Gobs of thanks to
Joni over at lace and fog for tagging me!
The rules:
~ Paste the
button onto your blog post.
~ Leave a new
list of questions (or just pass on the question list you answered) and tag a
few people of your random choice (and say why you tagged them, if you have
time!) (Be original and nonsensical and disastrously random!)
~Write down three
facts about you – one of them is WRONG. Let your commenters guess in the
comments which one is wrong (and tell them in the comments after a while)
~Answer the
questions of the person who tagged you – make it all super random and
interesting.
The Facts…
I
have never been outside the US.
I
don’t read comics.
I
used to have a pet hamster.
The Questions…
What
is one food that you can (do?) eat mountains of because you love it so?
Raspberries. I’m completely capable of polishing off an entire bag of frozen
raspberries in under an hour.
If
you were a Traveler Without Roots, would your home be a train car, an RV, a hot
air balloon, a boat, or just a pack on your back? Or maybe another option
completely? Either an RV or a boat—when I was younger I wanted to travel around
the world in a house boat. A hot air balloon sounds wonderful, too, but I’m not
too crazy about heights.
Name
a celebrity you wish you could spend one day with. Honestly, I’m so shy I don’t
think I could handle being around my favorite celebrities without clamming up
or making a complete fool of myself. It’s easier to pick a character they play,
in which case I’d still have to pick between Sherlock from Sherlock, Michonne
from The Walking Dead, or Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural.
What
fictional character’s house would you like to have as your own? The Burrow,
definitely. Or one of the houses from the Nanny McPhee movies. Just LOOK at them…
If
you could take a class in ANYTHING what would it be? Cake decorating. I’ve
always wanted to, though I’m not sure why.
Name
a childhood obsession. TV show, stuffed animal, book, food, pastime- anything.
I loved the show Teen Titans, even though I saw all of two episodes of it.
Raven was my favorite character. I was also REALLY into drawing and painting
when I was younger, and making miniature dolls. Anything crafty, really.
What
do you think would be an awesome theme for a party? Lord of the Rings.
Specifically, a Lord of the Rings themed wedding held outside, like Bilbo’s
long expected party, with the minister dressed up as Gandalf and the guests as
elves/Rohirrim/hobbits/rangers. And Bill the Pony would obviously have to make
an appearance. The bride and groom could pick between dressing up as Arwen and
Aragorn or as Eowyn and Faramir.
Have
you been in any clubs/groups in your lifetime? I’ve been in a book club and a
writer’s group.
What’s something you have to buy
all the time that you wish you could just have an endless supply of (Something that’s always the same thing- no books or movies!) Pencils and
spiral-bound notebooks.
What park
(national/amusement/theme/etc) would you choose to visit? Disneyland. I’ve
never gone…yet. I’m extremely jealous of anyone who lives so close to
Disneyland that they can go there regularly.
I tag:
Alyssa @ The Devil Orders Takeout
Heather @ Sometimes I'm a Story
Christina @ fairy skeletons
Don’t do it unless you want to, but I’d love to see your answers! (Also, Joni’s questions are so awesome that I couldn’t think of any of my own…I’ll just pass hers on!)

Thanks for tagging me, Alex! Argh, I don't know which of your facts are false ... I'm gonna go for never been outside the US. *shrugs*
ReplyDeleteCake decoration is extremely important. I've been making microwave cakes lately with varying success. And LOTR party sounds super fun! I would also be up for a surprise party like the dwarves in the beginning of Hobbit XD
A hobbit-themed surprise party (complete with juggling cups and plates) would be epic. Anything LOTR-themed would be awesome, and the books have so many great part scenes.
DeleteI actually have never been outside the US...but I do read comic books! Not as many as I'd like to, yet, but I'm building my TBR list.
Thanks for tagging me! Hmm... I guess that you HAVE been outside the U.S. Yes? No? A house boat adventure sounds so cool. xD Woah. :O YOU COULD TOTALLY HAVE A LORD OF THE RINGS WEDDING AND YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE FUNNY? YOU COULD GET A BUNCH OF PEOPLE TO STAND AT THE BACK AND START TO HAVE A HUGE FIGHT ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE "ONE RING" AND THEN HAVE THIS LITTLE BOY SHOUT OUT, "I WILL DO IT. I WILL TAKE THE RING TO MORDOR!" AND THEN HE CAN BRING THE RINGS TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM.
ReplyDeleteI AM A GENIUS. :D
Okay, you should obviously be a wedding planner. That is an AWESOME idea! The little boy could also be dressed up as a hobbit, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen could be dressed up like elves, men, and hobbits.
DeleteNope, I've never been outside the US! I have just started reading comic books, though, and I'm loving them. It's a very different experience from reading books that are mostly words, and I love how dark and complex they can be. Thanks for commenting!
Yay- you joined! ^^ And your answers are such fun-
ReplyDeleteThe houses in Nanny McPhee ARE amazing.
Actually, I've always been curious about taking a pastry class- and cake decorating is right there. Some desserts just look like ART (which I know is close to both our hearts. ^^)
I know what you mean about being jealous of people who can go to Disneyland often. I know this girl in Florida- she must have season passes or something because she's there ALL THE TIME. *sad sigh* Maybe someday... ^^
Thanks again for joining in!
This tag was so much fun--thanks for tagging me!
DeleteI've seen some absolutely gorgeous decorated cakes, and I doubt I'll ever get to that level, but I'd love to learn some basic decorating techniques.
I will go to Disneyland or Disney World (or both) one day. The rides I REALLY want to go on are Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan's Flight, and The Haunted Mansion.
Thanks again for tagging me--it was a lot of fun!
I was going to guess the hamster one, but I accidently saw your reply to Alyssa. :') I'm with you on raspberries - actually, make that every type of berry. A LotR theme would be amazing. You could disappear after you make a speech to fit the events of the movie!
ReplyDeleteYep, I had a pet hamster when I was younger! His name was Pegasus. I actually hadn't thought about disappearing like Bilbo does--but what LOTR-themed party would be complete without that? Thanks for commenting!
