"Wow me, you've been blogging a lot!"
"Why yes I have, me! I've had a good dose of inspiration and a lot of down time!"
"Well that's great, me. :)"
"Yup!"
And thus ends the conversation with myself. Yes, I've had a lot inspiration and a lot of photos of previous projects. As of right now, I have a lot of down time, and a hard time being creative to fill it. Also an extreme lack of social activity. But that's why blogs are so great! 'Cause you can talk about everything for as long as you want and your followers have no choice but to read it.
I'm kidding :)
As you saw in my Action Figure Photo Shoot, I like photographing figurines and the like. I do Legos a lot, and if you're ever going through my Pinterest boards (That would be here!) you know just how many Lego Star Wars pics. I've pinned (as in, not that many, but a few here and there).
And yes, I just advertised myself, so HA!
So all this to say, I came up with the idea to do a photo shoot of Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers finding a cave of treasure. It was inspired by my love of rocks and gems. I have soooo many and not a ton to use them for. And poof:
(Please comment your fav. of the photo shoot! The most loved one will be given a prize!. . . I haven't figured out the logistics yet ok?)
My favs. are the Stormtroopers carrying the bottle of gold and finding the minikit (the last photo). The only way I could get the "gold" bottle to stay was to tape it to the bottom trooper's back. And yes, there are two phase 2 clone troopers in there on accident :\
And yes, it took a long time to set up and take down.
Energizer. It keeps going and going and going.
And so do my bad jokes!!! Hahahahahaha
Rules!
1) Share the image I made or link back to me [ScribbledFiction] cuz its my tag.
2) Answer the questions
3) Tag 3 more people when you're done!
(Sorry I'm kinda a dead end ya'll so knock yourselves out)
What's the most recent thing you've bought for your *cough* stash?
Oh wait, I just remembered something else that's actually stash. . . These are just too cool, I found them at the World Market:
What's your favorite notebook and favorite pencil/pen?
So that's hard. 'Cause it goes in phases. I have favorites for the different purposes they serve. I really like this donut one for writing by hand when I'm not at home or don't want to be on a screen. Like late at night. I also carry a small notebook on me usually and I just started this little Star Wars one and I really like it:
Favorite pen/pencil. I have a few pens I really like, but I'm not a huge pencil person. The top pen is from Hawaii. They write very smoothly and I love them. Whenever someone is going to Hawaii I request a new one (or three). The middle is four-colored pen, that yes, is duck-taped. Finally this is a. . . I don't know what it's called but my mom has ones like this that are called Energy Gel X or something.
If you DIY your notebooks or pens, what's the best one you've done?
(if you haven't, just tell us what you would DIY if you had the skillz).
K, this is a little embarrassing. . . I have some that I did as a part of AWANA. My teacher would get us each a notebook and bring pretty paper and accessories so we could decorate them. Now, LISTEN. Mine were gorgeous! I'm not kidding. But I was 10-12 yrs. old, and they've seen the love. I liked to draw on the patterns of the pretty paper with full knowledge that it was going to ruin them. . . and yes, I regret it. But I also know that it's ok, they've been loved. So just imagine what they would've look like without all the pen, and the strips of washi tap that were not a part of the original design.
Do you have any cute erasers? If you do, let's see them!
If I haven't already said this, I have been quite the My Little Pony fan at various points in my life. Right now I'm not, but I have these awesome little My Little Pony erasers:) K, 2 of these are real pony figures and 2 are erasers. I'll give you the answer at the end of the post.
What's the piece of stationary you have but don't use because it's too nice?
I have this beautiful notebook I was given as a birthday present that I haven't really used. I've written a couple things in it, but I kinda don't want to ruin it. But I feel good about using it for a journal once I need a new one. Also those new colored stick pencils.
And finally, show us your full stationary collection. If you want, you can even include numbers.
Oh don't worry, I will :)
Brace yourselves. . . I have 30 notebooks. . .
Ok, no numbers for this one and I didn't want to lay it all out.
No numbers again and yeah. This is mostly it, there's a couple other things laying around, but I think ya'll get the picture:)
So boom!
