*palmface*

I just realized that I totally forgot to award the 3!!!

SO,
I awarded

Hannah at Aspire
Gray at The Locket
Cassie at Inside My Mind

 

Thanks so much Ivory!

T'was awarded by Ivorydancer over at Another Once in Time. Thanks so much, again, I'm honored. =)

Rules:
Post about the award.
Award 3 other people.

If you could write one word, what would it be?
Oodles

Use one word to describe yourself:
Misunderstood. (nonono, wait - who wrote that!)

What is a random phrase you'd like to say right now?
(how about a random quote?)
        "A day without sunshine is like, you know, night."
-Steve Martin

Think up an absurd title for a book:
How To Read A Book ...(sorry, I know it's already a title but I can't help but think that it falls into that category)

What is the strangest sentence you can think of?
I could more then likely name quite a few from some of my saved writing... but then that would be showing too much. You can thank me later.

What do you write?
You could call me a jack-of-all-trades; historical fiction, biographies, fantasy, sci-fiction ... and one romance story (the title was A Misadventure of Two Lovers - more of a comedy then romance btw)

Why do you write it?
Because I can... and I love a good story and I like to think that I could write down what's in my head

If you had a weird disease and could only make a sound over and over, what would it be?
Well, to start with, I'm sure the odd disease would be Anglophobia-Caligynephobia-Zemmiphobia-Lutraphobia,(no, it's not a real disease) and the only sound that I would be able to make would be the sound of a nail against a chalkboard (didn't you just cringe think of it?!)


 

Award

So Jare and I were awarded not once, not twice, but 3 times with this award!

{crazyness, right?}

+++++

Calico Zak awarded Jare and me this one, Coolest Blog Award. This is for all my followers.

+++++
And the comic Zits one is for, Earwen, Saerwen, Myranda, Bethany, and anyone else who loves the comics ZITS!
+++++

And here is a tag, that I have gotten so many times I can't even remember anymore. I will be doing this one, Jare has opt out of it this time.
I think I have gotten this one from, Marion, TJ, Zak(?), Bracie and I know their was someone else.
"List twelve characters from any fandom, and then answer the following questions."
1. Gregor (From Suzanne Collins Underland chronicles)
2. Mulch (From Eoin Colfer’s Atemis Foul Series)
3. Benjamin Martin (*the Ghost*The Patriot movie)
4. Widge (from Gary Blackwood’s Shakespeare series)
5. Mr. Rochester (from Charlottes Bronte’s Jane Eyre)
6. Eugene from Adventures in Odyssey
7. Joriem (from the Beyond the Summer Land by LB Graham)
8. John (from Die Hard)
9. Wylla (from LB Grahams series)
10. Butler (from Eoin Colfer’s Artmes Foul series)
11. Aljeron (from LB grahams series
12. Alexa (from Patrick Carman’s Land of Elyon series)

1) Who would make a better college prof, 6 or 11?
Eugene! …I can’t see Aljeron stuck in a classroom all day
2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
Ummm…well I think Mulch would love it if I said he was hot…but no-sorry.
3) 12 sends 8 out on a mission. What is it? Does it succeed?
Alexa sends John on a mission…it involves terrorist, guns and a holiday. Yes he did succeed…he always has.
4) What is or would be 9's favorite book?
Wylla’s favorite book. Something with romance in it. Maybe a Jane Austin novel.
5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Mulch to Eugene, er. That is a hard one…I guess it would be Mulch to Eugene.
6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should (s)he share a studio apartment with 9 or 10?
Mr. Rochester with Wylla or Butler… I can’t see either. Mr. Rochester would more than likely fall madly in love with Wylla. And Butler would not last a day before knocking Mr. Rochester senseless.
7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Mulch, Joriem and Alexa, they go to Burger King (the only place that Mulch has not been thrown out of). They discuss the troubles that come along with being thrown into a prophecy/story/case. “The injustice of it all!”
8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
OO! Benjamn and Butler! What would happen…I actually have no CLUE!
9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would she/he get it back?
If Gregor stole something from John (which would be his wife or daughter) He would get it back by force himself, first asking the government and than after they tell him they have it under control he would just kill Gregor and it would be over. (poor Gregor!) It funny that these two were paired up, both are fighters/warriors. But only because, they do it for their families.
10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
Joriem and Alexa, Peace At Last
11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Gregor and Widge. Gregor would need someone from his family in trouble and Widge would just need to be told.
12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
(Joriem) it would be great!
13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be? Having Benjamin show me how to shoot well, also knife throwing would be the most excellent awesomeness!
14) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
My friends list??? Aljeron is great, his scares are highly fun to sketch I guess
15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
If Mulch had to choose between Widge and Mr. Rochester I think he would pick Widge. But I have to think further on that.
16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
Butler would not shout, he would silently get some high-tect laser gun and shoot the whole field. Whole problem solved.
17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
(John) Maybe, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough (“Baby!”)
18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Gregor would stare at it then looks to Eugene with longing in his eyes. Alexa would smile, say she was fine, and take of sip of her tea. Gregor would get it in the end.
19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
No line, Mulch would just backfire in Butler’s face =) It has been done before.
20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
(Mr. Rochester) I don’t know the word for it, what is it when you have a wife(but she’s crazy, mentally mad) and than you almost marry someone else(when first wife is still living) ? I guess that would be it.
21) What is 6's secret?
That he never passed his Drivers Exam!
22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
that’s a hard one, either Aljeron or Wylla, I think it would be a tie…or it would have to matter on what was at the end of that destination.
23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Either Joriem or John…more than likely John, but on second thought, Joriem.
24) 1 and 9 reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's sinister secret organization. 11 volunteers to help them,but it is later discovered that s/he is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wiseadvice of 5, they seek out 3, who gives them what they need to complete their quest.
What title would you give this fic?

Gregor and Wylla reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by Widge’s sinister secret organization. Aljeron volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he is actually a spy for Widge!
Meanwhile, Widge has kidnapped Alexa in an attempt to force their surrender. Follow the wise advice of Mr. Rochester; they seek out Benjamin, who gives them what they need to complete their quest.
I think something like “Black Powder&Chocolate” or “Crime Is Divine”I don’t know!

And I'm going to be lame right now and say that if you want this tag, then take it!

I'm to tried right now to think of anyone else...blah.

I had a ring…but it really broke(it got bent and I could not get it on anymore. But I still have, even though it looks like the letter D)
