Cordy's 100th POST!!!!!

It's here!! Crazily enough, I've tortured you with 100 posts!! And I mean, tortured. Sometimes, when I receive comments on older post, I will reread the post and find SOOOOO many typos. And for that I apologize. I do try and correct them when I find them...so there is that. *sorry shrug*

Now, as requested, some of you dear readers have asked me some questions that I will take the time to answer now. Thanks, for your readership and friendship!!

Natalie asks:

~What do you wish to do in your life, career wise? Do you plan on going to college? Do you hope to get married and start a family?
Ideally, I'd like to become a successful author. I believe I have it in me. I just have a/n enormous little smidgeon of fear that I'm battling on almost a daily basis. Lame, fear is. ;)
Um, I'm not currently looking at college. Haven't since I graduated high school. 
Yes. But you know, that may not be in the cards for me for awhile. Sometimes I feel a lot like this:


I do have to wonder, why this is a TEENAGER post...maybe you should be
out of your teens before you're looking for your Prince Charming...

~If you could go to a party hosted by a fictional character, which fictional character would you like to host the party?
Ha, I wish I could say Bilbo's birthday party but you see, I might have said I would have to dance a jig if I were there. Soo, *scraping some idea together* OH! Daphne Reynolds (from What a Girl Wants. :) Really, cool question!

~Would you rather be a librarian or work in a bookshop?
Bookshop, I think. Libraries might be overly quiet for me.

~Three of your favorite foods?
Sushi, Mangos, Chocolate. (NOT altogether!! :P)

~What is one of your happiest memories?
I don't do well with questions like these because--how in the world do you choose your happiest, you know? Would it work if I tell you one that makes me laugh my head off anytime I think of it? I don't know if you'll like it or not, but here goes nothin'.

Once upon a time, we had an inflatable pool in our front yard that unfortunately was left unattended for far too long. Well, the time came for it's removal, as it was beyond the point of rescue, for reasons unusually, and exceedingly peculiar, and altogether quite impossible to describe, my younger brother and I were assigned to dispose of the evil smelling devil.

This was several years back now and I couldn't help thinking at the time that:

But there was my brother to think about. If this wasn't going to be my cup of tea, that was nothing to what he was thinking about the task. So I just had to think calmly and rationally about the whole... ANDHURRYITUP!!! 



Deep breathing all around.

The smell of the rotting pool, that had undoubtedly been used for animal pool parties without our knowledge, greeted us as we approached and our reactions were mixed to say the very least. I tried to laugh, choking on the smell in the process while my brother was decidedly gagging. 

We had dragged the garbage can across our impressive yard so there would be very little fighting lifting that would need to be done. We had calmed ourselves, talked ourselves into the needed steps, and then. . .it proved all for nothing! In less than a moment, we had touched the pool, found it to be impossibly and indescribably slimy, and pulled away feeling less optimistic than before and more gagging ensued.

Okay--so, THAT wasn't going to work and we had to start all over in the mental preparation all while trying to ignore the lingering smell that was now on our hands. It HONESTLY, took us maybe an hour to be rid of this pool. We would overcome one of the vile obstacle, first the smell, then the slime, and the water splashing us only to be faced with the spiders, snakes, and lizard's heads underneath the rotting thing. (Not really, only tons of spiders and worms.)

After we had stuff the heinous thing into the can we were released to go and shower off. I showered maybe three times to try and get the smell off while my brother confessed to showering twice himself. Why, would this be a happy memory? Because of the extreme bonding time with my brother, naturally!! Hahaha. To this day, we, neither of us, have smelled anything so vile in our lives nor preformed a more disgusting task and yet we will laugh at the memory every time. :D 

~Would you rather live in a fictional world or a real (past) era in history?
Oh, my, I can't be sure... I'd really like to go to Middle Earth. The past might be fun, but I don't know if I would get bored.

~What was the last thing that made you laugh recently?
My sister and I doing yoga together...yup, we're not pros. Not even close!

