Okay, so can we talk for a second about how Jeffrey and Andrew somehow keep looking better?? 😻😻 I'll have whatever they're having. Or just them, whatever is easier 🙈

Omg, right?!?! Andy was my first TWD when I started watching the show, but I swear he reached peak hotness last season and now this season. He is SUCH a daddy and his beard is the perfect length and ratio of salt to pepper. And Jeff? Gawdddd, I’m so glad that beard is back! The two of them together...trading innuendos on screen...it’s too much. TOO MUCH I SAY! XD

Eleven Questions

I was tagged by @autumnescape.  The rules are to tag 11 people but anyone who wants can do this.  Make up 11 of your own questions after answering the ones left for you. 

1. Who was your favorite teacher/professor and what did they do to leave such an impact?

My theater instructor and director at my community college.  He was positive and constructive but also very knowledgeable and an amazing director.  He was also certified in stage combat.

2. If nothing stood in your way in any form, what profession would you love to be in?

I still wish I could be an actor professionally. 

3. If you opened your mailbox and received a package to meet someone at any destination in the world, where would you want to go and who would you want to be there waiting to see you?

I would go to Hawaii and would want my husband to be there waiting to see me.

4. If you could go to ANY decade, past or future, where would you like to go?

I’d go to 1893 so I could meet Laura Ingalls Wilder at the same age I am currently.  The 1800s and old west have always been my favorite times in history to learn about. 

5. Best pickup line you’ve ever heard?

 *Beckoning someone over with index finger*

“I made you come with one finger.  Imagine what I can do with more.” 😂

6. Favorite topping on a pizza? That is THE quintessential question here, we all know it. No Slice Left Behind ✊🏼

I’ve liked pineapple on my pizza, especially when it’s paired with bbq sauce on the pizza, since I was little. Then recently, there was all this “pineapple on pizza shaming” happening.  I don’t understand why some people are so rude about personal preferences. 

7. If you didn’t know yourself, but could watch your story back, what advice would you give to yourself for the future?

I would tell my young self that I am worthy of love and that there was nothing wrong with being me even if my views and beliefs were different than my family’s.  I would tell myself that the hurtful things others did truly were because of their own pain and negativity and was not a reflection of something wrong with me. If anything, my light shone too brightly for them but I thought I had to hide it away and learned to hate myself for being different. 

8. What’s your favorite season of the year?

It’s hard to chose because I like the variety of all seasons but I would say winter because of the snow. 

9. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I night owl.  My sleep schedule has been off since I was 13. 😄

10. Name 3 things (can be physical, emotional, etc.) that you love about yourself.

My intelligence, my spirituality, my ass

11. What art (books, records, paintings, etc.) has changed your life in a positive way?

I’ve been blessed to have been immersed in a world of art and culture from a young age.  Seeing art and architecture like The Sistine Chapel, The Louvre, and the Pantheon, has shaped me.  I loved going to musicals and plays growing up and being in them when I got older.   I used to read all the time and it would get me through anxiety attacks when I was younger.  Without music, literature, and the arts, the world would be a very boring place. 

Questions:

1. Who is your favorite actor?

2. What is your fondest memory?

3. Is there a food you can’t stand?

4. What is your greatest fear?

5. What is your greatest hope?

6.  Who is someone you look up to?

7. What is your favorite pastime?

8. What was the worst movie you ever saw?

9. What are your top 3 pet peeves?

10. If you could meet any celebrity, who would you meet?

11. How do you relax after a long day?

Tag Nine People with Excellent Taste

I was tagged by the lovely @sherrybaby14. Thanks, boo!

