I was tagged by Ginger to take place in those blog answer question thingies! (VERY articulate, I know...)
So naturally, I'm doing it, partly because I can't fall asleep, and also because I like the questions!!


so, here are the Rules:

1) post these rules.
2) post 11 random things about yourself.
3) answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post.
4) create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5) go to their blog and tell them they've been tagged.
6) no cop-outs in the tagging section like “if you are reading this/follow me,” blah blah blah. you have to legitimately tag people.

11Random things about myself:

1. I am in love with Harry Potter. Dan Radcliffe is my future husby.
2. I use the word 'husby'.
3. When Zooey Deschanel (New Girl, (500) Days of Summer) and Ben Gibbard split up, I couldn't listen to Death Cab for Cutie for about a month.
4. Because Emily Deschanel recently started tweeting, I have been squealing. A lot.
5. Eleanor Roosevelt is one of my biggest idols. 
6. My favorite color is purple.
7. I occasionally sleep with my stuffed toys.
8. I love answering questions on Jeopardy

10. I am secretly in love with Alan Rickman.
11. I HATE school.

Ginger's Questions

1) Chocolate or vanilla?

 Chocolate. I honestly don't think there's such a thing as too much chocolate. Chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, chocolate bars... ooh, except maybe chocolate on fish, like that crazy Chef Robert Bourdain did once... heck to the no.

2) Where were you on 9/11?

9/11... Well... I was pretty young, say four years old? And at the time I was still living in Colombia. I was at nursery school in Colombia. Or in the car with my mom. Either way I had no idea of what was happening, and I was FAR away from all that.

3) How long have you been living in your current town for?

I have been here for... two years. Yes, two years in a couple of days... whoa, time flies!!

4) Have you ever fallen out with a friend and literally neverspoken to them again?

Yes, I have, actually!! That was in the fourth grade, before moving to the US. My best friends and I had a horrible falling-out, and I never saw them again because I moved. They chatted me up on Facebook, years later, though, does that still count?

5) Do you bring a re-fillable flask with you everywhere you go or do you buy new bottles?

I usually use a re-usable bottle. However, my favorite one broke a couple of days ago, so I have been using the throw-away ones. See, I was on the climbing machine at the gym, and the bottle fell, and the top snapped right off. The water was guzzling out. It was rather sad...

6) If you had kids, what names would you definitely not name them no matter what you were bribed with?

My dad wanted to name me after Ancient Greek philosophers, whose names sound simply horrific in spanish, so those names would be out of the question... the question should really be what would I not name them... right now Joy, Frances, Maude, Sophia, and Hermione are at the top of my Faves' List. I suppose, that something like Candi or Candy or Traci or something really obnoxious-sounding would be last on the list. 

7) In primary/elementary school, were you the kind of who told tales, was told about or stayed out of it altogether?

I was (am) extremely shy/antisocial, so I stayed out of it. Also, I wasn't included in all that, so that kind of answers it, I think.

8) Have you ever swum in the ocean, not a lake or stream, but the actual ocean?

Yes, I have. I don't really like it, because you end up with sand in places that sand should not be. Also, I always end up thinking that some kind of animal is going to come up out of the sand and eat me or something. Clearly, I have got issues with that.

9) On an Easter rabbit, do you eat the feet or head first?

The ears!! Always the ears, for some strange reason!! I guess it must be my fascination with them.... especially on animals that fall under the categories of 'cute' and 'cuddly'.

10) If you were to choose to either study Art or Science, which would you choose? Why?

That is something I have been asking myself a lot lately. In school we have to do three years of Science, and Two of Art, and there are SO many options, it drives me mad!! I love science, because it is very prescise, and incredibly interesting, especially the social side of it, like anthropology, archaeology, psychology, linguistics, etc. However, Art has been a fascination of mine since I was a 'wee little thing;! Art history, especially. Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, Frida Kahlo. All of those are favorites of mine! If I had to choose a college major right now (thank goodness, I still have two-three years!!) I would go with Archaeology (aka Physical Anthropology) and maybe Psych. 

11) What colour ink do you prefer to write with?

It depends on my mood, really. If I'm feeling serious, I write with black. If I'm feeling fancy, I write with purple. If I'm feeling girly, I write with pink. 

Now, my darlings, I shall write down eleven questions, and you [whoever I tag] will have to answer them.

1. Have you ever been obsessed with anything? Like, a TV show, or a movie?
2. Assuming you have, indeed, been obsessed with anything, what do you think it was you found attractive? What drew you in?
3. If you could meet anyone, who would it be? Why?
4. If you could time-travel, when (or where) would you go? Why? Because of the clothes? Because Elvis is cool? Oh, I know. Is it because The Doctor dragged you along in the Tardis?
5. If you have ever had a crush, have you let him (or her) know you like them? How did they react?
6. What are your favorite websites? are they incredibly awesome?
7. Who is your favorite singer/performer person? Why do you like them? 
8. If you could only eat one kind of food (i.e: French food, or Chinese food) for the rest of your life, what would it be? How about one specific dish (ie: Poison au Vin)?
9. What's your favorite subject in school? If it is math, I HATE YOU. (not really, I just suck at it.)
10. What's one place you're dying to visit?
11. What's one good piece of advice/quote that has stuck in your mind for like, forever? Whose is it?

So I have tagged
