My old url, forthemarchingkid, is going to be used as a band exclusive blog now! I'm going to post all my updates about band camp and band in general there. If you like hearing about all my band stuff, you should follow forthemarchingkid
1. If you could be famous for any crime or streak of crimes, what would your crime be?
Well, first I would need friends in high places... I'll get back to you after I've made my way up that ladder a bit.
2. If you had the choice would you have wings or a tail?
Wings. Definitely wings. I don't need a tail to use as a third arm, plus I could use the free transportation.
3. If you give up three of your favorite things you can have a wish, do you give them up?
There are many loopholes that I could use here. I could simply wish them back in my hands along with what else I wanted. I could also just give someone I trusted those items and then get them back afterwards. Unless they were permanently gone, I see no problem with giving them up.
4. What Hogwarts house are you in?
You know this! Slytherin. Forever and always~
5. What was your gateway fandom?
Hell if I know... Most likely would be Harry Potter.
6. Do you have a secret about yourself that you’re terrified of letting people know? Not because you’re worried they’ll stop liking you, but more because you’re scared they’ll worry about you, or pity you, or treat you different? (You don’t have to tell the secret, you only have to say if you have one or not)
Yes, yes, and double yes. I've admitted it to someone on anon to get it off my chest, thankfully.
7. That was kinda deep so… What’s your favorite kind of pie?
You're going to hate me for this, but... I kinda hate pie. I've tried it multiple times so you can't give me any of that "You probably haven't even tried it" or "You won't know if you like it until you try it" kinda crap. I detest it.
8. If you could go back in time and visit yourself what would you tell the younger version of you?
I would tell them to take life a little bit slower. Rushing into things has lead to more bad things to me in the long run.
9. What was the last dream you remember?
Daydream or real dream?
10. Do you want to get married and have kids someday?
No. No matter how many times I tell my family this, they insist that it happens, though.
11. What is the one fault in you that you hate more than anything else?
I have a long list of those that tie for first.
Next is djsatanwantsyourtwerkingbooty:
1) What is your favorite time of day?
Middle of the night, slightly after midnight.
2) What sound do you love?
The gentle whirring of my computer. It's helped me calm down quite a few times.
3) If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be?
Can I be a part of it too? :D I would say some battle like one in the 100 years war, American Revolutionary War, or even WWI. I like action and putting things into perspective.
4) If you were reincarnated as an ice cream flavor, what would it be?
Uhhhhh, Peanut butter cup???
5) What was the last movie, TV show or book that made you cry or tear up?
I don't cry at these things. But I suspect at the end of the Hobbit I will be because of a spoiler that I was devastated to hear. T.T
6) How do you eat your cookie?
Dipped into Hot Chocolate like a biscotti :)
7) Name something you do when you’re alone that you wouldn’t do in front of others.
Talk to myself. People thing you are mentally insane for some reason when you do that, so...
8) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4. What is it?
"...that this was only poetical exaggeration applied to any hobbit..." ~The Hobbit
9) When did you last step outside?
Yesterday when I got back to my house after a plane ride.
10) What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Animal Crossing: City Folk poster, Skyrim map, 2012 calendar, Dry Erase board calendar that is still on September. "Bonjour", pictures of me when I was 1, An Irish and Norwegian flag, clock, and many Eiffel Towers.
11) If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
That computer I want and then stow it away for a really urgent matter, leaving no paper trail or Digital fingerprint, of course!
And finally, forthemarchingkid:
1) Do people often misspell/mispronounce your name? (first, middle or last)
YES. All the bloody time... Only my first though. You'd have to be a complete moron to do either to my last name.
2) You win a million dollars to go to charity. How is that money distributed?
You're asking me to make a big decision? For others? Hm. Well I don't know of many charities, but I would probably give it to a third-world country.
3) The thing you want more than anything in the world is…
To have had one more day.
4) Describe your best friend/friends.
My friends are wonderful, smart, funny, beautiful, and all around great. I could write a series on each of them.
5) The object that you own that has the most sentimental value to it is…?
Soon to be a necklace with the petal of a red rose from my Great-Grandmother's funeral.
6) Who has been the most influential person in your life?
My third grade teacher! He was the one that actually realized I was brilliant in math and encouraged me to write more.
7) Which fandom universe would you live in if you could choose one?
Star Wars. As a bounty hunter. Hell yes.
8) What is the quality that you find most attractive in people?
Loyalty and ability to shape their own path.
9) Movie/book you’re most excited for to come out?
Next Hobbit movie, I suppose, but I'm reading the book right now so I'm not sure if that's the top on the list or not.
10) When your phone buzzes, who is the person that it’s most likely to be?
My mom. I'm really good at distancing myself from others so now I will rarely get a text from my friends. I'm not very good at socializing, feeling secure about people, or very trusting of them, either.
11) Animated characters. Everyone’s attracted to at least one of them. Who is the most attractive animated character, in your opinion?
Ron Stoppable. I mean, just look at him. He's a flawed person, but does he care? Not one bit. His entire personality is amazing, as well.
Sorry I got a bit lazy there at the end, heh.. ^^;