Color you’re wearing: *looks down* a lot of red, actually. I have on a red and white sweatshirt with red and white plaid fluffy pj pants, and then blue and white stripped fluffy socks....and I’m huddled under a dark purple, fluffy blanket. It’s Saturday, I’m comfortable, no judging allowed XD

Last Band T-shirt you bought: Oh god...I honestly don’t buy band t-shirts or go to concerts...in fact, I might’ve been the wrong person to tag as having “excellent taste” when it comes to this arena XD 

Last Band you saw live: As far as a legit band that wasn’t just some random one playing at a bar or cafe that I stumbled upon? .....The only major concert I’ve been to was Backstreet Boys in 5th grade...I know, I know. 

Last song you listened to: “Ghost” by Ella Henderson

Lipstick or Chapstick: Chapstick, although I have this AMAZING chubby stick from Clinique that is a tinted lip balm, so it’s like lipstick and chapstick in one. I’ve gone through like 3 tubes of it since discovering it a few years ago. 

Last movie you watched: Oh god, I have to really think about this...I don’t watch movies often...The last movie I saw in theaters was IT...and that might be the last movie I’ve watched, actually. 

Last 3 TV shows you watched: Ghost Adventures, The Walking Dead, Stranger Things

3 Characters you identify with: Caroline Forbes (The Vampire Diaries), Alex Dunphy (Modern Family), and Elsa (Frozen)

Book You’re currently reading: Omg, I’ve “started” a few books and then I haven’t finished them because fanfiction is taking over my life. Fanfiction-wise, I’m about to start a Snape/OC fic that was recommended to me by @dusty-cookie called “Tea with the Black Dragon”, so that’s going to be what I start reading today. And I’m reading a Snape/Hermione fic called “Darkness and Silence” that is AMAZING. I devour each new chapter as it’s posted. It’s dark as hell, and I love it. 

As far as non-fanfiction, a friend loaned me Stephen King’s “Nightshift” collection of short stories, that I’ve been picking up and reading one or two of here and there. I’m halfway through “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (I was re reading the series, but then got uber distracted by Snape fanfiction, since re reading the books sent me down a thirsty Snape hole). I’m also a small ways into Stephen King’s “The Stand”. It’s really good, I just...keep getting distracted by all the things. And there’s probably a random romance novel laying around my apartment somewhere that I started and haven’t finished...

[flames-bring-a-ton-of-ash]

Eleven Questions

I was tagged by the amazing @jeffreydeanneganstrash @neganismyobsession and @sherrybaby14 to play this game. 

Rules.

1. Post the Rules. 2. Answer the questions given to you. 3. Make 11 questions of your own. 4. Tag 11 people.

Since I was tagged 3 times, I’m gonna slightly cheat by answering the 33 questions I was asked, then write 11 of my own questions to tag 11 people in (rather than create 33 questions which I would spend all night coming up with lol). 

I’m putting a keep reading bar because this got hella long.

@neganismyobsession‘s Questions:

1. Favorite movie genre?

Lately, it seems to be horror, although I’m always a sucker for a good romance. 

2. If you could bring one thing to show your favorite celebrity, what would it be?

Tbh, if I ever met JDM, I’d love to magically have the resources to print out a copy of ID to give him, or at the very least take the first chapter and ask him to sign it. No shame lol

3. Who is your favorite fanfic writer?

Just one?!?! Oh god...I read fanfiction in so many fandoms that I literally can’t say I have one favorite. However, I’m gonna give a shoutout to my girl @hannibalssweaters whose writing has introduced me to some kinks I didn’t even know I was into, and has had me reading fics about characters/fandoms I’m not even involved with. If you haven’t read her stuff, I strongly encourage it (altho heed the warnings).

4. If you could live anywhere where money was not an issue, where would you live?

Ireland, most likely

5. What brought you to Tumblr originally?

Oh wow...that was back in like 2011, and I only made a tumblr because my undergrad roommates were talking about it and told me that I should, so I did lol

6. What is your favorite past time?

Reading...does that count?

7. If the zombie apocalypse did happen, what is the first thing you would do?

Pack up my cats and attempt to make it back to my hometown, although that’s a 4 hour drive away so idk if I’d make it. But I’d have a much better chance of survival in my small hometown out in the woods than I’d ever have here in a major city. I honestly think I’d be pretty fucked and die really quickly just trying to get out of here.

