Favorite Scene Starring Sage

Sooo... I actually meant to post this yesterday but I'm lazy and I forgot, so here's my favorite scene with Sage. I've never really done editing on it, so sorry if it's really bad...

“Hi, Sage.” Bryin said as he sat down. “How are you feeling?”

“Why are you inquiring about my health?” Sage asked with a confused glance at Bryin.

“Well,” Bryin said with a shrug, “because it’s what friends do.”

Sage frowned at this.

“What on Panin gave you the idea we were friends?”

            “I gave myself the idea. I decided we were friends right now.”

            “We are not friends,” Sage said shaking his head. “I do not have time for friends.”

“And why not?” Bryin asked with a small frown. “I mean I’m pretty busy too, doing… Um, stuff to avoid working, but I still have time for friends.”

Sage raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, well, I have actual work, that I intend to finish with, because unlike you, I am not a moron who believes that all orders are bad.”

“Alright,” Bryin said with a sigh, “first, I’m going to ignore that fact that you are calling me stupid once again. Secondly, I don’t believe orders are bad. And thirdly, you can work, and still have time for friends Sage. Friendship is about getting to know a person by talking to them, and learning to like them.”

“Friendship involves learning?” Sage asked, sounding slightly more interested.

Bryin nodded.

“Friendship involves a lot of learning. First you have to learn to like the person you’re talking with, and then you have to learn to like the things they’re interested in. See? Friendship is a lot more complicated than you thought, huh? Hm, maybe you’re not ready to figure out how to be friends…” Bryin said, patting Sage on the head. “It’s alright though, Sage. You’ll be ready when you’re older.”

Sage’s mouth gaped open and he crossed his arms.

“I am ready!” Sage insisted. “I am smarter than one hundred clones of you put together, so if you can figure out friendship, then I can master it!”

Bryin bite his lip as he tried to keep from grinning at Sage.

“Alright, if you say so.” Bryin said with a self-satisfied pleasure. “But first things first, Sage. You also have to learn not to insult your friends, even if they are complete idiots.”

“Oh,” said Sage with a small frown, “in that case, I apologize for the immaturity that led me to insult you multiple times. I assure you I will not let that be the case ever again.”

This time Bryin let himself grin.

“That’s a good goal, Sage,” Bryin said with a chuckle, “but don’t be so serious about all this. You’re so formal for a six year old. Loosen up a bit, kid.”

Sage stiffened at Bryin’s words.

“I am six years, six months and six days old…” Sage let his voice fade away as he received an almost disapproving glance from Bryin. “Am I doing something wrong?”

Bryin broke out in a smile, and shook his head.

“No, I just told you to loosen up, and then you went and did the complete opposite thing that I told you to do. That’s what I usually do. It’s my thing, okay Sage?” Bryin said teasingly. “I disobey the orders and you act super logical and cute. Don’t get those mixed up again.”

“Oh,” Sage replied seriously, “I apologize for forgetting my place. I shall try harder next time.”

“Sage, I was kidding!”              

Sage’s features contorted into a deep scowl as he thought about Bryin’s previous words.

“You know,” Sage said, shaking his head, “for one who dislikes orders to the extreme, you certainly are bossy.”

Bryin crossed his arms.

“Hey, what did I say about insulting people?”

Sage shrugged.

“I am not entirely sure, but I am almost positive that it was another order…” Sage slowly started grinning playfully, and Bryin realized Sage was just joking around like he had been only a few seconds ago.

“Well,” Bryin exclaimed happily, “I think we’re making progress!”

Tomorrow hopefully, I'll post the video.

A Look At Sage

So, probably on Friday I'll post the video of my sister and I discussing Sage. Until then I'll post a character interview, and a short scene or story involving him. Today is the interview.

INTERVIEW

Me: So before I say anything else, I might as well get it out of the way. Yes, Sage, I am your author. Yes, I do, or should know all of this, but you're going to tell me anyways for the sake of the readers. Understand?

