Writer's Camp [ Day Eleven ] Would You Rather/What Now

Day Eleven: Would You Rather/What If

Today we are going to send one of your characters on an adventure! Take a character from one of your stories and give us a brief summary of who he is. Then answer the questions below. This game will help you think like your character, making choices he would make as apposed to ones you would. It might help you understand and know your character better too. Plus, it's fun. 8-D

Juliette Walgrey. Private Detective. AOA.

1.) Would You Rather Be Hot or Cold?

I like being warm. When I'm cold I wrap up in a big blankets and drink tea.

2.) Would you rather work at night or during the day? 

I like evenings. They make me feel calm and creative.

3.) Someone knocks on your door. What now?

Uhm, I army-crawl to the window and peak out to make sure it's not someone I don't want to see.

4.) Would you rather go without food or water for a day?

I guess food, because you can survive longer without that. But I'd rather not be without either.

5.) Someone tells you your life is a lie. What now?

I wouldn't believe them unless they could prove it. If they proved my life was a lie, I'd probably panic and have a meltdown.

6.) Would you rather be settled or have the open road?

Oh, I like being settled. It's good to have a place called home. 8-D

7.) Would you rather loose sight or hearing? 

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT??? I think... maybe... sight. Just because I love music so much.

8.)  Would you rather have a dog or cat?

A dog, obviously!

9.) How do you respond to betrayal, pain, loss?

I get sad. Like, I'll get angry, but it's the sad-angry which means if I try to tell you off I'll probably cry, and I'll feel achy and empty....  Yeah.

10.) Do you like music?

OH YES! Especially classical musical. Though there are some pop singers I like too.

11.) Do you like reading?

Absolutely. I read at least one book a week, usually.

12.) Would you Rather face a lion or a bear?

A bear. A brown bear.

13.) What is something that scares you?

Not being able to help the people I care about, or failing the people I care about. I'm also scared of spiders, wasps, and creep dark forests.

14.) Would you rather be in a crowd or alone?

It depends on my mood, but I tend to wander off on my own a lot.

15.) You're family is threatened. What now?

I plan to take down the people threatening my family and bring them to justice. I'd probably enlist help from people I trusted.

16.) Do you put a lot of importance on family? (Answer honestly.)

Yeah. Family is really important to me. And not just blood, but like, friends too.

17.) Do you believe in God/heaven/angels, or something of the like?

Yep! I'm Catholic.

18.) Would you rather have coffee or tea?

Coffee in the morning, Tea at night.

19.) Would you rather take a long walk in the forest, or a bike ride down a parkway?

I like riding my bike a lot. But I like riding it on the back roads, just me, no one else.

20.) Do you like snow?

Yeah, but I don't like lots of it for long periods of time.

21.) Do you like rain?

I love rainstorms, I don't like it when it's just drizzly and grey.

22.) What is your favorite thing to do?

Read, write, and listen to music.

23.) Would you rather spend the day indoors or outdoors?

Outdoors!

24. Do you like summer days?

Spring and Summer are my favorite seasons, so yes, summer days are great!

25.) If there was one person you would drop everything for in their time of need, who would it be?


I need to pick just one? There's lots of people I'd run to if they needed me. Zoe, Martin, my Mom and Dad, my sisters, my cousins.... there's too many to just pick one.

So. What do you think? Peace out y'all!

I get to chat about fictional characters.

Well. Once again it's been over a week since I've blogged. I feel terrible. I'm not even that busy. I had a birthday gift I was working on for my sister Amy and that took up a lot of my time - and it's still late. Which sucks. It should have been done - it would have been done if the stupid freakin colors would work out right.

(On that note you guys, I really hate coloring videos. I can never get mine to look like I want them to and it ticks me off.)

ANYHOOSEL. I was tagged by Ivy Miranda. It seemed like a good tag, and I knew I'd forget if I didn't do it soon, so here it is!

FIVE MALE CHARACTERS TAG

Rules: 

1.) List 5 of you favorite male characters (book or screen)

2.) Tagging other people is optional

3.) If you are tagged link back to the person that tagged you

4.) Link back to Revealed In Time (preferably using the link to this post)

Choose one from each category.

1.) Hero

2.) Villain

3.) Anti-hero

4.) Best book-to-screen adaption

5.) Best character perception 

yes, let's keep that in mind.

I have lots of male characters I like.... this is going to be really hard. I'm going to feel guilty when I do this. I hate picking favorites. 

1.) Hero. 

