I have not read the owl book. I shall have to look it up so I can hate the move as much as I hate ink heart. The movie is very pretty though. Lol
YES
The first one is called The Capture. The series is called the Guardians of Ga’Hoole. They’re fantastic middle-grade books, and I highly recommend them.
Not sure if I am late buuuut.... December, June, and April
Send me a month
You’re not late at all! ^.^
December: random fact about me
Hmmm, I love really orange Dawn and Dusk. Being home alone on a chill day with all the lights off and having everything lit only with a dim orange light is really calming to me.
June: favourite book
The Book Thief
April: favourite hair colour & favourite eye colour
Hmmm, this is a toughy. I would say brown and pink hair with green eyes.

1. How do you relate to your best friend? Non-related best friend? I guess we make fun of the same people and we like talking about future junk and I don't even know?? We're just awesome.
2. A lot of people I follow are those who create. Tell me about one of your OCs. Do not be afraid to write a six-page essay. OH NO OH NO OH NO Michelle is enthusiastic about life and her future and she's the girl with all her bridesmaids before she even wants to date. At home, she likes stuff that I don't understand like Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines, but at work, she wears a lot of dark red and yellow and leather. She has anxiety-like paranoia, but more dark than social ("is that guy's jacket bulging because he's packing?" "there have been noises behind us for a few nights; are we being followed?"). She loves fantasy and pop music and gets really excited about exploring and adventuring. She's steadfast and respectful and very squeamish. She bonds with her best friend by watching movies and slicing things open. She inadvertently causes the deaths of hundreds of people because she chooses action over inaction and that messes her mental health up for a very long time. She takes her job and duty very seriously and would (and does) gladly ruin her body and mind for the people she's sworn to defend. She's of the same mind with Eren Jaeger when he says, "Mankind is on the verge of ruin! Who said you could decide to do whatever’s convenient for you?" I love her a lot.
3. On a scale of one to ten, how well can you cook? Eight maybe? What I make is delicious but it isn't always gorgeous.
4. Can you make a decent cup of tea? The tea-only coffee pot I have certainly does!
5. What do your parents do for a living? Mom manages a Walmart deli and Dad is a police sergeant.
6. What is your preferred soft drink? Vanilla coke/pepsi/whatever
7. Cats or Dogs? Dogs?
8. Big city or the middle of nowhere? Nowhere.
9. Tell me the last song you heard. Apply it to your OTP. Laugh or cry? "Make a Move" by Icon for Hire (curse you, Parsleymusic). Hmm. With a stretch, it could work for the middle of Ishval, but it's not perfect for them....
10. A little thing about America/American culture that you just really love: Our fixation on independence and autonomy.
11. If you could be a mermaid, with which fish would you want to share aspects of appearance? Maybe koi? I like the patterns and shape.
NEW (MOVIE-RELATED) QUESTIONS!
What's your favorite movie series?
What's your favorite standalone movie?
Have you ever been to a drive-in theater?
Do you prefer seeing a movie in theaters or at home?
Do you keep your ticket stubs?
What's the best movie-watching snack?
Do you have a favorite director?
Favorite actor?
Favorite actress?
Favorite score writer?
What's the last movie you saw?
Ok. I never do these but this one seems good... ok so you probably know the drill. 5 things you like about yourself public. Then send this to 5 of your followers. Or none. Whatever floats your goat.
(I've been so busy I have like four of these I need to answer eventually so I'm trying to go from the bottom-up.)
So... five things I like about myself.
I'm getting pretty good at French braiding my hair. It now actually looks like it's supposed to.
I'm a very happy person.
I'm very smart, backed up by the fact that I studied about 20 minutes for each of my finals and got good grades.
My determination is strong once I commit to something. In 2008 I decided I wanted long nails and I haven't had a problem biting them since.
I like the color of my eyes a lot. They're brown in the middle, then light green, then dark green, with a little bit of dark blue around the outside and yellow throughout them. That's a long way of saying they're hazel.

Rule 1: Always post the rules.
Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones.
Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post.
Rule 4: Actually tell people you’ve tagged them.
(Bleh, I don't like rules.)
1. To what cities/states/countries have you traveled? Can I take this as largish/important cities I acted like a tourist in? Florida: Orlando, Miami, St. Augustine, Key Largo (city? whatever), Islamorada, Key West; St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago, Colorado: Denver, Fruita, Grand Junction, Telluride, Estes Park, Crested Butte; Moab (Utah), Washington, D.C., Gettysburg, Antietam (Maryland)... I give up.
