Questions and factses and more questions, oh my!

Hallo, World!!

Jack the Awesome of However Improbable has given me an award. I'm fairly certain it's the Liebster, but I don't know for shizzle :)

Le Rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their site. (THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!)

2. Post 11 random things about yourself. (That is so  much!)
3. Answer 11 questions from the person who tagged you. (Jack's questions are always fun)
4. Ask the people you tag 11 questions. (Making up my own is harder)
5. Nominate 11 other blogs. (I'll see what I can do.)

Le Facts:

1.) I DO have a fun movie/youtube videos post planned. Prepare for the awesome. 

2.) I have decided to put off learning how to drive until summer. *sniffle*

3.) It irritates me when people say "I can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious backwards." Because dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupes is NOT supercalifragilisticexpialidocious  backwards, it's just saying it mixed up. Hehehehe. 

4.) I am watching Tintin right now! Join me, friends, in a rousing jig of happiness.

5.) Ginger Sesame Chicken is my most favoritest meal to make. 

6.) I make a killer peanut butter and banana smoothie. So much yum!

9.) I LOVE baseball. 

10.) Tintin's flat just got broken into!!!!

11.) I love puns. Puns are so funny. Here's one to irritate your family with:

       What did the peanut say to the walnut? 

       I'll cashew later!

       Bahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

1. The Doctor shows up and asks you to be his companion at the same time Sherlock asks you to be his blogger. Who'd you pick?
     Gosh. Um.... Pro'lly the Doctor. 'Specially if it was Eleven. Sherlock already has a blogger, and I wouldn't be able to handle Sherlock's snarkiness. I love Sherlock and all, but my self-confidence is easily shattered, and I would be in a perpetual state of awkwardness around Our Favorite Consulting Detective.

2. In the great Clara debate, who do YOU think she is. (And if you don't know who Clara is...I've two words for you. No, three. Watch Doctor Who.)
     Uh.... Clara.

     I'm not hugely fond of Clara. So I didn't exactly delve into theories of how she's appeared three times in three different timelines so far. (Don't get me wrong, I do  like Clara, but I've only see three episodes, and one was the Asylum of the Daleks.... so I don't know her well yet. And so far, something about her rubs me the wrong way.)  ANYhoo, back to the question.... um. I have no theory. I shall think about it. But I'm really liking Bella's idea. 

3. You're falling off a building, which Avenger do you want to save you?
     I'm making an effort here and actually choose. (Cheer me on, people, cheer me on.) I'm going to say Iron Man, because I want to know what flying feels like. (I would be one hundred percent, gurglingly happy if Captain America or Hawkeye saved me, though. Those three are my absolute favorite heroes. I can't decide which one of them I like more.)

4. Would you go for a ride in a cold, hot air balloon?
    Uuuuuuuuhhhh. Scared of heights. Howevers! If someone fun and hilarious came with me, I'd say yeah.

5. Does your wardrobe lead to Narnia?
    No. And believe me, I've checked. The only wood back there is the back of the wardrobe. *sigh* I shall be speaking to Digory about that.

6. You meet an Alien who is about to kill you. Do you offer him a Jelly Baby or run?
     Probably run. Or make a high pitched noise and put my epic kickboxing skillz to work. Like, "HIIIIIYAA!" *KickBOOM*

7. If your best friend faked his death to save your life, then popped up a year later to inform you he was still alive, would you faint or punch him?
     Punch him. And cry. 

8. Buttered popcorn or plain?
    Buttered and salted with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, please.

9. Have you ever had a flip phone in your position and wished to yell, "Beam me up, Scotty!" into it?
     Jack, thank you for this question. YES!!! I have actually done  it! My daddy laughed.

10. What is your favouritest book?
      Current favouritest? Or favouritest of all time? I don't have a favouritest of all time, too many. However, I'm reading The Thief right now, and so far is pretty freaking awesome, so I'm going with that one. :)

11. It is raining, do you go for a walk in it or sit by the fire with hot chocolate and a good book?

      Sit by the fire with a book and hot chocolate. With Josh Groban singing in the background and an evening of Doctor Who following.

That's all for the tagging thing. I need to catch up on blogging, but I honestly am pretty busy, so I don't know how often posting shall be.

Great snakes! Look at the time!

Byeeeee.

Picture Saturday-- Doodles

It's been a while since I've done one of these hasn't it?

To be honest, I haven't been drawing much. Sometimes I try to draw and the pictures all turn out badly and disproportionate. Upon which I look with despair at the artwork in front of me and think, "I should give up. This is pointless. I'm not an illustrator. I'm not an artist."

But that's stupid of me. Sure, I'm not as good as other people, and sure, sometimes my drawings are pretty awful. But I love it and I'm going to keep going with it, even if I never become anything more than a blogger who posts pictures. :)

Captain Haddock says it brilliantly, I think. :)

So here. A doodle page I did when I was staying with my sister. 

Now, here's the thing. ^ She was not supposed to turn out as River Song! I just wanted to do a sassy gunslinger. *cough* But I've been sort of over dosing on Doctor Who lately. And she just went from sassy, to curly haired, to a jean jacket and then I was like, "Heck. I'll just draw River."

Hehehehehehehehe! Too much DW? Prolly. 

But I drew that without the use of a reference picture. 

I'm rather proud. 

Cheers!

Random thoughts

The Sierras have numerous lakes speckling the mountain sides.

Yesterday we went on a hike. 

There was one heck of a view. 

My mood at this time: Sort of.... melancholy. Like...... I think I might need to go use that punching bag which is currently standing in the closet of my bedroom.

Currently loving: Allied P.O.W.s during WWII. I think I will end up doing a post on them sometime in the near-ish future. They are awesome.

Currently reading: Just finished Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. She was a brilliant author and I love her books. The Colditz Story by P. R. Reid, and Moonless Night by Jimmy James. They are incredible books which will be included in my P.O.W post. :)

Currently watching: Doctor Who, Remington Steele (only the clean ones, the later seasons can get a little.... not clean.) Hogan's Heroes, Tintin, and the Avengers. We watch a lot of movies/TV shows.

Currently listening to: Les Miserables musical, the Clancy Brothers, the Script's Hall of Fame, and Awake by Josh Groban.

                      

Currently planning: To go and take pictures of leaf trees. Lots of pictures. Maybe have a photo-shoot.
I also really want to find more time to draw, I've been super busy.
I want to watch The Great Escape again.
I want to write some more in my W.I.P.
I must find a way to make my school research paper as epic as I want it to be.
I should wash our doggeh, Sam.

That's all for today peoples! :)

God bless,

Treskie
