I am so tired.

I was going to be all clever with this post title...

I was going to have a clever first sentence that popped, like my mom taught me to do with paragraphs.

I was going to be witty and hilarious, and you'd all laugh.

But I'm tired, so that isn't going to happen. 

Alyianna tagged me!

Le Rules:

1. Follow the blog that tagged you (optional).
2. Include two or more pictures that include your favorite characters, books, movies, or lyrics from songs (they can also be your own edits or pictures).
3. Tag five or more bloggers and tell them.
4. Answer the blogger’s ten questions related to characters, books, movies, or lyrics.
5. Create your own questions having to do with the same thing.


Since this is a new tag, that doesn't involve me coming up with eleven random facts about myself, this could be fun. Lalala.


So let's see. Pictures that include my favorite characters, books, movies, or lyrics from songs....


I think Dean and Sam are my all time favorite TV characters.

Quote from Prison Break:

Favoritest lyrics! (Of millions. lol.)

Le Alyianna's Questions:


1. Would you rather be hunted down by Jean Valjean or the Nazgul?
    Well, Jean Valjean isn't as likely to kill me as the Nazgul. I love life and don't want to die. Therefore, I'd rather be hunted down by Jean Valjean.

BUT I COULD KILL A NAZGUL.
BECAUSE!
I AM NO MAN.
I want to kill a Nazgul.  

2. Lumiere or Cogsworth?
    Lumiere! Cogsworth irritates me the teensiest little bit.

3. Which book has been made into a movie but you think it would be better as a TV show?
    Oh, good question! I think the Percy Jackson movie would have been better as a TV show. With different actors. Definitely a different Annabeth. Maybe they would actually keep to the freaking book a little more. CAN I GET AN AMEN? As it was, the movie was a bomb, and how dare it call itself Percy Jackson!?

4. And vice versa (TV show, better as a movie)?
    Mmm. Tricky. You know, I almost think White Collar would have been better as a movie. (Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy White Collar. I like it a lot. But as a movie, I think it would have rocked.)

5. What is one scene from a book that you were extremely disappointed didn't show up in its movie adaptation?
    The part in The Hobbit, where Biblo sings at the spiders!

Lazy Lob and crazy Cob
are weaving webs to wind me.
I am far more sweet than other meat,
but still they cannot find me!
Here am I, naughty little fly;
you are fat and lazy.
You cannot trap me, though you try,
in your cobwebs crazy.

I needed that in the movie. I mean, come on, Peter Jackson added all this other unnecessary stuff and then took some of the really good parts! What's with that!?


 6. The age old question - books or movies?
     Don't ask me that, I can't decide. Totally different. So there.

7. What book do you really want to be made into a movie?

     Oh, several. The Ascendance Trilogy, the Gallagher Girls, Heist Society... But they'd have to be perfectly casted, perfectly adapted, and nothing weird added or subtracted. Basically, not like the Percy Jackson movie adaption. Or the Last Airbender.

Le Questions from moi.

1.) Best book to movie adaption?
2.) Worst book to movie adaption?
3.) Favorite TV show?
4.) Write the refrain of your current favorite song.
5.) Cast the leads of your favorite book. (Use pictures.)
6.) Lyrics you hate?
7.) Pick one of your favorite characters---book, movie, TV show---and list three qualities that drew you to love that character.
8.) What's the book genre you enjoy the most.
9)  The main characters of the last three things you watched are your allies for the zombie apocalypse. Who are they, and who do you think would die first?
10.) What's one quote that you feel best explains your entire personality?



Snerk. Le suckers bloggers I nominate are:

Peace out!

The Grand Opening!

*Deep breath.*

Today is the day I officially open my etsy shop!

I'm super excited to finally have gotten this up, it took a lot longer than I was expecting it to. I had a hard time getting the t-shirts to sell, and when I finally was able to stock up on them... I found out that polyester doesn't bleach.

At all.

I bought $60 worth of nice, fitted, black tees, and not one of them was bleachable because they were all polyester! Who knew black wouldn't bleach? And I'm talking lots of bleach--that shirt was dripping with the stuff. And it didn't even fade. Not even a little.

Anyway!

Before we get started, I have a new page over on the right hand side bar. It will inform you that I am now accepting commissions for drawings that you might like to have me do. Do click it. It will give me great pleasure.

There is now merchandise in my shop, so if you want to go over there and take a look-see, click the link below!

Treskie's Etsy

What you can expect to see in the shop are these:

And copies of my art...

Currently listed:

Custom Made Fandom Maps

Rainy quotes:

Custom drawn character sketches

And custom made paper dolls!

I'm also going to be adding greeting cards which I will have drawn and put together, but because my little shop is only just starting, I'm still working on that.

Go on over, take a look! Spread the word! And if there's anything you think I could improve on, do let me know.

Oh, and if any of you could help me think up a better name for my shop, I could be most grateful. It's just Miscellany right now, and I don't like it much.

My blog is going to be under construction for the next week or so. I want to give it a face lift, so.. bear that in mind. :)

Thank you all for taking the time to read me.... self-promoting.

Cheers and God bless!

