Shine on Luv

Pardon pardon pardon for the total lack of posting I've been keeping up.  All inspiration just kinda went, "Poof".
All I've wanted to talk about is writing (don't want to bore you people), Wicked (Green...green...why couldn't I have been born green?) and other such nonsense.  Nothing truly worth blog posting about.

But, my dearest Fallon girl tagged me, and, well, it's a good filler, and I like answering questions and doing these dear tagged things. 

 *clears through* so, here I go:

1. How long does it take you to fall into a new fandom? If it's a TV show, how many episodes? Or if it's a movie, what are deciding factors that make you go "OH MY GOSH THIS IS MY LIFE FROM HERE UNTIL I find something new", etc.




 Uh, well. It depends. Star Trek, it took one episode. And that's normally the way it goes with tv shows. One episode, and I'm hooked.However, I haven't even watched Doctor Who, and I have a extreme love affair with it. And I hadn't watched Sherlock before it gave me those terrible feels.
I still haven't figured out what makes me go gaga over movies... But the ones I HAVE gone crazy over, (Avengers, Brave, Phantom of the Opera, Mirror Mirror,) are greatly diverse. I'm still working out what makes me go berserk with them.
As for books, I think it needs to be equipped with a steady supply of feels, mysterious characters, sweet romance, heart break, and laughs.
AND musicals. It takes me one song.  I heard, "Life After Life" and I was thrown into such a plethora of feels for Dracula. And then, "Popular" and I KNEW I needed to learn more about this Wicked. and "Look With the Heart" and BAM. I was crying over Love Never Dies.


2.  Do you have any pets? If not, what pets do you want to have someday?


Yes. I have a darling little Jack Russel named Ella. She is quirky. She hoards things. She barks is all bark and no bite. She likes to roll in things I'd rather she wouldn't (5 baths in 3 days people. 5 baths. I threatened to chain her up, and she stopped. She really does listen). and she hates dog food.
She'd prefer BBQ chips.

3.  Where is your dream place to live?

London. like, pssssh. Took you long to figure that out. ;D  But, lately, I've been looking at Switzerland, and Tokyo and thinking, "I'd like to go there". But, I'm still dreaming of my little London flat right above my tea and book shop.


4.  Sci-Fi or Fantasy? Why?

eeeeeee. You ask that of lil ol poor me?
I think I'll stick with Fantasy. on a whole. 
Though, I had a hard, hard, HARD time choosing.
Oh, wait...you asked why too.....
gah.
Uh....
Well...
Science Fiction is...
Fantasy is....
If I say, "I just do", will I pass?

5.  What color do you feel today?  What color matches your mood?

I feel green. Not in a sea sick way, but in a defying gravity way.

6.  Who is the character you relate with best? From any of your fandoms, whatever they may be.

 Jo March. I've always felt a connection to Jo. Her slight grumpy-ness, her slight 'in another world' ness (You just CAN'T burn the backside of your dress and be totally absent from you imagination). We are both writers, And, scratch the grumpiness. We both have DREADFUL tempers, and always feel terrible for them.
But a close second would be Monk.
Adrian Monk.
I've lost count of how many times he has said something that makes me go, "YES YES YES YES PEOPLE. LISTEN TO THIS WISDOM. LISTEN TO IT. NOW"
I was nearly in tears of joy when he explained why he likes to keep his food from touching.
Or why he doesn't like trash.
Or how he organizes things.
But, I haven't ever lost my significant other in a tragic car bomb accident, so I think he shall just say secondary.

7.  If someone asks you for advice, and you can only reply with lyrics from a song (any song) what would you tell them?

"Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now"

because I'm such a loser at giving advice anyway.

8.  Favorite childhood toy?

I have a little white bear, Black plastic eyes.  She used to smell like Baby Powder, but as the years wore on, she began to lose that smell.  But, my 'Baby Powder' she remained. She still has a spot next to my books, and occasionally, I bury my nose in her, and pretend to think I can still smell the baby powder from years past. 


And, I'm a loser. yet again. so, I break the tagging of awards. :3

Cheerio me ol' cream crackers,
really, don't worry, be happy now.

♪ I'd like to make myself believe...♪

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams.


I like love the songs on my playlist.  If you could do me a favor, and listen to it while reading this post, I'd be ever so happy.  ☻


Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'.
where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.

Chorus:
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and me true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.

'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomon',
Where in deep purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.

(chorus)

The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin';
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'


(chorus)

(The song was apparently written by a young soldier to his sweetheart. Two
of Bonnie Prince Charlies soldiers were captured in Carlisle after the
abortive rising of 1745. One wrote the song, the other was released and
took it back to Scotland to give to his colleagues sweetheart. The low road
refers to the soldiers impending death and the path of his spirit, whilst
the high road is either the sign of hope for which he sacrificed his life,
or the actual road back to Scotland over the high rugged hills.
Hence, his spirit would return via the low road and be back in Scotland
first.)

Isn't that so sad and beautiful?  I want to cry almost each time I listen to it.  

And I have Alice's Theme by Danny Elfman.  Mr. Elfman may be in line for replacing John Williams as best composer EVER.

"Oh, Alice, dear where have you been?
So near, so far, so in-between
What have you heard? What have you seen?
Alice! Alice! Please, Alice!

Oh, tell us, are you big or small?
To try this one or try them all
It's such a long, long way to fall
Alice! Alice! Oh, Alice!

How can you know this way not that?
You choose the door, you choose the path
Perhaps you should be coming back
Another day, another day
And nothing is quite what is seems
You're dreaming! Are you dreaming? Oh, Alice!

Oh, how will you find your way?
Oh, how will you find your way? 

No time for tears today. No time for tears today.
No time for tears today. No time for tears today.

So many doors, how did you choose?
So much to gain, so much to lose
So many things got in your way
No time today, no time today
Be careful not to lose your head
Remember what the Dormouse said, Alice!

Did someone pull you by the hand?
How many miles to Wonderland?
Please tell us so we'll understand
Alice! Alice! Oh, Alice!

Oh, how will you find you way?
Oh, how will you find you way?

Plus many others.  Like Fireflies...and When will my life begin?....and Sunshine and Lollipops...and Sh'Boom....and Jesus Take the wheel....I love me songs!
