:( you ok?

Define parameters of "okay". 

[voidtrek]

I've been tagged!

Rule 1: Post the rules.

Rule 2: Answer the questions the Tagger set for you in their post, then make 11 new questions.

Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to your post.

Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. What has been your greatest inspiration to keep on keeping on? 

I'd have to say my little sister and my little cousins who I haven't met. Also, my muse. I always tell myself if anything happened to me, my muse would die too, and I can't let that happen.

2. What is your fondest childhood memory and why? 

A few years ago, I lost all of my memory, so I do not have any childhood memories. Sincerest apologies. \:

3. What is your passion?

Without a hesitation, writing. And at times, acting, as it is the physical embodiment of writing.

4. If, for some reason, you could not work in your chosen career field, what would you like to do?

I'd like to act, perhaps do a bit of singing. Though my chosen career choice--writing--is very far-fetched as it is. If you're looking for a solid job, I guess psychology would be my best bet. 

5. What is your favorite board game?

Monopoly. Apparently I used to play like crazy when I was younger with the neighbors. 

6. What is your favorite holiday and why?

Christmas and Valentine's Day--because they're both set in cold months, because of the story behind the former, and because of the general good-will and joy around those times.

7. If you could trade places with one person for an entire week, who would you choose?

I'd chose a good friend of mine. Not because I want to be her permanently, but because I want to feel what it's like to be in a position of power, to have people that love and care for you, to not be sick and to be enjoying school. I'd find that intriguing. 

8. Time travel is real. To what time period would you travel?

Probably the Middle Ages--but just to visit. A life there would, unfortunately, not work for me.

9. What was/is your favorite subject in school?

English. I also always loved the choir aspect of said class, despite the fact the teacher hated me and was rude. Recently, in high school years, band and newspaper also became favorites. 

10. Who is your favorite author?

Cornelia Funke.

11. If you could summon one person, throughout all of history, who would you choose and what would you say to/ask him/her?

I haven't the slightest. Having lost my memory means I have to relearn history. I suppose Shakespeare would be nice to have a conversation with, just to see what he's like.

My questions~

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

What is something you deeply regret?

What is the best dream you've ever had?

You're in the zombie apocalypse. What five people, fictional or not, would you choose?

Are you a coffee or tea person (or neither)?

What are your favorite books (if not a big reader, television show), and why?

What is one thing you wish did not exist in this world and why?

What is one thing that always seems to make you upset?

What is the screensaver on your phone right now (if you do not have a phone, what's your desktop on your computer) and why?

Are you a dog or cat person?

How are you? (because I feel like people don't get asked that enough)

Ideally, all of them would be great! But, if you can only do a few, I guess whichever characters you know the best.

and-then-theres-haley said: 

NO DO ALL OF THEM

Well, I haven't actually seen any of it, or head about it at all, so I feel like I wouldn't be the best person to do this.

I'll give it a shot, though. 

Or, if you'd like to submit what you think their signs are, I can feature that and see what others think.

Alternatively, you can start a thread on the Forum about it. :)

Tagged~

Rule 1: Always post the rules.

Rule 2: Answer your tagger’s questions and ask eleven new ones.

Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post.

Rule 4: Let them know they’ve been tagged. (isn't rule four covered in rule three I don't know but it seems like it is)

1. What’s your favorite music anything? (Genera, band, song, ect.)

Skillet. I'm obsessed with Skillet. They're my favorite band. I have a lot of other bands I hold dear and cradle and listen to repetitively but SKILLET 

2. Do you ever just want to run away?

Yes. In fact, when I was a kid, I used to write a lot of things to the point of wanting to run away. I still reread them sometimes. 

3. If yeah, where in the world would you go? If no… well, where do you want to go anyway, answer the question.

God, I don't know. I've always wanted to visit Germany, but I don't know German so I'd be lost. Where I'm living now, Florida, is really kind of my best bet if I ran away. No snow, nothing like that to deal with, and I know how to handle the heat. 

4. How’s your country?

I like it, but a lot of others don't. I think America's pretty great and amazing for what it is and I'm fantastically blessed for getting to live here. 

5.Do you have any religious thoughts? One God, many Gods, no god, balance, karma, nature?

I was raised Christian and I stick to that. So one God (but in three parts?). I've just felt God's presence way too much and seen so much evidence to prove my religion right that there's no way I can think any differently. And I'm happy with that. I love what I believe. I hate what other people think I believe because of the people who don't follow his word correctly. 

6. Favorite food?

'Grapes' used to be my immediate answer, but I also really like applesauce and Smartfood Popcorn. That stuff is good, kid.

7. How do you like to receive your media? (Reading, watching, listening, participating, ect.)

Reading.

8.Can you believe that the other day i had to explain who Sherlock Holmes is? You don’t have to answer that i’m just outraged.

Are you kidding me? I'd actually kill someone. Who doesn't know who Sherlock Holmes is? Even before I got into any of the shows I knew who he was. It's kind of common knowledge, people!

9. Nature and Nurture are in a duel. Who do you place your bet on?

Wait. Are you asking me about my favorite psychology debate? YAY, SOMEWHERE TO VOICE MY OPINIONS. 

