Merry Movember! I've been tagged. ;_;

1. You're living in post-apocalyptic earth. Only three people aside from yourself have survived that you know of. Which three people would you want to be survivors?

My little sister (because she's extremely smart and awesome), my big brother (because he's super strong and skilled in the fighting ways), and Jet Li. Because Jackie Chan is getting old and he's equally as awesome. c:

2. Bow and arrows or sword?

Either or. I've taken archery lessons and am actually quite good even though my hand-eye coordination fails at everything else but I also know how to use a sword.

3. Whose you're favorite superhero?

Catwoman. Even though she isn't always a hero, she fights for what she believes in and can never really go astray because she's been on the far ends of good and evil. She's also sexy and can steal anything, especially the hearts of EVERYONE!!

4. You run into a giant, carnivorous dragon while strolling through the woods. You don't have any weapons. What do you do?

I would train that beautiful creature!! Duh.

5. If you could live in any video game, which game would you choose to live in?

That's a really tough one. I'd say Mario but I might kill Princess Peach because she's way too annoying and in that case, I'd say Zelda or Assassin's Creed.

6. Say on Halloween you turned into whatever you dressed up as. Who or what would you have turned into? Would you have any powers?

I would have turned into Blossom from the Power Puff Girls since that's what I dressed up as this Halloween. Of course I would have super powers! Extra strength, flying, and lasers. I'm awesome!

7. If money was no abject and you could have the studio of your dreams, where would it be and what would be in it?

It would be in Hawaii or Japan or France and would have really weird furniture designed by myself and the walls would be covered in my art and photo-collages of all of my family and friends and pets I used to have (RIP). It would have the nicest writing desk/ art desk ever since I can't even afford a cheap one, a plushy office chair, bean bags, giant cowie stuffed animals and tiny one and medium ones and the ones I already have, a hot cocoa machine (I don't drink caffeine of any kind) and a smoothie machine, a mini-fridge, a mannequin, a sewing table and machine and kit, a puppy (preferably a pug), and I could go on but I'll get way too detailed.

8. Who is your favorite musical artist/band?

My top favorite are Tool and Avril Lavigne but they shift from Nirvana to Paramore to Taylor Swift to Matchbox Twenty/ Rob Thomas to Fuel and so on. I mostly listen to Indie Rock and Alternative.

9. How often does fear hold you back?

Unfortunately, I'll have to be honest and say a lot. I'm slowly facing my fears, one by one, but it's hard because I have anxiety so that alone holds me back. I'm not usually pressured socially but I fear rejection, like anyone else, and disappointing people above all things. I also fear being unwanted or ignored, left alone, being alone at night, etc. I'm probably the only girl that fears commitment in a relationship as well but that is number one on my list for improvement. ^^ And I have improved a lot there. I also fear that I will never reach my goals or accomplish my dreams or become successful in doing the thing I love the most.

10.Do you feel that if Walt Disney were alive today he would approve of what his company has become?

They still keep the concept of never giving up on your dreams but the acting has gone downhill and the television stars they pick are not role models for the most part (except for Demi Lavato, of course) and many of their films are starting to lack deeply in quality. However, they do have Pixar even though that technically is a separate company and again they made comebacks with Tangled, The Odd Life Of Timothy Green, Wreck-It Ralph, and many others. I feel like they've started to slack-off in their creativity and need to re-focus, especially if they're going to continue television shows.

Because quiestinliteris.deviantart.com… tagged me...>.<
RULES:
1) You MUST post the rules.
2) Each person MUST post 5 things about themselves in their journal.
3) Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4) You have to choose 11 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5) Go to their page and tell them you have tagged them.
6) NO TAG BACKS!
7) No stuff in the tagging section about "You're Tagged If You're Reading This" You legitimately have to tag 11 people.

