I would like to thank buddy2blogger for the award. It is very much appreciated!
The rules are I have to post eleven things about myself, answer buddy2blogger's questions, post my own eleven questions, and finally provide links to my nominees. Well, Allons-y!
Eleven Things About Myself
- I am quite fond of things that originated from England, such as Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who, and Harry Potter. I would love to visit that country someday.
- I have a fondness for hats, and hope to get a great collection of interesting ones. (My favorite one I own is this black derby I've had for three years)
- Sometimes I worry that I use the world "I" in conversation too much.
- I believe that people should always keep a little, healthy bit of immaturity about them.
- I believe I may have a little bit of OCD. Of course, it's only a self-diagnosis, but I think I have some of the symptoms.
- My dream in life is to write and draw my own comic book.
- I dislike swearing and cussing. I can handle a little bit, but once it gets past a certain point...
- My three favorite video games are the Kingdom Hearts series, Guitar Hero games, and The Sims 3
- My favorite genres are Science Fiction, Action/Adventure, Fantasy, and Comedy.
- I love music. I listen to an eclectic mix of music, but I typically like Alternative Rock (though I am growing to appreciate and listen to instrumental soundtracks, and I've rediscovered ska).
- Speaking is not my forte. In fact, I have a speech impediment of sorts, and often rush my words.
- What has been the greatest moment in your life so far? It's hard to say. Nothing too big's happened, and I've had a lot of great moments. For now, I'm going with when TV Tropes mentioned one of my comments on their page for (the blog) The Half-World. Specifically, saying it was a Crown Moment of Funny. Because 1) I would love to have a page on TV Tropes for something I've made one day, and 2) Because I'm the only other person (for now) besides Skepkitty (the girl in-charge of the blog) to get one, so it made me feel good that some "Troper" thought I was as funny as Skep at least once. It was a pretty nice compliment.
- Who (other than your parents) have been a source of inspiration to you? Multiple people are inspirations to me. I'm inspired by Stan Lee and the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, because both created characters (Lee creating a good majority of Marvel Comics's characters, Conan Doyle creating Sherlock Holmes) that have stood the test of time and are still beloved (something I wish to achieve). Neil Gaiman inspires me because he writes so many things, and different ones, too (comics/graphic novels, books, short stories, and screenplays), another thing I wish to do. And Andy Warhol inspires me a bit, too, because he also did more than just paint. And he really didn't care what others thought of him.
- Are you an extrovert who loves partying and hanging out or more of an introverted person? I am most certainly an introverted person.
- Who is your favorite movie director and what is the latest movie of his/hers you have seen? Another tough one. I'd say Joss Whedon because he directed one of my favorite movies this year, The Avengers... but then again I haven't really watched anything else of his yet. On the other hand, Guy Ritchie directed the recent Sherlock Holmes movies (two of my favorites)... but, again, I haven't seen anything else of his, either. So, long story short, it's either Whedon (The Avengers) or Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows).
- What news channel/newspaper do you watch/read to get the latest news? Sadly, I don't really watch the news that much or read the paper. But I do check the news feeds on my computer and occasionally listen to whatever channel's on if there's news. But I guess I've been listening to NBC quite a bit recently...
- Name some of your favorite hobbies I love listening to music, writing, drawing, and surfing the Internet.
- Has becoming a blogger had any impact on your life so far? If yes, in what way(s)? Not in any MAJOR way, but it has introduced me to some people (albeit indirectly) I enjoy, and it lets me get some of my thoughts out on things I know people I've friended on Facebook could care less about.
- Who is your favorite author(s)? J.K. Rowling, Heather Brewer, Rick Riodan, Neil Gaiman, James Patterson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jack Heath.
- If there was one thing you want to change about yourself, what would that be? My ability to stay focused on my goals. I'll MAKE plans, but I procrastinate/forget them (it's part of the reason I haven't posted this sooner). I don't want to get so easily distract... oh, lookie, a picture of the Sherlock characters as My Little Pony ponies! I'm gonna find more! :P
- Which actor would you cast to play Sherlock Holmes and why? Hmm... Christopher Eccleston. I think he's a very good actor, and he played my favorite incarnation of The Doctor. Plus, he's going to be the villain in Thor: The Dark World, so playing Sherlock would be one of many things that would just max out how cool he is to me.
- Do you believe in the existence of aliens and UFOs? Yes. I think it's possible. It's a big universe; we can't just be the only planet that has life.
- If you could meet any two people (one living, one dead), who would you choose and why?
- What is one piece of technology you positively CAN'T be without?
- What is your favorite piece of clothing?
- What is your favorite TV show? Why?
- If you could have any profession (besides whatever one you may have now), what would it be?
- Do you have bizarre dreams, or are they pretty mundane/"normal"?
- Which fictional character would you most like to be dragged along with on an adventure?
- What book (or show/comic/etc.) would you like to see made into a movie, and who would you want to direct it and star as the main character?
- If you could have one (fictional) object, what would it be and why?
- What was your favorite movie you've watched recently?
- Who is your favorite (fictional) villain and why?
