The Text Tag




Thank you so much to the wonderful Adi for tagging me in this!
Rules:
-Thank the person who nominated you and provide a link back to their blog
-answer the original 6 questions
-add a typography/word related question of your own for the people you tagged to answer
-tag 6 other bloggers and let them know
-include these rules in your post


_        _        _


What is your favorite letter of the alphabet?
probably J 

What are three words that you love?
'stoked' and 'aspire' and 'meliorism' and 'quest' and 'universe' and 'timid' and so many other things, I don't know how I could be expected to limit myself to just three

What are three words that you hate?
slut, moist, and entrepreneur, purely because I couldn't spell it to save my life and it frustrates me to no end

If you were to create a word, what would it be, and what would it describe?
something to explain the feeling of flying over the ocean at sunset. I've yet to find a word that completely describes how calming it is to watch the clouds turn red and the ocean glow pink and the whole airplane fill with a golden glow, it's unreal

I also don't think we have enough words in the English vocabulary to describe all of the things that are different kinds of beautiful, so that's another thing to work on

What are your three favorite punctuation marks?
+, &, and I feel like the interrobang symbol and I would get along well
‽ I mean?? that is my mood 24/7

What are three of your favorite fonts?
Consolas, quicksand, and geo sans light


Question from Adaline: what is your favorite quote/most beautiful thing you've ever heard or read?
I don't think I could ever really choose a specific quote really. I absolutely love everything that Dallas Clayton, Ryan O'Neal, and Keaton Henson come up with, and honestly I could fall in love with a single word just because of its definition or how it rolls off your tongue.
So here are just a small handful of the things I've fallen in love with over time

"But this is my body, the only thing that I own entirely, and it will carry me to greatness somehow." -Ginger, The Front Bottoms (this line feels like a battle cry and it gives me so much hope)

this

"You are a vessel of roses, and you won't always be in bloom, but I promise the frost never stays for long." -(x)

"If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning." -Vincent Van Gogh

"The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present." -Welcome to Night Vale

"Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Do not be afraid." -I honestly have no clue, I'll add it later if I find out (EDIT: it was Frederick Buechner)

"We're driving toward the morning sun where all your blood is washed away and all you did will be undone." -Taxi Cab, TOP 



the funny thing is, there have been single lines on the internet that I've read that have broken me more than any book from any profession author ever could. I might make a whole post on those later. 


_        _        _


I tag
(if you don't want to do it/have already done it and I'm just dumb, you totally don't have to either)

my addition to the questions:
If you had the choice to have the writing style of one of your favorite authors, who would you choose?

I think that's all I need to do? I always feel like I'm missing something whenever I finish these, I don't know why, but thank you so much again to Adi for tagging me, this was really cool (even if it took me seven years to get up I'm sorry)
And I hope you all have a good day/week/life, go make something cool or read a wonderful book for me

Happy Little Things


So about seven hundred years ago, quite a few of you (Lauren, AshleyAdalineEllie, Gwen, Maddie, Adelaide) did the happy tag, where you basically just list the things that make you happy, all in different categories, and because I'm a mushy, nostalgic mess, I'm going to do the same. I don't know who originally did this, I'm sorry, if anyone knows if you could let me know that would be great.

From what I've come across, this hasn't been a "be tagged and tag others" tag, so if you feel like diving into a sea of nostalgia and mushy feelings, then by all means, go ahead and spread the joy. It's a really sweet tag, and tends to make people happier.

_        _        _


last night we finally got the keys to the new house my family's moving into, and I got to visit my new room for a while. It's a little smaller than the one I have now, so I'm currently in the process of  getting rid of a lot of old things. So far it's been a little scary, but something about spending some time to visit my new room and get used to it helped a lot. The neighborhood isn't bad; we're at the end of this roundabout surrounded by a bunch of trees. I still get the view of the sunset that I wanted and my window's behind a giant tree in the front so I still feel safe and secluded. I'm still working on getting used to it, but we'll just have to see what happens.

Also, I'm finally on spring break, which has been giving me more time to work on other things other than panicking over deadlines and trying to keep from tossing my textbooks out the window, so that's been great.

I hope you're all doing well! I think I'm finally caught up with most of your blogs (good luck to those of you who still aren't on spring break btw or who don't have it at all, wow) I hope schools been good for you, and that your pets and everything are all doing great.