Sage: Well, seeing as I am the character, how should I know if I understand? I believe only you can answer that question for me.

Me: Ugh. Sage, we're not doing this right now. I definitely know for a fact that you understand.

Sage: Oh? And how is it that you obtained this knowledge?

Me: What? What kind of a question is that? I'm the author and I created you, that's how.

Sage: Interesting... So what do you do when you are not busy writing?

Me: Um, well... A lot I guess... Hey! Wait a minute, I'm the one asking the questions, you don't get to turn this around on me. Now, what's your idea of perfect happiness?

Sage: Knowledge. People believe that knowledge is power, but I also believe that it can be happiness as well. That is why I intend to strive to know everything.

Me: What's your greatest fear?

Sage: I fear the lack of knowledge and injustice. Both problems could be solved rather easily, but I find that they are not. Why is that?

Me: I don't know, but you're still not the one who gets to ask me things. Where do you see yourself being in ten to twenty years?

Sage: I am currently six, and for the sake of simplicity I will just leave it at that. In ten years I will be sixteen for all those simpletons who cannot add properly. I see myself traveling Panin discovering things, but of course at sixteen I will most likely have already discovered at least ten things, and have become famous for them.

Me: Well... If you say so... So in general, how do you treat others?

Sage: I would like to think I treat everyone the same. I prefer to be firm, and possibly polite when the situation calls for it, but if it doesn't I don't mind sounding rude by saying something if it needs to be said.

Me: Who is the most important person in your life?

Sage: Well... I've never thought about it, but I guess that would be Bryin. He took me in and rescued me from slavery, and he calls me his brother even though we are not related by blood. I feel indebted to him in a way.

Me: Hmm... Name three things you're good at and three things you're bad at.

Sage: That is not a question, my dear author.

Me: I know that! Just tell me your answer anyways.

Sage: Fine, if you are going to be temperamental about it... I am great at being smart, researching things, and I am a fast learner. I am bad at... Being stupid. Honestly, I am quiet brilliant so I believe I would find it hard to be such a simpleton. And I do not have to list two other things because really I am amazing at most things.

Me: Riiighhht... So I think we'll end here...  Just because you're getting a big head...

END INTERVIEW

So, there's a little character interview on Sage! Next I'll be posting a short scene or something.

Something New...

Okaaaay! So, I'm going to try something new on here. I'm going to try and post every few days, the first day I'll post an interview with a specific character, then I'll post my favorite scene involving that character, and finally, maybe on Fridays, I'll post a video of my and one (or more) of my sisters discussing a certain main point concerning that character! Let me know what you think of the idea, or the video, or both!

So, today I'm going to post all three since it's already Friday. :) The interview comes first!

INTERVIEW

Me: This is an interview with, guess who.... Bryin! Pretty predictable, right? So you know the drill Bryin.

Bryin: There's a drill what drill?

Me: Ah, never mind. So first question, how old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?

Bryin: Ummm... I'm gonna go with anywhere from five to eight years old.

Me: And which is worse, failing or never trying?

Bryin: Failing is definitely worse. I mean, if you never try in the first place you'll never fail. Not to mention that I'd already know before trying that I would fail, so what's the point?

Me: So when it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

Bryin: Definitely. That's mainly because I love talking and I'm lazy. It's just so much easier to sit around and run my mouth all day then to go out for a run or something like that. Although, that might get boring after a while... Hmm...

Me: And since this is a longish post, I'm going to cut the interview short. Besides, most of who (Whoever you are...) Might already know who Bryin is anyways.

END

And here's one of my favorite scenes with Bryin.... I call it, "The Gummy Bear Scene".

"Bryin," Dawn said firmly, "How long have you been awake?"

            "Two days," Bryin said only slightly louder, "And today is the third day."

            Quest sighed.

            Dawn looked curiously towards Bryin.

            "What exactly do you think I said to you?" She asked him.

