Treskie out.

*Excited Treskie Screech*

Guys.

Guys. 

GUYS.

GUYS. 

GUYS.

100 followers! 

You know what this means, right?

Giveaway! 

*Treskie throws chocolate cake, and M&Ms, and Snickers, and kisses, and other deliciously unhealthy snacks at you*

I am so excited! 

So, because I am excited, let's do this giveaway!

When I mentioned giving away a custom drawing a few posts ago, everyone seemed to flip out and be very happy about that idea, so I think I shall do that.

SO The prize of this giveaway will be a custom drawing, black and white, or colored,* of whatever you'd like me to draw. Fanart, character sketch, you name it, it's yours. I can be as detailed or vague as you'd like, it is up to YOU.

*whichever you'd rather.

In case you're new here and you don't really know what my drawings look like, here is a really quick sketchy I did the other day during a break in our voice class. (Yes, those are notes at the bottom.)

To enter, I'm going to keep as simple as possible, because I hate it when people are like elitists when they do a giveaway, like, "You must follow me on every social media I have, you must comment on every post I've ever written, you must write an entire post dedicated to how awesome I am, you must be a certain age, you must be from a certain country, sign this contract, sell your soul...."

Like really?

So I'm just going to have a few rules.

*You must follow Occasional Randomness with Google Friend Connect. 

*Comment on this post to enter. 

That is all that is required.

If you'd like to enter more than once (which will increase your chances of winning.)

*Share this on a social media thing, (pinterest, facebook, tumblr, twitter, instagram, your blog) and comment the link to it on this post.
*Every time you share it and comment the link, it will enter you again.
*There is no limit to how many times you can share it. 
*If you can think of another way to enter let me know and I'll add it.

I WILL CHOOSE THE WINNER A WEEK FROM TODAY, ON MAY 12TH

ALRIGHT GO!*

*Go now! Go now and leave meeeeeeee!**

**You get that, you can count it as an entry, just let me know what it's from, and I'll add you twice. 

I love you all!

Treskie out.

Let's have a quote-off!

So, I had a brilliant idea.

And I went to Amy with this idea.

"Amy!" said I, "We should vlog again. Vlogging is fun."

"Nooo." said she, "I make a fool of myself when we vlog."

"Yes you do," I said, "I'll get the camera."

............................

So we did.

Kudos if you know even half the movies we quoted.

Brownies for those who catch the random quotes that we threw in there between movies.

Pie for those who got every single reference.

I can't believe I forgot to post about this before! But Rachel is having an epic beautifully British/Doctor Who giveaway that... ends tonight.

I want to win it.

Or more specifically:

That. ^^^ I want to win that.

I feel bad, not posting earlier.

But yeah. Go check it out.

Cheers and God bless, y'all.

FIGHT THE FAIRIES!

Dance like there's nobody watching....

Or maybe just.... like they're not going to film it and put it on youtube behind your back?

Hehe!

Because of the extreme lack of boys in my family, and the fact that I don't know any boys really, I don't actually know how to dance. I barely even know the freaking basics. Seriously!  So dance music comes on and (provided I'm very alone) my dancing ends up looking something like this:

This song always makes me want to start prancing around like a fool. It's so fun and hilarious. :)

And now I must get to mentioning some giveaways....

Firstly, Caitria is doing a spectacularly awesome and geeky giveaway which I want to win... so go visit her blog and check it out.

And secondly, Bella is also having a giveaway, which is also spectacularly awesome and geeky, so you should check hers out too.

All you  have to do to enter hers is do this tag and leaver her a comment with a link to it. Voila!

IT'S NOT OUT. 

IT SHOULD BE OUT.

I'M GOING TO DIE OF OLD AGE BEFORE IT COMES OUT!!!!!

Seriously. The Fandom's going crazy.

A giveaway and other things of meager importance!

So. 

I'm back!

Right, I've been meaning do this for a while, but it completely slipped my mind. 

