Meanwhile, in Rivendell . . .

Hello, everyone! Five years ago today I posted on this blog for the first time, and since then blogging has been such a blessing to me in so many ways--the biggest, of course, being how many amazing people I've gotten to meet, how many like-minded friends have come into my life.  So, before I get to the answer videos, thank you so much .  You all mean a lot to me; this community is such a welcoming, inclusive home. <3 And in the words of Lina Lamont, "Bless you all!" ;) (Also, these are only the first half of the answer videos. Uploading them takes quite a while so I decided to split them up.) (Also again, all of these were filmed--hehe, such a professional-sounding word--several months ago, so certain answers may be obsolete or inaccurate by now; I hope I get around to adding "Updates" sections after each of the videos, but I'm not sure if I will. So if something sounds off now, you can just ask me and I'll let you know if it...

Yes, friends, it's going to be my blogging birthday.  In October.  Yes.  My blogiversary. So, why the seemingly-premature post here in June, you ask?  Well, I'm actually planning a few things for this particular blogiversary, and these plans include . . . *drumroll* . . . vlogging . *audience gasps* Yes.  Indeed they do.  You see, I want to do another Ask Me Anything (I've done one before, but it was a while back) and answer it in several (hopefully short) vlogs!  Lord willing and the technology works. ;-P So, your part in all this is to think of questions for me to answer. :D  I'll be trying to keep the videos short, as I said, and I'll let you know whose questions I answer before each video so that you can know which video to watch for the answers to your specific questions. :) Would you be willing to do that?  Thanks loads.  I'd be ever so grateful for whatever you could contribute.  So, ask away!! :)

Here it is, folks!  The last installment of answers!  You all asked fantabulous questions--thanks for making it so fun! Hamlette asked: Have you ever stayed up all night long?  If yes, why? I've never not gotten at least a little bit of rest in a day (those tricky double negatives:  I've always gotten at least…, let's go with that).  There have been nights when I've hardly gotten any sleep at all.  The worst examples of that, I think, were the first time I went camping (neglecting to bring a pillow = bad idea) and then another time recently when I was sleeping on a somewhat thin mat, and I could not for the life of me get to sleep.  I ended up crawling out to the couch and catching a few winks there;) Do you read or write fanfiction? Not much, anymore, but I used to love writing epilogues or sequels or just more in-depth stories about characters I liked:D Chocolate and peanut butter, or chocolate and mint? Sheesh.  ...

Here we go again!:)  I'm not sure if this'll be the last answer post or not; we'll just have to see. An Elven Princess (Beth) asked: Have you watched/do you watch Doctor Who, and please elaborate. :D Okay, so, I've never watched an entire episode *ducks* but I have watched clips before.  I'm sure that if I ever were to start it, I wouldn't stop (it's rather easy for me to get sucked into a tv series and then scarred for life *coughRobinHoodcough*).  So there is hope yet! Naomi asked: What was the very first period drama you watched? Oh, you'll be so happy.  'T'was Pride and Prejudice 1995:)   At least, I think it was P&P.  It may have been Fiddler on the Roof  or  The Sound of Music , but we'll go with P&P. Are you a skirts-only girl, or do you wear pants and skirts? Both!  I tend to wear pants more often, because I have more versatile pants than skirts, but I do enjoy skirts as well. Tel...

Whenever I see these Ask Me Anything answer posts, they're always divided into two.  Well, now that I've read all of your lovely questions, I understand why;)  Here's the first installment (which is quite long)! Emma asked: - What time do you usually get up in the morning? 'Hem, yes, well, about that...I often get up at rather shameful hours. I am getting better, though! Recently I've been waking up around 8:30 to 8:45 and emerging from my room after quiet time and other things anywhere from forty-five minutes to an hour later. If you're asking what time I usually "get started on the day," I'd have to say around 10:00 a.m. *winces* BUT, that being said, I'm usually working later in the day, to compensate. - Are you planning on going to college? Yep! I hope to become a pediatric nurse:) - If you could choose one man in all of literature, film, anything, to be your husband, who would it be? Yikes! Well, I'd have to s...

So.  I'm rather hard up for post inspiration at the moment.  I want to do some kind of LotR/Narnia post soon (because, after all, to thine own self be true), but nothing's coming to mind right now.  To fix this, I've decided to host one of those Ask Me Anything posts.  I've seen quite a few people do this, and I find them fun, so on the off chance that you do, too…ask me anything!:)  Well, almost anything, that is.     You can ask me whatever you like, but depending on the nature of the response required--well, as Lizzie says in the 2005 P&P (bear with me, here), "You may ask a question which I will choose not to answer." ;-P  But do ask!  You never know:) Anyone up for it?  I await your questions with anticipation!
