General Stuff About Shipping...

[Before I begin this post, I think I should let you all know that I started watching Sherlock the other day. And I love it. Here, have a funny gif:
                                                                                                                               ]

Okay, onto the real topic
So, being in many fandoms, obviously, shipping is a thing.

 (If you don't know what shipping is at this point, you'd better run before it's too late...) I decided to share with you a guide to my own reactions to shipping.

How I Generally Feel About Shipping:

[source]
Though, that being said, I do have a couple that I like.
Exhibit A:


 


Okay, now that I have dumped my Doctor/Rose shipping on you, I will move on... ;)

Now, that is enough.
(shut up, I know that's three now)

Shipping I REALLY can't stand is when they do things like Johnlock, or Bilbo/Thorin, or RoseMary (even thought that is apparently canon at the moment), or Dave/John, or Frodo/Sam in ways that are <3. Then I'm just like..... *THROWS UP* ...99% of the time when this happens, that is NOT what the author wanted.


How I React When People Want to Talk to Me About Shipping:

 
 
 
How I React When People Try To Put ME in a Ship:
 







so, my advice to you is this: don't try it.

So...that's how I feel about shipping.

update...sort of...maybe a good bye... *sadness*

So...
One would think summer = more posting...
haha, not here... :P

Anyway, I have not posted for SO LONG....and I'm really sorry. Although, it does seem as though no one reads my posts anymore..
I have been busy, though....I went to Comic Con near my house and I was Rose Lalonde from Homestuck. And I had SO MUCH FUN!!!
Also got to Eleven in Doctor Who...which reminds me....

^That is Twelve....
Since I just reached Season 5, I just want David Tennant back..but I am sure Matt is really great, and Peter will be, too. (and no, I am not a David Tennany fangirl, I just love his part as the Doctor)

Working on so many cosplays and stuff...I wish I could talk about them all here, but I feel like I don't have the time....AND idk if anyone reads my stuff anymore... :(

So...if you do read this please let me know...I miss hearing from you guys...

And if you want to "visit me", you can here here and here. Also, please check out my friend's Youtube Channel here.


ALSO...so you don't get confused...I am changing my name here one last time to Elf, since the majority of my internet friends call me that...

3) Answer the 11 questions the person who nominated you asked.
4) Ask the people you tag to answer 11 questions.
5) Nominate 11 bloggers.

So...

11 Facts about myself:

1. My favourite genre is fantasy.

2. I love doing cosplay...I usually try to make my outfit each day something that resembles what a charater I like would wear. Or I support my fandoms by wearing fandom jewelry.

3. I have two cats.

4. I love to read.

5. I find it strange that most people live "normal lives" without fandoms....my fandoms are pretty much my life, and I have no idea how I would live without them.

6. I feel as though I have too many fandoms...but I love them all ♥

7. My favourite book is Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George

8. I generally try to avoid books/movies with lots of romance in them.

9. I admin a Facebook page with some of my friends (this one)

10. My friends are weird....and so am I...but we like it that way.

11. After Comic Con last weekend, I went to the mall in my costume.

Questions from Voronda:

1. Language/s You would like to learn?

--->Ummmm...Elvish from LOTR :)

2. Would you rather live on Hoth or Tatooine? For those who don't know Star Wars: North Pole or Sahara Desert?

--->Well, if it's Hoth or Tattooine, I think I'd take Tattooine...no one lives on Hoth, and they have Wampas that eat you. But, in real life-North Pole or Desert...I don't know...i don't like extremem weather conditions...

3. Something that made your day today?

--->Realizing that I don't have to deal with high school physics anymore.

4. If you weren't your currant nationality, and you had the choice to pick you nationality what would you choose or would you not change?

--->Not sure. I probably wouldn't change.

5. Do you have pierced ears or body part?

--->Nope. But I do seem to like this earring:


6. Coke or Pepsi or Root Beer?

--->Root Beer

7. What was your last dream about? All the itty-bitty details

--->I don't remember my last dream.

8. So you get to meet your favorite band/singer and spend a week with them. Who are they and what do you do when you first meet them and what do you do during the week?

--->Just one group?? Nope...I'm gonna say a bunch, sorry :)
      Piano Guys, Lindsey Stirling, John Williams. I'd probably go out to lunch dinner with them a lot, and just hang out, talk about their music, and music techniques and ideas. Give them suggestions for their next videos...learn how cool it was to make their videos...learn how awesome it was to be a part of the Star Wars Saga :D. Oh, and Lara and Taylor Davis, too.

9. Look out your window. What do you see?

--->Trees.

10. Which do you prefer to watch Sunset/Sunrise or Stars/Northern Lights?

--->Sunrise/Sunset is soooo pretty...so, that. :)

11. Your being cast as your favorite character from a book/movie/show/game etc., in the movie of said form of entertainment. Who are you?

--->Oh, I can't just say one! Haha... So...first, a Companion in Doctor Who. Tori from Slayers by C. J. Hill. Bonnie Silver from Dragons in Our Midst by Bryan Davis would be really cool. And I'd love to be in a Star Wars movie :D



AAAANNNNNDDDD...I have also been tagged by Solace Utara.

