Hey y'all!!!! (;
Reason for username: My name is Emily and my confirmation saint is Rose of Lima. Thus, Emily Rose.
Also, I absolutely love the name Rose in general.
How did you find I&F? I found I&F through the Shadow of the Bear movie blog which I followed religiously until the movie came I out!
I&F has absolutely all my interests bundled into one online magazine so it's pretty fantastic.
Do you have a favorite column? If so, what is it? I love all the columns!! However, I find the Fairy Godmother column particularly interesting and amusing!!
What do you like best about I&F? There's so much I like about it it's hard to pinpoint something!! I'd have to say I like the fact that it takes amazing things like fantasy,the fairy tale novel series, fiction and article writing/ detectives/ knights/ shieldmaidens/ dragons...
etc... (I could go on forever)and combines it with a faith filled world perspective.
Tell us about yourself! Hobbies: Gosh, where to start! I consider myself to be a very passionate person interesting in a wide variety of things.I'm a diehard romatnic from the mountainous regions who loves people and life in general. I am in love with the Catholic faith, tea, romantic things, peacocks, colors, adventures, and all things beautiful. I like wearing clothes that are modest and that make me feel fabulous. I believe that fairy tales teach us the best lessons, that the world is an amazing and wondrous place, and that everyone has a purpose in life.As far as hobbies, the first ones that come to mind are painting,( Love it!!
), writing, anything craft related, sewing, singing, dancing, cooking, baking, being on a stage (acting or otherwise), and reading. That's all I can think of for now folks!
P.S. Tangled is the absolute best and my favoritist movie of all times. (excuse the terrible grammar)
Favorite Book: Waking Rose by Regina Doman.
DUH. Some of my other favorite authors include Jen Turano & G.K. Chesterton. Poetry is the best y'all!
Describe your ideal day: There are so many different things I would like to do, but I think my ideal day would look something like this: Waking to the sun in my face out somewhere beautiful in nature. Probably in a summer home or something. Then, after putting on something sophisticated but colorful, I would fly to Europe with my friends and travel the sights for the afternoon.(No one said this had to be realistic right?
)Of course there would be lots of tea drinking, relaxing in gardens, going on a tour with some handsome Catholic gents
, and test tasting at the best sweet shops in town.
Once it started getting towards later afternoon, evening, we would go swimming in the ocean! Then, late that night would get all dressed up and go out swing dancing underneath the stars till the wee hours of the morning.
Well, you asked!!
I am really exciting to be a part of writing for I&F and getting to know y'all!
God bless, ~Emily Rose