Maybe one of these days I'll learn how to make an outro to a post without making it awkward

Until my next snack break between Parks and Rec episodes, kids

Blessing In Disguise Award



So recently, the fabulous waterunderthebridge (You MUST go check out her blog btw, it's fantastic and she's uber sweet with a stellar personality and an the best music taste) has created a brand new tag and I was honored to be one of the first blogs nominated for this so wow, um, thank you so much, I was really excited to do this!! ^__^

Rules 'n Such:
1. Copy these rules and the picture above
2. Answer these questions:
                - Who/ What is your biggest inspiration?
                - What is one song that describes you?
                - Is there a message you want to give your followers/readers? If so, what is it?
3. List and explain one goal you have for your life (this can be short-term or long-term)
4. Think of at least three questions to ask your nominee.
5. Nominate at least one other person and explain why you nominated them. What makes them a blessing in disguise?

Questions
1. Who/what is your biggest inspiration?
I'm actually working on a post on this topic in the future, so I can go more in depth on the subject of my heroes and inspirations, but a few of the people that first come to mind is PJ Liguori, Gerard Way, Patrick Stump, Dan Howell, and Megan Jones

2. What is one song that describes you? 
Either Unwell by Matchbox 20 or Oh No by Marina and the Diamonds

3. Is there a message you want to give your followers/readers? If so, what is it?
There are so many things I'd like to say to you all, but one thing I want to say right now to you all is actually based on this one quote; “We tend to forget that baby steps still move you forward.”
So many people right now are beating themselves up because they're having a hard time finding inspiration to post, or just can't find the time, or maybe even have problems in their own lives outside of blogging where they're struggling to move forward. *raises both hands and waves them back and forth, rocking back and forth in chair while yodeling* So listen; just take baby steps. If all it takes to get yourself back up on your feet is just taking one single picture a day, or even just writing about your day to get yourself to post, or just...whatever is going on in your lives, so be it. Just keep moving forward. And you don't have to apologize so often for not posting or whatever. Don't worry, my entire feed is kinda in a posting slump at the moment, and I'm still pulling myself out of my own. 

Questions from Waterunderthebridge
1. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer?
Every year I go out with my family and some of my parents' friends and go boating and bring out the tubes and skies and stuff. I'm not usually an outdoors-y kinda person in the summer, since I have trouble with even a little bit of heat, but playing out on the lake is one of my favorite things ever. 

2. What is your favorite memory?
I have so many memories, this may take me a while. Here's one:
Once upon a time, there was a little girl, about 4-5, who had been spending her entire summer week reading and riding her bike around and was tired of everything. Heading into her dad's art desk in his office where he worked as an artist at the time, she discovered a box of paint she was told to never ever touch. 'Course, she was five, and when you're five, the rules of the universe don't apply to you, so she took them anyway and marched into this one room in her house with wall to wall bookshelves filled with books with a window at the end of the room. Her mom was talking with a friend in another room, and there was no one else with her, so opening the bottles of paints, the girl squeezed the tubes of watercolor all over the ratty rug in the middle of the room, smearing the paint all over. Heading to the end of the room where there was a large window, she painted a mural (or at least she tried) of a river with trees and flowers and birds and animals, with a little angel sitting by the river. The sunlight on the other side of the window shone through the paint, and like the stained glass windows in a church, her mural shone at her feet, and the entire room exploded with color. 
Of course, the aftermath when her mother finished talking with her friend and discovered paint covering every inch of the window and the girl's body wasn't nearly as thrilling, but if you had seen how the colors had illuminated the room, you would've agreed it was totally worth it. xD
And that is the tale of when I had discovered how much I loved art. xD

3. What are your current 3 favorite songs?
*Mitch and Scott voice* "HeresAGoodSongDontListenToAnythingElseToday" 
Right now I'm crying over HeavyDirtySoul by Twenty One Pilots, Let It Go by The Neighborhood, and I just recently rediscovered my love for Two Door Cinema Club and have been crying over Costume Party by them. 

Last thing--What is one goal you have in life, short or long term?
I guess my goal is to create something that changes or helps someone

~     ~     ~

My Questions
In the last year, have you met anyone who's changed you in any way?
What is something you absolutely cannot wait for?
When was the last time you laughed until you cried?