Hilda is having a giveaway over at her blog! And it is a fun giveaway. And y'all should enter it. Soon. Enter it soon, because you'd win this:

and this:

Both of which would be fun to own, would they not?

Anyway, to enter, one must answer the questions below. (there are other ways to enter, if you follow the above link.)

QUESTIONS:

1.) If you could spy without being seen, which celebrity would you spy on?

     You know, honestly? I don't think I would.... I sort of stalk all my favorite celebrities online, but other than that, honest-to-goodness spying on them seems a liiiittle bit creepy. 

2.) What would you do if you teleported over to your celeb's house?

     Probably freak out.

 Maybe hyperventilate a little.

 Eh... Maybe if I was feeling like.... super brave....

3.) Would you lend your magical ring to someone else? Who?

     Probably one of my sisters or my best friend. 

4.) Would you spy on your crush and friends?

     No! No no no. That's not me at all. I feel bad eavesdropping

5.) Would you tell anyone of your secret (magical ring) ?

     A magical ring? A... ring... of power? *cue Lord of the Rings music*

You know, to be honest, I don't think I'd be able to keep the secret. I'd be like, "LOOK AT THIS RING!"

6) What would you wish for?

    Hmm... Maybe to be less of an introvert. 

7.) Finally, why would you like to win this giveaway? Be honest. ;)

     Books, my dear Hilda, are always a lovely thing. Indeed. I would like to win. 

Right, on to the things of meager importance. 

Kat, Amy, my mom, and I all went out shopping today. (World Market, thrift stores, Michaels, Barne&freakingNoble.....)

And I got books. 

I got I'd Tell You I Love You but then I'd Have to Kill You, which is the first book of the Gallagher Girls series. (seriously, a must read series. So funny and clever.)

And I also got a beautiful copy of The Virginian, which is a really good book that... I surprised myself by thoroughly enjoying. 

Both of those were at the thrift store for insanely good prices. 

And then we went to B&N, and I saw the newly released last book of the Gallagher Girls series. I had a minor freak out moment, because I've sort of been dying to know what the heck happens. 

So I bought it. 

And I regret nothing. 

Seriously, if you've never read the Gallagher Girls, you're really missing out. 

And now that I have bored you all silly. 

I shall bid you all a very fond farewell. 

Cheers!

Just a quickie---

Firstly! Just wanted to let you know that my letter is up on Pandy's blog! I must apologize for taking such a jolly long time to get it written and sent. I got busy and forgot about it. I'm being sheepish right now. =) If you are new here, (hi, you new followers! *waves*) and you want to get caught up on the game, you can get the first letter here.

Secondly! Remember that Hunger Games giveaway I was sort of obsessed with? I FREAKING WON IT!!!  *boing, boing, boing, boing, boing* I've never won a giveaway before! There will definitely be pictures uploaded when it arrives.

Thirdly! Do you like my new header? Do you huh? Huh? Huh?

And now I must go. I'm really busy lately. Methinks I must work on a particularly nice post to make up for the "here I am and now I'm gone!" ones that I've been doing lately.

Cheers and God bless!

~Treskie

And then I made a squeaky sound of happiness.

It's weird. I've been gone for a bit and then BOOM! Two posts in two days! This is unheard of  for me.

Well, maybe not unheard of, but extremely rare. 

I found out that there is a most frabjously awesome blog party and giveaway at The Golden Road. And when I say.... frabjously awesome, I mean it. 

source

Look at what she's giving away!

How cool is that!?

I really, really want those. So much. 

Ahem, anyway. So I'm going to answer the questions from the bloggy party now. 

1.) What was your first impression of the Sherlock series?
     One of absolute love. My sister brought home the first season and I loved the characters, I loved the atmosphere, and I loved how they  managed to update it without it losing the feel  of Sherlock Holmes.

2.) What is your favourite episode? Why?
     Uhhh. That's hard. I like most of them the same... maybe I like The Great Game, The Hounds of the Baskervilles, and The Reichenbach Fall a little, tiny, infinitesimal amount more.  