The orange earth-pony in the middle and the purple, non-sparkly, pink haired Pegasus on the left are the 2 erasers :)
I tag: BOB, JOE, and (get this) BOB AGAIN!!! lol
Feel free to comment to this question: Do you think I have too many notebooks? 'Cause I think I do ;)
*sigh*
I'm not kidding, I literally SCOURED the internet for a gif of Sensei Wu saying GWEEEEN from the Lego Ninjago movie and could not find one. :( So I'm pretty heartbroken. So here's a couple gifs of green stuff to make up for it:
With St. Patrick's Day a week (and one day) away, it seemed proper to discuss it and all things green. Now, I'm going to have comments enabled for this one so that I can let you in on this one. But don't go crazy. :)
In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, the blog has been green-a-fied and will remain so until the 20th on which spring begins. If you're wondering why I put the picture in the post it's so I can see it later and remember it. Kinda a record of the blog's different looks:)
SO!!!
St. Patrick's Day
So how many of you have a mother or grandmother who will make you green food on St. Patrick's Day? *raises hand* Yes, green food is made at my house usually for breakfast. Green pancakes, cereal, etc. Sometimes, it's totally recognizable and sometimes it's. . . not. . .
(Yes I've never used this gif, but figured the perfect opportunity would eventually present itself and today it has)
Green also must be worn. . . OR ELSE.
The pinching will commence sometimes before you've gotten out of bed. I personally wear a bright green shirt to bed so I won't be attacked before I've eaten a proper green breakfast. Some unnamed members of my family and extended family will use excuses and claim that their underpants are green. And no one wants to make them prove that. But me, green head to toe and I usually will paint my face green just to be safe. I did Darth Maul face paint in green one year.
Lastly, my favorite "green character." A "green character" is a character that wears or is mostly green.
Drum roll. . . .
LINK!!!! From the Legend of Zelda video games. I just finished Ocarina of Time the other day and Just started Majora's Mask so wish me Link! I mean luck :)
Bob is a member of my family that only comes around during the winter. He refuses to come inside, and doesn't move when I'm looking at him. He slowly shrinks in size until he vanishes all together! I don't know where he lives the rest of the year, but he always comes back.
Was that too elaborate?
I make a snowman every year and name him Bob. Here's his latest incarnation:
I do not have 20-20 vision. And I hate it. 'Cause I like to be "that cool person." The one in a few people who's got this or that. I don't have 20-20 vision. But I do have 20-20 hearing.
I know what you're thinking, and yes, I am a lunatic. But ever since I realized I have great hearing, I've started boasting that I have 20-20 hearing. Most people laugh, some are punks and say, "That's not a thing!" And I honestly don't care what they think. 'Cause I know I'm ridiculously hilarious.
The point of all this is:
IT'S 2020!!!!!!!
YAYAYAYAY
So I figured I'd talk about something that has to do with 2020, such as my hearing. . .
Anyway. . .
I believe a wrap-up of this past year is in order, and yes I know it's February and most bloggers have already done this, but I do have a life thank you. So now I'm going to talk about the wonderful things that came from my 2019.
MUSIC:
This is a list of my favorite music at the end of this year. Some are long time favorites and others I just found this month.
Little Do You Know by Alex & Sierra
A sweet song I feel in love with this past month that I expect will be a favorite for years to come.
Show Yourself by Idina Menzel
Come on, can you blame me? Who didn't fall in love with Frozen music?
Let Her Go by Passenger
A very sweet song with a calming melody. I heard it on the show Heartland. It is sadly very not in my range, so please don't ever ask me to sing it. Hearts will break, so will glass. . .
The Legend of Ashitaka by Joe Hisiashi
It comes from a stunning soundtrack of the movie Princess Mononoke. I wouldn't recommend the movie due to violence, gore, some language, and strong supernatural elements; but it was an amazing story with powerful characters and life lessons. And the music. . . It was more than worth the $10 on Itunes (Since you can't really get it anywhere else except Amazon).
Lagos by Michiru Oshima
So soothing. I listen to this at night when I need to relax. It's also great to listen to on loop while writing. It comes from the movie Patema Inverted, another stellar movie and one that I can recommend. :) It's PG and only has one D word. Prepare to have your mind blown though! Me and my brother enjoy re-watching this movie yearly. Each time we catch something new, and it still hasn't lost all of it's original magic. And the music, again, is great. :)
Read All About It, Pt. III by Emeli Sandé
Heard this recently on a voice competition audition (ha, say that ten times fast!). At first I thought it was nice, then I started listening to it more and fell in love.
