Blog Party for Inspire!

There is a party going on with Farmgirl Writes, Living on Literary Lane, and Inspire! The goal is to get Stella more followers over at Inspire, and she is having a huge giveaway to do it!



If you go over and choose to follow, then answer the tag and link up, you are entered to win quite a variety of gifts. Stella's blog is lovely, and she also has two other design blogs, if you want to check those out :).

1. If you had to choose between living on a desert island or tropical rainforest for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
I'd have to go with tropical rainforest… even though I would hate the mosquitoes and humidity, I'd probably live longer than if I was left without water in the heat… actually, I'd probably die in EITHER environment! So… neither? LOL...
2. What is your favorite music CD right now?
At the moment, I'm revisiting an old favorite-Unbreakable, by Fireflight-which I hadn't listened to in a while until just a few nights ago. I love the lyrics to those songs… might have to post on a couple of them sometime.
3. If you were given the choice between wildflowers or roses - which would you pick?
It depends on the occasion… I don't really know, I mean, if someone was sweet enough to get me flowers I'm not sure I'd care what kind they were!
4. How much do you like notebooks? Is it mild, or are you absolutely obsessed with them?
Used to be obsessed, but now I just mildly like them… it is because I'm not writing as much, unfortunately!
5. What is your biggest goal this winter?
Get flipping caught up with my homework, enjoy my birthday, clean my room, enjoy Christmas, get my Google Reader EMPTY and deal with my 60 unread emails, try to lay down the burdens I have placed upon myself, talk to my friends as much as possible, and start posting regularly! And oh yeah, MORE college applications!
6. If you could change your hair however you wanted, what would you do?
FUN question. Shorter, definitely, and with the front right section dark, dark purple (demi-permanent, of course-I wouldn’t want permanent, just for fun).
7. Do you think Harry Potter is bad?
Allow me to quote Dumbledore on this one, "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.". My mother was hesitant because the series is dark-there is definitely a dose of evil, and the series involves wizardry. But Harry Potter is NOT bad. The fact of the matter is, there is evil everywhere, right outside our own front doors. What is important about the series is that the main characters fight for justice and good and hope no matter what-in the face of the worst terrors their world holds they stick together and value friendship and love above all else. Yes, those characters have powers that we do not, but it isn't the magic that is important-it is the choices that those characters make.
8. Why do you think pink is a girls' color?
Because society is brutal and demands macho-ness from it's male members, or they are mocked into questioning their manliness. At least, that is how it was when I was little, but society is constantly changing form like a boggart so I can't swear to you now :).
9. Would you be up to singing a solo in front of a thousand people?
After a couple years of vocal lessons, SURE! XD
10. What colors look best on you?
Eggplant is the best, and then probably olive… though I wear a lot of black. I have hazel eyes, and shades of purple and green really make them pop.
11. If you had a different name, what would it be?
I… don't know. I AM Elizabeth. My first name just seems an inseparable part of my identity at this point… I guess after almost 18 years, I'm used to it!
12. Do you like...
boots or sneakers?
My two favorite pairs of shoes are my converse and my black boots. I refuse to decide!!!
flats or heels?
Heels-definitely. I'm actually more comfortable in them, because I have really high arches and they tend to support my feet better.
books or movies?
Both.
purple or pink?
Purple, always purple.
long hair or short hair?
Depends on the person's head.
a best friend or a group of friends?
I have a very small group of best friends, which is pretty awesome ^_^.
ice cream or cake?
"Ice cream... always has been, always will be"-I agree with Amanda 100%
plaid or polka dots?
Plaid… I've always disliked wearing dots… I don’t know why, but I do :).

If you actually read this-wow! Three tags in a row and you're still reading? You're too kind :). I love you guys, and will begin posting normally asap :). Thanks for everything,

You made me laugh when you said "depends on the person's head". :D :D :D
 
I remember when Harry Potter first came out and everyone was like, "OMG! WITCHCRAFT!" like JK Rowling was suggesting that everyone should start hexing each other or something. My mom read the first book to see what all the fuss was about, and once she realized how tame it was she let my sister and I read them. I've read all 7 at least twice and I LOVE them. I don't believe in witches, wizards, witchcraft, or magic, but I also don't believe in fairies or unicorns and I read books about those when I was little, too.
So I'm glad you don't think Harry Potter is bad! lol. Everyone I've ever met that doesn't like them has never even read them. ha!
 
@Shaynie-Haha, it does! :D. Glad it made you laugh, though! XD

@Leanna-I know what you mean. My mom was very much against the books originally, and even after the first movies came out(which she enjoyed and let us watch) she was very wary. She had heard that the books were more specific with spells and were much darker, and I don't really argue with my mom about certain things-I wait until she's gotten more comfortable with an idea to explain myself, because I know she only makes certain rules because she cares. Also, her vision makes it impossible for her to read very much (the words float off of the page and cross over each other), so she wasn't able to see for herself. It wasn't until 8th or 9th grade that I sat down and asked her to trust my judgment, explained that I had several Christian friends who said that the books actually had really great messages, and promised that if they got too dark or I thought they were immoral I'd put them down. I absolutely INHALED the series-I read each of them in less than a day except Goblet of Fire (I don’t know why, but that one just dragged to me, and took four days), and read the last two books in one VERY emotional day :D. That series is actually one of my favorites!!! I'm glad that you like the series too :D!
 
You ARE Elizabeth. Heh.

My mom forbade me from reading Harry Potter when I lived with her. I always used to say that I wasn't going to emulate Harry Potter anymore than I'm going to don a Superman costume and try to leap a building in a single bound.

Ridiculous.
 
@Aaron-Lol, yes, yes I am!
Ugh, I understand. My mom thought the fact that I had a great imagination would lead to me trying to cast spells... which of course, freaked her out. It is definitely ridiculous… sorry you had to deal with that :-P. Have you read them since then?
 
I've read up to the... fourth one, I think. I think it was the fact that they were forbidden that made them attractive to me, not the actual storyline.
