dancingdown replied to your post: Oh hey I’m on tumblr again. It’s been a while.   ...

You’re back!

I'm back!  How's your life?

[struckamatchwithfeeling]

I really liked these questions, so, same questions for you! What's your favorite book out of any genre? Why is it your favorite? Favorite character? Thing that bothers you about the book? If you could be a character from the book, which one and why?

Damn.  I should have expected this.

Okay, genre: Non-YA Fantasy

Book:  Actually a series, the Belgariad, by David Eddings.

Why:  It's sort of a classic fantasy series.  There is magic and quests and a pantheon of gods and some mythical creatures thrown in there.  It's also the first quality fantasy series I read.  I read all those Dragonlance books as a kid, and let me tell you, they do not stand the test of time.  The Belgariad does.  It is just as fantastic as it was when I was 12.  All of the characters feel real.  The universe felt real.  Even the characters you expected to be stock ("Brave Knight" and "Angry Young Rebel") had depth and meaning. And it was complex enough to be interesting without making me want to throw the book against the wall because nothing made sense.  I'm not doing it justice.  It's incredible.

Favorite character:  Prince Kheldar, aka Silk.  (Prince of Drasnia, but mostly a super spy who is super snarky and also kind of fucked up in the head) 

Thing that bothers me:  The main character could be super annoying sometimes, but he started out as fourteen, so you can forgive him.  There was also a lot of clear cut "good guy/bad guy" stuff.  You know, the followers of the evil god are evil, end of story.  As I've grown older and more aware, it has some upsetting racial overtones.  But by the end of the series when (spoiler!) the evil god is overthrown, Eddings definitely shows the evil god's people to be changing or at least have the capacity for change.  Which is good.  I don't like blatant "Good v. Evil" most of the time.  Proof that they weren't necessarily acting of their own freewill made me happy.Character I would want to be: Probably Polgara the Sorceress.  Because she's a sorceress.  She's also just an incredible character.  She's one of those mythical female characters that is a badass and also a kind and loving person, and has faults like male characters are given.  Generally speaking, the female characters are done really well in this series.  And Polgara is kind of the best.  

Wow that was long.

What are your views on politics? I actually don't have much of a stance regarding conservative or whatnot, I generally just pay attention to the platforms and the outcomes. It doesn't matter what party a representative comes from, just as long as I like their platform!

Say your dream career and why it is so. I would just love to be able to write. Whether this is journalism, author, blogger, I don't know. I would love to teach English also, but that's more of something I'd like to do when I retire from something else. I just like woooords.

Broadway fame or Hollywood fame?  Seeing as I can't sing, Hollywood.

Pick music or books.  I'm incredibly picky when it comes to books, but I really like words so I actually can't choose.

Describe your bedroom. Cluttered, I have bright pink and purple walls that I detest and I attempt to cover them with posters, drawings, pictures, anything. It's busy, but it's very much me so I love it :)

Who lives with you?  My family...

Would you rather die in your sleep or crazily (ie. eaten by a shark, something out there)  In my sleep, definitely. 

What type of legacy do you want to leave?  I want to be the person who did everything she could in life, yanno? Like volunteering, travelling, being friendly, going to crazy parties, everything. I don't want to miss anything.

Where do you want to go to college?  Dream school would be Berkeley, but that's not happening so it depends on what I decide to go into I guess.

Tell your dream city to live in.  Well, I would love to live in England for a year or so. And I've always wanted to go to New York but I don't think I could live there. I like where I am, actually. :) 

My questions:

What is one thing you wish you could change about your personality?

Describe one person that really impacted your life, positively or negatively.

What's your favorite movie to watch when you're sick?

Name 4 things that make you smile.

If you were dying, what would be the last thing you would do?

Would you like people to think of you as honest or loyal?

If you were a character on a TV show, who would you be?

Name one book you read and hated and explain why you hated it.

Would you rather have the power to be invisible or to read minds?

Describe the perfect day.

You see the world in only grey and black, now how could anybody live like that without screaming, without dying for dreaming.