~Favorite childhood toy?
I went through a phase where I seemed to collect stuffed dogs and I would name them after the people who gave them to me. Therefore, I had a golden retriever with a red velvet scarf that went by the name Grandma. :) I still love her!

Miss March asks:

1. Do you prefer living in the country or in the city?
Country. Barton Cottage, anyone?

2. What type of stories do you normally write: fantasy, adventure, romance, ordinary everyday life, etc.?
Umm, I've dabbled in them all, really, well, except horror. No. Thank. You. :P But, I like to write ordinary everyday life, as you put it because I like the study of people. . . . In a very non-creepy way. Haha.

3. Do you tend to write historical or modern day stories?
I've attempted more historical but I'm transitioning to modern day. Look at me dodging these questions without even meaning too.


Hey, look! It's me trying to write.

4. Are you a night owl or an early bird...or both? ;)
NIGHT OWL!! ONLY!! Hahaha.

5. Do you ever think up names that you would like to name your children someday? What kind of names do you like?
I actually don't think of names for my kids. I might at random, when I'm talking with my sister. (As in, I'll wait to hear the names she's thinking of and I, out of the blue, want them too. Hehehe.) Here are a few names I like though:
Tatiana, Natasha, Chapel, Haven, Elliana, Lovisa
As you can see, I have a strange kind of style and these are mostly names I would like for characters--not for my future kids.

6. Who is one of the most annoying heroes (or heroines) you've ever come across in a book or movie? (Not that he's supposed to be annoying, but just that he annoys you, for some reason.)
Catherine Morland, Captain Wentworth...annnnd, I'm kind of drawing a blank.  
I also can't stand characters that wallow in self-pity if there is no actual problem with them. I really had to consider this because, if I don't like the main characters I stop reading the book/watching the movie, and they leave my mind.

7. Have you ever dyed your hair, or would you ever consider doing so? What color would you go for if you did?
I've never died my hair because I'm scared, petrified of the idea. What if I don't like it?? O_O But if I were ever to be seized by a fit of either madness or adventure, I'd go with black or red. Don't ask me why, because I can't tell you. 

8. Are you one of the goofier members of your family, or do you tend to be the proper, more serious type?
In what situation? Hmm, this is a problem... Okay, here's the thing, if I feel like the situation might need a little humor I might be the goofy one. But if someone is already on the job, I might be the one reining them in. So, a little of both? I'll just read the situation and play it accordingly. Maybe if I say, I can be goofy, is that what you're asking? :D

Rae ask, sort of:
Rae tagged me while I was working on this post and so I thought, why not add more questions to an already long post full of questions? <<That there, is ONE wordy sentence. Wow. :P

1. Do you love L. M. Montgomery?
Yes, ish. I really, really, like Anne. But I'm having a hard time enjoying her other books.

2. How long have you been blogging?
Um, weelll, I had a private blog through my teen years but for this blog, about two years. But I opened it to the public less than a year ago.

3. What are your top 5 hobbies (number can be variable)?
(Not really in order here.)
1. Writing for my blog (I would say writing in general but I'm trying to make that my job, not my hobby.)
2. Reading
3. Embroidery, it makes me feel old-fashioned. :D
4. Coloring. Like, in coloring books. My mom just got me a great 50s fashion one that I can't wait to start coloring. It's a simple but calming hobby.
5. Photography and photo-editing.

4. What's your favourite fruit?
Haha, mangos. I could eat mangos like some people eat apples. Or strawberries, I like strawberries.

5.  What's your favourite holiday?
Hmmm, *smile with contented sigh* Christmas. :)

Alright then, I think you made it. Thanks for the questions, my friends!!If any of these questions struck your fancy, I'd love to read your answers in the comments. In the meanwhile, here is Frank to sign off for me. :D

His proud little face at the end makes me so happy. He's so goofy. :D

Yours truly,

Cordy
