Picture Saturday: For the Win.

"Let's get down to business!" Treskie sings to herself, "And work on....: The blog!"

And that is as far as her paraphrasing is going, because she needs to be brief, be blunt, and begone. (Down to a game night at the neighbors..... to socialize. )

Actually, I quite love the people we're going to socialize with. I just wish
it could be.... earlier. YA KNOW?
Also, I borrowed ^^^^ those movies from my friends, and I am going to
watch them soon, and remedy my uncultured swine-i-ness.


Soooo. This week, I was much better about drawing.

This week, I was an awesome big sister too. *dances* I am not tooting my own horn. I am stating facts. SO THERE. I'm just awesome, that's all there is to it.

Le Picture Number One. 

We have Howl and Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle. (A book, I totally recommend, by the way.) I love them together. =)


Le Picture Number Two.

The little guy doing monkey bars, because who doesn't like monkey bars? (And also because I've been hanging out at parks a lot lately.)


Le Picture Number Three.

The one that encompasses my entire view of mornings.


Le Picture Number Four.

The fairy. 'Nuff said.


Le Picture Number Five.

The dragon sketch I did today at the park. I need to flesh it out and shade it, so this is just the outline.

I will admit, since starting Merlin, every time I think dragon, I feel
the urge to say, "Aaaah DRAGOOON." like Merlin does.
And that concludes the art show for today.

Do join me again next week. 

FIGHT THE FAIRIES!

Literary Dinner Party!

There has been a severe lack of unique  tags in the blogosphere. But when I saw this over at Cat's blog, I  actually  wanted  to do it! It's coolio! It's a tag in which you plan a dinner party.

But here's the awesome: The guests are all characters from your favorite books!

Isn't that so cool? I mean wow!  I wouldn't have thought of that. :)

Alrighty, here are the questions.

1.) One character who likes to cook.
     Rosalind, from The Penderwicks. She's a sweetheart, and I think it would be good for her to get out.


2. One character who has money to fund the party.    I'm going to say..... HALE!!  Sure, maybe he's a bit of a thief.... and he did  bungle up a con job in Barcelona.... (even though everyone agreed that the distraction monkey seemed perfectly well trained at the time.....) But he's funny, and I like him.

If you don't know who he is, you go to the library right now, and check out Heist Society.


3. One character who might cause a scene.
    Howl. Howl would definitely cause a scene. Either with his-- and I quote-- "dazzling smile", or his green slime... or he might turn himself into a two year old and go around lisping about his "terrible childhood."


4. One character who is funny/amusing.
    Peaceable Drummond Sherwood from the Sherwood Ring. He's.... kind of an outlaw. He says things like, "How marvelous a thing, is the truth, properly manipulated!"
   What can I say? I like an outlaw.


5. One character who is super social/popular.
    Gabrielle, from Heist Society. She's pretty, blond, and extreeeemely social. She totters around in high heels and cons people. :) She grows on you.

6. One villain.
    Julian Verrers, from The Masterful Monk. He's awful. He's.... malicious and hateful, he hates God and kills people!

7. One couple (doesn't have to be romantic).
    James and Lark. They're adorable don't even really fall in love until the end of the book, and it's cute. They would bring a lot of banter to the table.


8. One hero/heroine.
    Oh..... *Treskie mentally tries sort out all her heroes* Well.... Paul Gray, from Last Crescendo is awesome. Like brilliantly, wonderfully awesome.... I decided that when I get married, I wanted to name my son Paul, after reading that book.

9. One under-appreciated character.
    Martitia Howland from They Loved to Laugh. (If you like Eight Cousins, you'll probably like this book. I personally liked it a little better, but... that's me.)


10. One character of your own choosing.
      I'm going to go all fangirly here and say, either Percy Jackson, because he's friggen awesome, and I love him. And he really does get cooler in every book. Son of Neptune, anyone? Yeeeaah. (You know I love someone when I draw pictures of them....)


      Or Christopher Chant in Conrad's Fate. He's.... hilarious.


      I have a thing for hilarious people. I like them better than boring ones. Huh. weird.


Hehehe, This was fun. It was hard, but it was fun. And seriously, who wouldn't dream of having a dinner party with all their favorite book characters at it!?

If you do this tag, let me know! I want to check out your post.

Cheers and God bless!
