Three Things About Moi:
1.
I am mentally a child. Or a sassy old woman. I am pretty child-ish inside, if you happen to know what it's like inside my protective shell. The other day my mom walked in on me watching Trollhunters, "Why do you only watch cartoons?" she asks. (I don't only watch cartoons, but I kinda was binge-watching this show every night for awhile)  I said nothing, besides the stardard "idk", but I felt pretty childish. My younger sisters tell me I'm like an old lady quite a lot too.
I tend to be more grumpy and quiet, but to select few I'm quite peppy.

2.
I want to have a halloween party. So. Bad. I made a playlist and everything. And yes, I know it's May.

 

Sometimes I wish I had a bunch of friends who'd want to go.
3.
For some reason lately, I keep talking in a spanish accent. 
It is becoming a problem.

I don't know about them being my best posts, but they're my favorite so far.



Elizabeth's Questions

What is the first pairing you remember shipping?
I was...a child. Have any of you guys ever read Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror? I read said story when I was younger and I loved it. I drew almost every character from it (back when I was first getting into drawing). And the ships! Megan and Falcon. Destinee and Weems. Max and Pearl. Hardly enough boats for all these ships. I shipped so many people in this book, in the cute, creepy little kid way.
What is the weirdest, most unusual or one of a kind thing you own?
This is a hard one indeed. I have a lot of one of a kind things, some not worth mentioning. Some unusual things...I have a collection of skeleton keys, some old and rusty. I have a huge block of rose quartz, and a huge block of aventurine. A small book of scribbled songs I wrote. The birthmark on my arm. The vintage avon ring Clarissa gave me.
If you had a suprise birthday being thrown for you, what are 3 fictional characters you would want to be there and why? 
Why, are you planning something? ðŸ¤¨ Kidding. Totally kidding. Ah, there's a lot of people I'd want to meet, so I guess my answers might be just currently, subject to change.
 Dustin from Stranger Things
It'd be fun to meet him, fun to have at a party.
Krel from 3 Below
I'd love to meet Krel, I'd have him as a DJ.
Sokka from Avatar
Oh Sokka, what a party animal, or Zuko, I'd love to have Zuko there, any way we can get both?
 All boys, I guess, but like I said, subject to change.
If you could steal a costume from a show/movie, which one would you take?
Ohhh boy. You ask such good questions!
Maybe something from Gone with the Wind

Or one of Morgana's dresses

There was a few others, but I forgot, and I don't need to make this posting so long. 😅
What was the last line in a book, line in a movie, or lyric in a song that hit you hard?
Lately (and in truth, ever since I paid close attention to these lyrics) I been thinking about the words in Neon Gravestones by Twenty One Pilots. These last words are really profound and bring this song it's conclusion. I've been inspired by this song to make art to hang on my wall, but I never got the chance, (or a canvas, for that matter) so I'm still wanting to do something related.
"Find your grandparents or someone of age
Pay some respect for the path that they paved
To life they were dedicated
Now that should be celebrated"
I nominate:
and!

Siames - My Favorite Bands - May 6, 2021

 Heyo! I'm back, and I'm excited to do a posting about probably my favorite band (its definetly in the top five),
Siamés!
Siamés (see-ah-mes) is based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They sing in english, and are influenced by japanese style and art. They're actually pretty new, seven years old. The first song I ever heard was "The Wolf", I heard in on a project on Scratch years ago. I then watched the animated video, which went viral on Youtube, with 2 Million views within the first month of it's release.
The comment sections of these songs are really cool, and everybody has their own theories, so it's really fun to read them.
I think this song is about struggling with addiction, the alcoholism and smoking. I'm not sure if the man on the motorcycle is an adrenaline junkie or is running from something else, It's a little unclear, But at the end he is the first to stand up and fight. 
After that I've been pretty obsessed. I can't say there's a song out from them yet that I dislike. 
When I first saw "Mr. Fear" I liked the song, but I thought the video was a little creepy. The more I watched it though, the more I loved both the song and the video. That seems to happen a lot with this band, sometimes if I don't really care for one of the songs, a few more listens and I love it.
"Mr. Fear" eventually became one my favorites. I even have a poster of it in my room. This song has it's theories, like the others. I'm not really sure with this one, seems to me like a relationship that's damaging to the things around them, but they don't ever end it, but I'm more interested in the less metaphorical side of this video, like what happens to the characters after the song is over. This video left me with so many questions, and I bet it'll do the same to you.
"Summer Nights" (2020) Is their other animated music video, I didn't really love it like I loved The Wolf and Mr. Fear, but It's still a really great song.

