Updates

Since the semester is winding down and my brain is finally coming back, I've been able to read a lot more lately. I know I've stuck to mostly movie reviews over the past few months, which is lame because this blog is called DrinkMeReadMe, not IWasTooLazyToReadTheBook. Since I'll be travelling between May 13th and July 10th, I'll have plenty of time on planes and trains to catch up on all the reading I've missed. To make up for my laziness to my loyal followers, here's what you can expect in the coming weeks. What I'm Reading Now, And Will Review Soon 1. Prodigy by Marie Liu. I'm about halfway through and it's kicking ass and I'm so excited to gush about it! 2. Frozen by two authors whose names I can't remember. I just started it and the prologue contains an Imagine Dragons quote and that angers me for some reason. 3. Cress by Marissa Meyer. I loaned out my e-Reader, so I don't have access to this book at the moment, but I will totally be reading it ASAP. What I'm Watching Now, And Will Review Soon 1. Bates Motel Season 2 (I can't even right now) 2. Teen Wolf, Season 3 (This review is so far overdue that I'm actually ashamed) 3. Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Who else is so pumped for this???) So that's my update. Be expecting these reviews to trickle out slowly over the next few weeks, and feel free to send me requests as far as books to read!

**I tagged the most active people on my blog and the people who's blogs I watch the most. :) I ran out of people because I don't have lots of tumblr buddies but if you got tagged it's cause I like you! <3

If you are tagged on this, read on and follow the steps! Thank you, http://got2startsomewhere.tumblr.com! :)

Rule 1: Post the rules.
 Rule 2: Answer the questions you were tagged on and make 11 new ones.
 Rule 3: Tag 11 new people and link them to your post.
 Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them

1) What’s one song that makes you feel good? Girls Run the World - Beyonce

2) What’s your favorite TV series?

Oh man, well there's a couple. Being Human, Buffy, Futurama, American Dad and Vampire Diaries are a few good ones right now, although there are a few that will always be in my memories.

3) What’s your favorite exercise?

Yoga and hula hoop dance.

4) What inspires you the most?

Myself, honestly. I was very close to being a drug addict and a failure pretty early in life. If I had continued on that path I'd be in a much different situation right now and the fact that I even got out of it is my inspiration. I didn't quite drugs, alcohol and smoking to sit around eating chips and working a job I hate! I'm going to get healthy, work on my hobbies and get a job that makes me happy.

5) Favorite place to visit?

Well there's nowhere outside of Alaska I've ever been but in Alaska I like to visit parks around town that I've been going to since I was a kid.

6) Define yourself in three words or less:

Persistent, silly, insightful

7) If you could give one piece of advice to the world, what would it be?

Think before you talk. Not in a mean way but I think if more people thought it out, gave it a minute, did some research and were willing to be open to ideas we'd actually be getting somewhere. Also, it's okay to be wrong and it's okay to change your opinion based on new information.

And smile. :)

8) Are there any sources of mental/spiritual inspiration in your life?

Zen Buddhism is my current 'religion', although followers of the practice would not exactly call it a religion. Buddha's words, Eihei Dogen's words and Brad Warner's words have all really made a difference in my life and in how I see things.

9) Post a lyric to a favorite song:

- We're going all out so get em up get em up and if they wanna take a picture tell em we don't give a fuck.

10) Post a favorite quote:

- The Thunder, Perfect Intellect

For I am the first and the last.I am the honored one and the scorned one.I am the whore and the holy one.I am the wife and the virgin.I am <the mother> and the daughter.I am the members of my mother.I am the barren oneand many are her children.

11) Share a picture that makes you happy:

That stupid quote from a silly kids show is burned in my memory because it's something people so rarely are told. If you don't immediately show talent at what you're doing many teachers, parents, friends and anyone who's in your life will just kind of ignore your attempts at that thing. Adults take notice of kids who are doing things really well already and so I feel like a lot of kids get left behind. The ones who aren't grasping things just yet are the ones that need help. They need a push. Persistence trumps talent, honestly, because talent is nothing. It's a word we use to place on people who are fast to pick up techniques. Some people aren't fast o pick up techniques but eventually they do pick them up and that is persistence. In some cases persistent people will exceed people who are relying on the idea of talent alone. Practice, persistence and believing that the journey is more important than results is what will keep you going when you're feeling like you're no good at anything.

