Today I welcome Jessica Harper from Destiny Road. 

TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.
I'm Jessica. I'm just like any other normal sixteen year old girl. I love hanging out with my best friends. I like listening to music. The John Butler Trio are cool to listen to. I live with my mum. I don't know my dad. At least I didn't, until recently. I only just met him this year. It's been a bit weird having him around but I'm getting used to it. I sing in the shower, but not very well!

DO YOU ENJOY OR DISLIKE WINTER? TELL US WHY.
Winter doesn't really matter, because where I live it's nearly always warm. I love the hot Summer weather though so I can hang out at the beach. I guess it would be cool to wear scarves and stuff if it was really cold.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A DATE (OR WITH CLOSE FRIENDS) ON A SNOWY EVENING?
I'm only 16 so I don't exactly date. That is, I've never been on one yet. So I would probably be hanging out with Claire and Dempsey, my best friedns. We'd listen to music and just chill outand drink hot chocloate Milo drinks.

WHEN IT'S COLD AND DREARY OUTSIDE, WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD?
I crack up at Funniest Home Videos, the T.V show. It's where peple send in their home movies where something funny has happened. You just know the little kid is going to hit the dad in the head with ball but it's still so funny when it happens!

IF YOU WERE SITTING AROUND A FIRE, PLAYING TRUTH OR DARE, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
Truth because I am a chicken and would not do the dare. Once Claire dared me to eat some cat food and I did and vomited for the next hour. That dare scarred me for life. I can't stand to even be in the same room as a cat now.

TELL US ABOUT A WINTER MEMORY FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD.
I remember my mum and I going on a road trip to see snow. It was going to be my first time. By the time we got there the rain had turned most of it to mush. It was hard and dirty looking and I didn't want to get out of the car because it was too cold.

WHAT IS THE MOST CREATIVE GIFT YOU WOULD PUT UNDER THE TREE?
I once made a hanging ornament out of my hands and feet and turned it into a reindeer. I was two so it was cute then. It probably wouldn't be so cute if I did it now!

WOULD YOU START A SNOWBALL FIGHT?
I wouldn't start one, but I would have to throw at least one. It looks so much fun in the movies.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE WINTER MOVIE OR BOOK.
The Holiday with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz.

HOW DO YOU CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS? BE IT CHRISTMAS OR HANNAUKAH OR THE WINTER SOLSTICE.
In Australia it is Summer so Christmas is always hot. We still have a hot roast lamb dinner with lots of grave, roast spuds and cauliflower with cheese sauce drizzled on top. Nanna cooks it and me and mum go there for lunch. Nana makes the plum pudding from scratch like three months before.

  2. I spent New Year's in Australia a few years ago, and loved how warm it was during the holidays! Now, I live in Florida, where it's also warm this time of year (but not as warm as Sydney!)

    1. Hi Carmen, I live about a 10 minute drive from the beach so we spend lots of lazy Summer days there!

  3. Poor Jessica, eating cat food for a dare. I remember something similar from my teen years with dog food. Ewww.

  6. I enjoyed learning more about Jessie, altho I felt for her being so sick after eating the cat food!