1. What movie are you looking forward to most this year?

--->The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

2. Opinion on Maroon 5, One Direction, Fun.,and Taylor Swift?

--->Never heard of Maroon 5. The only song I've heard from One Direction is What Makes You Beautiful, and I actually like it. (Friends: Don't hate me...) Fun...I think the only song I have heard from them is Some Nights. I like it, or at least Peter Hollens version. And Taylor Swift...I don't really like her music, or at least, the songs I've heard. (Example: We are Never Getting Back Together...ummm, okay...i don't really care...and if you hate him so much...why are you singing a song to him??) Oh, wait...I really like Begin Again--the Piano Guys version.

3. Describe your best friend.

--->Best friend? I don't really have one best friend. Except for my cat, Lilly, who is awsome :D. But, I can describe my friends. Well, we are all nerds, and geeks, and fangirls...stuff like that. TJR and Oblivion like to read as much as I do, and every one of the Outliers watches Doctor Who and awesome stuff like that. They keep dragging me into more fandoms...

4. What did you think/what are you expecting of Iron Man 3?

--->I haven't seen the first two, yet, but it looks really good...now I'm gonna have to see them...

5. Harry Potter or the Hunger Games or Percy Jackson? (It drove me mad to try to answer this one.)

--->Ummm...That's tough...I Ilike Percy Jackson, but it's not my favourite...The Hunger Games...well, I only really liked the first book, and I haven't yet seen the movie. And I'm not exactly allowed to read HArry Potter, but i still love it...so...I think I'll say Harry Potter...out of those three :)

6. How long have you been blogging?

7. Five main fandoms?

--->Star Wars, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Inheritance Cycle

--->Not sure...perhaps a writer...and I want to have a fencing/archery academy (more on that in some future post...)

10. How often do you swear?

--->Never

11. What is the object to the left of you?

--->The doorway to my kitchen

3. What is a favorite summer memory?

5. What is you preferred method of long-distance communication (phone, texting, skype, chat, etc)?

--->Probably chat on Facebook...

6. What is your favorite outfit?

--->My favourite outfit...one of mine, I'm guessing.... Well, probably one of my fandom t-shirts (like the one that says "The Girl Who Waited" or something like that...) and then my favourite pair of jeans.

7. Favorite mythical creature?

--->Dragon. Of course. Definately. If that's what you consider mythical...hehe

Second tag from Solace:

1) What advice would you give children today?

-->Pick your friends wisely, and don't be afraid to be who you are.

2) Whom do you consider to be the hero of our generation?

-->Not sure...I don't pay much attention to the famous people. But it would be someone who sets a good example and isn't afraid of what others think; someone who cares about who a person really is, rather than what they look like.

3) Have you ever saved someone's life?

-->Not that I am aware of.

 4) What was the last song you heard?

-->Fullmetal Alchemist theme

 5) Where do you go for advice?

-->My mother, or a friend that I trust.

 6) Which countries have you been to?

-->The U.S.

 7) Would you rather live without your favorite fandom or the internet?

--> WOW....that's a hard one. I feel like they both go together...I am active in my fandoms partly because of the internet...I can't answer this....

 8) What talent would you like to have?

-->I really want to learn how to play the violin.

 9) What is one thing you would like to change about the past?

-->Doing my homework sooner, so I didn't stay up so late...

-->Usually half of it goes to the bank, 10% to the church, and then the rest I use for books, costume accessories, etc.

 11) What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?

-->Not sure...I have done the zip-line at my camp...but they make that pretty safe...

Time for an update, I think....

Wow. I haven't been on blogger in forever. Sorry about that. I've been really busy lately.

One really good book I read while I was away is Erasing Time by C. J. Hill. Here's a quick summary: Twins Sheridan and Taylor are snatched out of their time and into the future. The scientist who took them were really looking for a genius man, but the machine seems to have messed up. Except, there is no way to get back to the past, and the scientists now want to erase the twins' memories. Can they escape this fate, and stop the men from taking anyone else from the past? And who can they trust?


Also saw the Incredibles for the first time...turns out that is just about the only Pixar movie I like...haha


I am now in Season 2 of Doctor Who...2 episodes away from the end...I am postponing Doomsday for as long as I can.


A couple of friends are trying to get me into Homestuck, but I am not so sure about that, yet...Nevertheless, I did end up cosplaying as Rose Lalonde from Homestuck on 16 June for Comic Con.
<--Obviously not the cosplay...that's just Rose from the web comic.

And finally, I have started watching Fullmetal Alchemist, the anime series.


So...how have you been, since I haven't been around to hear from y'all?

Watch Out For Marty McFly...and other random stuff

<-- my friend shared this on Facebook...and I was like NO. WAY!

Reading Mila 2.0 right now...AMAZING. That's all I have to say.
Apparently, it might be made into a TV series by ABC...SO EXCITED!!!

-Update on Doctor Who:
    I am now on Series 2. Last one I watched was the Christmas Invasion. And yep, I am still creeped out by The Empty Child...

-I am thinking about starting a Facebook page in addition to the one linked below at the bottom of this blog...anyone interested??

-Cosplay
    Comic-Con is coming up again for me...and I have some ideas...now i just need the time to start making them...
         1. Marth from Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros.
                          
             2. A dress inspired by the TARDIS...possibly to wear to a formal dinner...hehe...

            3. Wings. Both feathered and dragon wings.

So...I am going to be really buisy...hopefully...'cause if I'm not buisy, that means that none of this is getting done.

Oh, yeah...and I've been working on plans for my dream house. More on that later, perhaps.

And yes, when i finish making my costumes, I will post pictures.

2. Nights when I actually have free-time and can read or do something other than try to do my work on my computer which is too slow.