Kimi Dattara (If It Was You) by Happy Birthday
Japanese, I know. I personally love Japanese music, and could've put many more on this list, but this is probably my favorite. I don't entirely know what it all means, but it's almost prettier that way. Words without meaning are kind of cool, like it's just another instrument that doesn't add meaning, just some inflection to the tone of the song. Sorry that got really deep. . .
Hello by Lionel Richie
K, who doesn't love this song?! I originally heard it in Herbie Fully Loaded and it was love at first listen. I enjoy this song immensely and could listen to it on repeat for hours probably.
Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi
Whilst a very beautiful song, I enjoy listening to covers simply as a voice preference. I like the Nicole Cross or Lauren Spencer-Smith covers slightly better, but don't complain when the original comes on the radio.
I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor
This. Is by far. The swankiest song ever. And I love it. Thank you 80s.
Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) by Kelly Clarkson
Who didn't love this Kelly Clarkson hit? It was so catchy. It was on the radio once this last summer and it was like getting hit by a nostalgia brick.
Things That Came From 2019
(That I care about at least)
. . .
HAHAHAHA sorry. . .
(That ending right?!)
Not all in that order necessarily. And yes all of those were movies (or a place for us to watch movies).
Things I'm Excited 4 In 2020
(This was supposed to com out last August, then was pushed to February, and finally March)
(I mean, who isn't?)
(2, obviously)
. . . And that's about it really. . .
No I'm not excited for Black Widow, Wonder Woman, or Mulan (Sorry friend who's really excited for Mulan, I'll still go see it w/ you:})
A Summary Of My Interests & Favs.
(So when I'm like 150 I can look back and be like, oh yeah! That was totally my jam! (But kids in those days probably won't use jam in expressions anymore)
-My favorite movie is Star Wars, and always will be.
-My fav. character is Mara Jade.
-My 2nd fav. movie is How To Train Your Dragon (all of them in all their gloriousness)
-I enjoy drawing, painting (I recently got into markers), crochet, stamp making, beading, and just got a drawer thing w/ wheels to hold all my artsy needs)
-Music, obviously. I currently play guitar, piano, accordion, kalimba, ocarina (6 & 12 hole), shakers, cajon, and. . . I think that's it?
-I enjoy reading & writing.
-And costume/cosplay.
So, I mean, that's about it. I think. I mean, yeah. . .
I thought it might be fun to share a bit of what it's like to be an Enneagram 7 by telling you about my week! :)
For those of you who aren't familiar w/ 7s, here's a quick look at an average one:
So my past week started w/ a normal Sunday. Went to church, got ready for Monday.
Got gas on Monday, got ready for work, and hung out.
Worked all day Tues. & Wed., and did the children's group thing I do on Wed. nights. Now, at children's group, a 7 is alive, you see. I spent WAYYYYY too much energy.
Thurs. I worked all day (which is abnormal), and dropped by the church after to help with some Christmas decorations.
So then Fri. rolled around, and I was like: "I should get together w/ friends!" (My line of work doesn't involve much socializing, so doing things to socialize are important). So I ended up Christmas shopping all Friday evening and ate dinner out. When I got home I watched The Mandalorian:)
THEN, on Saturday, I went and saw Frozen II
w/ a different friend. I then came home, ate, changed into my giant Christmas sweater and pinned on battery-powered Christmas lights, and went to a Tree Lighting.
SO THEN TODAY!! (This Sunday). I went and got new shoes, and realized I was far too exhausted to do anything else.
SOOOOOOO.
The moral of this story is, 7s can easily over extend themselves :)
So anyway, that's a bit what it's like to be a 7.
♪Stanley Steamer gets carpets cleaner!♪
With Christmas around the corner, I have changed the background and overall color scheme to match the season. I will probably do this each month now to match the various holidays throughout the year. So here's what it looks like in full:
I will probably be posting projects related to X-mas this month. Like my snowman and the gifts I make.
Anyway:)