Questions for my tagged friends:

1) What is your favorite breakfast?

2) What are your favorite book series?

3) What is your favorite color?

4) Who would you literally give up your life for?

5) What inspires you?

6) What are you usually thinking about before falling asleep?

7) If you went to Middle Earth but could only talk to one person from Tolkien's books who would you talk to?

8) Are there any horrible habits you used to have that you broke?

9) What good habit are you trying to build?

10) What is your favorite kind of chocolate?

11) What is something you like now that you never liked when you were younger?

Include a picture that makes you happy!

Sorry for the long hiatus between reviews/lack of videos.

I will be returning in full-force within the next week or so!

Obviously we're doing that too! It'll be a party!

Shout out to my friend and follower drinkmereadme for always liking stuff from me!

[baconpolice]

Ha! I know how you feel. My mom and I got into it together and would basically get home from work, throw on our pajamas, and watch this show until it was time to go to bed. It's so addictive, it's ridiculous!

DUDE seriously.  It presents itself as something shallow but in reality it's kind of insane.  I kept being like "I'll stop after this one... FUCK WHAT NO OH MY GOD"

[analysethisinkblot]

I'm bored so actually doing this for once

1. If you woke up as a doughnut, would you eat yourself?

Yes; best suicide ever.

2. If you could live a day as any fictional character, who would you be?

The doctor, would go back in time and fix a few things.

3. Describe your dream house

Living with Lish’ and Rach in a massive house and no noisy neighbours. We’ll have a wall made out of a massive fish tank, fandom rooms, a room with a table we can flip, a library with a secret passage way, a garden to grow our own vegetables and a compost bin, and a basement to keep all our kidnapped celebs. No I have not put too much thought into living with them after uni.

4. Who is the first character you ever fell in love with?

Aragon from LotR when I was 7

5. Which character would you defend no matter what?

Lish’ were you thinking of Snape when you came up with this? I honestly can’t think of someone.

EDIT: Daryl Dixon. 

6. If you could have any fighting skill set (not super power) what would you want?

I want to learn how to shoot a bow. Ever since I went to York as a kid and found out you’re allowed to shoot a Scotsman at midnight from the wall I’ve wanted to learn.

7. If you could have any creative skill set (such as writing, drawing, dancing…) What would you want?

Always wanted to learn ballet but my mum could never afford to send me. I actually want to look around for adult beginners’ classes but I don’t think the city I live in will have them.

8. If you could be any supernatural creature what would you want to be?

Phoenix, I have a thing for immortality.

9. What’s your ‘ill’ film?

I feel like the only person to not have one. I’d probably say Boondock Saints if I had to pick one.

10. You have to read only one book for the rest of your life…?

Jesus Lish’ you’re killing me, I’d probably say Ulysses, so then I’d finally get round to reading it.

11. What career are you planning on? What job would you have if you could do anything (fictional included)?

Writer or mercenary. Or prostitute, but one where I get to pick clients.

    Favourite accent?

You can kidnap one celebrity and not get arrested, who do you pick?

You’re now married to the last person you texted, how long will that last?

Best film soundtrack in your opinion?

One thing you wish you had done differently?

What’s getting you down right now?

What was the last thing to make you laugh?

What book do you wish you wrote?

What’s your one money saving tip?

What’s worse: making a cup of tea and forgetting about it so it goes cold, or stepping on a plug?

Why do you have nothing better to do than answer these?

We Fucked Shit Up

Guys, I'm so finished with this formal proposal thingie. I love English classes to death, normally, but this one is so fucking boring, it's ridiculous. On the bright side, this proposal is so fucking finished, I just need to slap some pictures into a powerpoint to coincide with the fucking 14-page piece of shit. 

At any rate, fuck this proposal; my group made it our bitch.
