 Treskie's tag:

Rules:

*Answer the questions
*Tell four very random things about yourself.
*nominate if you feel like it (or essentially that.)

1) Avengers or Batman?
ohhh....Good one, Treskie. Um. I adore them both. I'm pretty sure I hafta go with Avengers, though. :D <3 <3

2) What is your favorite kind of dog?
Great Dane..oooooohhhhhman. I love those dogs. so huge and lovable and gorgeous. ^_^

so squishaaaay!! <3 <3 *huug dat puppy*

3) Bourne or Bond?
Bourne. all the way baby. :D especially Bourne Legacy. *Jeremy Renner* yess...

4) Do you have any desire to learn how to use a gun? Sword? Bow and Arrow?
 I already know how to shoot a gun. :D Sword and bow and arrow. YES PLEASE! I really want to learn. :D

5) When watching a movie in a foreign language, would you rather have subtitles or have it dubbed over?
I've never watched a movie in a foreign language....I've started them before but I can't STAND it. either way it kills me. I think I prefer subtitles though. dubbed over drives me out of my mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Katrina's tag:

1) What sort of a book would you describe yourself to be? (i.e., are you a fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian ect.?)
uh....I don't think at all I could describe me as a book. lol. Maybe a goofy weird children's book....that people go "O.o gosh...that's so...hm." lolz.

2) What would you be likelier to do? Order coffee with a British accent, or pretend to be deaf when someone talks to you?
Definitely order coffee with a British accent. I do a pretty good British accent. xD It's true.

3) A total stranger walk 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 see if he is hostile before punching? or (c) Go all coward and run away, screaming like a banshee?

Is there a "d"? I think I'd step back and see if he is hostile before pullin' out the pepper spray...because he might have germs on his face that would be transmitted onto my hand through contact caused by punching...

4) Would you rather be sick with the stomach 'flu or a shockingly bad case of strep throat?
The 'flu....definitely...I can't stand sore throats at. all. :P

5) if YOU could be a super hero, what type would you like to be?
The kind where they're really epic and you're totally not sure if the powers they have are actual superpowers or if they're just SUPER AWESOME. xD Kinda like Toni Stark...and batman. and hawkeye and Black Widow. <33333