The nominees (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Olivia - Olivia runs not one--but two fantastic blogs, both with super creative and hilarious posts that will make you smile. She has the best obsessions, she's super sweet, and has the coolest gifs ever, so head on over to her blog *shoos you out the door*
Tudda Pudda - Can we just take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of her blog? Tudda Pudda gets an award for one of the the sweetest bloggers in the little blogging community, and for having the best sarcastic answers in her tags. xD (But who's dream car isn't their legs though??)
Leah - Taylor Swift, Harry Potter, Dan and Phil, Percy Jackson, and so much more (need I say more?) Her random, hilarious posts are always something to look forward to, and if you follow, you get a free pack of Chicken McThuggets, SO GO, GO!!

how I feel nominating people

~     ~     ~

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
I'm planning to get another post up in the next couple days, so yay, finally. xD
Thanks so much again to waterunderthebridge, this was really fun, and I can't wait to see everyone's answers to all the questions. :]
UNTIL MY NEXT SNACK BREAK BETWEEN DOCTOR WHO EPISODES

Books & Reading Tag


Thank you so much Jo for tagging me in the Books and Reading Challenge! ^-^
She has a lovely blog, check it out maybe?

Rules
  • You must answer all the questions 
  • Repost the picture with a link to Noors blog and the persons blog who tagged you
  • You may tag people if you would like, but it isn't required.

1. April TBR (To be read)? 
I've been wanting to read We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach, Challenger Deep by Nearl Shusterman, 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher, and Mosquitoland by David Arnold

2. Book (series) you would like to see as a movie?
I don't really have a series I'd like to see as a movie, but Entwined by Heather Dixon I think would be amazing if the producers didn't pull another Percy Jackson on us

3. Overhyped book/author?
*cringes* I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to say The Fault in Our Stars. 
I really love John as an author and as a youtuber, and he's really cool and funny and all, but I honestly preferred his other books to TFIOS.

4. The best book series you will ever read?
DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
One that comes to mind is the Keeper of the Lost Cities series, but I could never pick a favorite.
I could talk about book series for months


5. Book to movie adaption that was really bad?
I just recently had the joy of watching Percy Jackson after hearing how bad it was. 
I'm gonna have to say I agree with all of what I've heard. xD
They tried. 



6. Books that just made you cry?
The thing is, I cry really easily, I could probably cry on the spot if I had to, so there's quite a few of them, but the first book that comes to mind is The Book Thief (I know a few of you understand my pain there)

7. Book you're reading right now? Give it a quick rating. 
Right now I'm reading the Death Note series
10 goats out of 10 

8. A book series that you just didn't like? 
I honestly don't really remember ever not liking a book (at least one I picked out myself) 
In fourth grade I did find the Artemis Fowl books kinda boring.
But that's because I was a butt.
Books are gr8 

9. Book that you haven't read yet, but really need to?
Okay, so for years I've been wanting to read A Series of Unfortunate Events but just never got to it, I promised myself this summer I would read it so wish me luck with that. xD

10. Who is your favourite author of all time?
STAHP.
Honestly though, it's either Shannon Messenger, Rick Riordan because that was the first fandom I'd ever gotten myself into, Shel Silverstein, R.J. Palacio, Rebecca Stead, or Ellen Raskin 

""author""


AND GUESS WHAT
I ACTUALLY HAVE TIME TO TAG PEOPLE HALLELUJAH
Adaline // Kathryn // Charlotte // Emily // Ellie // Leah // Amethyst

I feel so accomplished right now.

Also, you're supposed to switch out the 10th question with your own, so my question is
What's your favorite children's book?
(children's book like a picture book or board book or whatever)

Also, this lovely tag was originated by the lovely Noor
*waves you out the door* she's so creative and her blog is wonderful, so go check it out. xD

~     ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆      ~

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A LOVELY MOTHER'S DAY
(depending on where you live I guess)
AND GO HUG ALL OF YOUR ANIMALS (or your books if you don't have a pet, take ur pick I'm p flexible) FOR ME

When Will My Motivation Return From War




So um
that was a very different definition of 'tomorrow' than I had originally intended