8. What is one movie you could watch over and over and not get tired of it?

Pride & Prejudice

9. If you could have been born in another time era, what time era would you pick?

Tbh, the reality of any past era is not one I’d be interested in, especially as a woman. But I love reading romance novels set in various historical eras. 

10. If you could be a famous person, who would you be?

Hmm...maybe Taylor Swift? Just to know what that level of fame would be like, but also because she’s relatable enough with her cats and old lady habits that I wouldn’t feel totally unlike myself lol

11. Apple or Android?

Apple

@jeffreydeanneganstrash‘s Questions:

1. Was there a book or movie that you read/watched that truly disappointed you? If so, which book/movie and why?

Book: The Game of Thrones series. I love the show (although I’m a few seasons behind) and bought the first 4 books, planning on trying to catch up and surpass where the show was, so I could know what happens next. I barely made it halfway through the first book before giving up. I was so disappointed that I just had no interest in it at all, and was forcing myself to read it. It wasn’t worth the dedication needed to read those beast-sized novels, if I wasn’t enjoying them.

2. If you could travel back in time, where would you go?

I kinda stated above how I personally would not wanna go back in time, because I like having more rights now as a woman than we have had in the past haha. I’m also not super into history, so I’m good with leaving the past in the past. 

3. What is your favourite quote or song lyric?

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” ~Marilyn Monroe

4. Who is you least favourite “popular” celebrity and why?

Donald. Fucking Donald. Do I even need to explain why?

5. When there’s something strange in your neighbourhood…who are you gonna call?

Hmm...I usually call my mother or grandmother in any panicky situations, so I guess one of them? Although they live 4 hours away, so idk how helpful they’d be if it was a physical danger lol. 

6. Would you ever play with a ouija board?

Fuck no

7. If you could be a part of any T.V./Movie universe, which would it be?

Most TV shows I watch are ones where human women end up dead way too often lmao. Uhhh...Harry Potter, perhaps?

8. Do you prefer mornings or nights?

Nights, definitely. Even though I have to be at work at 8am, I don’t think I’ll ever totally get used to that early morning shit.

9. Can you name 11 things that are around you?

couch, fluffy blanket, glass of water, laptop, cell phone, coffee table, 2 books on said coffee table, cat scratch post, 2 cats, purse, boots

10. Black or white?

Black

11. What is the soundtrack to your life?

One song that I relate to a lot and jam out to is Alessia Cara’s “Wild Things” lol. Also, just about anything by Taylor Swift or Kelly Clarkson is usually pretty relatable. 

@sherrybaby14‘s Questions:

1. Favorite Holiday?

Thanksgiving (which is coming up!) or my birthday, if that counts

2. Santa is going to bring you one toy this year. What do you ask for?

Heh...I’d probably pick out one of the super expensive sex toys that I’ve seen and lamented being unable to afford.

3. If money were not a concern, what would your dream job be?

Being a published writer

4. What are your favorite type of puzzles?

Ohhh I love puzzles of all kinds. I went through a phase a couple of years ago with large jigsaw puzzles that I then glued and framed. But I also love Sudoku, which I haven’t done in forever. 

5. What was your first kiss like?

Drunk and nothing special

6. If you had to change your first name, what name would you pick?

I’d refuse. I love my first name. It’s unique, and I rarely ever meet anyone else with it. 

7. What is the best dessert you can make?

I make some pretty bangin’ chocolate chip pumpkin cookies from scratch. 

