Anne of Green Gables Week Tag!

Miss Evie is hosting an Anne of Green Gables Week at her blog, Over the Hills!  Do check it out! 

Here are my answers to the delightful tag she created to start off the week:

 

 

1. How did you get introduced to Anne of Green Gables?

I guess through the movies--way back when I was little.  I hardly remember anymore.

2. Are you more like Anne or Diana? Why?

Hmm...not sure really.  But probably Diana.  I'm not the exciting, talkative, full of grand plans, type of person that Anne is.  I tend to be more quiet and in the background.  Happy to be a faithful friend who's always there to listen and encourage.

3. If Rachel Lydne called your hair as red as carrots how would you react? 

Well, seeing that I don't find red hair particularly abhorrent; and seeing that I'm not given to expressing my displeasure in as straightforward and heated manner as Anne--especially to a stranger--I have a feeling my reaction would be anything but dramatic.  Probably something lame like, "Oh, really?"  *polite, but slightly confused, smile*

4. Gilbert or Morgan Harris? 

MORGAN HARRIS, OF COURSE!  He's so utterly romantic and handsome and charming...what am I saying?  ABOSLUTELY NOT!  He's obnoxious and annoying and...*shivers*  I can't stand him!!  His smile gives me the creeps.  (Why do I always have to start out by giving a fake answer, before I give my real answer?  What is my problem?)  Anyway, of COURSE I like Gilbert best.  Who wouldn't? He's such a dear, sweet, wonderful person, and ANNE SHOULD HAVE LIKED HIM FROM THE START! She really should have.  (Silly Anne.)


I mean, look at them.  They were totally meant to be together.  :)

5. Honest opinion on the third Anne film. 

Ahem.  It's been a long time since I've seen it but I really didn't like it when I did.  It just wasn't right.  In fact, it was all wrong.  And I'm sure I could get on my soap box about this for quite sometime, except that the memories of it have grown rather dim, and thus I find myself highly lacking in ammunition.  (Aw. Too bad.)

6. Have you seen the New Anne film?

No, unfortunately.   (Or would that be, fortunately? ;))

7. What in your own words is a Kindred Spirit?

Someone who understands how I feel about the things that are nearest and dearest to my heart.  Someone who shares common interests with me and who I can talk to about almost anything.  Someone who's totally comfortable to be around because we just enjoy being together, even if we're not doing anything special.

8.  Movie Gilbert or Green Gables Fables Gilbert?
I've never seen the Green Gables Fables Gilbert, so Movie Gilbert.  Definitely.  (And I think I should like movie Gilbert best in any case.  After all, he was the first Gilbert I was ever introduced to, so it's only natural.)

 

9.  Does anyone know where we can watch Road to Avonlea online?

I haven't a clue.  Sorry.  :(

10. Favourite book cover?
Oh, dear.  I don't know.

11. The Films or The Books?
It rather goes against my principles to say this (considering that I usually prefer to like the books better than the movies) but I think I do probably like the films better.  At least the first film.  I've read most of the books, but I don't think they endeared themselves to me as much as the movie did.  For one thing, Gilbert wasn't in the books enough.  (Not in my opinion anyway.)  And for another, I was one of those poor children who watched the movie before reading the book, and thus got off on the wrong footing from the start.  (I can't help it.  It's just one of the facts of life.)

Well, that's it!  Thanks for a very fun tag, Evie!!
