Epic blog party

Look! A giveaway! And this giveaway has some really awesome prizes, so you'd do good to check it out.




If you had to choose between living on a desert island and a tropical rainforest the rest of your life, which would you choose? Normally, I would say the rainforest. But a couple weeks ago I saw a commercial on TV for one of those survivor shows, where the guy gets stuck in a rainforest a really long time and all these terrible, indescribible (sp?) things happen to him. Just the ad was gross. Then again, a desert island would be pretty hot...I'll take it anyways. The desert island. Because you don't know what else could be on the island, too. A ship, perhaps. (that was officially the longest answer ever, and I wouldn't be surprised if you stopped reading right now.)

What is your favorite music cd right now? Let It Snow Baby, Let It Reindeer by Relient K

If you were given the choice between wildflowers and roses, which would you pick? Roses.

How much do you like notebooks? Is it mild, or are you absolutely obsessed with them? It's actually somewhere in between. I own more notebooks than I could count, many of which I acquired a few years back. Hey, you know those incredible notebooks at some bookstores that have the signature of the artist or author on them? That's my kind of notebook!

I promise you, that isn't even the most gorgeous one.

What is your biggest goal this winter? Huh. I actually haven't thought about that. Perhaps get a lot of work done on Cymbeline and start my next novel. Also, I got a lot of huge (as in, "giant") pieces of paper from my art teacher, so it'd be nice to get a couple of posters done. Oh! I forgot! My family has a goal to read through the books of Isaiah and Luke in December. I want that to be my biggest goal.

If you could change your hair whichever you want, what would you do? I'd get rid of my sidebangs, which are a hassle, and I'd really love to have hair like Olivia's. But there are so many possibilities, it's a tough decision...

Do you think Harry Potter is bad? I don't, actually. I do think you can get obsessed over them, but as long as you keep things in perspective, I say they're okay to read. They're not as evil as some people would like to have you believe.

Why do you think pink is a girl's color? Awel Prince explained it. :) Other than that, maybe because boys like more generic colors? Or is that something new? I dunno.

Would you be up to singing a solo in front of a thousand people? NO. I cannot sing, unless it's with like a big group at church. Really, it's a talent, being able to miss all the notes going down and allll the notes going back up. My voice tends to waver like a wounded raccoon's.

What colors look best on you? Green, brown, pink, and light blue, in general.

If you had a different name, what would it be? Possibly Olivia.. (I'm not trying to copy the Olivia from Horsefeathers...I do happen to love that name, as well as it being the name of one of a good friend of mine.) Or many other things. Something light and flowy, such as the name Ellie (lol, another name of a friend, who happens to be Olivia's sister...guys, have I mentioned that I LOVE your names?!). Something sun-shiney.

Do you like...

boots or sneakers?
Boots.
flats or heels? I'm not gonna wear stilettos, but sometimes I like heels, if they won't break my feet. Both are cool with me. (as long as it's a small heel.)
Books or movies? --impossible to answer--
purple or pink? pink.
long or short hair? long.
a best friend or a group of friends? a best friend. You can have groups of friends and not have a single person in there that you're really close to.
ice cream or cake? probably ice cream. unless it's a total chocolate cake or something. then you got me.
plaid or polka dots? plaid. though i've been known to wear both. observe:



^ polka dots ^

But overall, plaid. :)

Go on over and join! And have a lovely night!

Singing in the Rain blog party


To celebrate her 200th post, my lovely friend Guin is having a blog party! Click on the above banner to enter. (and there are some pretty awesome prizes from Inspire` Design Studio, Robin Blogs, and The Boutique Window!)

1. What has been your favorite part of summer so far?

Hmm...this summer flew by faster than summer ever has. I loved going to the ocean and getting to be with two of my best friends for eight whole days.:)

2. What is your favorite part of autumn?

It sounds silly, but I love being able to wear my skinny jeans and scarves and favorite sweater! (brown-striped, in fact, with a hood.) Also, *dun dun dun* volleyball starts again!!!

3. Raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens?

You do like the impossible questions, don't you Guin dear? (jk:D) Hmm... raindrops on roses is very poetic and romantic, but kittens are the cutest thing on the face of the earth. (I'm a rather indecisive person, if you haven't noticed.)

4. Describe your dream house.

I have a million different tastes (part of me loves medievel castles and the other half loves bright and flashy cities) but right now...I'll go with the medievel castle on a cliff overlooking the sparkling caribbean blue ocean. Or the castle from the movie Leap Year. A celtic one covered in moss and vines at the top of a huge hill...haha I should stop.:)

5. What's your favorite movie?

Movie? Oh where to start! Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Little Dorrit, Mr. Bean's Holiday, Narnia, to name a few. :) It's actually quite easier for me to name my favorite book than my favorite movie. (The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale, in case you were wondering.)

6. Quote from the book you most recently read:

Aphrodite had the beauty; Zeus had the thunderbolts. Everyone loved Aphrodite, but everyone listened to Zeus. --Nobody's Princess by Esther Friesner (looked up Goodreads since I'm too lazy to get up and go get the book for myself.)

7. What do you like/not like about my blog?

I love your design; I love that you write it; and I love the awesome little note-thingy on which you explained your blog party;). (oh, the things that amuse me...) I just kinda wish you'd post about life and not blogging whenever you post. :)

8. Rain or shine?

I'd almost always say shine. Rain depresses me.

9. The worst grammatical mistake, in your opinion:

When people put "mi" instead of "my." Seriously?! How is that cool? Probably not the worst by a long shot, but it bothers me. I'm a spelling freak and there are too many grammatical errors that bug me to list;).

10. If you had a choice, would you want to live: in the mountains, in a rainforest, on a prairie, or by the beach?

By the beach!

11. What character from a book would say you're most like?

Dasha from River Secrets by Shannon Hale, and maybe partially Peggy from The Sherwood Ring by Elizabeth Marie Pope. And some of Iulia from Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier.

12. Be constantly talking the rest of your life or not be able to communicate in any way the rest of you life?

Be talking for the rest of my life, because if I couldn't communicate in any way, I couldn't write or talk to my friends and family.

13. Owl City or Switchfoot?

Owl City! Sorry Shaynie!

14. Taylor Swift or Selena Gomez?

Taylor Swift. Favorite singer.:)

15. Your pet peeve?

Well, I know what it is, but I'm not going to say it. (and it has nothing to do with you;))

16. What's your favorite font?

Angelic War.

17. How are you educated?

Homeschooled and proud of it!

18. Do you consider yourself tomboyish or feminine?

Probably more feminine...although I don't dress up or put makeup on unless I'm going out somewhere. Heck, I can't even put make up on anymore, seeing as I lost my mascara and I'm too much of a tightwad to buy more.

19. What's your favorite song?

Pieces by Sum 41, His Love Can Never Fail by Matthew Smith

20. Did you enjoy answering these questions?

Well, I gotta say, there were kinda hard...but maybe that's just the indecisive side of me kicking in;)


Well, what are waiting for? Go link up!

By the way--Autumn over at An Autumn Day needs more people to enter her caption contest!!! I know she would love it if you entered.
