I've been tagged, ohmygoodness.

By Sydeli!

And because I'm lazy, the rules are to answer the questions when you've been tagged and...then write your own. But I'm probably not going to tag anyone or write questions, hahah.

1. What is your favorite book and why? -Oh goodness. Really? I need to choose? I have several. But I'll go with a nice and simple standalone. I really, really loved Ico: Castle in the Mist by Miyuki Miyabe, because...honestly, it's just beautiful. The game brought me to tears before I had even played it, and it's always had a dear place in my heart. When they released the book, I already had it preordered, and I was the first person to write a review for it because I finished it in a single day. It's just...one of the most beautiful books I've ever read, and I'd recommend it to every single person.

2. What is your definition of love? -My definition of love is selflessness. You can't love someone and be selfish with them. You can't love someone and purposefully hurt them over and over again. Real love is always doing what's best for them before what's best for yourself. Real love is wanting them to be happy, and wanting to make it better when they're sad--and when you're the one to make them sad, at the very least apologize. To love someone is to act like you love them--not say you do and treat them the complete opposite. To love is to be there for them, always. And when you can't be there, show them you still wish you could be. If you love someone, you protect them. You don't lie to them.

3. Favorite songs? -Whaaa, I have a lot of those, too! Right at this moment I would probably go with "Losing Your Memory" by Ryan Star. I love songs that I can most relate to.

4. Thing you miss the most about being a little kid? -Not having to worry about the future.

5. Favorite Disney princess? (Don’t deny it, you know you have one) -Belle. She was the most selfless, and she's a girl after my own heart with her love of books. She always did what was best for the people she loved, even if it scared her, like taking her father's place in the Beast's castle.

6. OTP(s)? -Actually list them all?? That's a toughie. Phantom/Christine (Phantom of the Opera) Tidus/Yuna (Final Fantasy X) Tommy/Jude (Instant Star) Jace/Clary (The Mortal Instruments) Arthur/Guinevere (Merlin) Merlin/Morgana (Merlin) Will/Tessa (The Infernal Devices) Harry/Hermione (Harry Potter) Sheldon/Penny (The Big Bang Theory) Hope/Vanille (Final Fantasy XIII) Zack/Vanille (Final Fantasy VII/Final Fantasy XIII) Ico/Yorda (Ico) Cal/Sophie (Hex Hall) Darcy/Elizabeth (Pride and Prejudice) Sam/Dekka (Gone) Alek/Chloe (Nine Lives of Chloe King) Emmett/Bay (Switched at Birth) Wilke/Daphne (Switched at Birth) Jasper/Alice (Twilight) Edward/Bella (Twilight)

And those are just the OTPs. ._. I ship a lot okay.

7. Is there any word you mispronounce constantly despite people correcting you, and if so, what word(s)? -Penalty. Because I refuse to pronounce it PEE-nalty.

8. What is the longest word you know how to spell? -I suppose supercalifragilisticexpialidocious doesn't count?

9. Is there anything worrying you now, and if so, what? -College. The possibility of being forever alone and I'm coming up on my eighteenth birthday fast and no guy has ever shown a remote interest in me. That the friends I have now are going to realize how little I can offer them and move on, like the last one did. That the people who say they love me are lying to make me feel better.

10. Did you fall for Cole Sprouse’s sociology experiment? -To be honest, I don't even know what it was, hahah. If someone ever wanted to explain that'd be cool.

11. What are you looking forward to right now? -Thanksgiving and being with my family!

Nat, you should just know that you are literally one of the best friends I have. You're always so polite, and you seriously can make me smile no matter what I'm going through. Pretty much the only thing that kept me sane this summer was talking to you as much as I did. Don't ever think you're not a good friend. Because, honestly, you are sometimes the best friend I have. And those times when we talk so often that we fill each others pages? That is more comfort than I could ever ask for. Thanks<3

I think it's about time I answered this one. I've kept in my ask box, looking at it and not looking at it because I was too embarrassed but I came around and read it again and rinse, lather and repeat the process for who knows how many times. xD I'm glad I am able to be of help and bring a smile to your face and fill your YouTube comment page with needlessly useful useless information. <3

A Second Shameless Self-Promotion Plug

Hahaha, I know; I'm terrible!

Anyway, I entered a short story contest on Figment, and I'd really appreciate it if you guys voted for me! I don't think you need a Figment account to vote (by "heart"-ing the story on its page), but if you do, then just ignore this unless you have an account!

Here is the link to my story! http://figment.com/books/161021-Rumentist

It's an edited version of the first chapter of a book I've worked on for the past five years. This is also the first public release of the story in any form; I've kept it in the vault from every human being except for myself and my editor for the past three years. Releasing part of it like this is a big deal for me! If you like it in the least, I'd appreciate the votes! The $5000 prize would be really nice!

Thanks everybody!