HEY GUYS
Long time no see
I've been around, posting on just about every social media but here, which has been great
I've missed posting here a whole lot, I just didn't have the motivation
BUT I'M BACK SO YAY
I've decided I'm finally going to do the tags that I was nominated for months ago
(I'm so sorry guys)
There's just one thing; I won't be tagging anyone, because 1. I'm not kidding when I say I was nominated months ago, one of these are from January and I don't know why I didn't just get up and do this sooner 2. Because it's been so long, I have no idea who all has done these tags and 3. I don't really have the time right now, because the past few weeks I've been gone, blogging isn't the only thing I've been slacking in and I really need to get things done today so yeah.
If you are bored, you don't have an idea for blogging, or just want to answer some questions, by all means, consider yourself tagged and I'll come up with some questions for you that's really not a problem. xD
I'm going to try and get both tags finished and then try and get back into my regular posting...stuff.
so yeeep

The first tag I was nominated by Polka Dot Bee you should all follow her 
because her blog is adorable and she's super sweet and her photos are amazing (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Rules That I Will Be Breaking I'm Sorry
1. Copy and paste these rules on to your award post.
2. Come up with at least 5 fun questions for your nominees to answer. 
3. Nominate at least 5 people who you think are amazing and have a amazing blog. 
4. List at least 1 reason why you appreciate the people you nominated
5. Put this award on your sidebar of award/tag page if you were nominated
6. Leave a comment on your nominees blog letting them know they've been nominated

Questions
1. What doll do you want to purchase next?
There are plenty I've been obsessing over, but I really would love to get Rebecca
She's adorable and I love her hair. ^-^

2. What is your opinion on Grace Thomas?
She's cute!! Her freckles are adorable and her hair is really cute.
sorry dont have much of an opinion I havent actually seen much of her oops

3. If you were asked by AG to create the next GOTY, what would her personality be and what would she and her collection look like?
Wow okay um
I loved Sonali's curly hair and dark skin, she was adorable, so maybe something similar to her.
And maybe a sporty personality?? I honestly don't know

4. What is your favorite candy? (random question, I know ;) )
Probably Nerds or anything caramel. xD

5. What kind of AG doll do you prefer: MAG, Historical/BeForever, or GOTY?
Either BeForever or GOTY


Ginny and June were sweet enough to nominate me for the New Blogger Award
They're super sweet and talented, if you aren't already following, please check out their blog!!

1. What is your favorite book?
Right now, I'm reading The Book Thief, rereading The Search for WondLa, and just recently got into Death Note thanks to Dan and Phil which are all absolutely AMAZING. 
I don't think I'll ever have a certain favorite book, I have far too many dear to my heart.

2. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Vanilla because I'm boring. xD

3. What profession would you like to pursue when you are older? 
Animation, or something in the animation or art business for sure. 
When I was little, I thought I wanted to be a teacher, up until recently. I still would like to try being a teacher if the whole art thing doesn't work out, but art is something that I could never picture myself giving up.

4. Does your handwriting look better in marker or in pencil? 
Definitely marker. xD
*moment of silence for my terrible handwriting*

5. What does the fox say? 
0:11

6. Swimming or sledding? 
NOOO DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
Probably sledding. xD

7. If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound?
I was going to give a really sarcastic answer to this 
but yes 

8. Why did you start your blog?
I actually went deep down into my blog (its terrifying down there) to find where I had answered this before because I really liked my answer but I can't find it. 
In short, I just wanted a place to let out everything and ramble and talk and just a place where I was free to be whoever I wanted to be.
Never in a million years did I expect to meet some of the sweetest, most talented people ever. 


*sighs* hello old friend. xD
AmericanGirlDolls4Ever has nominated me for the STAHP UR TOO SWEET FOR UR OWN GOOD award; the one and only award I'm still trying to decide whether or not I regret making. xD
nah, look at that picture, it's beautiful. 
Her blog is lovely, along with her adorable photoshoots and stories, check out her blog maybe? ^_^

1. How/Why did you begin blogging?
Answered above ^^ 

2.What is your favorite mix+match doll outfit you own?
This dress I put together for Severihanna is probably my favorite. :]

3. What types of posts do you like to look at best?
I follow so many different blogs, I honestly have no clue. 
I absolutely love photo shoots, no matter what it's of. Crying over art other people have done is one of my favorite hobbies, so I adore those posts. A bunch of random pictures thrown together is always a blast to scroll through. 
Everything that comes up in my feed is so different and creative, and I know I'm horrible at commenting, but I do read every post and absolutely love every one. ^_^


THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE WHO NOMINATED ME <3
I feel horrible for not tagging anyone, really. Like I said, any of you are more than welcome to do any of these, just let me know if you want me to throw together some questions for you. ^_^

