emrys--pendragon and athousandpicturesfillmyhead's Tag game questions

I'm just going to answer them and not post new ones cause i'mma lazy :P

1. What’s your favorite story to tell someone when getting to know them?

Hmm I don't have a particular story. I mean it's all up to the content of your discussion right? But generally safe topics are maybe shows/movies or like pets :P I have no clue. I guess I don't have a particular story.

2. What’s your favorite memory?

Well I just decided that whichever memory popped up first, I would right about it. One of my favourite memory is when my 2 other girl cousins and I crammed into her single person bed and just talked and played with glow sticks. And one of them broke and flung the glow juice around and her bed and walls were pretty haha.

3. How many times have you read/watched your favorite book/tv show/movie?

Uhhhh LOTR? Omg I can't even remember. FOTR i watched at least 12 times for sure. TTT watched a little less maybe around 8ish? ROTK is at least 12 as well. And I had a LOTR marathon at least 5 times. All extended versions baby :P

4. Speaking of, what is your favorite movie/tv show/book, and why?

Hrmmm I already answered this but yeah LOTR because it played a major role in the development of the person I am today. Started me off to reading adult fiction at grade 5/6 and started my interest in movies/tvshows/fandoms

5. Who is the biggest inspiration in your life? Why?

I think I would say my dad. He is honestly the nicest person I have ever encountered. He's so giving and genuine and all around good person. He's struggled a lot and overcame so many difficulties in life that he's just amazing.

6. What do you aspire to do with your life? In a realistic “I want to be a doctor!” sense, or in a mystical “I’d like to bring enlightenment to the world.” sense.

I don't think i'm a very motivated person tbh. But I guess I just aim to be a likeable person and to at least become a really important person in someone's life.

7. If you could go back in time and talk to younger!you, what would you say? Would you say anything?

GOD, DON'T RUSH INTO UNIVERSITY. Figure out what the fuck you want to do before going blindly in hoping for the best and failing shit. And wasting money....

8. Would you rather go into the future? or into the past?

Past cause even though the future probably has cool stuff, i think the world itself would be much worse. Like the environment, the people (personality wise). I dunno, I just look at the kids these days and just shake my head.

9. What’s your favorite thing to think about?

uhhh fandom related stuff :P

10. What’s your favorite color?

Blue or grey

11. Do you believe in love?

Yeah I do

1) Favourite book series? Have fun, I know almost everyone is multi-fandom and this question is basically impossible.

See answer above

2) Socks or bare feet?

Bare feet

3)Are you afraid of the dark?

Yes because the dark sparks my imagination and I start to freak out :P

4)Do you like taking pictures? (being the photographer or the photographed, doesn’t matter)

I like being the photographer

5)Do you like/want to travel, or are you comfortable and happy where you are? 

I would love to go on a Europe tour. I want to visit England, Italy, Scotland etc. And I want to visit New Zealand :)

6) Are you a pack rat?

Hmm not a serious one haha.

7) Top five bands you could not live without.

Oo... I'm not really a band person. I mainly just go "Oo that song is nice. I'll download that one" But the first 5 bands that pop in my head are One Republic, The Fray, Mumford and Sons, Josh Groban (not a band but w/e) and some old school Backstreet Boys :P

8) Do you sleep on your side, stomach, or back?  or none of the above…

I sleep on the side and back usually.

9) Favourite flavour of chips.

I freaking love BBQ

10) Bath or shower?

Shower, I didn't grow up having baths much

11) Did/do you like high school?

I liked the easiness of it compared to university :P

11 Questions

Rule 1 - Post the rules. Rule 2 - Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and make 11 new ones. Rule 3 - Tag 11 people and link them to your post. Rule 4 - Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. What’s your favorite story to tell someone when getting to know them?

Oh, I don't know.  Probably something to do with theatre.  lol.  I'd probably just try for something relevant to whatever we were actually discussing at the time, I suppose.

2. What’s your favorite memory?

Dancing on tables at our annual Rent-watching Christmas party and the giant group hugs that follow.