Holy crap. There are so many heroes that I love! How can I narrow this down?? *grinds teeth.*

Okay. I think one of the most heroic characters ever is Sam Winchester. He always tries to do the right thing, even when it's hard. When he screws up he blames no one but himself and does anything and everything he can to fix the mistake. He lay down his life and surrendered himself horrible torture forever to save the world. He didn't know there was any way out. He didn't think he'd ever be saved. He did it anyway. He will sacrifice everything for his brother. He would die for his brother. He would rip the world apart for his brother. When it comes to family and friends (and almost everyone) Sam Winchester is unceasingly generous, kind, gentle and forgiving. Like he literally forgave his 'friend' for breaking open his mind, causing all sorts of hallucinations that drove him almost to insanity and practically killed him because the nightmares and visions made it so he could barely eat or sleep for weeks. He didn't just forgive him either - he stayed his friend and tried to help him! The guy is incredible!

"... and if you come with me, I can take you to it."

If Sam is selfish, its when he thinks of others - his family, his friends, or even strangers. He hardly ever thinks of himself. Like, the one time he was selfish for himself that sticks out in my mind was when he went to college. But I don't think that was really selfish. He was getting out of a toxic situation and finding some freedom. He just wanted to get a job, get married and be happy. I don't think that should be considered selfish.  Sure, he has his bad days. (And sometimes those are very bad days,) but at his core he is a good, strong man who is incredibly optimistic and always tries to see the best in people and in the world. He is very brave, very kind and very gentle. He protects people. He never gives up and he does what's right.

"I kind of know what I'm dealing with. A lot of people got it worse."

*other heroes that I love are Dean Winchester, Sydney Carton, Steve Rogers, all the Avengers, Michael Scofield, Matt Murdock, Fred and George Weasley, Rory Williams....the list goes on.

2.) Villain. 

Hmmm... Villains. I don't think Loki qualifies as a Villain. He's more like an Anti-hero/Anti-Villain, Sooo... Let me think. *cracks knuckles*

I like the Master from Doctor Who. He is clever and funny and he acts a lot like the Doctor but evil. He's a really good villain and I hate what they did to him in Season Eight. I also really like Saruman from Lord of the Rings, chiefly because I like the parallel Tolkien drew between Lucifer and Saruman and Michael the Archangel and Gandalf. I think it was cool how he showed that Saruman, this incredible, powerful, beautiful wizard with all this potential, got corrupted and fell into darkness; just like the devil did. He wanted too much and he thought himself better than all the other creatures of Middle Earth. He wanted to be a god and was willing to do anything to make that happen. Another villain that I think is really good is Julian Verrers from The Masterful Monk. He is a rabid Atheist who hates God and His Church, and he is super creepy and crazy and I hates him. He has a ton of charisma and this unnerving ability to gain the trust of others. He is like one of those horrible politicians with the hidden agendas, but way, way worse. He is a very good villain. He's the kind of villain you wish you could drop kick down a cliff. 

Okay. I don't think I have a favorite villain. Julian Verrers is horrible and evil so let's go with him.

3.) Anti-Hero. 

I'm guessing the Anti-Hero is the hero who works for good but has serious flaws and isn't completely 'pure' in his intention.

"These darker heroes can be jerks, pathetic, hard, jaded, or mean..." - source.

Severus Snape. Snape is one of the biggest fictional 'heroes' ever. Almost everyone knows about him. Whether you are a Potterhead or not, you will hear about Snape. 

I'm going to be frank here. I didn't care much for Snape in the books. I liked him in the movies. I watched them before I read the books and I thought he was a good character. He was a jerk, but that wasn't all he was. When I read the books though, I didn't connect with him the same way. I felt bad for him but I didn't really like him. Yes, his death was sad. Yes, he had a hard back story. No, I didn't hate him - how could I? But I do think J.K. Rowling wrote him way too dark. Alan Rickman did a good job with the character because he brought out a very sympathetic, human side to him. He's the reason I like Snape.

Too fabulous for you.

Snape is a very complex character. He isn't the type of person you could get close to easily, if at all. He is cold and distant, spiteful and sharp. He isn't very nice to the students at Hogwarts and he picked on most of them, especially the popular ones, like Harry. But Snape was dealt a bad hand in his life. He grew up in an abusive home. He didn't have friends because he was so quiet and odd. Even at Hogwarts he didn't find the safety that it brought most children. He was a Slytherin, so he was instantly hated and bullied. James Potter and his friends made his life miserable. He had one real friend, Lily. She was a girl at school that he eventually fell in love with, but he lost her after an especially bad day when he called her a dirty name. Lily never forgave him and terminated their friendship. Then she married James, the very man who had tormented him his whole childhood.