Picture Saturday || Le Update

Seeeoooo. Update first, because that's how I roll.

1.) I'm officially going to open my etsy shop on Monday!!!! *screams* You like my art? You like my T-shirts? Stay tuned for the grand opening of me going, "Please, buy my stuff! I wanna go to Disneyland!"

2.) I did not get the job I was interviewed for. (Not surprised, considering I frikken bombed that interview. lol.) Ho hum, oh well, who needs this stress anyway?

3.) ICE CREAM.

So, I have been practicing facial expressions. Because all my faces look like this.

:)

:)

:)

or this

(:

(:

(:

I want more than possessed smileys, thank you very much. Let's just say they all still look like :), so more practice now.

And then we have the "We Are So In Love", that I didn't finish because I was bored and the proportions were wrong.

The "Even More In Love". Hearts and everything!

Coming soon after is the "Trust me, I resemble Annabeth, but less cute."

And last, but not least, the "Go away, I hate you right now."

Actually no, this is the last but not least. My li'l sister drew me Jo and Dean fanart. (all she knows about SPN is what I say about it. And she knows that Dean and Jo were sort of my... SAIL ALL THE WAY... couple.)

Anyway.

People expect bloggers to know what they're doing.

Some of us don't.

Some of us log on to blogger and go, "Eeeh. Dump all the thoughts!"

So yes, I've been blogging for two-and-a-half years, I still have no idea what I'm doing.

This is the part where I sign off, right?

G'night!

Treskie, the Frenchiest Fry

*insert screaming here*

Here is an update on my life. Are you ready for boringness? Yay! I thought I was the only one.

1.) I finished the Dance, Sing, Love picture that I was working on last week. I really like how it turned out. (Never mind that the edges are all funky. They don't look like that in real life... cameras are deceptive.) But it keeps smudging so I'm taking it to Staples to get it laminated. Everyone say "Ooooooooh." I've never done laminating before!

Click for full size!

All the separate parts, in case anyone.... cares. :)

2.) Sammi, Kat, and I, (And Sammi's brother and friends.) went to the Renaissance Faire on Saturday, and it was so much fun. I wasn't expecting to have that great of a time, (because... people.) but it was really nice. Next year I'm gonna dress up. Period.

Le Sammi and Kat

Le me and Sammi

Le boys who were tricked onto the rack.
They were not happy.

Le Kat and Sam

Le duel

Le pirate hat

Le Spencer with this new hatchet

Le Green Knight

Le Sign that made me wonder how many people
gnawed on the rope before they deemed it necessary
to tell us not to.

Le me and Sammi

It was delightful.

3.) I have a freaking job interview tomorrow. Can we all take a moment and appreciate how terrified I am? *takes moment* Thank  you! Please pray that it goes well. 'Cause I'm not going to lie, I'm stressing out.

The snake is the interview.
I'm Dean.

I love you all!

FIGHT THE FAIRIES! (and the panic)

"A Test of Loyalty" cover reveal!

I need to post more than once a week.

I realize this and shall attempt to be better about it.

Anyway.

Today is the cover reveal for Jack's new book!

*happy dance*

More happy dances!

Alright enough of that madness.

Look at this awesome cover!!

 

A Test of Loyalty

 

Upon learning he is one of the sons of the now dead king, Prince Lachlan is forced to leave the only home he has ever known. Fleeing for his life, his step-brothers a step behind, Lachlan finds safety and friendship with a young seamstress named Magda, a hermit, an Elf, and two Dwarf brothers. Determined to keep the young prince alive, Magda and the others seek out help in the surrounding Nations.

Everywhere they go, the fugitives are constantly turned away. They are followed by Lachlan's half- brothers who are determined to kill him so that one of them might take their father's crown and become the next king. With every place Lachlan is taken, his brothers close in and when the finally catch up Lachlan is forced to face the question that has been haunting him since he left home.

Lachlan was saved in the hopes he would become a better king then his father and his brothers. But the last thing he wants is to sit on the throne. If he refuses the crown, will there be anyone willing to fight to keep him alive?

I need to get my hands on the first one, so I can read it because... *eyes Jack accusingly* I haven't read it yet.

The Jack of Awesomness

About Jack:

Jack Lewis Baillot has the ability to wear a red shirt because she is convinced she is Scottish and therefore immune to expendable dying. 

It also helps that she has a last name.

Jack claims the title of Author, which makes her feel like a Time Lord when she capitalizes it. She has a sonic pen which deepens her Time Lord claims. She enjoys a good Science Fiction story though spends most of her time writing Fantasy and Steampunk, or a mixture of both.

She believes cliff hangers are terrible and feels the need to apologize over and over when one of her books ends on one.

When Jack isn't writing, which doesn't happen often, she goes on long hikes through the ice lands she calls home. She believes she will one day meet the Abominable Snowman and share a cup of hot chocolate with him.

You can learn more about Jack's other published work and upcoming books at her website, jacklewisbaillot.com

Seriously now, she is quite a delightful author and you are missing out if you haven't read her books.

And now I must go.

We are going to a Renaissance Faire and I'm excited.

Cheers to you all!