8. What are you thankful for this year?

I feel like I went through quite a few stressful and heartbreaking tests this year, such as being unexpectedly evicted from my apartment due to renovations earlier in the year, and watching one of my cats lose his health over a period of 6 months and having to finally make the decision to put him down in August. Both those situations were ones where I just wanted to let my mental health tank, let the depression take over, and give up. So, I’m really thankful for my support system. For my family who offered support, for my friends offline who were always there to talk, come over and let me vent, or help me in whatever ways they could. I was also incredibly thankful for my tumblr family. The Negan fandom (and some lovelies in the Supernatural fandom) provided so much support to me that I will be forever thankful for. I had so many people message me about both situations, and I even received over $200 in ko-fi donations for my writing, to help out with moving expenses. I don’t have enough words to even express how much all the messages and asks and just the aura of support I received, both on here and offline, meant to me. Because of that support from those around me, I was able to keep myself from falling prey to my depression, was able to find a new apartment that I absolutely love, and was able to make it through the loss of Sebastian (and I now own a new kitten who has helped patch up both my grief and my other cat’s grief, and refill both our hearts with love). So, to everyone who sent me a message, sent donations, and/or just had me in your thoughts...thank you. I couldn’t have kept it together and made it through without y’all. 

(Sorry, that got uber cheesy XD)

9. Do you decorate for Christmas? If so, do you have any theme?

Ha, no. The cats would destroy any decorations, so I don’t even make the effort. 

10. Do you enjoy getting ready (i.e. hair, makeup, clothes)?

Eh, not like I used to when I was younger. I take maybe 15 minutes to throw myself together for work in the morning. It’s only a few select times a year when I’m either going home or to a friend’s house for a holiday (or the one time a year when I go out drinking for my birthday) when I enjoy putting on music and taking my time getting all made up and going all out with makeup and such.

11. Favorite store to shop in?

Probably Target. Or Kohl’s. 

Now, for My Questions: 

1. Do you have any pets? If so, what species, and what are their names?

2. Your favorite place that you’ve traveled to?

3. What are you currently reading?

4. One thing that you’re currently looking forward to?

5. Where do you hopefully see yourself in 5 years?

6. Your favorite flavor of ice cream?

7. What’s the best piece of advice that you’ve ever received?

8. Favorite brand/chain/type of coffee?

9. One thing you never leave home without?

10. Name 3 things (can be physical, emotional, etc.) that you love about yourself. 

11. If you were to recommend one published book/series for me to read, what would it be?

I’m gonna just tag a bunch of people since I answered more than 11 questions: @i-am-negan-trash @hannibalssweaters @strangersangel9 @vizhi0n @mrs-squirrel-chester @kellyn1604 @seraphimkouenki @superprincesspea @megmeg-chan @noodlecupcakes @faith-in-dean @sweetsweetpeach @ryangoslingstanktop @negan--is--god @thegirl-fromthesky @hazel-nuss @backseat-negan @autumnescape @wickednerdery @bamby0304 @embracetheapocalypsewithme @wheresthekillswitch @rapsity @supernaturally-lucky @superwholoki

Tag Nine People With Excellent Taste

Tagged by @autumnescape

Color you’re wearing: Grey tank top with a pink sweater, grey leggings, and my Christmas polar bear socks.  

Last Band T-shirt you bought: Awolnation at their concert.

Last Band you saw live: It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to go to a concert since most bands don’t come to Denver that often.  The last show I went to was Fall Out Boy in July 2016.

Last song you listened to:  “Creepin Up the Backstairs” by The Fratellis

Lipstick or Chapstick:  It’s good to prime the lips with a balm before applying the lipstick so I’d say both.  I have really dry lips so I like a hydrating lip gloss when I work and a lipstick on days off. 

Last movie you watched:  One of my favorite Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart films, Rope.

Last 3 TV shows you watched: An episode of How I Met Your Mother. I’ve seen every episode of the series so many times over the years and am now re-watching it with my husband.  Earlier today I watch two episodes of Izombie. 

3 Characters you identify with:  Veronica from Veronica Mars, Jo from Little Women, and Leslie from Parks and Recreation.

Book You’re currently reading:  I’m reading Rat Saw God by Rob Thomas again and just started Saint Augustine’s Confessions.

I tag anyone if you think you have excellent taste.