2. What occupation would you like to have? Ideally, I'd like to be a published author and a stay-at-home mother/housewife after teaching English for a while.
3. At what point does being a fangirl go from relatable to downright creepy? Right when it goes from being a geek to a fangirl. Geek is appreciating fun stuff, discussing it, and using it as entertainment and furthering of your critical thinking. Fangirl is losing coherency, ignoring real life, thinking inappropriately of the fun stuff, and appropriating another's work for their own ideas. (This is an excellent question, btw.)
4. Who are your three favorite 21st century authors? Cornelia Funke, Hiromu Arakawa, and maybe Rick Riordan.
5. What is the oldest book you have read (the Bible doesn’t count)? I read all but the last few pages of Romeo and Juliet. Maybe Sense and Sensibility then.
6. How would you describe your personality (if you know about MBTI, you can answer with your type)? ISTJ--duty-bound, logical, detail-oriented, rather apathetic.
7. Marvel or DC? Marvel!
8. Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch? Tom.
9. What is your favorite kind of sandwich? I really love Subway's Spicy Italian.
10. Do you have any pets? If so, talk about them. *unleashes the kraken* I have a ginger cat named Teddy who's very soft, affectionate, playful, and loves food a lot. // My Boston terrier is Jack (for Jack Sparrow) and he's very small for his breed (only like 23 pounds). He likes walks and completely ignores us while we walk, but he can't go for too long because his kneecaps are weird and he could get hurt if he exercises for too long. His playing is him on his back wiggling back and forth and snorting. He has terrible gas and won't eat until Ranger does. // Ranger (his real name is Aragorn) is a German shepherd who weighed 85 pounds last time we checked. He's scared of other dogs and barks at them but isn't aggressive, he has a Kong toy he loves and will fetch if you say its name, he collects our shoes and keeps them in his crate; he needs daily walks on a chain leash and prong collar because he breaks everything else, but he walks with the leash in his mouth and he weaves a lot. // Sawyer is the baby--a 10-pound black Havanese that is the most well-behaved lap dog I've ever seen. He's named after a LOST character that none of us even like anymore. He imprinted on me, so he squeals if I leave him in the car alone for a few minutes. Carrots are his favorite food and the little guy would walk until his legs wore down if we let him. When it's time to come in from the walk, he leans away from us and tries to go on alone so we have to carry him in. He also wakes me up in the morning by laying on my chest and wagging his tail.
11. What is your preferred type of mathematics (algebra, geometry, etc.)? Algebra! If I put the time into it, I even enjoy it.
My new questions:
Describe your dream vacation in detail.
Do you have any slightly abnormal hobbies that rude people give you grief over?
Would you rather be an Elf or a Hobbit?
What series (plural) are you excited to share with your kids?
Which same-gender character do you most admire as a role-model?
Which opposite-gender character would you willingly marry this instant?
Are there are books/albums coming out soon that you're excited for?
In your opinion, what makes it weird that adults like My Little Pony but fine if adults like Adventure Time? (Ignore bronies' bad behavior and focus on adult/kids show.)
How would you describe your clothing style?
We're all geeks here in some way, but would you also call yourself a nerd? (Geek = pop culture/books, Nerd = academically-inclined)
Are you happy?

You bet your buns! I haven't returned them yet, and I'm planning to rewatch them, so if you suddenly appear on my porch I'd probably let you in. ;D (Seriously, though, I think I used to threaten kidnapping you, and I'm still up for it so we can watch and discuss all the things.)
rabbits-of-negative-euphoria said: I watched Spirited Away, but haven’t watched My Neighbor Totoro yet. So many things to watch, so little time.
Spirited Away was so good! Japanese folklore is the bomb. Totoro is the cutest thing and once you see it you'll understand exactly why everyone's in love with it. Probably.
This is something else I wanted to do for Christmas. It’s late now, so maybe it’s a New Year’s present!
Friends I had prior to Tumblr or friends I’ve made since:
why don’t you all go to my school that way we could be buds how dare you
confessionsofahairdyeaddict -- This is my best friend. She doesn't come online all the time, but when she does, her posts are great. Aside from her many amazing story ideas she's in the process of writing (WRITE FASTER I’M BORED), she posts goofy stories occasionally, and I think she's thinking of starting a longer, not goofy one sometime...? Talk to her about The Giver and she’ll love you forever probably.
thehannahisnotcool -- She's my friend IRL, and I could seriously talk about books and movies and tv until the lower half of my face falls off. She's so fun and lovely, and her blog is multifandom with posts that I haven't seen 10,000 times already (which is such a good thing).
