12 Delights of Christmas Tag!

A little white ago, I was tagged by Miss March for this timely Christmas tag! Thankfully, I was able to get it done just before Christmas, so enjoy! (But first, scroll down to #7 for some Christmas music links to set the mood!) 


1.  A favorite Christmas tradition?

Hmmm...I think our church's annual Christmas Eve concert is a great tradition. It really puts me in the right mindset for Christmas Day, instead of focusing on the secular Christmas things like presents and parties -- of course I'm still thankful and I still enjoy those things, but having that church service the night before, full of Christmas hymns and the truth of Jesus' birth, really helps me not to get carried away in the world's way of celebrating. 

2.  Say it snowed at your domicile, would you prefer to go out or stay curled up inside?

Depends on the type of snow, you see...if it's fluffy, powdery, dry snow, then I love to get outside and just walk in it!! Especially if it's a cloudy, gray day -- the kind of snow where everything is silent, but your voice seems like it could carry a hundred miles, when everything is just a blank white sheet over the world is the BEST! But if it's too sunny and the snow is all soggy and wet, then nah, I'll stay inside, thank you very much! 

I took this picture a year or a few back...my favorite type of snow!

3.  Tea or hot chocolate?

At Christmastime? Hot chocolate, definitely. (But I do have some peppermint chocolate tea that's pretty tasty as well...) 

4.  Favorite Christmas colors (i.e. white, blue, silver, gold, red and green etc)?

Ooooh...tricky question. I really like the buffalo plaid/woodland Christmas theme, and that's half of how our home is currently decorated... but we are leaning more toward a red/gold/white theme, with plenty of evergreen sprigs around to liven things up! That scheme can include our old plaid stuff and incorporate lots more new things.


These are all, sadly, not mine...but they are the kind of "palette" I like to work with


5.  Favorite kind of Christmas cookie?

Very good question. I would say "all of the above," but that would kind of defeat the question...I really like gingerbread. I don't eat it often, but homemade ginger cookies are absolutely delicious. (Honestly, any homemade Christmas cookies are absolutely delicious...) 

Some cookies from last years' baking day with my in-laws! :) 


6.  How soon before Christmas do you decorate (more specifically, when does your tree go up)?

Anytime after Thanksgiving is fair game! I usually refuse to decorate until December 1st, but as long as Thanksgiving is over, it really just depends on when I feel like decorating. 

7.  Three favorite traditional Christmas carols?

    3. "What Child is This" (yes I know Miss March already chose this one, but it deserves to be chosen again!) 
    4. There are SO MANY MORE! But I shall limit myself. 

8.  A favorite Christmas song (i.e. something you might hear on the radio)?

"The Christmas Waltz" is a good one! I like a lot of classic, Sinatra-esque Christmas music, so this is probably my favorite rendition: 


9.  A favorite Christmas movie?

The Nativity Story. I know some people who debate about this one and whether it's really good or not, but I think the depiction of Mary and Joseph as such real and tangible people is really excellent. Maybe the theology isn't the greatest, but as far as "Bible movies" go, that one is by far my favorite. (But my other favorite is It's a Wonderful Life, if you were curious...) 

10.  Have you ever gone caroling?

Yes I have! I used to carol a lot with my family -- for a few years, we had a tradition of caroling for our immediate neighbors and handing them a plate of goodies. 

11.  Ice skating, sledding, skiing, or snow boarding?

Ice skating!!!!! I could skate for hours on end if someone let me...which reminds me, I need to get my skates sharpened! 

Also not me...but those skates are similar to my own. 

12.  Favorite Christmas feast dish?

I have a soft spot for sweet potatoes...which may sound weird, but it's true. I have always loved sweet potatoes/yams...so there you have it! 


Thanks again to Miss March for tagging me! Since I've been kind of out of the blogging loop, I don't know who has already been tagged and who has not, so I'm not going to officially tag anybody...but feel free to steal this! Consider yourself tagged if you would like to answer these, and let me know! :) 

Merry Christmas!!! 

The ski lodge gingerbread house that me and my husband made! :)

The Stationery Tag!

Hello Everyone!

As I am catching up on my blog posts, I remembered a tag that was forgotten! Quite a while back (like 9 months back, cough cough), the lovely Mem tagged me for the Stationery Tag !!!