Snape was with Voldemort for a short time, but turned on him and joined Dumbledore. He tried to protect Lily and her family from the Dark Lord and even asked Dumbledore for help, but he lost her all the same. He then dedicated the rest of his life to protecting Harry (who, by the way, looked just like his dad.) And he didn't stop there either. He played spy for Dumbledore and took the fall for Hogwarts over and over again. He allowed himself to be framed as a traitor to protect the school, the students and Harry. He gave up his reputation, his home, and the few teachers whom he counted as friends, all in the name of love and loyalty. He never defended himself against the lies or the hate. He stayed on the outskirts, watching over the students and teachers from afar, and he defended them against all the attacks he could. And he took care of the children, even when it seemed like he hated them. (I actually think some of the reason he acted like a jerk was because he had to play the role of the traitor, and kids like Draco reported back to Voldemort.) Severus Snape was an angry, bitter man, but he loved and sacrificed himself for love, and ultimately lay down his life to protect others. And that is pretty heroic.

"Look at me."

4.) Best book-to-screen adaptation.

One of the best book-to-screen adaptations I've ever seen is Aragorn, from Lord of the Rings. I think Peter Jackson did a really good job writing his character for the movie. No one else could have been Strider. No one could have done Strider better. He was Strider. He wasn't quite as ridiculous as he was in the book, but who could be? Tolkien was ridiculous, and sometimes that kind of ridiculous can only be read, not acted. (Could we really have Aragorn pulling out his sword every two seconds to say "this is the blade that was broken! Rawr!!") He made him a little more serious, but otherwise he was shockingly accurate to the book. I absolutely LOVE Aragorn in the movies. He was so perfect. From the minute he appeared in the Prancing Pony, he was perfect. He was noble and strong, but hesitant to take his rightful place on the throne. He was brave and kind, with a wry sense of humor and a cranky sort of attitude, but a soft, kind gentle side. And Peter Jackson didn't do anything in the movies to blemish his character.

Because Aragorn is FAbuLous.

5.) Best Character Perception.

I'm not sure... I'm guessing this means a character who has the best (or most accurate) idea of himself? Like, a character who doesn't really change but is simply revealed as who he really is.

Alright. Sydney Carton. (you knew that was coming didn't you?)

"I am at less than my best on a fairly regular basis."

Sydney Carton is one of the best characters that has ever been written. When he is first introduced, (especially if you don't know the story) he comes off as a very careless and rude character. He has a lazy sort of attitude and he seems like the type of man who doesn't bother about anything. He seems to have no respect for anyone, including himself, and he appears to take way too much liberty with pleasure. You wouldn't think Sydney was a good man at first. You might think he was kind of a lowlife. Pathetic, yes, but still a lowlife. This is, in fact, how Carton views himself. He thinks he's pathetic, rude and a failure at everything he does. He's a filthy drunk with no worth and no friends. This attitude and rough idea that he has of himself projects very loudly and it is what the audience sees; A lost man who really needs to sober up and get his act together. But as the story goes on, the audience starts to see more of who Sydney actually is. They see how he is treated. They see how he is abused by his boss and his 'friends.' They see how much he wants to be better but that he thinks change is impossible for a man like him. As the story continues, the audience realizes that their first idea of Carton was wrong, and slowly their view of him starts to change. They see a kind man, a gentle man. They see a man full of courage and love who has so much to give, so much to share. They see a man who cares deeply and viciously and who wishes to be better if only he wasn't a failure, if only he was 'stronger.' They realize he is flawed, but behind his flaws there is a man who would sacrifice anything in the name of love and friendship, a man who is strong and brave, a man who will fight on when everyone else gives up.

Sydney does go through a character ark, but it's more like character fulfillment. We see him make friends with Lucy and her family. We see him drink less and less - and he never drinks when he is at Lucie's home. We see his flaws start to pull away and the man inside become more and more clear. At the end of the story, when he gives his life to save Charles Darnay, it isn't really a shock or a change for his character. You realize that this is who Sydney was all along. He always had the potential to be stronger and better than he was.He always had the goodness in his heart, he always had the courage in his character, it was just hidden behind his anger and self-hate. His sacrifice for Charles, Lucy and their child was just a fulfillment of who he was. You guessed what he was going to do before it even happened; Oh. Sydney Carton is going to die for Charles. Of course he is. He's Sydney. Ack!!!