Five things:
1. There is an inch-long scar on the inside of my big toe on my right foot from kicking a metal bench when I was ten.
2. I am irresistibly attractive in knee-high socks (seriously, I have been told that A LOT).
3. I only sing when I am truly happy or trying to get bad thoughts out of my mind.
4. I can relate to every song on my iPod in some way except for the ones about sex and those are only on there because they are so fun to dance to!!
5. I am most afraid of being forgotten by people, not being of interest to anyone, cockroaches, a man hiding under my bed or in my closet, living for too long, never getting to see the world, and letting people down in any way.

QuiEstInLiteris' Questions:

1. List ten objects you can see from where you're sitting.
Paint brushes, Vogue magazine, my journal, empty bottle of peach water imported from Asia, the skeleton jaw of a shark, a picture of my siblings and I as small kids, an Algebra workbook, a sleeping bag, a glue stick, a picture of my brother and his friends at prom.

2. Are you usually early, late, or on time? That usually depends on my dad. He makes me late to a lot of stuff but I'm usually right on time or a bit late because of myself. I feel awkward if I'm early and I believe no woman should ever be early to anything. We do have to make the sandwiches after all. ;)
3. Are you ever intimidated by other artists? I don't mean just recognizing that your work can be improved, but genuinely being intimidated. What do you do to get yourself past that? I'm not intimidated by other artists unless they are a scary person in general. I am intimidated by my sister, dandiliondrifter.deviantart.co…, because she is younger than I am and far better but we help each other out with our work and critique each other and there's no reason for me to feel like I have to compete with my own sister at art. She also knows all of these ways to kill people and get away with it...never cross that child.
4. What is your favorite smell? New things and old things, especially books as well as vanilla anything, burnt wood, assorted jams and jellies, pine cones, and Bar B Q. They all remind me of childhood. <3
5. Do you hide money? What are your plans for your savings? I used to hide money but I realized no one is going to steal from me because I'm broke. HOWEVER, I was standing on my bathroom counter washing the mirror a few months ago and I found an empty Peach jar on top of the cabinet with money inside that I put up there when I first moved in. That was three years ago. I'm awesome! xD The jar is 8 years old and still smells like peaches. O_O
6. If you had a sidekick superpower, what would it be? None of the standard stuff like flying or invisibility or shape shifting, now. THIS IS A HARD ONE!! *cries* Well, I've always wanted to read peoples minds. I know people have some wicked gross thoughts but there are some people where I would just want to SEE what goes on in their heads because they are brilliant. I mean, absolutely brilliant. Also, it would be easier to know who is a genuine person and who isn't and maybe I'd get hurt less. :) I'd also like the ability to breathe under water so that I could stay there for elongated periods of time. I love water!
7. What is your earliest memory? After an hour of thinking...most of my early memories are crouching on the living room floor of my dads apartment watching cartoons with my blankies wrapped around me or playing Pokemon with my brother or my brother and I getting in trouble but I think my absolutely earliest memory is when I was about three years old. I was sitting on the couch of my moms apartment with my brother and we put this sticky frog on the lamp and watched it melt. There was a black spot on the light bulb for the next few months.
8. You're at a dinner party with ten of your favorite fictional characters. Who are they? Give me one line of conversation for each of them. I LOVE  YOU FOR THIS QUESTION!! They would be Flynn Rider and Pascal from Tangled, Snoopy, Kermit The Frog, Misses Piggy, Cookie Monster, Flounder from The Little Mermaid, Sammy Keyes from the book series, Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson. I would probably hug Kermit a bunch and have a ninja fight with Misses Piggy and tell her what a bad ass she is, Sammy Keyes and Sherlock Holmes would probably be comparing sleuthing skills and wondering why Nancy Drew wasn't joining them and Dr.Watson would probably be being ignored the whole time but make insanely comical remarks and then notice our food had been poisoned and save us all and Misses Piggy would accidentally punch the wrong person in the face, Pascal and Snoopy would be trolling Flynn Rider and that situation would be hilarious in itself, Cookie Monster would be being fed endless amounts of cookies and Flounder and I would have a wonderful little chat about what an amazing and loyal friend he is. <3
9. What is the farthest you've ever been from home? Columbus, Ohio last summer for my older sister's graduation from high school. I'd never even been out of the state of Texas before.
10. What is the deal with love at first sight? Do you believe in it? Why do you think society is so obsessed with it? I think society is just infatuated with the idea of love and focus too much on unrealistic ideals such as love at first sight. Every relationship someone enters is a gamble. Love at first sight is a gamble. I think people are obsessed with it and so infatuated with the idea because they want to be right on that first try or right away. It would be really nice to be right as soon as you lay eyes on someone however, the probability of that happening is very unlikely. I think love at first sight is more of a one-sided thing anyways. Most of the time the other person would think of you as just another person until they got to know you. Also, love at first sight technically is impossible because all relationships begin as infatuation. Love is time and effort and commitment and arguing and communicating and agreeing to disagree and not caring about annoying habits and wanting more of that persons flaws and perfections. Love is a lot of work and does not just happen in an instant. Maybe that's another reason people are so infatuated with love at first sight. If you think about it...there are over 7 billion people on the planet. The fact that one person can even find their other half in a lifetime is incredible. The fact that someone could find their other half in a second...that is magic, my friend.
11. What animal do you most look like? Describe the similarities. :) I have always been told I am a monkey. When I was born, I had fuzzy black hair and I looked like a cute fuzzy little monkey baby and then when I was a kid I acted like a monkey. Don't ever ask people what happens when I watch Tarzan...

