When you're tagged too many times to count, and you get up at 6:30 because the sun has decided to rise at indecent hours, and all your siblings are still asleep, you go scrounge up a few of those tags and do them.
First up: Breaking Stereotypes tag from ChildOfThe1TruKing
List at least two stereotypes I break, huh?
Okay how's this. 1) I'm an extrovert who's not obnoxious. (at least I don't think I am, hey correct me if I'm wrong)
2) I'm a teen who enjoys conversation with adults as a rule more than with teens.
3) I'm a pastor's kid who doesn't hate people mentioning the fact. (Possibly because I adore my dad already and why would you hate being identified with someone you love?) (Also probably because I like to feel special, but who doesn't?)
Now... a thirteen-question tag by Cross-Warrior
And no, I am BREAKING THE FREAKING TAG RULES
I am not going to come up with thirteen more questions, and I am DEFINITELY not going to tag thirteen people for this torture XD XD
1. Why are/were you reading my replies?
Because, dear Cross, they were in your random book which was in my library and it is so rare for you to post anything there that I of course had to see. XD
2. L or A?
I have honestly no clue what this means soooooooo *dives into a nice big hole*
3. You can only read one more story (fanfic or book or manga or whatever) before you are unable to read anything ever again. What do you read?
Ugh don't. That is a meanie question. Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff.
4. Who is your least favourite character from anything and why?
SORTILEGO FROM nightwraith17 'S BOOKS (Warden of the West March and Third Winter's War)
KILL THE EVIL WORMTONGUE RAT
5. Who is your favourite author and why?
Yes, I love Tolkien, that's a given. But Rosemary Sutcliff is everything I aspire to be in a writer. Her descriptions are so vivid, exquisite, unique, never redundant; she can portray emotion with a delicacy and accuracy that blows my mind; she builds her plots with the elegance of a master.
If you don't like Tolkien, and you don't like more old-style writing, you won't like Sutcliff. But oh my goodness, she's worth a try. When I say old-style, don't think purpliness, mush, and description overload, because that's not Sutcliff. She writes with an archaic flair, yes, but the heaviness of the Victorian writers is stripped away under her hand for simple, potent prose.
READ HER.
6. Who is your favourite Wattpad writer and why?
Only one??? Gah that's not nice.
Okay. I've mentioned Ellowyne a billion times recently, and nightwraith17 also got the spotlight (in this very tag as well hehe)
So. Stars_Alight
Because of the beauty.
When I read something by Stars, I'm swept up by someone who just wants to write for the loveliness of the way words sound. Games with emphasis, expression, this word, that word, a dance of vocabulary and rhythm designed to gratify the eye and ear.
Her writing has left its mark on mine, and I'm not ashamed to say it.
7. Say you won 5 billion dollars. What do you do?
Keel over in a faint.
8. What is your favourite class?
??? I don't know... I mean, I'm not in school currently... last time I was in school (i.e. two weeks ago) it was probably British Lit.
9. Say you could only eat one more thing for the rest of your life. What would that food be?
I know there's this food that's supposed to contain everything necessary to sustain life but I can't remember what it is.
10. Would you rather burp or hiccup continually for a minute?
Can you give me an idea of how long the intervals are supposed to be?
11. Avatar the Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra?
...
...
someday I will understand what these things are.
12. How did we meet?
The Undiscovered Writers' Contest on TWC.
13. Why are you my friend?
Because you, Cross, are a really funny, understanding, dedicated, open, helpful and encouraging person. (AND A STALKER XD XD) People are your friends because you are their friends. You don't just sit around and wait for friendships to happen; you go out and try. Now if you'll excuse me I think I'm going red... public speaking is not my thing. *backs out awkwardly and trips over something*
Finally... CCWinters has tagged yours truly in a Soundtrack Tag.
What top 5 soundtracks do you like/inspire you while writing?
I have (or rather, my sister has but same difference because we share a room) a CD of the whole Return of the King soundtrack.
Also, all the soundtracks that GerithorDunedain compiled for his books. No joke. Some of my best writing music ever. I'm not going to post the videos in here because honestly my computer will hate me forever, but check out those soundtracks at DunedainoftheNorth on YouTube.
Pretty sure that makes five or more.
Nobunny is tagged for this. All the bunnies are free.