I believe that both nature and nurture affect a person, but a lot of it is to do with nature and has personality traits that come out through nurture. 

For example, people who turn out to be cold and bitter because of things that happened always had an undertone of cold and bitterness in their personality. When bad things happened, even small things, they naturally got a dark towards the subject. That's their nature. But I believe very strongly that if certain things didn't happen, they'd turn out differently, but still have an undertone.

For example, let's take one of my favorite shows. Merlin. Both Merlin and Morgana were very similar in personality. Caring, compassionate, loving, afraid of what they were, etc. etc. But Merlin had Gaius and Morgana had no one. You can see the evil--the Morgana--side to Merlin poke out when bad things happen to him and he loses faith. But so much happens to Morgana that she begins to turn dark and calloused and to the point that she is the well-known villain of the story.

What I'm saying is, in the same exact position, Merlin would have turned out the same way, because his nature is similar to Morgana's. I firmly believe that if roles were reversed and Gwen was in that position, the lady of the house with powers she can't hide etc. etc., she'd not be affected as severely. She'd still stick to what was the right thing to do because Gwen was naturally good and honest, whereas Merlin and Morgana had good intentions, but the means they used to get there were never completely sound, not like Gwen.

In short, I believe that we're all predestined (is that the right word? it feels wrong) with certain personality traits, but different nurturing techniques brings different things out of our personality and sort of spotlights them as the main event. Think of it as a book. We're all a book and when we're born with all the words are already written, but as certain events happen in our life, certain personality traits get highlighted and stand out more than the rest, highlighted by nurture. 

Does this make any sense? I hope so, haha. So, in short, I suppose I'd bet on nature, because I believe most of it is up to that. 

10. Are you left or right brained?

Right. (look at this pretty picture I found depicting it all ooh)

11. What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve done? In public?

I don't really do outrageous things? I'm trying to think of something exciting but the best I can come up with is I pretended to two sex addicts that I was legal and my best friend and I lived together and I was attending college (she made me but it was pretty fun honestly)

Bonus: 12. ARE YOU PUMPED FOR PETER CAPALDI.

At first I wasn't (not because of him, but because of 'losing Matt Smith pain'), but let me tell you, TUMBLR GOT ME PUMPED! 

My questions~

Least favorite thing to do?

If you had to lose one of your senses, which one would you choose?

One thing you don't understand at all?

Something you don't believe in?

Merlin! :D

In a land of myth, and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name? Merlin. 

1. The first character I first fell in love with 

Merlin! Precious little baby. And Gwen. Ohhh goodness my Gwen. 

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now 

Arthur, though I think we’re all agreed there. 

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t 

I can’t say. I have an infinite amount of love for almost everybody in the Merlin ‘verse. 

4. The character I love that everyone else hates 

Uther Pendragon.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Was he a jerk? Was he obsessive? Did he make me want to punch him a couple of times? Yes. But he’s also a human. He’s a man who lost everything to magic, who had seen horrors and was doing his best. Despite what others may think, he genuinely cared for his kingdom, his son, his people. Were his actions wrong? Yes. But his heart was in the right place. I don’t hate Uther. I cried when he died. He was not the best father and not the best rolemodel, but he did try. 

5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer 

No one. Though my heart broke for Morgana. I really, really missed her. 

6. The character I would totally smooch 

the entire cast holy have you watched this show

7. The character I’d want to be like 

I’d like to be like Gwen, but realistically I’m a lot more like Morgana. In many aspects. I miss her ahh Morgana. 3

8. The character I’d slap 

Uther. I mean, there were times. 

9. A pairing that I love 

Gwen/Arthur. My babies <3 (A Gwen/Arthur and Rose/Doctor video I made here?)

10. A pairing that I despise 

Don’t despise any pairings. But I didn’t like Gwen/Lancelot too much simply because I missed Arthur and her. But Lancelot was an amazing character and the love triangle gave the show realism and depth. (A love triangle video I made here?)

Thanks for asking, meine liebe! <3 

Send me a fandom and I’ll answer these questions.

and-then-theres-haley replied to your post: Thank you so much. I appreciate it. It sucks and I was confused for the longest time over it. It makes no sense how one second someone is madly in love and the next they’re not. I hope I never have another guy do that to me. I guess I’ll know better next time.

Calli you are amazing. And to the anon, we’re all here for you if you need an ear :)

Lol, thank you. <3

I hope they see this! :D

Why hello there! I'm Haley. 18. Capricorn. My URL? Well, I was telling my mom and awkward story about a year ago and how I was the odd one out in something, and she said to me "And then there's you" so my friends and I all decided that if I ever get a sitcom (because my life is very sitcom-ic) this would be the title. Hahaha Hobbies: I love to bake! Check out my website! CakeSpaz(.)com and FB(.)com/CakeSpaz You guys are the best astro blog I've found on here :3 Random question: favorite meal?

Hello, Haley! Great name. :D  And that store is hilarious lol.

My favorite meal is this Greek Chicken type dish that my husband make. Also, Nachos. :3