My questions:

1) What is the air-speed velocity of a swallow? An African swallow? A European swallow?
2) What is the strangest dream you have ever had?
3) What are you thinking about?
4) Lewis Carol is the author of Alice In Wonderland. What is his real name? If you can answer this without using the internet, you are truly awesome.
5) If you were dying and only had about ten minutes left to live, who's face would you want to see last and what would you want them to say to you, if anything?
6) What 5 songs best describe your life? Why?
7) Who is your favorite video game character and what about them do you find most relatable to yourself?
8) What is the oddest thing about yourself?
9) Do you know the muffin man?
10) What is the most enjoyable form of weather to you? Why?
11) Do you ever talk to yourself or inanimate objects? This does not -necessarily- mean you're crazy. Sort of...

Dear ________,

The first thing I would like to say is that you have the BEST nickname ever! I'm jealous. Also, you are such a troll. That's okay though, I'll get you back. Anyhow, here's what I'm going to do...I am going to write you letters from now on that are either  A) Awesome as heck or B) Troll-worthy. Prepare yourself, sir!
On an additional note, I have all of my sketch books and random notes and doodles and so on from when I was a little kid up until now. I'm going to keep them and keep adding to the pile and, one day, when I'm old or something, I'm going to show them to all of my kids and/or grand-kids and so on. It kind of goes with the reason I like the movie "Big Fish". You see, at the end, the narrator explains that his father will live on through his exaggerated  tales that he told over and over again. I think that is so magical! I don't want to live forever; I want the memory of who I was to live on forever. It's kind of like becoming a legend or an "old folk's tale"; except true. Maybe with some exaggeration but at least people will know I was real and maybe, just maybe, they'll think I was wonderful.
So, I've become a bit infatuated with this idea and started saving everything and doing whatever I can to silently document my entire life. If my life becomes really worthwhile, I might write a biography or something. What if I could touch the hearts of even just a few people? Maybe I'm just a dreamer but aren't dreams where all of the beautiful things start in life? It's making them real that's the challenge.
I'm not sure why I'm telling you this. Not that it's a secret but...why should you care, right? Ha, at this point you're probably thinking "Cool story, bro!". Well you know what I say to that? "*gasp* He said my story was cool! And...he called me 'bro'!".

Love,
    Alice-Of-Spaids