Yes, Carton does change, but I think all characters do. He tried to be better for Lucy, he tried not to drink so often, he tried to see the world as it could be, not as it was. He never saw the goodness in himself, but the audience saw it very well. He was always a bit of a brat, but when he was sober and himself he was also very kind (and he had an obvious soft spot for children.) And he took care of others. When he went to Paris to help Charles, he spent the last days of his life comforting everyone else, all of Lucie's friends and family that had somehow become his too. He never asked for any comfort himself. He never told anyone about his plans. He never boasted or showed himself as the heroic martyr. He was quiet about his sacrifice. And up until his death, he still thought he was rather worthless and ridiculous, and he actually believed that no one would miss him when he was gone. It wasn't until he was walking up to the Guillotine that he finally saw the good he was doing, and the man he had finally become; the man the audience had seen all along.

perhaps in death I receive something I never had in life
- I hold a sanctuary in the hearts of those I care for."

GET IN LOSERS WE'RE GOIN' VACATIONING

PINKIE PIE!!!

This weekend I an on a mini-vacation. My bestest friend went out of town and asked me to look after their house, so I've been sleeping over at her place.

I brought my sister, because sisters always make things better.

WE ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN! Last night we made this FAbulous coffees with their Fabulous coffee maker and we had chocolate and stayed up past midnight doing whatever we want. Like writing. And shouting. And listening to loud music. And watching Flashpoint and having a Grimm marathon. BECAUSE. GRIMM. - on this note, Grimm is making me very fangirly right now. I keep screaming and yelping and shouting and grinning. I love Season 3. It is so good. I love how interesting the characters are. I love the stories. I love the plots. I love the friendships. I love Monroe. I love Rosalee and Juliette. I even love strange little Woo. And I really, really love Nick. NICK IS A BADAPPLE.

Me watching Grimm

I. Slept. In. Past eight!!!! And then I made scones and had breakfast in my pajamas.








Fluttershy

It is just soooooo much fun to do whatever you want.

I need more weekends like this.

Guys, I really hate editing so I've taken a BREAK.

I'm vacation! Don't judge me!

MARATHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Guys!!!!!! GUYS!!!!! GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!

HI!!!!!!!!

It is January the 28th. It is early afternoon and the sky is in a horrifically foul mood. I think it is sulking over the lack of snow its been able to scrape up after all these months. It is acting a bit immature I think. I'm sulking for the same reasons but I'm not wearing grey and thundering about, doing nothing. Besides its cold. It needs to let the sun out. I'M COLD.


IT'S NOT EVEN SNOWING! IT'S STUPID RAINING!


Whatever.

GUESS WHAT IMMA GONNA DO! IMMA GONNA DO AN LOTR BLOG PARTY!!

YOU HEARD ME LOSERS!



Shawn and Gus

It will start next week and will last five days. It is open to anyone and everyone, unless you are one of the Uruk-hi or a servant of the Dark Tower. This shouldn't be a problem... unless some of you have some very interesting secrets. *squints*

What brings this on??? I'll tell you. It's because we are doing an LOTR Marathon this week.




Celebration

It's been about.... four years since we last watched these movies. I was thirteen the last time we watched it. I know right?? Four years is way too long to wait! No one should wait that long. I nagged my sisters relentlessly until the finally released how obscene a four year wait really is, and agreed to do a marathon.

I love marathons!! Especially Lord of the Rings Marathon. We take three whole nights to stay up until midnight and drink coffee and eat brownies and basically make merry. 

Lord of the Rings is a big deal in my family. The Blog Party is gonna be fun. You should join 8-)

ONWARDS!

I've been trying to take time to read again. (hahahhahha) This means I haven't been doing as much writing as I'd like. But I did open Splintered Courage and I am now editing it. I didn't realize how much I missed those boys until I started working on them again.

I've also started actually writing on The Baxters.

I LOVE THE BAXTERS. THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Okay guys, I am still looking for Beta readers. I think I have two. If anyone else wants to read A Conspiracy of Thrones, I am still open to sending it out to people. Just leave a lovely little comment.

Okay guys. I have fabulous things to do and fabulous music to listen to, so I will have to bid you all a fond farewell.

PEACE OUT LOSERS!

TWO IN ONE

I have every intention of doing a book review for Martin the Warrior, but at the moment I am reading The Thief, and have little time for anything else. So for right now I'm going to do one more tag, just so I don't forget to blog, and then I'm going to curl up with said book and goggle over Gen, who is, as Amy says AWESOME.