I don't have any really interesting theories for "Summer Nights" but notice: Their clothes and possibly their ages change after the blond girl's star appears.
Some other of my favorite songs from them, all their other songs are great, don't forget to check them out! But since I'm sure you don't want to keep this tab open forever to listen to 22 songs, I'll only post a few.
"As You Get High"

"Firestorm"

"Young and Restless"

"2 Feathers"

And one of their new-er songs,
"Always the Same"

I really hoped you liked this band, and will check it out if you got time. 

👽Thanks for Reading👽

Behind The Blogger Tag!

Flowers my sister's boyfriend got for her, Jerod (Said boyfriend) also got a rose for each Carrie and Sarah for playing in my mom's recital, and a vase of red roses for my mom. What a (flower) guy!
Praecepta:
Thank the person who nominated you. (Thank you Elizabeth!)

Answer the questions.

Ping back to the creator: Ellyn of Allonsythornraxx

Nominate 5+ bloggers to do the tag. (I have four followers, and I think a lot of you have done this already, so I'm not sure how many I can nominate)

Why did you start blogging, and why have you kept blogging?

To be completely honest, before all this, "blog" wasn't really a prominent word in my vocabulary. I didn't know anything about them, how they worked, not even that my own sister had once had one. That all changed when I added Blogging for Teens by John W. Gosney to the huge pile of books I picked up at my local library. I really don't know what compelled me to do so...curiousity, I guess. I read it and was like, "Wow, there's this whole world I had no idea about". I wanted to get a blog, but I wasn't quite sure how to go about it, and how revelent my new book was, being published in 2004. 'Blogger' the website wasn't really my first choice, or my second, honestly. I got frustrated with the whole thing and spent an unhealthy amount of time trying to make things work. When blogger ended up being my only option, it turned out to be the perfect option. SO, in the end, this disaster ensued.

The reason I've kept on is mostly because I'm pretty new and still testing the waters. I seem to like it a lot, but I don't trust myself 🙃.

What is your favorite kind of blog post to write?

I really enjoy sharing music with people through my blog, so that's probably my favorite kind. I also like just a bunch of random creations mushed together in one big creative explosion. I'm new to tags, but so far I love them!

What are your top three favorite blog posts?

Most definetly going to come back and change this, because I don't have that many posts, but, so far:

What are some of your favorite things to do to relax?

Draw (without art block, please!) Read, listen to music, walking through the trees, sing, pinterest.

What are three of your favorite things?

Three, why three? *is visibly stressed*

Things that glow in the dark, Good fanart, Jesus. (Kind of two random things and something that's really important, I know, I panicked)

What are your proudest blogging moments?

When I finish a posting, and everything looks nice and tidy, and I have high hopes that it'll get positive feedback.

When someone comments 💗.

When I put all that stuff on the side of my blog, and It looked really spiffy.

What are your hobbies outside of blogging?

Drawing, Writing (poems, songs, stories) Making dollhouses, painting, shopping, embroidering, making jewelry, penpalling, collecting music boxes...There's kind of a lot. Heheh...

Describe your personality in three words

Contradictory, secretive, fastidious.

What are your top three pet peeves?

Having to clean up something before using it, (and wondering Is everyone slobs or am I just obsessive?)

My brothers acting like they're better than everyone else.

If I don't get something done and I have to keep writing it on a list every day. (I write lists every night for the day ahead)

What is something your followers don't know about you?

I...love...Graffiti and street art! I said it, and I don't mean the profanities sprayed on that one guy's shop window, I mean like...

Credit to the artists, these images came from pinterest.
ART!
Okay that was a lot of photos, I hope you like. I also watch some guys on youtube who do some pretty cool art. Check them out sometime, if you feel like it.
Whew, I didn't know I was gonna do this all in one sitting, but it is now 8pm and my butt hurts, so I guess its been awhile 😅
I nominate MovieCritic If you haven't done it already. And anyone else who reads this who hasn't done this yet, feel freely nominated!