Without further ado, I shall fill out the questions! (Sorry if the photos are a bit grainy, but I don't have a great camera on my phone...or a great camera, at all.) 



1. What's the most recent thing you've bought for your stash?

I think it would be these adorable little hedgehog notecards! I saw them in the store and just couldn't pass them up. :) 



2. What's your favorite notebook and favorite pencil/pen?

Oooh...tricky question...hmm...well, there are different types of favorites, ya know what I mean? But, overall, I think this notebook is my favorite. It's leather, very heavy and sturdy, and it's great for writing! I'll probably be able to fit a whole novel in it. 


As far as practical pens go, I really enjoy writing with TUL fine point black gel ink pens (these), but for the coolness factor, this one is my favorite! 

It's even got a little stand thingy!!


3. 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.)

I have not DIYed any notebooks or pens... :(  But I've been knitting lately, and I saw a pattern for a notebook with a knitted cover, so I might try that someday! 

4. Do you have any cute erasers? If you do, let's see them!

Sadly, I don't... :( But that doesn't mean I don't WANT them!!!!

5. What's the piece of stationery you have but don't use because it's too nice?

Technically not stationery...but this Pride and Prejudice pen set is something that I love to have in my collection but I'm too scared to use...I don't want to mess it up!! 



6. And finally, show us your full stationery collection. If you want, you can even include numbers.



Ta daa!!! This probably isn't my full stash, but it's what I could find. Now that I'm married, it's really difficult to distinguish between my husband's stuff and mine sometimes...not to mention that some of my old stuff is in storage, so I couldn't give you an exact number if I wanted to! But that's it! 

Anyhoo, thanks for bearing with my many-month-late post, Mem and everyone else! Since it was so late, I'm not tagging anybody, but I did enjoy this post! 

TTFN! :)

The Seven Questions Book Tag!

Hello all!

Well...I said before that I was behind, so prepare to see two tags within, if all goes as planned, a couple weeks! I hope everyone is doing well in this crazy world we live in...and since I'm suck inside, I figured that I'd better stop procrastinating and doing some blog work!

I'm also doing a group NaNoWriMo with my university writing class this month, and I'm about 20,000 words in to re-writing my novel! Woop woop!

Anyway, on to the tag. Natalie tagged me for the Seven Questions Book Tag quite a while back, and I'm just now getting to it! So here we go!



Preference: male or female main character?

Honestly, it depends on the story. Often, I find books with male protagonists to be better written for some reason??? I'm not sure why...but as long as the story is gripping and well done, I have no preference. If the MC is female, she needs to not be obnoxious....ya know what I mean? I love the protagonist Penelope from the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series; she's a great example of a good female MC. As far as male MCs go, I really like John Flanagan's style of male MC narration...(Ranger's Apprentice series) for some reason. 




Do you prefer colorful, attention grabbing book covers or simple, understated ones?

I usually prefer the more colorful ones?? Like, I have a great appreciation for antique, simple book covers, but I like those covers more on classics, like Dickens or Austen. For modern books, I like to see some color and excitement!

A character you'd like to have as your boss at work?

Minerva McGonagall!!! I have been re-reading (well, listening to the audiobooks) of the Harry Potter series and discovered that she is honestly one of the only respectable adult characters in the series. (I could go on a long tangent about the writing/plotting/and all issues of that series, but I still like it cause nostalgia and besides that's another post for another day.) 




Books-a-Million or Barnes & Noble?

I've never been to Books-a-Million, so...Barnes & Noble. Especially when I have gift cards! XD

Would you rather be gifted random "surprise" books from a friend, or a bookstore giftcard?

Ooooooh....I like both. But I think "surprise" books are better, usually. Because that means that someone put thought into the gift, thinking "oh, she'll like this book," and that makes me happy. :) 

What age range of characters do you generally like to read about? (For instance, would you rather read a book about a 17 year old or a 87 year old?)

I like any age as long as they are written well. Usually I read more stories about late teens/early adult characters, but I also appreciate stories about older adults as long as they aren't boring. 

What would you tell someone who defiantly proclaims: "I don't like reading! Why should I?"