2. Favorite pairing- I don't really have one, but I've stuck with Spiritshipping the longest to I'll say spiritshipping
3. Favorite blog- probably Askthesciencebros
4. What's the best place in the world- When you make a nest of blankets and pillows then add a laptop and tea, that nest is the best place in the world

Alright that's the first one! Here goes number two, where I was tagged by amandinealamode
1. If you could have anything in the world right now for the rest of your life, what would it be?- Probably an adventure, Y'know like a small group of people showing up on my doorstep and saying 'You're special and we need your help' and take me away on some great story
2. What do you do right after you come homes from school/work- I do one of three things- talk to my mom for a while, go watch netflix, or get on tumblr
3. Favorite item you own, why?- I have this old gryffindor jacket I wore all through my freshmen year in highschool, it's pretty ratty and it's got some paint stains but It's gotten me thorough a lot and I love it
4. What is a hobby you have that some people think is odd- I sew if that counts
5.If you could be in one fandom and one fandom only which would you chose and why- Probably Supernatural because it was my first real Tumblr fandom

7. Are you currently reading a book? If so, which book? If not what was the last book you read?- I'm currently reading both 'The Hobbit' by J. R. R. Tolkien and 'The Fault in our Stars' by John Green
8. If you were told you would die tomorrow if you didn't kill the person you love the most in your life, what would you do?- Well first I'd steal the hope diamond, then hide it and make a treasure map and a list of clues on where to find it, I'd sell them to different buyers on Ebay.

3. The thing you want more than anything else in the world... Still an adventure
4. Describe your best friend/friends- As a group, my friends are people who honest to goodness probably shouldn't get a long, with all their oddities and differences it really almost doesn't make sense that they're friends with me and one another. But those things that don't make sense and set us apart are the real reasons we all get along. No one is the same, everyone brings something different to the table, they're nice and cruel and perfect and imperfect and caring and careless because one adjective can never sum them all up.