This tag is from John. I think it is a Liebster Tag, but oh well. I was also tagged by Dare so I'm going to do two tags in one. Half Dare's questions and half Johns questions. Sound good? Good.

First, John's tag

3. Answer 11 questions from the person who tagged you.

So it has come to this.........

Okay, I was going to do a review on "The Bells of Saint John" but then I was tagged so I skipped the review. Reviews are hard.
I'm not sure what kind of tag this is

RULES!
Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their sight (THANK YOU JACK)
Post 11 random facts about yourself
answer 11 questions from the blogger who tagged you
Nominate 11 other bloggers  (haha)

11 facts about me

I hate apple pie
I think the color blue is way over rated
I play clarinet
I don't like wearing black
I love Arthur Pendragon
I love Iron Man
I think Monk is brilliant
I hate books about Vampires
I've never been to Boston in the Fall
I'd take the lake over a pool
I really don't like posting facts about myself

Jack's questions

1) The Doctor shows up and asks you to be his companion at the same time Sherlock asks you to be his blogger. Who'd you pick?

The Doctor. Sherlock isn't very nice to his bloggers. Besides, he has John.

 2. In the great Clara debate, who do YOU think she is. (And if you don't know who Clara is...I've two words for you. No, three. Watch Doctor Who.)

(SPOILERS!) I think Clara is an ice person. Oswin was a genius. Her mind, her soul escaped the Dalek and was caught up in the snows of Victorian London. Without her body, Clara could only mirror. What is the first thing she mirrors? The memory of herself. Left in the snow are traces of her mind, or "The Great Intelligence." The real Clara is an ice person who has become human. And she's learned not to melt aka die, So she keeps reappearing in different times throughout history. The Great Intelligence is a memory left in the snow of Clara's mind. Far fetched idea, yes. But you never know. I bet Moffat is going to kill this companion too. He likes doing that.

 3. You're falling off a building, which Avenger do you want to save you?

Iron man!!!

 4. Would you go for a ride in a cold, hot air balloon?

Yes.

5. Does your wardrobe lead to Narnia?

No. I am very distressed about this, believe me.

 6. You meet an Alien who is about to kill you. Do you offer him a Jelly Baby or run?

I'll let the Doctor do the talking. He's probably told me to get out of there anyway.

 7. If your best friend faked his death to save your life, then popped up a year later to inform you he was still alive, would you faint or punch him?

PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE. HARD!

 8. Buttered popcorn or plain?

Buttered please

9. Have you ever had a flip phone in your possession and wished to yell, "Beam me up, Scotty!" into it?

Oh yes, quite a couple times.

10. What is your favouritest book?

I have way too many 'favorite' books. But "The Last Crescendo" By Owen Francis Dudley, is brilliant. I love love love that book.

11. It is raining, do you go for a walk in it or sit by the fire with hot chocolate and a good book?

I would go out and stamp about in the cold and then come in, get a good book and sit down by the fire.

11 Questions for those I tag

1. Phantom of the Opera or Les Miserables?

2. Have you ever climbed trees in a skirt?

3. Did you ever own play handcuffs - and put them to good use?

4. When was the last time you went swimming in the snow?

5. Did you ever make your own bows and arrows?

6. Were the witches in your childhood games ever good witches?

7. Did you ever create a fantasy world into which you could escape?

8. Do you dream in color or black and white?

9. Cake or pie?

10. Are you a) 'early to bed early to rise' b) 'late to bed, late to rise' c) Late to bed early to rise.

11. When you hear the word "magnificent" what's the first thing you think?

There is no way I'm going to be able to tag 11 bloggers, but I'll do a few

Ivy
Natasha
Alexandra
Nessima
Rose

Before I go, I have another video I made :)

Its also on Youtube if you want better quality :)

Have fun y'all

God Bless!

Some Randoms sharings, Flying kites and Just One More Tag

I have decided that I quite enjoy Wanted; Dead or Alive. I've always liked the Wild West - who doesn't? - and I love Steve Mcqueen. He is so cool! There is a charm about him, you can't help but like him. I'm not a Wantedhard (Wanted fan) or anything, I just really like them.