I would look at them in disappointment and quietly end the conversation before walking away and never talking to them again. 




See...I've finally caught up! (Well somewhat that is.) I'm not going to tag anyone else, simply because I think this post is way too late to "get on the tag train," but feel free to steal it if you wish! 
Thank you once again to Natalie! :) 

And with that, I wish you a good day!

The Fantastical and Felicitous Character Blog Tag

Well, today I have another tag for you all!


I have been tagged by Natalie for this one, so thank you!! :) Let's dive right in...I'm eager to get this done because it's all about fictional characters...and I always love talking about them. :D

Rules:
•Answer every question honestly. 
•Use as many gifs and images as possible. *ehehehe*
•Incorporate at least one YouTube video with a favorite scene of a character.
•NO VAGUE ANSWERS ALLOWED. Explain why you chose that favorite character to fit that description. I love details, my friends.
•If you can’t choose just one, that’s okay – give us a few answers and geek out if that’s what it takes.
•Tag at least 3 people.
•Use fictional characters from any fictional story.
•If you get nominated and/or decide to participate in this tag, please put a link back to this post in your post and credit yours truly (Emily at The Altogether Unexpected, *whose original post is excellent*) as the creator.
•Have fun and obsess over fictional characters! 

*consults Pinterest, my bookshelf, and the furthest reaches of my movie-watching history*

Goody-two-shoes: A character who was just so morally good



Good old Mr. Knightley...he is such a GOOD person that the extent of his goodness is almost unrealistic, if you know what I mean. Of course, I still think he's a wonderful character. He is always watching out for everyone at once, but isn't afraid to give people what-for if they are being stupid. ("Badly done, Emma!") And when he dances with Harriet at the ball, when nobody else dances with her and she's so lonely....awwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heartbreaker: A character who made you cry?

I am ashamed to admit this, but Miguel and Mama Coco from Pixar's Coco made me sob like a BABY. It was so beautiful but also so heartbreaking, and I love it...the way he simply picks up the guitar and sings, and how she remembers it....*sobbing* It really hit home. 





*weeping*


Parrot: A character who won’t stop talking



Holdo (she doesn't even deserve the title of "admiral" or "vice-admiral") from The Last Jedi

Now, she doesn't talk and talk and talk in the sense that Sid the Sloth does. But when she DOES talk, she takes things way too far. She says the wrong things at the wrong time and refuses to tell people the right things, the things that would help their situation. For instance...had she told Poe what her real plan was, he wouldn't have gone gangsta on her. Instead, she insulted him to his face and told him to leave. So rude. 


Devilish: Your favorite villain

Aw yessss!! I enjoy well-written villains, and there are a plethora. Saruman, Loki, Iago...I know the original post had Iago, so I won't steal that, though.  And even though Loki is is Fantastic, I think I'm going to be a little bit unconventional and pick...Megamind. 




Now, I know that TECHNICALLY, Megamind turned good in the end..."he was just a silly and misunderstood person," you may say. 

However, hear me out:  at the beginning of the movie, he is breaking out of prison, where he is supposed to serve multiple life sentences. We aren't sure exactly what he has done, but things have been blown up, Roxanne Ritchie has been kidnapped many, many times, and everybody knows that Megamind is a terrible villain. As soon as their hero is gone, they stop treating him like a joke, and we see the city in terrible ruin after Megamind takes control. 

Therefore, he is, in fact, a villain - a SUPER one.




Love interest: A character who, if alive in reality, you would want to marry

Now, this is a tricky one. Before I answer, let me make it clear that I am married, have been since last July, and there is no fictional character EVER who I would choose over my dear husband, who is a fantastic individual and my favorite person. Not if I had a chance to make a character real would I choose another man to marry. 

So, with that being said...

I'm currently studying the movie Interstellar for a screenwriting class and falling more in love with the film every time I watch it or read the screenplay or do any research. Cooper (which is his last name but they never use his first, which is, we think, Joseph) is simply a wonderful character. He's not a simple character, but the way that he loves his children!!! *sniffs heavily* I know he's not a "conventional heartthrob," but I have a soft spot for characters who are good fathers and loyal husbands. Cooper wears his dead wife's wedding ring all throughout the movie, sacrifices himself to save his kids, and is a super intelligent, down-to-earth guy. 