            "Maybe I was just hearing things," Bryin sighed, "but it sounded like someone said, 'Hello, Bryin' and since there's no one else around I figured you had said something." Bryin shook his head. "You both think I'm crazy because I haven't had any sleep, right?"

            Both Dawn and Quest nodded.

            "Maybe I am," Bryin admitted.

            "Bryin," Dawn said kindly, "You just need some sleep and you'll be fine. If you're hearing any more voices let us know, ok?"

            Bryin nodded, knowing if the voice came back, he would keep it to himself.

            Quest nodded to Dawn and Bryin that they should keep moving, and all three urged their foulexes on.

            Bryin went back to examining his dagger, trying not to think about sleep, or him slowly losing his mind because he refused to sleep.

            Bryin, came the female voice again. Bryin asked himself if it would make him even more crazy to respond. Shrugging, Bryin decided that didn't really matter at the moment.

            Hello, Bryin thought hesitantly.

            It's been a while since we've talked.

            It has been, Bryin agreed. He wasn't really sure he had talked to this voice before, but he was going to play along with it anyways.

            I know you think you're going insane, the voice told him.

            How do you know that?

            Because I can read your thoughts. I also know you lost your memories of Panin, so allow me to explain a few things.

            Ok, Bryin thought, wondering just what the voice would tell him.

            First, you may very well be going insane from lack of sleep, but you aren't imagining my voice.

            Bryin chuckled to himself. Now the voice inside his head was going to try and convince him it was real.

            If I were a voice in someone's head, Bryin thought as his mind started to wonder, I would probably try to convince them I was real too.

            Bryin! The voice snapped inside his head.

            What? Bryin responded confused.

            You aren't listening to me. I told you I'm not just some voice your mind fabricated because of sleep deprivation. I'm Takfin.

            Takfin? Didn't Quest say something about Takfin?

            Yes, the voice agreed, Quest gave you this dagger and its name is Takfin.

            That’s right, Bryin recalled, and what did you say about Takfin?

            I am Takfin.

            Bryin started laughing, which earned him strange glanced from Dawn and Quest.

            Bryin ignored their stares and continued to chuckle at the fact the imaginary voice inside his head was now trying to tell him she was the dagger in his hands.

            Look, Bryin thought as he stopped laughing, I know you don’t understand this because you’re just some voice I invented, but you’re not real. You are just the sort of thing I would think of to pull a joke on myself.

            The voice made a sound close to a sigh.

            Bryin, your logic doesn’t make any sense. As the voice said this, Bryin pictured the owner of the voice shaking her head. That image put a smile on his lips. I am Takfin, the voice went on, still trying to convince Bryin. It’s very possible for me to be speaking to you at the moment. That’s because I am a magical dagger, and among communicating with certain people, I have a few other abilities as well.

            “Uh huh,” Bryin said out loud, “of course you say all this is just because of magic, and I’ll just pretend I agree with you.”

            As Bryin talked to no one, Dawn glanced sadly towards him.

            Bryin nodded as he received more words from the disembodied voice.

            “Oh, don’t try to argue with me,” Bryin said shaking his head. “I already said I believed you.” Bryin tilted his head to the side and sighed as he listened to the voice in his head. “Ok, ok, I’ll take all of that into consideration, but I really don’t…” Bryin’s voice faded away as he shoved his hand into one of his jean pockets.

            Although Bryin was wearing a shirt from Panin, he still had on his favorite pair of jeans from Earth.

            “What have I got in my pocket?” Bryin asked absentmindedly to no one. Smiling, Bryin pulled out two gummy bears from his pocket. “Where did you two come from?” Bryin almost sighed with relief as he received no answer from the gummy bears. “Hey,” Bryin said looking off into the distance, as if that was the direction the voice came from, “I just thought of something.”

            Bryin waited for an answer and laughed when it came.