Though I haven't seen it in a while, I want to say that Ramona and Beezus is really, really cute. It has the perfect amount of comedy with just a dash of romance and a bit of wild salt thrown in. The actress they got for Ramona is absolutely brilliant, showing Ramona, not as a naughty girl, but simply as a girl with a bit too much energy and a knack for getting in trouble. Beezus was wonderful too, Selena did a good job acting liked the slightly annoyed older sister. I thought their relationship was super sweet and wholesome. I also loved how simple and real the family was. Its a great family movie, one I'd recommend for everyone

Giving BBC and its Sorrows a rest, my sisters and I decided to watch the final of Leverage (which was brilliant!) and, before Lent, we had a Psych Marathon. You have to be a bit careful with this show, it is usually clean but every now and then you get a bad episode, which is never fun.

I forgot how much fun Shawn and Gus are. They are just so odd and uninhibited. Sean and Gus are me and my sister, Christina. I'm Shawn. He is so me  

should I worry about this? 

*Everyone I know* 

I don't think I should worry about it. I like Shawn a lot so being like him doesn't worry me much. I'll just be a little more mellow is all

I'm on my way with the Brian Jacques Challenge! Martin the Warrior is AWESOME and I already half-way through. I have read it before but this time I love it all the more. I have quite fallen for Martin - again - and I adore Rose. *Sigh*

I finished my first ever fan video. It is , very short, a test-run type, to the poem from Doctor Who "Demons Run when a good man Goes to War." Because it is Lent I shan't be able to work on the Real music video as much as I'd like, but I hope to have it finished in a couple weeks. If I am feeling brave and adventurous, and i if I get enough requests, I may even *giggles nervously* post it.

My family went out and had a lovely day in the meadow with kites and crispy ice. There is still snow everywhere so we had to stand on frozen snow. In the cold. With buckle shoes and sweaters and a terrible wind. But the kites did soar for us and it was grand fun anyway. We came home to meet pizza.

One last thing before I go. I had every intention on letting all tags collect dust. I still do. But I made and exception for this one.

This tag is from Kat over at World Crafter, so before I give the tag game a long rest I was going to do her interesting and surprisingly fun tag :-) I have to do SIX questions and four random facts about myself. 

Questions -

1) Which book would you describe yourself to be? (are you a fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian etc.)

Probably a fantasy. I'm a very fairy-tale like person.

2) What would you be likelier to do? Order a coffer in a British accent or pretend to be deaf when someone talks to you.

My British accent is a bit rubbish so probably I'd play deaf. That's new.

 3) A complete stranger walks up to you. Do you (a) react instantly and punch him in the face before he has a chance to introduce himself? (b) step back and wait to see if he's hostile before punching (c) go all coward and run away, screaming like a banchee?

I'd step back and wait to see if he's hostile before punching. 

4) would you prefer to be sick with the flu or a shockingly bad case of strep throat?

  What kind of question is that!!? The flu is terrible but strep throat? If it was a light flue then I'd take the flu. I have never had Strep but I've heard it is horrible. Plus you are ALWAYS swallowing which must be just miserable.

5) If YOU could be a superhero what type would you like to be?

The Doctor type. A sort of, partly crazy, thief like superhero with a lot of spunk, the ability to fly and the ability to create fire. Lots of fire. Like this -

"I say you're gonna die. You sing FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!"

 *My apologies if you got that*

Someone yells "OBEY!" What is the first thing you think of? 

THE HUMANS WILL OBEY!!!!!

Four Totally Random Facts

1) I laugh at inappropriate times. Someone will say something awful and I'll start laughing because of how they said it. Person "A man drown in his private pool" Me - "Hehehehe"

2) when I was little I tried to persuade my neighbors and friends that I was shy. I swore it up and down. I got over that. Now I'm more like - "Hello world! I'm Bella and I'm Bold."

3) I can list all 50 states of America without falter!

4) I have a bad habit of drifting off into acting day-dreams. I'll just suddenly start acting for no reason. I'm odd that way.

Now for my six questions

1) If a friend asked you to go with them to another country for six months to a year, would you?

2)Does the word "Saxon" feel you with fear and dread?

3)Which bedroom do you belong in? A) The Flowery type b) the Simple and interesting type C) or the White-walls-clean-dresser type.

4) Who is your favorite Avenger?

5) You are in Starbucks. A stranger offer to buy your coffee for you. Do you accept?

6) Who was the 21st President of the United States? 

I don't know how many people I'm suppose to tag. I'll tag Cait and Mime and Eowyn and, if she wants to do one Alexandra

Adios to all of youse. Probably no Weird Wednesday this week. I need to make some changes to that day anyway. Sorry of all you.

God Bless!