(Quick side note...my actual, real husband is also a loyal, intelligent, down-to-earth guy....HMMMM)

Here are two of my favorite scenes from the movie to illustrate--the first one is just before he sets off on a mission in space to save the world. The second is when he has been in space for over 20 years (due to time relativity and wormholes, I won't get into it, but now he and his daughter are the same age galaxies apart) and now gets to see the messages collected for him. You can see his love for his children on his face, and it's heartbreaking. (his angry daughter calls him something rude in the second one, and I apologize for that) 




"I love you forever, you hear me? I love you forever...and I'm comin' back." 



Sidekick: A character who was always loyal no matter what


:) :) :) :) 

Honestly, John Watson is THE SWEETEST and most noble, loyal sidekick ever. Yes, he grumps about Sherlock and is often annoyed, but he's always there, ready to help out. And this isn't just in Sherlock (I just happen to like Martin Freeman's Watson the best of all the Watsons), this is in every (almost) iteration of John Watson I have seen: annoyed, frustrated, but still always there to give a selfless helping hand. I found this picture of Sherlock and Watson in Tim Burton-esque art, and I thought it was rather well done. 



Complicated: A character you love and hate



Jack Sparrow...mainly because of his moral ambiguity. I mean, he is a pirate...a criminal, thief, drunkard, womanizer...but then, in the end, he always turns around and does something unexpectedly kind and Good. Plus, he's just absolutely hilarious, quirky, and fun, and I do love characters like that. 



Queen: A female character who you admire and aspire to emulate



Minerva McGonagall!!!! She really is a fantastic person...one of the only really great characters in the Harry Potter series, honestly. She's clever, strong, confident, a good teacher, and, although stern, has a soft heart underneath a tough exterior. 

Plus, her snarky sarcasm is absolutely the best...I can only hope to be such a clever and revered old woman someday. 






Savior: A character who oddly reminds you of Christ

Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities. The end of the book is a beautiful one, worthy of a few shed tears. Now, the thing is, Sydney isn't a "good" person. In most of the book, he is one of the least Christ-like characters in the story. But at the very end, he demonstrates amazing sacrificial love for his friends, and through that he realizes the sacrifice that Jesus made to save him, which kind of brings Sydney to salvation and calls him out of his sinful nature, into peace that can only be found in Jesus. Even as Sydney is beheaded, marching to the guillotine, he has a praise in his heart for Jesus and is not ashamed or afraid to die for his friends. 


All right, that's that! Thanks again, Natalie! Now to tag three other people....

and
MiddleEarthMusician

Apparently, My Costume This Year Was Very Successful!


So, I have never posted a Halloween post before, but this year is a bit special! For one, MovieCritic over at Movies Meet Their Match is hosting a Blog Costume party, for which you can see the graphic up on my sidebar and another one to introduce this post! So, thanks to you, MC!!! :D

In past years, I haven't done much with Halloween, mainly because my family preferred to have a cookout in our backyard and then watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" by ourselves with our own candy rather than traipse around the neighborhood in the cold with small children...but this year, I was PREPARED. I had a costume pretty much all set - it's one I've done before but I've been perfecting over the past year or so. I also had a college professor who offered us extra credit for dressing up on Halloween. So, without further ado, here is my costume! (I apologize for the picture quality and size, but I didn't have anyone to be my photographer that day!)



Compared with Rey in The Force Awakens....




It's not quite perfect (I still can't figure out how to get arm wraps to work right!), but I think the hairstyle really helps! I even ended up winning our class costume contest out of maybe 10 people, so...that was cool.

First, I had a tunic made from a thrift store shirt and sewn-on bits of fabric I had lying around, some gray sports capris, a pair of gray boots and a belt, and a poncho that I borrowed from a cousin for the day! I also had a makeshift lightsaber made from a broken flashlight. With that, and my hair all done up, some makeup on, I daresay it turned out all right!




Anyway, that's that!!! Thanks for the blog party, MC! :)

The Sunshine Blogger Tag!




I'm assuming that the title of this post speaks for itself!! I have been tagged for this post by the lovely MiddleEarthMusician, and so let's get straight to the tag! 


