I have a Finnish last name (Makela) which is seldom pronounced correctly, and as an American, I probably mispronounce my own last name. If you don't mind me asking, what is/how do you pronounce your name?

My name Tuisku, which is in my bio, and it’s hard to explain, but basically everyone who speaks English as a first language pronounces it as Doishka or Doishku (or Anushka, once, memorably).  I dunno how to spell phonetics but I found this pronunciation example that is correct. As for your name, Makela is an Americanized spelling, the Finnish would be Mäkelä ( Mäki means a hill, do so loosely translated that would be “a place with hills” or someone from a place with a lot of hills), of which I couldn’t find a good example, sorry!

Rules:

Always Post the Rules

Answer the questions from the person who tagged you and create 10 new ones.

Tag 10 people and link them to this post.

4. Let them know you tagged them.

Questions:

1. Are you on a computer or laptop? Mac or PC?

Laptop. PC. Dell Inspiron Mini 10. My little baby. 

2. What was the scariest movie you've ever seen?

Hmm...I'm gonna have to go back to first grade with this one. We watched Jumanji in class one day and it creeped me out. I couldn't sleep alone for days.

But if you count the story of my boss recounting every detail she could remember of The Conjuring then I would have to say that one. Vicariously, anyway. I now go to bed at 5:00 am when the sun rises.

3. What is your favourite cereal?

I don't eat cereal sorry friend. Well, if I did it'd have to be the kind with oats and wheat and those crunchable nut things. Not musli, because I hate raisins.

4. Do you like your handwriting?

I do if I take the time to make it neat, and if my elbow is resting on the table as a write because that's the only way my arm stays stable. And if not that, then anytime I write with an awesome pen that writes smoothly. Then it doesn't matter whether or not it's neat it's fun times.

5. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

A lunch that serves breakfast food, and dinner as long as it's my mom's cooking or has lots of cheese and bread and noodles - not together obviously gross.

6. Do you want to be famous?

Listen I'm glad you asked this question and let me tell you, there is not a day that passes that I don't imagine myself in interviews and comic-con panels and the like. Don't even get me started on behind-the-scenes features. I'm a witty conversationalist so it is destined to go well. And it won't be fame because of acting, no I'll be the writer fandoms will yell at. Muahaha.

7. What is your favourite song at the moment?

There are many my sister just downloaded a whole bunch and I bought the new Backstreet Boys album I hope you're sitting down for this:

In A World Like This - Backstreet Boys

Breathe - Backstreet Boys

Make Believe - Backstreet Boys

One Phone Call - Backstreet Boys

Feels Like Home - Backstreet Boys

Heart Falls Out - David Archuleta

Love Don't Hate - David Archuleta

Everything and More - David Archuleta

L.A. Baby - Jonas Brothers

Happy - Pharrell Williams

Those are the ones that had me feeling as if I had died and gone to heaven to be honest.

8. If you were to live in a different era/decade, what would it be and why?

Um...as far into the future as it takes for equality to finally be recognized and practiced and such. I hate living in a time where people aren't treated equally, let alone fairly.

9. Do you think that you'd be able to survive a zombie apocalypse? How long do you think you'd last?

Well. If I was with my parents, then my dad would probably be really good at taking charge and getting us all to a safe place, but when the zombies finally reached said safe place, or it got to the point where I was on my own then I think I would try getting away for a little while until I got exhausted. Then I think I'd just give myself up for dead and become one of them, then wait for the antidote/cure came around. I think I'd be a pretty chill zombie.

10. What are your favourite clothing stores?

I like stores that sell nice plain clothes. None of this ripped jeans, billowy see-through blouse business. I mean, it's just not my style. If a store sells plain t-shirts in different colours without any logos, and pants that fit me then chances are I'll shop there. 

But if we're talking specifics then I guess Old Navy, the Gap, one or two tables in Stitches. Basically.

My Questions:

If you were to put your music on shuffle what is the one song you'd hope came on first?

When you're sick with the cold or allergies do you take your medicine or wait it out?

What would you do if you inherited a fortune?

What do the walls of your bedroom look like?

Is it difficult for you to make eye contact?

The last experience that made your heart race?

The one place that makes you go "ahh yes, home." Doesn't have to be where you were born.

First alcoholic beverage?

Furthest you've ever traveled?

Funny thing that happened this week: go go go!

I have been tagged.

Rule 1: Post the rules

Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and make eleven new ones

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

Rule 4: Let them know they have been tagged!

1. Where can you see yourself 10 years from now?

Teaching a bunch of ruffians about music- choir and orchestra, if I can manage it.

2. Have you ever had any supernatural experience?

Unless you count that one week where I could have sworn I constantly heard a voice at the edge of my awareness saying "I will damn you", then no.

3. What was your first fandom ever?

The first show I can remember obsessing over was definitely Sailor Moon. I hadn't gotten through the entire series in third grade because it came on after school, so I made up a story where I was Sailor Pluto. The show did that idea much better than a nine-year-old.

4. Favorite book?

Other than Harry Potter, I think that the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix has been the series that I have read the largest number of times. And I still adore it as much as HP. I highly recommend it to anyone- it's written for kind of that middle ground between children and young adult, but it's highly intelligent, and fantastical.

5. If you were ruler of the world for a whole week what would you do?

I can't decide between flowers or snakes, Jane Austen novels or fleets of Dementors...

Quirrelmort pretty much dictates what I would do, though.

6. If you could get away with anything what would you do?

You mean besides literally living on the internet and sitting around being silly and creative? Not a damn thing.

7. One thing you’ve always wanted to try?

Skydiving, but I'll only do it if I'm strapped to someone. I don't trust myself to pull a parachute at the proper time. I might end up like that redshirt in the 2009 version of Star Trek.

8. Greatest fear?

This is going to sound really weird, so stick with me: going colorblind. 

Don't ask me why, because I don't fully know. But for some reason, the idea of not being able to see color terrifies me. Regular blind would be troublesome, for sure, but I would remember what certain colors were. Colorblindness- true colorblindness, where I can see absolutely nothing besides grayscale- scares the living daylights out of me.

9. Food you will never, ever eat?

If it has fennel in it, and I am aware of this, chances are it will not enter my mouth.

10. A place you’ve always wanted to visit?

I would love to live someplace like New Zealand, Iceland, or England. I apparently like ___lands. Well, those places, and Hong Kong. I've been there before and aside from adjusting to the food, it was wonderful.

As for visiting, I tend to like visiting big cities, but would prefer to live in a less populous zone.

11. Would want to have children or a family someday?

Oh, certainly. I actually want to have four; preferably two girls and two boys. I have their initials picked out, but none of the names are decided, since I obviously do not possess the children a this juncture, nor am I likely to in the near future.

And they will be very musical. I will make sure of this.

They will also call me Daddy. Because of reasons.

My Questions:

If your child were born with a mental abnormality, how would you feel?

Do you believe in magic?

What are your personal political affiliations?

What is the first book that you can remember reading?

If you could ask your great-grandparents something, what would it be?

In your opinion, how many is too many cats?

What is your favorite thing to smell?

What is your greatest fear?

Why do you think a raven is like a writing desk?

Is there an animal that makes you really happy to see dressed up?

What is your favorite name of a body part?
