I was reading, but I started to get a headache. So I was practicing, and then my wrist started to ache (but I practiced for over an hour, so my attention span is doing better!). So now, pending the next ache, I am blogging out of sheer boredom.
My next vlog is (at the suggestion of a commenter) a "Favorites" video. Basically how I constructed it was I found a survey via the intergoogles that asked about random favorite things and picked my favorites. I'm hoping Mike will be in it with me, because I think both of us sharing our answers and talking about them will be more interesting than me just listing off things I like. Anywho, I'm giving myself a chance to go into more detail with my own answers here. Enjoy your preview. Or something.
Book: The Phantom Tollbooth. It's one of those books that offers something new each time I read it because between readings I've gained knowledge and experiences, so I get something different out of it every time. It's absolutely brilliant and it wears layers so that you can read and enjoy it at any age.
Disney film: It's a 3-way tie between Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Robin Hood. I feel like Robin Hood doesn't always get as much time in the limelight as other Disney films, which is sort of a shame because it's really wonderful. Plus how great are foxes? Answer: Very.
Word: See my previous post.
Color: Changes a lot. Usually it's red or green depending on my mood, but purple is entering the picture more often these days.
Sport: Obviously I don't play any, but I like watching soccer and am warming up to MMA.
Name: I really like Sam for a girl. Not entirely sure what my favorite guy name is...
Childhood book: I loved so many, but one that sticks in my mind is The Rainbow Goblins. The artwork is absolutely incredible. It's about these 7 goblins and each one is a different color, and they lasso rainbows and drink the colors. It's better than it sounds. I also loved Grandfather Twilight. Very few words, but again, beautiful illustrations.
Candy: Mike & Ikes or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Depends on whether I want more fruity sweet or a heavier chocolatey sweet. Omnomnomnom.
Flower: Sunflowers for looks, lilacs for smell.
Planet: Jupiter. It's the only one in our solar system that creates its own energy rather than feeding off the energy of the sun.
...I am still bored. Also people keep opening the door and it is COLD. Normally on Thursdays I'd go home between my morning class and my afternoon class, but it's not worth struggling across the ice any more than I already have to. Grawr. I'm tempted to go throw a post on my tumblr like "Ask me stuff, I'z boreddddd" but I hate being that person. Plus people are probably out doing things with their days. Plus most of my tumblr followers are passive. Le sigh.
You should know that I love it when you sing / But I'd love it even more if you'd stop hitting things / Regardless, I'd be heartless without you. -The Debt, Julia Nunes

ReplyDeleteYou're warming up to MMA?
Haha yeah. My dude likes watching it and I grudgingly agreed to give it a try, and actually enjoyed it. I like how the fighters have to sort of feel out each other's strengths and weaknesses (like if one guy is a really strong kicker, the other has to figure out a way around that). And then they proceed to beat the shit out of each other =] I think it helped that the first fight I watched turned out to be like, in the top 3 matches of all time.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read 'The Phantom Tollbooth'. This should be something that changes.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I did not know that about Jupiter. I love that you know little things like that, and something so obscure and quirky and logical and potentially-relatable-to-the-big-picture is why you like it.
See, people are impressed by your knowledge of Jupiter, Emma.
