Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make eleven new ones.
Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to your post.
Rule 4: Let them know they’ve been tagged!
1. Favourite English word and why.
Hard question. I've always been charmed by the word epiphany, it just a very pleasant word. But I have many more!
3. How do you take your tea?
Depends on what kind of tea it is and how I'm feeling. Either just as plain tea, sometimes with sugar and sometimes with honey. And if I feel fancy or sick and we have them, I might add in a lemon wedge (if it works with the tea)
4. Would you leave everyone and everything behind to go to Neverland with Peter Pan and never grow up? (even tumblr?)
Though it does sound like fun... (Depends also on with which canon you go, say the book? It's a bit less sugary than the Disney version, though most people always seem think of the Disney version when people talk about Peter Pan) Anyway, I don't think I would. Despite everything, part of me enjoys growing up. Not to mention there wouldn't be any fun in it if I couldn't even bring along any friends. And Tinkerbell and other faeries are evil. A little. They're just too small to have more than one emotion at a time, okey? ;_;
5. Name as many trickstergods as you can without the use of the internet (basically every mythology has one)
Loki, Hermus (Why in the name of God did I think Herpus?) euh, there's one in Hinduism I completely forgot, so that doesn't count. Then there are the raccoon-dog trickster in Japanese mythology (oops, where did their name go) and of course the nine-tailed fox, as well as cats who reach a certain age and grow a second tail (though they're more often malevolent than helpful) and I think the crow in African mythology
6. Last thing you got really excited about?
Euh, apparently there's a new generation of pokémon being released, though I'm having mixed feelings about that. Most of my excitement probably comes from the fact the new region seems to be based on Europe, which is kinda interesting. But meh, real excitement probably was the whole TON of inspiration for a whole bunch of stories, characters and artworks, which are mostly put on hold due to time restraint
7. Be honest, still have stuffed animals in/on/around your bed?
If in the bottom drawer of my bedside table counts, simply because that was the most convenient place to store them without banning them to the attic, then yes
Anything Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, Nine, Coraline... I trying to think of one you haven't seen yet. Cloud Atlas? Pretty sure you've seen that as well... Rise of the Guardians. Yes. Haven't seen it myself yet, BUT THE ANIMATION! It's so amazing, all the details and... I need to see it
9. What does your dreamhouse look like?
It definitely should have walls and a clean toilet, but apart from that. It doesn't have to be incredibly big, but a spacious living room with a large window (including nice view, either an idyllic nature scene or *mumbles something about hot guys*) Euh, probably mostly natury colours, browns and greens and some creams and maybe a splash of yellow red and blue, in strategic places. Calming and warm. Tons of comfy reading spots. Large bookshelves, preferably from somewhat darker wood. A decent kitchen, not extremely big or fancy, but nice and cozy with a view on the living room. A staircase with a cupboard. A round window in the attic. Maybe a nice little balcony? And a garden! But not a big one, unless I have a boyfriend/husband who's into gardening.
10. Favourite quote and/or poem?
Again! Not good at picking favourites, but... Poem probably 'I Dwell in Possibility' by Emily Dickinson. As for quotes, there's tons and tons of awesome ones, but it seems like everything he says is quote-worthy. I'm especially fond of his 'How to seduce a writer' quote. And yes, I'm too lazy to actually go and find it
Pfffrt, tired and a bit stressed. Had an exam today, which I hope I passed and still have to do some other work (instead of wasting time on the internet) Apart from that, I'm doing well. Thanks for asking ^^
1. Do you think horse-sized jerboa's would make good mounts?
2. What's the last time you got asked an incredibly cliché question?
3. Any historical figures you would like to meet?
4. Tell me a story of five lines?
5. What's the last orange item you touched?
6. If you could be a tree for a day, what kind of tree would you be?
8. What happened to number 7? And why do you think so?
9. Would you rather live in a giant magic hedge maze or a floating island that goes everywhere in the world?
10. Preferred towel colour?
11. Last play you watched?
Any good reads you want to recommend?
I tag... everyone who follows me, which is a total amount of 7 people. Actually 6, cause the seventh is in hiding or something... I dunno. They're invisble? Also, I have no clue if I'm doing the tagging right, so if not. At least I tried?