6) Someone yells "OBEY!" what's the first thing you think of?
A Dalek. Or, perhaps all those t-shirts in Zumies in the mall....that all said "obey" all over them. yeah. That was strange.

~~~
Right then! :) On to random facts, I suppose. Four of them. comin' up.

1) I love hoodies. like, *love* hoodies. They're my security blanket. especially when I go places. idky
2) I DESPISE hand lotion. it sicks me out on a huge level. all slimy. eeew...
3) I love bracelets! a lot of them. at once. :D
4) I have a hard time throwing things away. my room is full of random stuff I've had fore forever that prolly ought to be thrown away but that I have some sort of silly attachment to. yep. weird.

because it's the Doctor. 

Done!! I won't nominate anyone as I'm rather short on time at the moment. but thanks for the Tags Treskie and Katrina!! I had loads of fun. ^_^

Happy Saturday, folks!

3) When you think of music, what is the first song that pops into your head? Can you explain why it is that one?

That Mozart Concerto that I'm playing for the Federated Music Competition. yes, I can! Because I've been practicing it for weeks on end and have to have it perfected and memorized by the beginning of March. :) Actually, it did take a little time to narrow it down to just one song. about fifty popped into my head when you said that. :D <3 

4) Do you remember the first time you met your best friend{s}?

Yes! well, one of them anyways. :D I was terrified to death to meet my brother's Girlfriend's family who lived about four hours away that I *had* to become friends with. I've always been terrified of meeting people. I'm so glad I did meet her though, because Noni is now my bestie and I just love her to bits. ^_^

Questions from Caitria:

Now put your tongue back in. Ice cream or cheese cake? 

Doughnuts. oh, that doesn't count? ok.

Usually cheese cake. 'specially if it's chocolatey.

Tagged again and Concertino by O. Rieding...

P.S. I'm sorry about the strange color and font on this post O.o I think it is because I copied the questions and it didn't change fonts when I pasted and I don't know how to fix it. lol. :P


P.P.S I know a "P.S. at the beginning of the post isn't very normal, but I put it at the end then decided that I would say it before my strangely fonted post. xD lol. <3 


Hello Again!
So, I was tagged in another quiz this week by Mel over at Crazy Rants! She has a fantastic blog. It is one of my faves. :D Anyways, Here are my answers. 


1. Someone walks up to you and tells you that you can go to the moon on a NASA mission for free, without any astronaut training. What do you say? OMGSH!

2. You go over a friend’s house for dinner, and they are serving stuffed peppers that taste and look like dog food. When the person asks you how it is, what do you tell them? - um... How 'bout this weather??  

3. What would you rather swim in an entire pool of? Orange soda or Maple Syrup? - Orange Soda. I hate the way maple syrup smells. xP 

4. So let’s say your in a dressing room in a clothing store, and on the hook thingie on the back of the door there’s a camera bag with a camera inside. The owner could be long gone by now… but what do you do? -Ask around...Then feel bad for whoever left their camera there, then idk wat I would do. lol. 

5. What would you rather swim in an entire pool of? Sour Cream or Honey Mustard salad dressing? -Sour cream!!! xD I hate honey mustard, but Sour Cream would be fun to swim in. ^_^ 

6. You’re house is on fire. What’s the first thing you grab? (other than living things like people and animals and such) -My violin. Probably. or photo albums. 

7. A package suddenly mysteriously arrives on your doorstep one day, without a return address and a sticker that says: “THIS SIDE UP”. You open it. Inside is a real live penguin. What do you do now? -Squeal and try to convince my parents to let me keep a penguin. <3 

8. What would you rather swim in an entire pool of? Grape Juice or Raw Eggs? (yup. I said eggs.) -Eggs could be fun. As long as they were store eggs and didn't smell bad. Grape juice would be boring. 

9. Your best friend invites you to go see a movie with her, but you everything you believe goes against what this film is about. What do you say? - I say that I'm not going to see that movie because everything I believe goes against it. lol. I wouldn't stop her from going, though, if her authorities had given her permission. 

10. What would you rather swim in an entire pool of? Baby Food or Lava? (if the lava wasn’t painfully hot) -ooh!! Lava!! I have always wanted to swim in lava. for real. It looks so fantastic to play in doesn't it? The fact that it is thousands of degrees hot is what has stopped me. Well, That, and I've never been around Lava....

11. Your friend is over your house and while you’re in the middle of having a conversation with her, she pulls out her phone and begins texting right in front of you. What do you do now? -Be silent, and look right at her in a kinda shocked state. I think she might get the picture....

I am so glad that it is finally Thursday. School has been a trial for me this week. :P I seem to be barely able to get all the days school done before 2 in the afternoon and usually I can finish either before or right after lunch. :) Anyways, we don't have school tomorrow because we have orchestra. <3 I love orchestra. I love playing my violin again!!! hehe. Earlier this week I just couldn't get it to sound clear at all. It was...kinda muddy. :P The sound just wasn't crystal. If you know what I mean. lol. Anyways, I was thinkin' that maybe I need new strings or something and mom was like "Have you cleaned your strings recently?" DUH!! LOL! I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of that. :D My mum is so smart. xD lol. My violin sounds gorgeous again and I have been practising like crazy. I am getting better with my federation piece. I am not worried about the difficulty of playing it, I am worried about having four pages worth of music to memorize in just a few weeks. 0_0. 
Here is the Youtube link to the song I am playing: 


 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHIuEBQ8238&feature=related&fb_source=message

My hands are cooold!! golly. I am going to post a few of my recent edits then grab some coffee and watch F-Troop with the kiddos. <3 <3

These are my three fave pairs of shoes. xD <3 

<3 <3 Luvluvzzzz!!! <3 <3
