking somewhere in Greece?

• What is something that would surprise your readers?

Just how low my energy levels really are! I think I can come across as extroverted (to a certain extent) and high-energy, but I love COPIOUS amounts of alone time. I naturally have very low energy levels (I suspect I could nap every single day of the year) and get tired out by social engagements very, very quickly.

Your turn:

• Which actor would play you in a movie about your life?
• What’s a current trend you just don’t get?
• What is your favourite time of day?
• If you could go anywhere for a week alone, where would you go?
• What is something that would surprise your readers [or, if you don’t have a blog, friends and acquaintances]?