1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link back to their blog so others can find them. 

Thanks so much, Mem! :D 

2. List the rules and display an award logo on your blog post.

3. Answer the 11 questions the blogger asked you. 

1. What is the most recent book that you finished?

I just last week finished a tiny novel by one of my creative writing professors...it was very interesting and moody...more of a "word study" than a "plottish" story, I would say. It left me with just several words revolving constantly in my head: mud, brother, fish, river, us...it was an intriguing read. I don't think I would like it if I didn't know the author, but being able to understand his "voice" (and I can totally imagine him reading it) really made the book interesting. It is called Good, Brother by Peter Markus. 




2. If you could pick any planet in our solar system to visit (besides Earth of course XP), what would it be?

Oooh...I want to go to Pluto. Now, now, why, you ask??? Simply because the poor planet has been denied the status of a planet!!!! How rude!!! I would like to support poor little Pluto.


3. What is your favorite mythical creature?

Dragons...yeah...


3. Would you rather own the Batmobile or the Invisible Jet?

I think that I would probably lose the Invisible Jet if I owned it, so the Batmobile is a better choice...


4. Pick a favorite literary quote.


I have many "favorite" literary quotes, but this is a very excellent one from The Hobbit


5. Favorite type of tree?

I have always had a strange affinity for Oak trees...no idea why. 



6. What is a book that you have heard tons about but haven’t read yet?

The Hunger Games books...I know, I know, they're practically AnCIeNt now...but I just have never had the desire to read them...*shrugs* 

7. Yoda or Gandalf.

Gandalf by a landslide!!! Not only is he way wiser and probably more helpful in a time of need, he also speaks regular English!!  XD



8. What is a favorite instrumental song of yours?

I really, really love this song by Phil Keaggy. Now, I know it's a "Christmas song," but how can you not love it?? It has such a great feel to it, and makes my heart happy and my foot tap. So...here ya go. 



9. What is an incredibly weird superpower that you would love to have (i.e. the ability to stop people from talking, the power to create instant cupcakes, the ability to talk to frogs)?

The power to always wake up feeling well-rested and not snooze my alarm clock seven times before I get up...'twould be an amazing thing to be able to get up (willingly) whenever was necessary and not have to set alarms for 30 minutes before I *actually* need to be up. 



10. Would you like to be able to balance grapes on your nose for an extended amount of time? (I’m curious, guys.)

Um, YES, absolutely!!! But even better would be the ability to stack grapes up into a tower...without them falling over. 

4. Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I'm not sure if I've got 11 for you, but I'll at least find a few. If you've already been tagged, done this before, or just don't feel like it...then no pressure!!! :) 

  1. MovieCritic at Movies Meet Their Match
  2. Rachel at A Girl's Place
  3. Ruth at Amongst Spring Blossoms
  4. R.M. at The Book Hound
  5. Natalie at Ramblings of a Redhead Girl
  6. Miss Woodhouse at Notes From a Hartfield Girl
  7. And last but not least, Josiah at The Eclectic Presby
(Haha, seven is good enough! :P) 


5. Ask the nominees 11 new questions. 

  1. Would you rather be able to run really fast (like, think Dash from The Incredibles) or swim like a fish (unable to breathe, but super fast and nimble)? 
  2. What is the most ridiculous bit of trivia that is floating in your brain right now? 
  3. What is the worst possible name to give your child? 
  4. What is your favorite smell? 
  5. If money wasn't an option, what kind of jewels would you adorn yourself with on a special occasion? 
  6. What song(s) especially compel you to sing along even if you don't know all the words? 
  7. What is your favorite classic Disney cartoon? (Or favorite cartoon in general)
  8. What would be a perfect weekend, in your opinion? 
  9. If you had a pseudonym (or if you had to change your present one), what would you call yourself?
  10. What is your favorite spot for reading, writing, or internet-ing in your house/apartment?
  11. And lastly: what is your opinion on cilantro? 
Well, thanks again very much Mem!!!! This was great fun. :D

The Star Wars Character Tag!!!




Well, as you can probably tell, this post is a filling out of the Star Wars Character Tag, for which I was tagged by the lovely MiddleEarthMusician a while ago! According to rule #4, the "Sorta Rule," I need to treat her to a pizza dinner at my favorite pizza chain, so here are some Lego stormtroopers delivering your dinner, Mem!!! 

