The "Four Fictional Characters" tag

The "Four Fictional Characters" tag

(From Olivia at "Meanwhile in Rivendell")

Rules:

1. Link back to the person who tagged you

2. List four fictional characters (use pictures if you want! They can be from movies or books) and, if you like, describe what they're like and why you believe they relate to you

3. Tag a few other blog people! Three, or four, or even twenty. :) Share the fun! Be sure to let them know you've tagged them!

Okay, so here we go: 

 Number 1. Jo March

I've always been told that I'm a lot like Jo. For one, people (mainly my brothers) have commented on how 'tomboyish' I can be at times, and I find it easy to get along with (most) of my brothers' friends. I'm the second oldest as well, in my family, along with being a writer who wants to do something that people won't forget after I'm dead. There are just several personality similarities that are hard to describe but are definitely present. 

Also, I have a LOT of hair! If you've seen this version of "Little Women," that scene where Mrs. March is braiding Jo's hair is basically me. I actually did have it cut short once, but not to help anybody in a war. Just to get it cut. I also hate socializing much, and would much rather hide in a side room with one other like-minded person than mingle with lots of people. 

Number 2. Peregrin Took

I couldn't pick just one picture! :) So, yes, I feel that I can relate to Pippin. I know exactly that feeling after he drops the skeleton/bucket/other stuff down the well.  When you drop a milk carton in the checkout aisle of the grocery store and it explodes--there is a brief moment of silence as if everyone is thinking, "what just happened?" and then some laugh, some groan and roll their eyes, and you just stand there in shock feeling like the most foolish person to ever live, still not totally sure how that had happened. 

Both Pippin and I tend to blurt things out before we think about it or really even realize what we're saying, which leads to saying really, really dumb things at the worst possible times. We also both love food. Food is the best! I haven't ever stolen any vegetables from Farmer Maggot, but I do scour the backyard for black raspberries in the summer and grow some vegetables in my grandpa's garden. I always eat far too much dessert, which always reminds me of the "Lembas" sketch in LOTR! I don't know if this is really a "Pippin" thing to do, but I can be rather slow to get jokes or puns. Also, SOME PEOPLE think I talk like him! I DON'T! Not really. I am not Scottish (well, maybe a very small bit of Scotch-Irish blood on my father's side), and so it makes no sense that I would have a Scottish accent.  

Number 3. Henrietta Willis (from the book series "100 Cupboards")

As of yet there is no movie, but I'm hoping there will be soon!

Probably most of you have no idea who Henrietta Willis is. That's okay, it's what I'm here for! She is the cousin of the main character in 100 Cupboards, who helps him--well, I'll let you read the book to figure that out. I feel like Henrietta and I are kindred spirits. We both have two sisters (though in different orders of age) and again, lots of curly brown hair. And when we find a secret door, we immediately want to explore it. Hey, let's open it up and see what's inside! Probably something magic or at least really old or cool!

Henrietta and I both care about other people, but have an aversion to showing much of that love for our family/friends in public. When something bad happens to others, it hurts us more than we would like to let on about, and we both hate crying. Crying is the stupidest thing ever. We both enjoy adventure, or at least the idea of it. We like to be strong and able to take care of ourselves and others but not be feminists. 

Number 4. Emmet Brickowski

Emmet (from "The Lego Movie") is amazing! I think he and I share a lot of characteristics. For one, "I never have any ideas." Also, "Just tell me exactly what to do and how to do it." Pretty much the story of my life. We are both reluctant to step up into a leadership position unless absolutely necessary, and can be very silly and ignorant at times. We are both creatures of habit, with a routine that must be followed every day. (Usually.) And we are both rather silly, somewhat carefree people. I just feel that whenever I watch that movie I can relate most to Emmet,  not Batman or anyone else more popular (arguably). And plus, his workout routine is pretty much all I can do. "One!...Two!...Three!..." :D

Thank you for the lovely tag Olivia! That was such fun! Now to be boldly extroverted and tag  other people! ;)

The Very First Post: Exciting News!

Well, this is my Very First Post. Ever. In the history of anything. Due to this fact, you'll have to forgive me if I'm extremely too verbose and rambly. I tend to be like that on paper, though in person I'm not--I can think of things to say much more easily when I'm sitting at my own leisure.

Anyhoo, if you read the "About the Author" page, you'll know that I like very much to write, and this Very First Post is to celebrate the Very First Time that I've written anything here!

I know this is a short post. But what else is there to be said? More news is to follow (even if you don't want it), and I hope that this blog thing (I seriously have no idea what I'm doing) works out okay.