kingclever -- I met her through Pinterest while talking about fandoms, and she's writing an INCREDIBLE book for which I cannot wait and have emotional breakdowns over because holy cow I ship her MCs so much. She’s evil to them and will definitely be published someday. She's got a beautiful Doctor Who blog and sometimes posts her awesome drawings.
rabbits-of-negative-euphoria -- Also met her through Pinterest. Her blog is clean and multifandom and very awesome. She debates occasionally and always wins because she's so smart and eloquent it almost makes my head hurt. She's awesome and I don’t think I’ve ever met a more kindred spirit.
kingdomofelsalation -- I might not share many of her fandoms, but I love her non-fandom posts. She's smart and funny with great ambitions and her new dog is SO pretty. Basically, she deserves perfection.
And now, alphabetically:
amyandrorypond -- She's funny and has a very awesome blog. Again, I'm not in many of her fandoms, but I appreciate seeing all her posts.
animek22x – She’s sweet and is a much more devoted writer than I'll ever be. She's got great posts and she and her boyfriend are so precious and I wish you two the absolute best.
entertaintheworld -- She's very nice and passionate about her interests, and has a pretty blog with excellent posts!
parsleymusic -- Also haven't talked much, but so smart and nice and with such a good blog with some rarer fandoms I've nearly forgotten about until she posts about them and it all hits me hard again.
perks-of-being-a-nerdgirl -- I found her through Pinterest, and she's devoted to and enthusiastic about stuff she loves. She's got so many nice fandoms; I'm pretty sure she's the one I reblog from most.
_______________________________________________________
No matter how much I don't often reblog from them or respond to things within a sane period, seeing them all on my dashboard makes me so happy and I've never regretted following them. Thank you all so much for being so awesome!
I'm tagged by rabbits-of-negative-euphoria (who you should follow 'cause she's cool like that)
rabbits-of-negative-euphoria’s questions:
1. If you could attend any university in the United States and the UK, what would it be? I'm completely content with the college I'm in now and I just want to graduate and get on with my life.
2. Share one interesting fact about your geneology/family history. Um, I think someone with my last name was in the Crusades or something.
3. Take the last song you listened to. Apply it to BBC Sherlock. Is it sad? (It probably is.) The Goo Goo Dolls' Soldier. Yes, holy cow. I was listening to it in Mustang/Hawkeye context but I also remarked on how well it would fit John or the Doctor.
4. Do you prefer to have short fingernails or longer fingernails? Long enough to hear them clack on the piano keys.
5. Pencils or pens? Pencils for cursive, pens for print.
6. Take your two favorite ships. Swap characters. Are they still adorable? HAHAHAH no. River flirting inappropriately with Roy until his face is redder than Edward's coat. Roy burning alive anyone who looked wrong at River. Probably not. The second Riza saw the Doctor go dark, she'd shoot him in the back. That's her job, right? Also a no.
7. Can you sew? No, but I want to so badly. I need to make clothes for my dolls that aren't hideous.
8. If someone made a movie about your life, who would you want to compose the soundtrack? Assuming it never becomes sad enough for Howard Shore, then Dario Marianelli. I want a life as happy and golden as Pride and Prejudice.
9. (Sorry, my questions are becoming shipping activities.) Take your current favorite character from fiction. If you could ship them with any person in history, who would it be? No one. My favorite character happens to be part of my fourth most-loved ship, and it would kill me to see them separated.
8. What is your least favorite place you’ve ever been? Chicago. I felt like I was about to be murdered.
9. Favorite Christmas tradition? Trying to make eggnog with my sister, forgetting to stir it constantly, accidentally making cream-heavy cooked eggs, and sticking the whole thing in the blender and hoping no one notices.
10. If you could be in any Shakepeare play, what would it be? A Midsummer Night's Dream remains one of the most terrifying and fun-sounding adventures ever. (Wait, you mean act in it or BE in it?)
11. The Lumineers or fun.? fun. is gross. I looked up a Lumineers song, and while it's far better, it's not quite my thing.
kennabeth's questions:
1: Which of your fandoms did you previously insist you'd never join?
2: Summer or winter? (pretend school isn't there either way)
3: What is your absolute favorite book, the one you would metaphorically die defending?
4: If you could marry a voice, whose would it be?
5: How do you feel about cloaks?
6: Why are you on this site in the first place?
7: If you could live anywhere on the planet, where would it be?
8: If you could live anywhere in fiction, where would it be?
9: What's your favorite superpower/magical ability?
10: Thoughts on Black Friday?
11: Which ship of yours do you want your future marriage to be like? (minus angst)