            “I don’t really know, I just thought it would be hilarious.” Bryin said grinning. “I mean what if gummy bears could talk to me?” Bryin took a breath and said in a deep English accent, “You, for your crimes against Gummiopolis, are here by sentenced to be… Sacrificed!” Bryin then switched to a squeaky voice. “No, please, not sacrifice. I didn’t mean it. Surly there must be another way!” Bryin made a serious face towards the red gummy bear in his hand. In the deep English accent, Bryin continued, “There is no other way! You shall be sacrificed.” Bryin then started chanting in a whisper. “Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.” Getting louder with each word Bryin lifted the gummy bear up to his mouth. “Sacrifice, Sacrifi-” Bryin stopped suddenly as he threw the piece of candy in his mouth, and before closing his mouth, made a small scream for the gummy bear.

            Bryin looked at the remaining green gummy bear. Smiling, he stuffed it into his pocket to save it for later. As he looked back up ahead of him, he realized Dawn and Quest weren’t there. Worriedly, he turned around to look behind him. Dawn and Quest had stopped while Bryin was executing the gummy.

            The two just sat on their foulexes exchanging knowing glances. As they turned their glances upon Bryin, they each took a deep breath.

            “Bryin,” Dawn said swinging off of Eve’s back, “Quest and I were just going to let this whole no sleep thing slide until tonight, but clearly you need sleep more than we realized.”

            Dawn walked over to the front of Bryin’s foulex and took the reins that were hanging loosely from one of Bryin’s hands.

            “We’ll lead your foulex,” Quest explained, “and you can try to get some rest. Really Bryin, you’re starting to worry us…I mean Dawn. She’s beginning to worry about you.”

            “Oh, Quest,” Dawn said frowning, “Quit playing around. You are just as freaked out by Bryin’s behavior as I am.”

            Quest shrugged and Dawn passed the reins to Bryin’s foulex to him. He tied the reins to Howler’s reins and Dawn hopped back onto Eve. As they continued to travel Bryin looked ahead awkwardly. He really wasn't going to try and sleep and now, all he could do was converse with the voice inside his mind or sit there bored. The boredom would very soon lead to him falling asleep, and sleep would lead to nightmares.

            Bryin leaned against his foulexes neck.

            "I'm not going to fall asleep," he whispered to himself.

            "I'm sure you won't," replied a deep voice.

            Bryin sat up and looked around. He looked first to Quest and Dawn. They couldn't have said anything because they were in one of their conversations full of gibberish. Frowning Bryin wondered if the voice inside his head had changed.

            Bryin, I haven't changed. The female voice told him.

            That rules out the voice in my head, Bryin thought to himself.

            "I can help you stay awake if you'd like." rumbled the voice again.

            Bryin looked around curiously. The voice wasn't coming from his mind, and from either of his companions, but no one else was around, unless…

            Bryin looked down at his foulex.      

            Lowly Bryin asked, "It wasn't  you who said something, was it?"

            "It was," the foulex answered him.

            Bryin didn't know whether to laugh, answer the animal, ignore it, or tell Quest and Dawn. He decided to go with the safest one.

            "I didn't know you could talk." Bryin said quietly, hoping Dawn and Quest wouldn't hear him.

            "Well I can't really, if you know what I mean." the foulex turned its head to grin at Bryin.

            Bryin smiled in return. Still smiling he shook his head.

            "Not really," Bryin replied confused. "Hey, do you have a name?"

            "Aye, I do," the foulex replied.

            Bryin waited for him to give his name and smiled wider as he used the word 'aye.'

            "The name's Bob." Bob said to Bryin.

            "Bob?" Bryin asked confused. "But that's an Earth name. I thought since you were an animal from Panin you would have a more exotic name."

            "Hey, don't look at me," Bob said frowning at Bryin, "You're the one imagining everything I'm saying, so since this whole thing is coming from your head, my name's Bob."

            "Oh, I guess that makes sense." Bryin said shrugging.

            "But just between you and me," Bob said in a whisper, "I like the name Fred better."

            Bryin only laughed at that. This was definitely coming from his head.

            "Bryin," Dawn said frowning, "You are supposed to be trying to sleep."