3.) Who is your favourite character? Why? (It's okay if you can't answer because I surely could not. Just try to narrow it down.)
     John and Sherlock are the best. Sherlock because, as Lestrade says, "He's a good man" and he is, essentially. And John because he's.... just John. He's loyal, brave, kind, and brings Sherlock down a notch occasionally.
     And then Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, and Molly are equal seconds. :) If you know me at all, you know that I have the hardest time deciding. I'm usually that annoying person who does the whole, "What do you want?" me: "It's up to you. I'm good either way." so yeah. Can't decide between the bestest characters.

4.) What is one of your favourite quotes from the movie?
     "I was a soldier! I killed  people!"

     "I always hear 'punch me in the face' when you're speaking, but it's usually subtext."

     "Anderson, don't talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street."

source

5.) Describe the episode The Reichenbach Fall in three words.
     So. Many. Feels.

     or

     So. Many. Tears. 

     or.

     JOHN! SHERLOCK! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

source

     or

     I hate Moriarty.

     or

     Moriarty must die. (oh wait.....)

     or!

     Where's. Series. Three?

6.) Who would you rather be friends with, Sherlock or Watson?
     Um... John. Don't get me wrong, I really, really love Sherlock, but John seems more my type. Sherlock is so unaware of the effects his words have.

source

7.) Which character do you think you are most like? Why?

     Hm. My sister says I'm a mix of Molly and the nice side of Sally. (but I can't think of a nice side of Sally. I'll take her word for it. *wink*)

8.) Rank BBC Sherlock amongst your other favourite shows. (How does it compare to other shows you watch? Which do you like better?)
     Sherlock is kind of in its own genre. It's not like any detective show I've seen... I have like... five favorite TV shows. I have Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, Leverage, and Hogan's Heroes, which are my favorites. But it's hard to rank Sherlock. 

     It's just Sherlock, you know?

     It doesn't really rank. 

     It's one of my five favorites. 

     So it's awesome. 

     So there!

9.) If you could spend the day with one of the actors from Sherlock, who would it be?

     Ugh! Who came up with these questions!? Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman obviously. But then... Lestrade and Mrs. Hudson would be fun too. 

source

10.) What is your absolute favourite scene of the series?
       STOP MAKING ME CHOOSE! Sheeesh. Um... let's see. Let's just pick favorite scenes from every episode. 

       1.) Study in Pink - The scene where Sherlock does his whole spiel about serial killers and how much he loves them... and then he leaves and Watson goes, "DARN my leg--sorry. sorry. I am so sorry."

       2.) The Blind Banker - Where Sherlock comes and saves John and Sarah.. "How would you describe me, John? Resourceful? Dynamic? Enigmatic?" and John: "Late?" (I was really impressed with the way Martin Freeman acted the bit where the nasty Chinese woman had the gun to his head. It was realistic. He was so brave.)

      3.) The Great Game - Oh you know. The scene at the pool. Duh.

source

      4.) A Scandal in Belgravia - Probably the part where John punches Sherlock and then has him in a choke hold. *grin*

source

And OH OH OH! The part where Sherlock rescues Mrs. Hudson. 

You just don't  hurt Mrs. Hudson.

source

      5.) The Hounds of the Baskervilles - I just loved that whole episode. But the "Thank you for smoking" bit had me in a fit of chuckles. 

      6.) The Reichenbach Fall - No. Just no. I liked the part where John loses it and is like, "No you're NOT! You're MORIARY! You tried to kill me!" And the whole end sequence, however much I hated it, was brilliantly filmed and acted. 

And there you have it. I'd tell you to enter the giveaway, but I know that the more entries there are the less likely I am to win it. So.... don't enter. Haha! Just kidding. Go ahead. No don't! No, really, it's okay. Actually not! Don't! Ah! I'm conflicted.

I know, I know. Creepy. :)

Bye!