3. How many times have you read/watched your favorite book/tv show/movie?

More than I can count.  Or more than I remember.  Something along those lines.  I'm an obsessive personality type, although it's more apparent with some things than others.  Fandoms bring out my true obsessive tendencies. :P

4. Speaking of, what is your favorite movie/tv show/book, and why?

Book:  Oh gosh, I have no idea.  I read so much, and I love so many books.  Um.  Maybe A Mango Shaped Space?  It's also sad, but it has a relatively happy ending, and it is utterly fascinating at the same time.  I still cry every time I read it, though.

TV show:  I don't know if I can choose one.  Can I just say all things BBC?  Doctor Who and Sherlock and Merlin are the three that I'm the most involved with at the moment.  I do love American crime shows, too, though.  Castle, Bones, NCIS, Criminal Minds.  I find them really interesting, especially Criminal Minds.  Psychology is endlessly interesting to me, and the thought that you could use it to find a serial killer is completely amazing.

Movie:  At the moment, Third Star.  It was just so heart wrenching, and I'm not going to lie, it HURT to watch.  It hurt so much.  I sobbed.  But I really really loved it, too.  It was so well scripted and filmed, and wonderfully written, and the cast was incredible.  Not just Benedict Cumberbatch, though I have to mention him, because he was most certainly amazing, and his performance was breathtaking, but the whole thing was just so good.  It is a beautifully crafted work of art.

5. Who is the biggest inspiration in your life? Why?

This is a hard one.  There have been so many.  I'll narrow it down to two.  In real life, I think I'd have to say Amelia Earhart.  She's always been sort of a personal hero of mine. I find her story inspiring, tragic, and fascinating at the same time.  Her attempts to dispel the idea that woman can't fly were very admirable.  A fictional inspiration would be Captain Kathryn Janeway from the show Star Trek Voyager.  Sounds a bit silly, I suppose, but I grew up watching Voyager, and I always wanted to be her when I grew up.  She was so smart, so brave, and so incredibly confident.  I know she had her flaws, but she was still always one of my inspirations.  I looked up to her as a role model.

6. What do you aspire to do with your life? In a realistic “I want to be a doctor!” sense, or in a mystical “I’d like to bring enlightenment to the world.” sense.

Oh, so many things.  Let's start with the impossible.  I used to dream of Broadway.  I'd still love to be able to make a career out of theatre.  I want to be a criminal psychologist.  I want to be able to make a living as an artist, both musically and with my balloons.  Now for the more likely option.  I think I'm going to try to be a clinical psychologist, and a freelance musician and actress or a voice teacher in my spare time, if I have any of that.

7. If you could go back in time and talk to younger!you, what would you say? Would you say anything?

I'd tell the younger me to stop procrastinating, because it's making things harder now.  :D  On a slightly more serious note, I'd like to go back to middle school me and tell me that I have to tough it out for 7 years, but it'll be okay once I make it to college.  Middle school and high school were not happy places for me.  I had a few friends, but in general, I was miserable and bullied a lot.  I'm not going for the sympathy vote here, because it's okay now.  I'm happy here, and although some things frustrate me with classes and school and all of that, it really doesn't matter as much as it used to, because I know the entire school doesn't hate me here.  I think I've finally found a group of people that I can fit with for real, that have common interests and really love me for me.  I had a few of those friends in high school, don't get me wrong, and I loved them, but here, we're a really close group, and we live together, and I can really be me with them, and not be afraid of it.  I can cry when I need to.  I just have to go to my roommate or walk down the hall, and they'll be ready to hold me up when I just can't do it anymore, and I'll do the same for them.  That feeling is so amazing, and it was totally worth enduring the complete HELL that was middle school and high school for me.  So I'd like to let my younger self know that it'll be okay.  I just have to hang in there.

8. Would you rather go into the future? or into the past?

I think I'd rather go into the past.  I'd love to be a flower child, or a flapper, or a lady pirate.  I could negotiate on the time period and position that I would occupy, I suppose.  I don't think I'd want to go to the future.  Too many spoilers.  I don't think I want to know how my life will turn out.