6. Who has been the most influential person in your life- A really, really old friend of mine named Rai

Going under a read more, for I am not that interesting.
1) If you could have anything you wanted in the world right now for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A high school band director. That's my dream job, and it makes me sad that I probably won't become one because there's hardly any need for music educators anymore, with music programs being cut left and right. I really wanna help kids love music. And as cheesy as it sounds, marching band changes people. I've seen kids come out of their shells. Hell, I came out of my shell because of band. I was the quiet, awkward bookworm who had just moved from one state to the other. Now I'm a loud, obnoxious, awkward bookworm. I really just want to help kids find themselves through music like my director helped me. And I want to watch those kids succeed on the field.
2) What do you do right after you come home from work/school? Um, I sit my lazy ass on the couch and get on Tumblr, eat things, and wait for Dr. Phil to come on. Don't judge. Some of the stuff he has on there is freaking fascinating.
3) Favorite item you own? Why? Hm, good question. I'm going to say a stuffed bear that was made out of my Granddaddy's old sweater. It's got one of his hankercheifs around his neck. My Granny had them made for me and my cousins when he died.
4) What is a hobby that you have that some people think is odd? Hmm. I'm not sure if anyone would think it is weird, but I got into the ASMR community on YouTube some time ago. Basically, it's a community of people who make videos to help others relax. I was prone to panic attacks when I was around twelve, and I could only sleep if I was listening to one of the many lovely ladies or men in this community whisper about different things. I make ASMR videos myself, though I'm not very good. There's actually a big huge explanation of what ASMR is, it's actually a reaction your brain has to visual and audio stimuli. Search it up if you're interested ;)
5) If you could be in one fandom and one fandom only, which would you choose? Why? OH SHIT ASHLEA. WHAT THE HELL WOMAN WHY. Uhhhhh...STAR TREK I'M GOING WITH STAR TREK. Why? Because I was raised a Trekkie and will always be a Trekkie. How would I live without my babies on the Enterprise?
6) Has there been something from your childhood that you will never forget/get rid of? I'm going to go with a stuffed Pooh Bear I got at Disney World when I was five-ish. I've always loved Pooh Bear, ever since I was a baby and he was on my blanket and my nursery was Pooh Bear themed. I can't go anywhere for long periods of time without him.
7) Are you currently reading a book? If so, which book? If not, which one did you last read? Not currently. The last book I read was, believe it or not, Frozen Heat by Richard Castle. My mom and I are addicted to Castle, so she got us all of his books for us to read.
8) If you were told you would die tomorrow if you didn’t kill the person you most loved in your life, what would you do? Die tomorrow.
9) Favorite culture or language? Just curious. :) Typical Otaku answer, Japanese. I realized I watch so much anime that I'm picking up different phrases, and the language is just so beautiful. I would love to learn it some day.
10) What is the first thing you notice in a person? Eye color. As shallow as that sounds, I always look at someone's eyes first. I'm fascinated by different eye colors. Like, for instance, how brown eyes can be almost black or caramel-colored, and how green eyes can be pastel green or emerald green, etc, ect.
11) Where would you rather be right now? On the Enterprise.
Okay. Now I make questions? Yes?
1) Do people often misspell/mispronounce your name? (first, middle or last)
2) You win a million dollars to go to charity. How is that money distributed?
3) The thing you want more than anything in the world is...
4) Describe your best friend/friends.
5) The object that you own that has the most sentimental value to it is...?
6) Who has been the most influential person in your life?
7) Which fandom universe would you live in if you could choose one?
8) What is the quality that you find most attractive in people?
9) Movie/book you're most excited for to come out?
10) When your phone buzzes, who is the person that it's most likely to be?
11) Animated characters. Everyone's attracted to at least one of them. Who is the most attractive animated character, in your opinion?
NOT TAGGING ELEVEN NO.
Amandinealamode (Not sure it said I couldn't tag you back)
I will put a read more here because it's super long and I don't want to annoy you all with a long post.. :I Also, sorry if I didn't tag you, I was only allowed 11! If you want to answer my questions, too, though, go right ahead! c:
Rule 1: Post the rules
Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger set for you in the post and make eleven new ones.
Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to your blog.
Rule 4: Let them know you've tagged them.
1) If there was something you could change about tumblr, what would it be?
Hm, well I did like the old layout, but I do like change... I do like the idea about having a chat bar type of idea, as well. Post limits and ask limits are restrictive, so I'd want to tweak those a bit, too... As for the app for the phone, EVERYTHING. I absolutely hate it, but it's slowly getting better so I can't complain, I guess.
2) What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?
Look at my phone, turn Pandora on since it turns off halfway throughout the night, and then I peruse my dashboard until it's finished and then I get ready for the day, if it's a school day, that is. If it isn't, well then expect me to be laying in bed for 2 or 3 hours.
3) Have you ever met any actors irl, and if you have, who?
I can't say I've met any actors... But I've met a few people in high places.
4) If you could live anywhere, even if it was like in a plane, where would it be any why?
I have thought about this many times and have a few thoughts... One is to live on the border between France and Germany with a friend. Another is to build our own house on a remote island with a different friend. The last would be a sort of apartment over a bakery that I would run with yet another friend where we would have a YouTube career at night, a gaming channel. :)
5) What made you get tumblr?
Weeeeeell, I was in Newspaper at my school and there really wasn't anything to do (besides my article but naaaaah) and I had become attached to one lovely person whom I had sat next to the entire year. She was usually on her own tumblr and I was intrigued. After a while I finally decided to get one and she was the one that actually helped me in choosing my initial username, AmandineGhost.
6) How would you picture your ‘perfect man/woman’ to be?
I don't go along the line of looks most of the time... I don't have that great of a memory with those things. To be honest, I barely remember what my own Dad looks like even though I just saw him less than an hour ago. ^^; I look for personality. Two things that they have to have is understanding and loyalty, no less.
7) Do you get on with your family?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAahahaha, wow, okay, that one was good. No. Nope. No way in hell. Never. In fact, I plan to lose communication with them ASAP. Only 1 and a half more years until that goes into affect if I'm lucky.
8) What you’d rather be doing right now?
I'd rather be making smart choices, but screw that. It won't hurt anything. That and knitting this present for a friend and continuing to watch White Collar. :D
9) If you got told you suddenly had lots of money, what would be the first thing you buy?
My new computer that I am saving up for! Then I'd hide it all in a bank account so that I wouldn't be tempted to buy anything more.
10) Do you have any fears or phobias?
A lot. More than I should.
11) What’s your favourite thing about yourself? You can’t skip it :)
My imagination. I daydream at every moment I can, it helps me escape. Plus, I have no stress while I'm at it. Goes on every minute of the day, too, so I barely freak out over anything. That's always nice!
And now my questions:
1) If you could have anything you wanted in the world right now for the rest of your life, what would it be?
2) What do you do right after you come home from work/school?
3) Favorite item you own? Why?
4) What is a hobby that you have that some people think is odd?
5) If you could be in one fandom and one fandom only, which would you choose? Why?
6) Has there been something from your childhood that you will never forget/get rid of?
7) Are you currently reading a book? If so, which book? If not, which one did you last read?
8) If you were told you would die tomorrow if you didn't kill the person you most loved in your life, what would you do?
9) Favorite culture or language? Just curious. :)
10) What is the first thing you notice in a person?
11) Where would you rather be right now?
Yes, I like vague questions because detailed answers usually come from it!