(photo from Pinterest)

Now here we go! 

The rules…

1. THERE ARE NO RULES.
2. Refer To Number 1.
3. There is one absolute rule: You MUST use your own characters (OCs) for this tag. (Brownie points if you add pictures of your characters.)
4. The Sorta Rule: Scream a huge thank you to whoever tagged you for this whilst treating them to a pizza dinner at your favorite pizza chain. 
5. The Kinda Rule: Include This Link In The Post So That The Penny Can Read Everyone’s Answers To This Smol Strange Tag: https://asouthernbellewithstoriestotell.wordpress.com/2019/02/18/the-star-wars-character-tag-i-made-my-own-tag-halp/
6. The Rule That’s Not Really A Rule But It Would Be Great: Include The Graphic and Tag at Least Three Jedi or Sith Lords.



#1 Who’s your Obi-Wan Kenobi? (sassy, a great mentor, but can be a bit strict)

Lehye'ahl, I think...he's a little more of a jerk (okay, a LOT more of a jerk) than Obi-Wan, but  he's definitely sassy and strict. He would also be a great mentor (if he had anyone to mentor, that is, most of the people he could have mentored died, hehehehe). 





#2 Who’s your Leia Organa? (feisty, incredible comebacks, does their own thing)

Dehmatthir...he totally fits all of those categories.





#3 Who’s your Finn? (overeager, adorable, cinnamon roll)

Lutea Coggins (who I have a picture for but have not officially "cast" yet). She is a small person filled with the cheeriest personality ever and can also be TOO bubbly at times...however she will not hesitate to Fight You to defend her friends or family. 



#4 Who’s your Padme? (kind, loving, but also kickbutt)

Jorgen, a young and gentle dwarf who smiles a lot but has excellent skills. He hates fighting but does it when necessary, and is also a great cook.





#5 Who’s your Count Dooku? (deliciously evil, extra, and sick burns)

Well...I don't know...none of my villains really fit that category. None of my characters at ALL fit that category....*frowns* I need more villains, apparently. *making a note to work on that* 

#6 Who’s your BB-8? (too cute, everyone loves them, can do no wrong)

Darot...now, this little fellow experienced a great deal of emotional and psychological trauma at a young age and never really recovered from it (that sounds super insensitive and rude to say, but it's true). He has remained a living ray of sunshine and childlike happiness in all of his friends' lives. 




#7 Who’s your Yoda? (underestimated, extra, wise)

Amris...this elf...is too smart for his own good. He knows something about everything and is always ready with some sort of an answer for any question. 



#8 Who’s your Anakin Skywalker?  (bratty, rebellious, whiny)

Eyellyn. This character is a female dwarf who is somewhat the guardian and parent figure to her younger siblings. She can be extremely grumpy, rebellious, and isn't much for giving her companions explanations or information. She doesn't Whine so much as Complain, but you know, it's close enough. 



#9 Who’s your C3-PO? (always worrying, gives depressing information, constantly wailing)

Colderan, definitely! He doesn't MEAN to be a Nervous Nellie, but he has a very soft heart and doesn't want anyone to get hurt. This of course means that warnings come very often from him and he has to make sure that everyone knows the odds. 




#10 Who’s your Luke Skywalker? (hero, has been through a lot, has their share of flaws)

Prince Rhondin!! He is one of my favorite main characters, a young man who....well...he goes through a lot. But somehow he still stays cheerful and bright throughout it all. :) :) 



Bonus #11 which I have made up to add since my answer for #5 was pathetic: Who's your Han Solo? (calls people "kid," has traveled, "I'm making this up as I go" 
planning)

Ateke, who is an elf and a great friend (and brother-in-law) of the aforementioned Lehye'ahl. However, they are totally different personality-wise and it's kind of surprising that they get along...(oh also I've decided that he would be excellent played by Elijah Wood)



Well, that was fun! :D Thank you so much again, Mem!!!! Ah yes, and as far as tagging goes...hmmmmmmmmm....literally anybody who wants to do this tag. If you own a toy lightsaber, consider yourself tagged!!!!!