            "No," Bryin argued, "I'm supposed to be ignoring any orders you try to give me. I believe you are trying to order me to sleep, so I will now stay awake."

            Dawn just stared at Bryin with a look of unbelief.

            Sighing Quest said, "Look, this is for your own good. You have to sleep sometime, whether it's sooner or later. I would prefer it be sooner because I'm pretty sure you were just having a conversation with a foulex."           

            "I was not!" Bryin said indignantly. "I was having a conversation with Bob, who secretly wants to be a Fred."

            This time it was Quest's turn to be at a loss for words.

            "Fine," Dawn said finally. "Sleep, don't sleep, I don't care."

            "You don't care but I do." Bryin said with a frown. "I'm not sleeping."

            Both Dawn and Quest shook their heads and went back to talking hoping Bryin would just crash.

            Bryin studied them.

            What are they talking about? Bryin wondered.

            They seemed to be obsessed with him falling asleep. Were they plotting a way to make him sleep? Why did they want him to sleep? What did they want with him?

            Bryin thought quickly and came to a decision. He was not going to travel with these two.

            Looking from Dawn to Quest, Bryin made sure neither one was paying any attention to him and he slipped off his foulex. Landing on the soft purple grass with a thud, Bryin watched happily as the two continued to ride off without him.

            Bryin then frowned as they stopped.

            Without looking back, Quest called to him, "You didn't really think we wouldn't notice that, did you?" Shaking his head, Quest leaned over to Dawn and said something Bryin couldn't hear. Then Quest dismounted and walked over to Bryin.

            "What are you doing?" Bryin asked suspiciously. "You can't make me go with you. Unless, of course, you kidnap me. I highly doubt you'd do that though."

            Quest said nothing, but shrugged. As he continued to walk over to Bryin, he casually put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

            "What do you want?" Bryin asked getting nervous. "Stay away from me! Unless you have anything to say, I suggest you get back on your horse thingy and ride off, ok?"

            "Sorry," Quest said, "that's not going to work for me." Once Quest was close enough to reach out and touch Bryin, he pulled out his sword and jabbed its hilt into the side of Bryin's head. Dawn frowned slightly as Bryin crumpled to the ground.

            "Quest," She said leading all three of the foulexes over to Bryin and Quest, "You didn't tell me you were going to do that."

            "What?" Quest asked innocently. "He needed sleep right? Plus I don't think he would have come with us with the way he's thinking right now."

            Trying to hide a grin, Dawn said, "Well that's still not the way you should have done it."

            Hopping to the ground next to Quest, Dawn helped him get Bryin up onto Bob. Once they had made sure he wasn't going to fall off, they got on their own rides, and rode off.

Annnnd, the part I've been waiting for most... THE VIDEO OF ME!!! XD Just kidding. But seriously, here's the video. Warning, I might be acting weird, just because I am and this is usually how my sisters and I all interact minus the camera, so... Yeah. I'm Weird. Oh, and also most of the stuff we're talking about in the video is random so if it makes no sense... Oh, well. XD

So, what do you think? From what you know, does Bryin get off easy or no? Let me know in the comments! Next week I'll be showing you a look at Sage!

My Thoughts (By Bryin)

Hello, it's been quite along time hasn't it? My author never let's me do anything fun any more! She's always keeping me locked up in that book world of her, torturing me on occasion... That's... I don't think there's a way that could ever be fun. Ever.

But anyways, I came here with a certain topic on my mind which I have forgotten, and will now attempt to remember by rambling, because rambling always helps you remember everything, all the time. Actually, it's a fact that rambling boosts memory. At least I thought it was a fact... Okay, maybe it's a fact, but it hasn't been proven yet. Or, it's a proven fact, just not a scientifically proven fact. Ooor, it's a scenically... Oh! That's it! Science.

Okay, not exclusively science. More like school in general.

