The Sunshine Blogger Award [which I may or may not have stolen]

 

Hellllooo. So, Sam did this award, and I loved her questions, so I decided to steal this tag (although she did give me permission to, so does it really count as stealing?). Let's get to it, shall we?

Sam's Questions

What is a genre that you didn't think you would enjoy when you first started reading [or watching] it, but now really do?

Man, that's hard. I'm usually pretty open-minded when it comes to trying new things. Okay, you know what, I do have one: romance. Why did I hate romance? Oh, because my slightly judgemental past self thought that it was stupid and boring, despite not having read any romance books, and then I gave it a shot and, what do you know, it wasn't so bad. Sure, some of them are cliche and boring, but so are books in literally every single other genre. I am definitely a romantic when it comes to fiction [not so much IRL]. Like, I love to ship other characters together, I love to read other people's fanfiction, and I love to throw things across the room in a fit of annoyance because these two characters should just kiss already.

Wow, that was way more rant-y than I expected. Romance isn't my all-time favorite genre, but I like it, and I'm glad I tried it out. 

Speaking of cute, I present you all with a random Cadnis GIF [aka one of my many, many ships]. You're welcome.

What is the best piece of advice someone has given you?

Okay, I can't remember who said this. Maybe it was a friend, maybe it was a family member, maybe it was a fictional character [it was probably a fictional character] but somebody said to live life in the moment, and to try to make the best out of things, even if your situation isn't the best [I feel like the fact that this is my favorite piece of advice just goes to show how much of a Gryffindor I am]. I mean, life is short, so make the most of every second.

What is a weird food combination you enjoy that your family [or housemates] think is weird?

I enjoy lots of weird food combos. In fact, I am the queen of weird food combinations. So, here are some that most of my family members think is weird.

-Cold pizza for breakfast

-Hot dogs with just mustard

-Ice cream with mashed up bits of cake/pie/brownies/cookies

-Peanut butter and carrot sandwiches [this has got to be the weirdest one on this list]

What is your favorite book to reread, and how many times have you reread it?

The Last Summer of the Garrett Girls. I've read it five or six times, which doesn't seem like that much, but I read it for the first time this summer. Yeah. It's my all-time favorite stand-alone book. It has nearly everything that I love in it [it's missing fight scenes, dragons, and vampires, but, hey, we can't have everything]: great sisterly relationships, a great aesthetic, witty writing, cute ships, and relatable characters. 

Who is your favorite artist? What is your favorite piece of art by them?
Erm, Janis from Mean Girls? Oh, wait, we're using real people. My sister, Amber, and my favorite piece of art of hers is this drawing of me as a goat man [she wanted it to upset me. I found it hilarious]. 

Have you ever traveled out of your home country? Where did you go?

Unfortunately, no. I want to, though. I'm not picky about where I go. I just want to go somewhere. 

Who are your favorite and least favorite authors?

I don't really have favorite or least favorite authors.  I just choose based on individual books. My favorite author is anyone in the blogosphere who has published a book or story. Yes, all of you. I also like most of Rick Riordan's books, so maybe him.

What is the best book you've had to read for a class?

See, being forced to read something automatically lowers my enjoyment of it, so I don't know. There was this one Greek tragedy called Oedipus the King that was pretty interesting. And I remember liking Understood Betsy, but I was, like, ten, so I don't really remember what the book was about.

What is your favorite season [or month]? 

I could never pick a favorite season. My favorite month, however, is December, because of Christmas, which is my favorite holiday of all time [yes, yes, I can be basic sometimes]

Why did you choose your blog name?

Story timeeee, yay. When I first started this blog, I wanted to be a famous performer [hence the triple threat part]. Since then my goals have changed, but I like the name, so I'm keeping it. 

Who is a blogger that you think everyone should follow [you're not allowed to say me, even if you want to, which you probably don't]?

Hmmmmm, that's hard. I really can't choose. I love so many of you guys. So, those of you who are nominated, you are my favorite bloggers. All of you. I did tag the majority of you for the 30 song tag, so, uh, you don't have to do it unless you really like my questions.
