Obsessions Of Mine

I post pictures of nails, music, cool quotes, books, and nerdy stuff (yes, I am a certified book nerd - and grammar nazi - and am proud of it). Have a nice day! :)

6 Facts Tag

[whateveridkbeatsme]

I was tagged by sunshinegutsreads for the six facts tag. :)

1. I despise peanut butter. You do not understand the depths of hatred I hold for this abomination. The smell makes me gag. It’s that bad.

2. I am generally a ridiculously positive person, despite my first fact. 😄😋

3. I love to sing and am in fact (don’t judge) a big classical music fan. Like, Phamtom of the Opera, Les Mis, even legitimate opera.

4. I adore roller-coasters and turkey legs.

5. I visit the library weekly, no matter what. It’s a mandatory part of my life schedule.

6. I am 5 ft. 11 in. I am a female. Whose spirit animal is a giraffe.

I’d like to tag all of my followers because I am too tired to spell ya'all’s urls. Sorry, I’m just that lazy. 😂💁😅😋

Barnes & Nobles trip! So excited. 😋😄😃📚📚📚

[whateveridkbeatsme]

I visited my uncle in West Virginia last week, and he had THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOKS EVER. Sorry, I just had to get that out. They looked way cooler in person, I promise. There was every classic you could think of. I really, really, want to move in now. 😄❤️❤️📚

New nails, and a good book. What more could a girl want? ;)

11 Questions

Oooh, loquaciouslyliterate has tagged me for this one again! Thank you, friend! You are awesome!

Rules: post the rules; answer the 11 Qs; make 11 new Qs

Questions: 1. Random fact about yourself? I can’t see in the dark. Like, at all. You turn lights off and I’m a goner, which is how I know I’d never make it in a horror movie. 2. Fictional character you feel you’d be best friends with? Basil from The Picture of Dorian Gray. He needs protecting and I can do that. 3. Fictional character you feel would be your arch enemy? Stephen Dedalus from Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man because he’s a complete ass. 4. If you were granted one wish (for yourself!) what would it be? I’d like to have an endless scholarship or something, haha. I’m a giant nerd and I love being in school and have this really long list of all the degrees I want to earn. But I am a peasant, so I need a butt load of money to pay for it all. 5. What is your favourite word? Sprezzatura, thanks to my English professor who hasn’t shut about it in weeks and so now it’s in my head forever. But in a good way. 6. Which author would you like to write the story of your life (eg. whose writing style)? Oscar Wilde, for sure.  7. What was the last thing you saw/heard/smelled that brought back a vivid memory? Stepped outside just a couple of minutes ago and it smelled like (potential) rain and the crickets were going nuts and it reminded me of sneaking out of my house as a rebellious teenager and walking into town to meet up with my friends.  8. Do you prefer first or third person narrative? Probably third. 9. What is your earliest memory? I was a little kid, about 3 or 4, and we went to California to see my family. My grandma had bought me this mega thing of stickers and I “decorated” my uncle’s dresser with it. He was totally cool with it. He was a trooper, that one. The stickers are still on the dresser. 10. Pick three words to describe yourself? Oh gracious. Let’s think. Awkward, sarcastic, introverted (ohhhh, am I introverted).  11. If you had a motto what would it be? Hakuna Ma-freaking-tata. Which is different from your usual hakuna matata.

Okay, my questions.

1. If you could travel back to any century and geographical location, where would you go and why?

2. If you were stuck on an island with three authors, who would you want to be stuck with?

3. Favorite book to movie adaptation?

4. Do you prefer being indoors or outdoors?

5. Where is your favorite place to read?

6. Would you rather spend a day at the beach or a night camping in the woods?

7. Introvert or extrovert?

8. What is your favorite season and why?

1. If you could travel back to any geographical location and time, where would you go, and why? I would probably go to England during the good old Jane Austen times and meet my namesake, Emma.

2. If you were stuck on an island with three authors, who would you want to be stuck with? Wow, I don't even know what to did with this question. All of them? XD Well, Jane Austen would be one, probably Rick Riordan and whoever wrote the book I'm currently reading.

3. What's your favorite book to movie adaptation? I feel like I'm sticking to a theme here, but definitely the 6 hour Pride and Prejudice. It's one of the very few movie adaptations of a book to ever get it right.

4. Do you prefer being indoors or outdoors? Outdoors if it's sunny and I have a good book with me.

5. Where is your favorite place to read? The tree in my backyard, or my couch. Both are quite comfortable.

6. Would you rather spend a day at the beach or a night camping in the woods? Umm... Both? As long as I had a good book supply...

7. Introvert or extrovert? Again, both. 😂 It all depends on how engrossing my current read is.

8. What is your favorite season and why? Winter. I live in a very warm climate, so any cool weather is welcome, and then of course there's Christmas!

9. What is your dream house like? Wow, ok I'll try to be brief: lots of full bookshelves and comfortable reading spots, and at least one really echoey room perfect for singing in. Oh, and there would have to be a piano as well. And lots of nail polish.

10. Do you know the muffin man? Of course!! He is my second cousin thrice removed.

11. If you could learn one language overnight, what would it be? Ooh, it's a tie between Elvish, Spanish, and sign language.

Rules: answer same 11 questions because I'm curious to see how you guys will answer, then make 11 new ones. I think I'll just throw this one out there to all of my followers. 😊

So.... I got really bored yesterday and then got pretty carried away and ended up making eight zen tangles on a math folder for NEXT YEAR. That's how bad it was, though to be fair, it is exam week for me and I kinda needed to destress. :/ 😂 jk I actually enjoy exams. Don't ask me why. I'm weird.

[whateveridkbeatsme]

Unfortunately, my only picture of these is blurry, but I really liked these dripping rainbow city with random grey cloud thing nails. 😂 they looked cooler irl. Promise.

[whateveridkbeatsme]

My #EOS and I!!! Seriously love this thing. ❤️❤️ I painted these a few months ago when I first went to see the new Cinderella movie. My thumb had a clock face pointing to 11:59ish, but for SOME REASON I didn't take a picture of it. Way to go, me. 😒 oh, well. Have a nice day people!

[whateveridkbeatsme]

So it was superhero/ comics day at my school and..... Yeah. 😂

[whateveridkbeatsme]

Sunset on the savanna! :) how's life, people?

[whateveridkbeatsme]

I literally just stopped doing my homework to take this picture of a squirrel. ✋😑 I am so ADD.

[whateveridkbeatsme]

Amen. Be positive, people. You have the choice to be happy, so go for it. Be happy, no matter what you're doing or where you are.

Big Hero 6 nails!! I just saw this a couple of weeks ago and I loved it! It was so adorable! So, yup, here's Baymax on my ring finger, Hero's hair on my middle, and random lines on the rest.

[whateveridkbeatsme]

Bam. I love it when this happens! 😄😄

[whateveridkbeatsme]

This was me the other day when I mixed up the time (as usual) and had to go to the beach with plain, solid green nails. It was extremely upsetting.

[whateveridkbeatsme]

I was just sitting there, looking at my bookshelf, and I thought "Wow, I really am a book nerd." The worst part: I still go to the library once a week.😂