9. What’s your favorite thing to think about?

I love to think through the plots for all of the stories I want to write someday.  I don't have nearly enough time (or motivation, for that matter) to get all of them written, but it's really fun to plan it out and imagine it all happening.

10. What’s your favorite color?

Green.  It's just so lively, and it's never really sad.  It comes in so many different shades, and almost all of them are really fun.

11. Do you believe in love?

I suppose it depends on what kind of love you're talking about.  Platonic and familial love, yes.  I have no doubts about that.  I know I love all of my friends, I love my parents, I love my pets, and I love God.  Romantic love...I think I do.  Goodness knows, watching my parents has given me hope.  They've been together for thirty years and it's still going strong.  They must love each other, to work that hard at staying together.  It's not like it's easy and they don't fight, because they do.  They just never considered ending things to be an option.  If that isn't love, I don't know what is. At the same time, I don't think I've ever fallen in love romantically.  I say I don't think so.  It's not like I've got much experience in this area.  It's never quite worked out well, and I'm not sure if it was really LOVE or what it was.  Crushes, heck yes, but love?  I don't honestly know.  I don't know if I'd recognize it when/if I do find it.  I hope I do, because I don't want to let it slip away if it is real.  But I honestly don't know.

My questions:

1. If you had to keep a physical representation of your fondest memory, what would it be, and why?

2. What are the top three stories that have influenced your life?  Why/how?

3. If you had to choose one art form and ONLY one art form as a creative outlet for the rest of your life what would it be, and why?

4. What is the first thing you notice about people when you meet them for the first time?

5. Summer or winter?

6. Do you prefer fluff, romance, and happy endings, or dystopia, angst, and sad endings?

7. For a vacation, would you choose a secluded mountain location, a bright sunny beach and boardwalk, or Disney World?

8. What is your favorite smell?

9. What super power would you want?

10. What fictional character do you find it easiest to relate to?

11. What do you usually think about before falling asleep?

TAG GAME! READY FOR THIS?

Tag Game! Ready for this?

Rule 1 - Post the rules. Rule 2 - Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and make 11 new ones. Rule 3 - Tag 11 people and link them to your post. Rule 4 - Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. What’s your favorite story to tell someone when getting to know them?

Hm. The first one that comes to mind is when I was having a snowball fight with my brother. I threw one at him. He dodged it. Window breaks. We both get grounded. 

2. What’s your favorite memory?

Freshman year of college, my friends and I stayed up all night to go to the lake and see the sunrise. This was our last night together before we left for summer. There are other memories too, this is the first that comes to mind.

3. How many times have you read/watched your favorite book/tv show/movie?

Since I am a slow reader I have not reread too many books. Comics though, I have reread several Batman comics. I have read Y:The Last Man 3 times. TV show? Hm. I have watched Doctor Who and Lost both 3ish times over. Movie is easy. Dark Knight. I have watched it around 20 times. I can play it on the background or watch it intensely.  

4. Speaking of, what is your favorite movie/tv show/book, and why? 

My favorite book (right now) is American Gods, I'm a fan of mythology and Neil Gaiman has such a way with words. Doctor Who is my favorite show still on the air right now (I could never chose a definitive favorite). DW can be any genre, any time and place and it still works. A show that can constantly reinvent itself, have far our scifi elements but still has a strong emotional core is amazing. Batman is my favorite fictional character of all time. Dark Knight is one of the greatest Batman stories ever told. Great acting, great script, fantastic director. I could go on about it, but I won't bore you. 

5. Who is the biggest inspiration in your life? Why?

My biggest inspiration in life is my Mom, cheesy? Yes. But so true. She is a strong woman, who has been though thick and thin but does what she can to better her family. I will always go back to her for inspiration to see what she would do. 

Another inspiration who is not as big but still has an impact is the Chris Hardwick, in the 90s he was a drunk, slob comedian who today is head of Nerdist Industries. He turned his life around by making smart choices. 

6. What do you aspire to do with your life? In a realistic “I want to be a doctor!” sense, or in a mystical “I’d like to bring enlightenment to the world.” sense.

Realistically, I aspire to be writing something. Something being: comics, screenplays or advertising. 

