So...

11 Facts about myself:

1. My favourite genre is fantasy.

3. I have two cats.

7. My favourite book is Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George

10. My friends are weird....and so am I...but we like it that way.

11. After Comic Con last weekend, I went to the mall in my costume.

Questions from Voronda:

1. Language/s You would like to learn?

--->Ummmm...Elvish from LOTR :)

2. Would you rather live on Hoth or Tatooine? For those who don't know Star Wars: North Pole or Sahara Desert?

--->Well, if it's Hoth or Tattooine, I think I'd take Tattooine...no one lives on Hoth, and they have Wampas that eat you. But, in real life-North Pole or Desert...I don't know...i don't like extremem weather conditions...

3. Something that made your day today?

--->Realizing that I don't have to deal with high school physics anymore.

4. If you weren't your currant nationality, and you had the choice to pick you nationality what would you choose or would you not change?

--->Not sure. I probably wouldn't change.

5. Do you have pierced ears or body part?

--->Nope. But I do seem to like this earring:


6. Coke or Pepsi or Root Beer?

--->Root Beer

7. What was your last dream about? All the itty-bitty details

--->I don't remember my last dream.

8. So you get to meet your favorite band/singer and spend a week with them. Who are they and what do you do when you first meet them and what do you do during the week?

--->Just one group?? Nope...I'm gonna say a bunch, sorry :)
      Piano Guys, Lindsey Stirling, John Williams. I'd probably go out to lunch dinner with them a lot, and just hang out, talk about their music, and music techniques and ideas. Give them suggestions for their next videos...learn how cool it was to make their videos...learn how awesome it was to be a part of the Star Wars Saga :D. Oh, and Lara and Taylor Davis, too.

9. Look out your window. What do you see?

--->Trees.

10. Which do you prefer to watch Sunset/Sunrise or Stars/Northern Lights?

--->Sunrise/Sunset is soooo pretty...so, that. :)

11. Your being cast as your favorite character from a book/movie/show/game etc., in the movie of said form of entertainment. Who are you?

--->Oh, I can't just say one! Haha... So...first, a Companion in Doctor Who. Tori from Slayers by C. J. Hill. Bonnie Silver from Dragons in Our Midst by Bryan Davis would be really cool. And I'd love to be in a Star Wars movie :D



AAAANNNNNDDDD...I have also been tagged by Solace Utara.

1. What movie are you looking forward to most this year?

--->The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

2. Opinion on Maroon 5, One Direction, Fun.,and Taylor Swift?

--->Never heard of Maroon 5. The only song I've heard from One Direction is What Makes You Beautiful, and I actually like it. (Friends: Don't hate me...) Fun...I think the only song I have heard from them is Some Nights. I like it, or at least Peter Hollens version. And Taylor Swift...I don't really like her music, or at least, the songs I've heard. (Example: We are Never Getting Back Together...ummm, okay...i don't really care...and if you hate him so much...why are you singing a song to him??) Oh, wait...I really like Begin Again--the Piano Guys version.

3. Describe your best friend.

--->Best friend? I don't really have one best friend. Except for my cat, Lilly, who is awsome :D. But, I can describe my friends. Well, we are all nerds, and geeks, and fangirls...stuff like that. TJR and Oblivion like to read as much as I do, and every one of the Outliers watches Doctor Who and awesome stuff like that. They keep dragging me into more fandoms...

4. What did you think/what are you expecting of Iron Man 3?

--->I haven't seen the first two, yet, but it looks really good...now I'm gonna have to see them...

5. Harry Potter or the Hunger Games or Percy Jackson? (It drove me mad to try to answer this one.)

--->Ummm...That's tough...I Ilike Percy Jackson, but it's not my favourite...The Hunger Games...well, I only really liked the first book, and I haven't yet seen the movie. And I'm not exactly allowed to read HArry Potter, but i still love it...so...I think I'll say Harry Potter...out of those three :)

6. How long have you been blogging?

--->Since October of 2010 (I believe...you can check if you want the exact date...)

7. Five main fandoms?

--->Star Wars, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Inheritance Cycle

--->Doing the "timey-wimey, thinky thing"... (not exactly sure what that means...so, if you know, you can explain in the comments below :) )

-->Pick your friends wisely, and don't be afraid to be who you are.

2) Whom do you consider to be the hero of our generation?

-->Not sure...I don't pay much attention to the famous people. But it would be someone who sets a good example and isn't afraid of what others think; someone who cares about who a person really is, rather than what they look like.

Time for an update, I think....

Wow. I haven't been on blogger in forever. Sorry about that. I've been really busy lately.

One really good book I read while I was away is Erasing Time by C. J. Hill. Here's a quick summary: Twins Sheridan and Taylor are snatched out of their time and into the future. The scientist who took them were really looking for a genius man, but the machine seems to have messed up. Except, there is no way to get back to the past, and the scientists now want to erase the twins' memories. Can they escape this fate, and stop the men from taking anyone else from the past? And who can they trust?


Also saw the Incredibles for the first time...turns out that is just about the only Pixar movie I like...haha


I am now in Season 2 of Doctor Who...2 episodes away from the end...I am postponing Doomsday for as long as I can.


A couple of friends are trying to get me into Homestuck, but I am not so sure about that, yet...Nevertheless, I did end up cosplaying as Rose Lalonde from Homestuck on 16 June for Comic Con.
<--Obviously not the cosplay...that's just Rose from the web comic.

And finally, I have started watching Fullmetal Alchemist, the anime series.


So...how have you been, since I haven't been around to hear from y'all?
