in which i was tagged ages and ages ago by both pondsandbeyond and somewhere-in-stardust and i'm finally getting around to answering those tags. sorry for the delay guys!
so i'm going to do both of them in one go (even though yes, i know that's technically cheating). and then i'm going to post the eleven questions. if you guys feel like answering them, drop me a message telling me you have, and i'll pop on by!
Rule 2: answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make 11 new ones
Rule 3: tag 11 people and link them to your post
Favorite song of the moment?
"the enigma of river song" by murray gold. or "beautiful things" by gungor. it's a toss-up.
Fandom that you fell in love the fastest?
What would you find sitting directly to the your left?
Ever seen or met a celebrity?
sure, i've seen lots of them on t.v. shows and movies and the inside flap of book jackets. but in real life? nope. not a one.
Tom Lynn and Polly Whittacker from the little known book by Diana Wynne Jones, "Fire and Hemlock". it's been a favorite of mine since childhood. (river and the doctor are next, followed by howl and sophie.)
um. all my relatives are relatively normal. suppose that just makes me a bit boring then.
Strangest tracked tag you have?
wait. tracked tags? whatter those, exactly? *facepalms at my ignorance*
this one's so hard! um, um, um, i have so many! hang on-- either jane kenyon's "the suitor", e.e. cumming's "anyone lived in a pretty how town", alice fulton's "what i like", dylan thomas's "fern hill", isabella gardner's "in the museum" . . . i could go on for hours; i have many, many more.
Favorite Doctor Who episode?
"girl in the fireplace". madame de pompadour's theme never fails to make me cry.
Favorite stuffed animal you own?
my falling-apart corduroy that i've had since i was six. (i'm now eighteen. he's still at the head of my bed.)
1. How long have you been on Tumblr?
since . . . febuary? march? not very long.
2. How many people do you follow?
52 people exactly. (i had to double-check to make sure)
3. Did you grow up in a small or big town and did you liked it?
i did my growing up years in a very small town where main street's about little over a mile long. i have an irrational fondness for it, and i'm glad i grew up there, but i'd definitely want my children to grow up in a slightly larger city.
4. City or nature person?
nature definitely. the only reason i really like the city is a) bookstores b) thrift stores c) symphonies and d) saturday markets. the kind with fruit and vegetables and crafts and things? gotta love those.
5. How is the whether right now?
right now? slightly chilly, seeing as it is nighttime. but during the day it's very quite nice.
dandelions make me smile, all bright sunshiney yellow like that, but whenever i can i'd like to receive carnations or sunflowers.
7. What was your childhood career choice?
first i wanted to be a hairdresser, which is why i cut my own hair all by myself with my mum's long handled shears when i was four. then it was a vet, until i realized i was too squeamish for such a thing, and then i remember for a short while i very seriously considered being a ballerina. then i decided to just own horses when i grew up, all the way out in virgina, then when i was nine i settled on being a writer, and that's stuck with me ever since.
8. If you were a crayon what color would you be?
YELLOW. or TARDIS BLUE. depends on the day.
9. List your five favorite tumblr blogs.
and everyone else. (loophole. i exploited it.)
10. Describe your blog in 3 words
1. Scarf or fez?
2. Name five good songs. GO.
3. Imagine: You're sat alone in a restaurant, when Sherlock Holmes comes and sits with you, and begins to make true assumptions about your life. Your reaction?
4. Fill in the blanks:
Once upon a time, I went for a walk with - in - and we nearly got - by -. Luckily, - was around to -.
5. What's your favourite item of clothing?
6. Do you have a favourite comedian?
7. Do you like your toast underdone or overdone?
8. Favourite method of procrastination?
9. Name your favourite actor/actress, your favourite genre of film, and your favourite food. Now imagine that this actor was going to star in a new film, of the genre that you just mentioned, that somehow incorperates your favourite food. What's the film called, and what's it about?
10. What are you really supposed to be doing right now?
11. If you could have a sleepover with your 5 favourite people, fictional or otherwise, who would they be?
