Because I adore

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Because I adore

Because I adore quizzes.  And because I have not seen one in too long. This one's just little more than a bunch of random questions.

1)  Find something *orange!* in the room.  Describe it. 

Eh- the colored pencil sitting beside me.  Exciting, what?

2)  Your desktop?

A generic Apple picture- actually the black and white seacoast.  Quite dramatic and lovely.

3)  What did you eat for breakfast?

Creepy question...Actually french toast, milk, strawberries, cantaloupe.

4)  What are you wearing?

Bright red blouse, denim skirt, hair in a side braid.

5)  Tolkien or Rowling?

Tolkien- DUH!

6) Collins or Riordan?

Collins, by a long shot.

7)  Sirius or Aragorn?

Sirius, actually.  Aragorn is a largely symbolic figure with little or no character.  Sirius, on the other hand....*sigh*

8)  What was the last movie you watched?

Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley.  Good stuff.

9)  Favorite musical?

Reaaaallllly random, I know.  But mine's Les Miserables.

Threatening to storm.

I love quizzes too!

1) I'm at the library, and the chairs are orange.

2) On this computer, a picture of the library, but on my home comp, a pic of me and my cat.

3) A berry smoothie.

4) A purple tank top with a plaid shirt over it, sky blue shorts, sandals, a ring, a necklace and an awesome fedora hat that I got yesterday for school.

5) I really can't say. Both are epic-ly awesome and can't be compared to anyone else.

6) I've never read Collins but I know that I love Riordan and I don't think I would like HG.

7) Sirius. I nearly cried when *spoiler* he died in book 5.

8) The Percy Jackson movie. Not fantastic, but better then I had heard.

9) The Sound of Music.

10) Cloudy and cool but very pleasent.

@ Everinne:

I have a friend at school who's obsessed with fedoras.  She wears them everyday to school.  Especially in jazz band.

1)  Find something *orange!* in the room.  Describe it. 

Some rock lamp thingy my mom is keeping in my room. It's kind of... crystal-y.

2)  Your desktop?

Well, that depends, but right now it's a scene from Invader Zim. It changes every 30 minutes, though, so it might be a picture from Hetalia or Portal or Okami soon.

3)  What did you eat for breakfast?

Granola and milk. Blah.

4)  What are you wearing?

Skinny jeans, black Wicked t-shirt, and my nails are painted rainbow on my left hand. I haven't done the right one yet. :)

5)  Tolkien or Rowling?

Tolkien! Although I do like Harry Potter, too.

6) Collins or Riordan?

Collins. Riordan is... meh.

7)  Sirius or Aragorn?

Why must you make me choose!?! Sirius is my second favorite HP character (after Luna), but... I have to say Aragorn.

8)  What was the last movie you watched?

Eh, I think it was The Hunger Games. Or possibly something else.

9)  Favorite musical?

Wicked! Although I haven't seen that many.

10)  What's the weather?

Hot. Not sweltering, but still hot.

@ Gollum:

I've wanted to get a fedora ever since I saw Bruno Mars's video "Just the Way You Are." Hats are just too cool.

I really liked back to the future too!  But not because of Michael Fox.  Favorite quote:

"You can't just go into a gas station and buy plutonium!"

You do realize that you were posting at 5:55 pm, not 7...

She (he?) probably lives in a time zone where it was 7: PM, or at least 6:55 PM.

I'm going to take this again, just for kicks...

 

1)  Find something *orange!* in the room.  Describe it.

Hm.  An orange pen. 

2)  Your desktop?

Leaves.  Lots and lots of green leaves.  On trees, in case you were wondering.

3)  What did you eat for breakfast?

Nothing.  It's Sunday, and my family fasts before Mass.

4)  What are you wearing?

Leaf-green blouse, denim skirt, silver ring, hair in a side braid.  Very exciting.  *rolls eyes*

5)  Tolkien or Rowling?

Tolkien- DUH!

6) Collins or Riordan?

Collins, by a long shot.

7)  Sirius or Aragorn?

Sirius, actually.  Aragorn is a largely symbolic figure with little or no character.  Sirius, on the other hand....*sigh*

8)  What was the last movie you watched?

I'm going to change this to the last book I read, since my answer hasn't changed.  I read "No Exit" by Jean-Paul Sartre.  *ducks hail of flying objects*  It was really, really disturbing.  I was just flipping through my Longman Anthology and saw it.  I thought, hey, I've always heard of Sartre but never read any, so what the heck.  So I read it.  Very creepy.  It's a play, actually.  

9)  Favorite musical?

Reaaaallllly random, I know.  But mine's Les Miserables.

10)  What's the weather?

Very nice, actually.  Cool and windy.  My favorite.

I thought you said you changed your mind about Aragorn. Did you do it again?

submitted by Ima
(August 20, 2012 - 4:26 pm)

@Ima- Nope.  I just copy-and-pasted my previous answers and changed the ones that were different.  Apparently I forgot about the Sragorn vs. Sirius one.