~ ~ ~ 

Now to talk about schedules and such.
(this post is so wordy, I'm sorry)
School has been a wreck recently.
Now that we're crawling towards the end of the year, our lessons are harder and there are more tests and end of the semester projects being dumped on us. I've been struggling in school these past few weeks, and am still drowning in more schoolwork than I've ever been. I can't remember ever being this stressed about schoolwork before.
Including this post, I've only posted TWICE this entire month.
Looking back at the times when I used to post at least 4 times a week, this is kind of a disappointment for me. I know you guys don't follow me just for me to sit here and not do anything and not answer your comments for weeks. You guys reading my posts and checking up here means the world to me and I couldn't just ditch the blog like that. 
Over this next month, I may be scheduling posts on here. It's not something I'm thrilled about doing, and this means it might take me even longer to reply to comments, but it's better than not posting at all. 
Really, as I look at my feed, I've been noticing a lot of us are having a hard time posting; whether it's because school or our busy schedules, or even just not having any inspiration.
I really want to get back into posting again, it just might take me some time.

I'LL GET BACK INTO IT THOUGH I PROMISE.
I was just looking at my older posts and things today and realized that my blog is almost a year old and that I have almost 100 posts on here. Think I can make it to 100 posts before my little anniversary? xD

I HOPE YOU'RE ALL DOING WELL. 
AND ALL YOUR PETS AND SIBLINGS AND FANDOMS AND ALL
HAVE A LOVELY DAY FOR ME. <3

EAT LOTS OF PINEAPPLES
DON'T DO DRUGS
AND READ A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR ME

1) Book you wish you could be sucked inside of for at least an hour?
...First question and I'm already stumped. xD 
I'm going to have to say...either The Hobbit or Keeper of the Lost Cities

2) What are you most afraid of?
Either talking in public, doctors/shots (there's a story behind that one)/hospital stuff, or failing school. >__<

3) Character's chapters you did not enjoy reading. And skipped or almost did.
There aren't any chapters alone that I skipped that I can think of, but one book I was going to read and decided to quit altogether was

4) A book you bought brand-new that is now torn because of how much you read it.
So many of my books have been worn down over time from my falling asleep while reading them or just plain me rereading them until they fall apart, but the most worn down ones are probably Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger, Entwined by Heather Dixon, The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt, and Paper Towns by John Green

5) Do you have a certain routine you have to do before you sit down to read a book?
Nah. I guess usually before I read I grab something to eat while I drown in feels, but usually I just pick up a book and get lost in it.

6) Fave animal in 3 seconds? 1-2-3! 
Llamas bc reasons. xD Or birds.

7) Where do you THINK you'll be this time next year?
Hopefully something productive. xD
All jokes aside, this question honestly terrifies me. I do hope to be taking real art classes and getting more serious about writing. I don't know what I'll be doing for school or work or anything really, but above anything else, I want to make art.

8) Pick ONE: Writing, drawing or musical instruments? 
DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
I guess my instruments aren't AS important to me as writing or drawing...
GAH, FINE DRAWING THIS KILLED ME I'M SORRY LITTLE NOTEBOOK.

9) Would you rather, never have to sleep or never have to eat? 
Never have to sleep since I don't sleep anyway. xD

10) And last but not least, if you could un-invent one thing, what would it be?(Whoa, gettin' all serious XD)
I just spent the past ten minutes typing and backspacing various replies to this, all with one thing in common; they all cause pain. 
I can't think of anything specific, since all my previous answers are basically just weapons or drugs or just things that have hurt people in the past, so I guess I'll just say anything that causes pain that doesn't eventually help the person. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH TUDDA PUDDA!! I especially loved your questions. xD
And if the rest of you aren't already following her, you must check out her blog. She's really sweet and her blog is unique and she posts the coolest stuff. So go check it out!! xD

Again, thanks so much to the people who nominated me, and I apologize to the people who I missed. :P
But remember, you still have written permission to get after me in the comments (pls don't hurt me. xD) and I'll gladly add your questions in. xD I've just been a little frazzled and have missed whatever tags have happened in the past month. xD

WWEEELLL HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY REPLIES.
I really really hate to do this, but I'm not nominating anyone for these tags. >_<
If you want to do this, just comment and I'll reply with some questions for you. But like I said, I've been really behind in the tagging world lately and am not positive who all has already been nominated so yeah. Hope you understand.

Otherwise, have a wonderful day everyone. xD
