Sunset!
The sunrise gets in my eyes as I'm driving to work 😆
Are you familiar with Meyers-Briggs? If so, do you know what your personality type is (mine is INFJ, for example)?

Yes on both counts, but as its accuracy and real-world usefulness are rather questionable (there's a good article about it here from a UK newspaper), I don't take it seriously.
If you could master any one musical instrument to the point of becoming a superstar on it, which one would you choose?
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."
(Prince Caspian)
Hmm. Maybe violin/fiddle?
Do you keep a list of books to read?
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Savior

When we were gone astray.
Yes, I keep a list of books to read. Do I use that list? Nooooo... not always...
Do you have a go-to icebreaker question?
We have hands that fashion and heads that know,
But our hearts we lost - how long ago! -- G. K. Chesterton
It would be a good idea, but no.
Do you have a favourite summer stone fruit (nectarine, peach, plum, apricot, etc.)?
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.

Oooh yum, apricots, definitely. Pretty closely followed by plums, which my mum uses in cooking a lot when they're in season (in Australia!), especially for plum cake and plum cobbler.
Have you ever starred in any amateur theatre productions — and if you've done more than one, which play did you most enjoy being in?
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."
(Prince Caspian)
Nope, never had a starring role.
If you could have any role in a musical, play, TV show, or movie, what would it be and why?
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.

Ooh, excellent question! It's hard to narrow it down. But I'm in the middle of an X-Men rewatch, and Kitty Pryde would be a lot of fun to play.
What is your favorite song or music artist?
N-Web sis of stardf, _Rillian_, & jerenda
Proud to be Sirya the Madcap Siren
One of my favorite songs is Pink Pony Club by Chapell Roan
What's your favorite piece of furniture that you own?
"Why, Sir,’ said Lucy. ‘I think – I don’t know – but I think I could be brave enough.‘”
I don't know if this is exactly furniture or not, but there's a giant urn in my house that I really like (looks like it could have been an artifact from some ancient civilization).
What was your favourite part about this past week?

Reading The 100 Cupboards series by N.D. Wilson.
Have you ever read a Bible commentary such as Michael Card's?
Christ is King.
Yes — I love William Barclay's commentaries on the New Testament, and The Interpreter's Bible and The New Interpreter's Bible are ones I often used for references while I was doing my religion studies major at university. Very helpful and thought-provoking.
What famous event in history (any era, anywhere in the world) do you most wish you could have witnessed?
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."
(Prince Caspian)
That's a hard question (seems to have stopped everyone!) but perhaps something Biblical.
What's something you're looking forward to in 2023?
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.

The possibility of travel.
What are your favourite things about the season of the year that you are in now?
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
Cool crisp weather, frost and sometimes snow, beautiful sky-scapes when the low sun shines through the bare trees, and of course Christmas!! (Although as I know from my childhood, Christmas does also come just the same where it's summer. )
What are some books on your to-read list for the coming year?
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."
