Benita asked me these questions:
1. Who is your favourite actor/actress and why? Oh, my...I can't choose just one. Sean Astin, Natalie Portman, Orlando Bloom, Scarlett Johansson, Billie Piper, and David Tennant are a few of my favorites.
2. How many languages do you speak well enough to hold a conversation? Just one, and that's English. I do know a bit of Latin, but really, who am I going to speak Latin with?
3. What is the last book you read that you couldn’t put down? Either Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, or Where the Woods Grows Wild by Nate Philbrick. I was reading both of those around the same time.
4. What is one genre you would never read? Erotic fiction. Reading it goes against my morals, and it's gross anyway.
7. Do you like maps? I LOVE maps. They're my favorite. In 6th grade, I went to the State Geography Bee because I like maps so much, and I still do, just as much.
8. How often do you write by hand compared to typing? Not often, let's be real. Generally I take notes by hand, but type anything longer.
9. Which author’s books can you never resist picking up? Anything by Jeanne Birdsall, my favorite childhood author (don't laugh).
10. What is your favourite letter of the alphabet? The letter L, naturally. =)
11. How much chocolate do you consume on a weekly basis? Too much. ;)

ReplyDeleteAlso: Excellent choice on best book-to-movie adaptation. Gotta love the Extended Edition. =D Thanks for the tag!
Thank you Hannah!!! =D Yes, the Extended Editions are the best. And you're so welcome, I hope you have fun with this!!
DeleteCongrats dude! I'm Marrok. Those are some great answers. So do you like reading maps or making them?
ReplyDeleteHi Marrok!! Thank you. =D
DeleteI like BOTH, reading maps is a lot of fun, but I also ADORE making them!! You can check out a link to an actual blog post I did about maps if you like =) https://lukehartman.blogspot.com/2016/08/beyond-writing-create-professional.html
Latin is the best!! I find it's a lot more intuitive than that smorgasbord of languages known as English, even if I only have a rudimentary education on it. Which do you prefer more?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, proper introductions. Hi, I'm Thomas Reither from LuxFilii.blogspot.com. I've been following your blog for a while now, just haven't had the gumption to say hi until now. Incidentally, I find it pretty cool that you're on SoundCloud, the world needs more musical bloggers. It looks like we'll be releasing Christmas albums around the same time, pretty excited about that! :D
Yes, I do really like Latin! I feel like Latin is a good framework on which you can build a lot of different languages. The thing is...I haven't ever exactly LEARNED other languages besides English of course...but French is on my to-do list. ;)
DeleteHi Thomas!! I was talking to Jonathan yesterday, and he mentioned you...YOU'RE FROM WISCONSIN TOO RIGHT?! I live in Northern WI. Also I'm going to follow your blog right now. =D
Thanks so much for tagging me! I'll hopefully be able to answer these questions come December... less school and NaNo then. XD
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the chocolate there. Although I almost always pair mine with peanut butter. XD

You're so welcome!! Yes, just answer them when you find the time. =)
DeleteYES CHOCOLATE IS THE BEST and peanut butter...yes yes yes, don't make me hungry. ;)
Latin... that's pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't read that genre, either.
Why do you like the letter L?
I like the letter L because it's the first letter of my first name. =)
DeleteYou did a great job with this! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE LEFT-HANDED!!! Dude, join the club! *high fives*
ReplyDeleteIf you're a fan of LotR blogs, you should check out writingadventures91.blogspot.com Not only another guy blogger (and friend of mine), but some really deep posts :D
I will probably not being doing this on my blog and will answer some of the questions in my newsletter which I hope to begin this month. :) Thanks for tagging me!
Gosh, on second thought, I may have to do it on my blog. Your questions are just SO good!
DeleteThank you! YES I'M LEFT-HANDED!!! :D *high fives back*
DeleteOkay, I literally just opened that link you referred to.