7. If you could go back in time and talk to younger!you, what would you say? Would you say anything?

I would tell myself to take more chances earlier on and to not grow out your chin hair that one year because really what were you thinking, or going to think? I'd also tell him that flying cars are awesome. Yes, I would troll myself. My younger self would realize this when he grows up to go back in time to talk to our younger self. 

8. Would you rather go into the future? or into the past?

I would go to the future. Distant future. See how humanity has evolved, if it has at all. We better had flying cars by then. 

9. What’s your favorite thing to think about?

I have two answers. Serious answer, my girlfriend. Not so serious, my own original stories which hasn't happened to much lately. 

10. What’s your favorite color?

Blue. Always has been number one. Wish I had a specific shade though. 

11. Do you believe in love?

I do. It is out there. Despite what I have believed from time to time in the past. But yeah, I believe in it. Call me a sap. 

Have fun with your questions!

1. You are supreme ruler of the world. Your word is law. What is your first law?

2. If you could live on one food and one drink for the rest of time, what would they be?

3. What is your favorite show, book, and or movie that you love that is not loved by most others?

Tag game

Rule 1 - Post the rules. Rule 2 - Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and make 11 new ones. Rule 3 - Tag 11 people and link them to your post. Rule 4 - Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1) Best movie you’ve seen this year?

Uh I haven't actually watched THAT many movies this year but at the moment, 

THE FUCKING AVENGERS!

2) What’s your favourite OTP?

Really? :( Really going to make me pick? Okay well it's a tie between Aragorn/Arwen and Doctor/Rose. You can't make me choose! (nanananana)

3) Favourite animal?

Dogs. Hands down :P

4) Favourite Disney movie?

I gotta say Pocahontas. Everything was so beautiful, colourful, well drawn that every time I watch it, I still go "Oooooo"

5) Worst book you’ve ever read?

Um... I honestly don't remember. I think in the past, if there was a really bad book I just stopped reading it and forgot about it. It explains why I don't remember any of the bad books I read.

6) What name have you always wanted to give your kid?

Laurelin for a daughter. It's pretty but not THAT unusual and it's still different. It's also a name from LOTR lore, one of the trees from Valinor. 

I haven't thought of a cool name for a boy though. Maybe Tristan or Aaron :P

7) Favourite fandom?

Can I cheat and say tumblr? Cause then that would cover all my fandoms in one term :) Or I can say Superwholock.

8) If you could meet anyone in all history, who would you meet?

I think I would love to meet J.R.R Tolkien and just ask him how on earth could he make up a whole universe of a fantasy world. Like he wrote the freaking Bible of middle earth.

9) In the Trojan War, would you support Greece or Troy?

Ahaha funny that I know much more about this topic after Greek/Roman mythology class. I would side with Troy cause it just sucks having an established city demolished and overthrown. I like Trojans, Trojans are cool. 

10) What’s your favourite book/series and why?

If you haven't picked up on the previous answer, I would have to say Lord of the Rings. I think the person I am today, this movie/tv/fandom girl all started from LOTR. It was the first "grown up" series I started reading in Grade 5/6ish and it propelled me from reading children/teen books into the adult fiction section of the library :P

Your questions

1) What is that one memory that randomly pops in your head and it makes you so embarresed that you physically facepalm yourself?

2) If you can date any fictional character, who would you pick?

3) Which came first, chicken or the egg? And why do you think it's your answer?

4) Describe what was the proudest moment in your life?

5) What was the nastiest thing you had to eat?

6) What's the funniest joke you have heard?

7) If you can pick one person you lost (has passed away) in your life and have 1 more day with them, what would you do? If you haven't lost anyone, then pick someone that isn't alive today and answer the question.

8) Would you rather live in a place that is really hot or really cold?

9) What book/tv show/ movie changed your life in some way? And how did it change your life?

10) If you could only have 1 sense (taste, smell, see, hear), then which one would you pick? And I know if you can't smell then you can't taste... but lets just say they don't correlate

11) What's your favourite flavour? (like anything, strawberry, BBQ, chocolate)
