Hank's survey
For everyone who has been following Brotherhood2.o over on John Green's blog, you'll recognize the following as Hank's survey, which I am now going to complete.
For those of you who aren't following B2o--why not?
1. Your name:
Ally Carter
2. Your Web page:
www.allycarter.com
3 What have you been up to this past year (please be as detailed as possible, because we actually want to know)?
I've been writing and rewriting my current book, CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY, welcoming my sister's new baby into the world, and putting on a significant amount of weight.
4 How much longer do you think you'll be doing what you're doing?
Hopefully not much longer--at all.
5 Why are you doing it?
Because the laws of nature dictate that I must welcome the new baby and my editor dictates that I must finish the book and I dictate that I can't write without eating at the computer.
6 What do you want to be doing?
Watching Veronica Mars and sleeping all day.
7 What's next in your life?
Hopefully watching Veronica Mars and sleeping all day.
8 How You Doin'?
Fine.
9 What's the best book you read this year?
My Antonia by Willa Cather, an oldie but a goodie.
10 Describe a perfect day?
My alma mater wins some sporting event; my mother cooks a big meal; my sister's girls play and my dad takes me out to show me the baby calves
11 Assuming that all things come to an end...how do you think humans will go extinct?
I'm rusty on my Revelations, but I think it's in there somewhere.
12 How are you feeling about kids these days?
Fine, unless they're my sole responsibility, then I get a little panicky.
13 (- In this space, compose your own question, and answer it -)
Is your new book going to be worth all the effort?
I sincerely hope so.
14 Ambrozzo tastes better than anything else, what does ambrozzo taste like?
I honestly have no clue.
15 If you were a cliché, what cliché would you be?
I'd be the silver lining in every cloud.
16 What is your least favorite part of any given day?
Waking up.
17 Do you enjoy science fiction?
In its high-end form and in limited doses.
18 Cheese or Chocolate?
Tough call, but I think I've got to go with chocolate.
19 Where would you live if you could live anywhere?
On that big place with the spring across from the church at home.
20 What was your first concert?
I have vague recollections of an Oak Ridge Boys experience with my parents but don't quote me on that.
21 If you could start a business that would be instantly successful, what kind of business would it be?
I've always wanted to have a restaurant or a catering company or something like that.
22 Invisibility or Time Travel?
I'm a writer on a deadline. Are you kidding me? TIME TRAVEL!
23. What's wrong with the world?
A general lack of common sense.
Okay, that's Hank's survey. At least I can cross one thing off my list today!

I'll answer a few:
11. Phew, this is going to be long, because I have a few theorys on this, but I'll just name one. I just recently read that some scientists have taken semen from a Wooly Mamoth and they're trying to reproduce it. Hello people!! Did you learn nothing from Jurassic Park?!?! I think that if they are able to do this, it will send the Earth back, and knock everything out of whack, and the next thing you know it's the Ice Age and the human race siece's (spelling??) to exist. It's really complicated, I know, sorry! I could explain it better, but I don't have a lot of time!
13. Will that cute (PERFECT) guy at the bookstore and I ever date? ANSWER: YES!!!!!!!!!!
22. Time travel, all the way! I'd want to go in the past, like the Victorian era, and I'd also want to go to the future. I know I can't, but I'd just really like to know how my life turns out. But I have to be patient!
24. Everything! We're begining to rely too much on machines. I would just like to challenge everyone to just go one day without watching TV, or getting on the computer (even though I wouldn't be able to do this!) or driving in their car. We're cutting down too many trees, and building in areas that don't need buildings! Everything and everyone is too close, one day it's going to come back to haunt us!
Wow, this has become one really long comment! Sorry, Ally!! ~C
I have been to B20 and watched some videos. I hope you are doing well and having fun. As for number 13, I think that my question is whether or not i can stop being a book addict? Answer: No Way!!!!!!!!
