lovelyluna- tagged me so I decided to publish my answers here. The next chapter of "The Holmes Called A" will be out soon!!

   I don't use any of these. Sirius XM and Apple Music are currently what I use though.

2. Is your room clean or messy?
I usually try to keep it clean but right now it's a mess from the holidays and getting ready for the new term this week.

     Blue. They change shades with my mood, so when I'm happy they're bright or dark blue, sad/angry=gray blue.

4. Do you like your name? Why or why not?
   I do like my name, since it has a unique meaning and is rare these days, especially in my generation. For all of you who don't know my name, it's Ellen. (No, I was not named after Ellen DeGeneres ;))

9. If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be and why?

I actually don't wear a lot of makeup, but Bare Minerals all the way. My skin is ultra sensitive and I have really bad reactions most other cosmetic brands.

13. Sandals or Sneakers?

14. Describe your dream date?

20. What's the worst thing you've ever done?

       Red or Blue, clotheswise. I have really pale skin so I try to wear natural makeup to accentuate, with a pop of gold.

50. What's your biggest pet peeve?
       People who drive recklessly, drive distracted/impaired, cut people off and neglect their blinkers. HELLO!