You might ask, why were you thinking about school, how did you come to want to share your thoughts on school, where did I leave that bag of gummy bears... Oh, wait, that last one was what I was asking myself. Gummy bears aside, my author informed us characters that she won't have as much time to work on our story due to the fact that she started school yesterday. (Not that she spends time actually writing anyways. If she ever tells you she works hard, and spends a lot of time on writing, don't believe her. She spends so much time procrastinating, if she made a character out of it, it would probably be her best one. But, I'm getting off topic.) Also... Where did I leave those gummy bears...?

Eh hem... So, school. That's what we're talking about now. Personally, I think school is a big waste of time. Why learn things at school when you could just go and experience the things you were learning about? Or, teachers could teach us things while we experience them. Although... I still don't think I would enjoy experiencing math, or English, or foreign languages. But science might be cool if things exploded. And for history, why don't we talk about the present because later, it will be history.

Not to mention, what's the point of this whole being graded thing? It's not as if you're going to be graded later in life, are you? Are you? I'm asking seriously now, because I'm not entirely sure if you are or not. If you are, that's just weird, and it should stop.

And really, what's the point of elementary school, middle school, and high school? I understand college since you're working up to something specific you hope to do one day, but why learn a whole bunch of useless stuff before that? I think it's pointless really.

But of course, my opinion doesn't matter. I could spend a good twenty minutes going over all of that, and explaining how I felt to my parents, and of course, they always respond by telling me how important education is, blah, blah, blah. And so they decide one way or another they're going to force me to do it.

Truthfully, I would rather be unschooled. It sound a lot more fun then school, or homeschool. You aren't forced to learn anything you don't want to, and you could basically do whatever you want all day.

Anyways, that's what I think about school. Not that you guys should care, because I'm not even sure I care, but I like talking-- Or typing random things on m author's blog. Speaking of my author, I should probably go now... That way I'll be prepared for when she sees this and comes to punish me just to entertain herself. It'll probably be in some short story, and it will amuse her a lot, but I probably won't enjoy it in the slightest... I hate being a character...

Another Tag

Eh hem... So it's kind of been awhile since my last blog post... And by awhile I mean a few months. I have no idea who actually reads my blog, buuuut I like posting for fun. Even if I'm only talking to myself, or one or two people. Anyways, I would post more, but I haven't been able to come up with something to post. So if anyone has any ideas as to what you would like to see on my blog, let me know! And if you don't have any ideas, that's fine to. I'm sure I'll come up with an idea eventually, or not, but... Oh well...

Oh! And one more off topic thing related to the whole blogging thing. If there's something, like a story or something that I started to post but never finished and you would like me to finish it, let me know about that too! I'm really forgetful, and I forgot about a lot of things that I posted on here.

Annnd now that I'm done rambling about that, time for some on topic rambling! Leilani has nominated me for the Liebster Award!

BTW, Leilani, I love answering these, so thanks for tagging me! It's a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to answering your questions!

 

The way it works:

1. Thank the person who nominated you
2. List 11 facts about yourself
3. Answer the 11 questions from the person who nominated you
4. Write 11 questions for the next person
5. Tag people.

So, first things first, the facts.
1. I have been into Anime lately.
2. Because of my obsession with anime, I've been drawing anime characters, and I now have been thinking about making my own Manga book, or anime show, although they would both take a lot of work.
3. At the moment I have no idea what I want to do when I get into to college, but it's between English, Business administration, Art, or Music. Or a combination of two of those.
4. I research things for fun when I'm bored or procrastinating. I have no idea why, but I actually really like researching things.
5. This summer I've developed terrible sleeping habits in where I stay up all night until around five in the morning sometimes, or I don't sleep until like ten that morning.
6. Apparently I don't like finishing things. I've been working on the last part of my fourth book for a few months now and at this point I have like two or three chapters left and I'm still not done. I just can't bring myself to type anything more then like ten words every week or something like that. I think I'm blaming my characters for it though, because that's easier then saying I'm lazy.
7. I've been thinking of starting an art blog, but I'm too lazy, and I'm not entirely sure if anyone would look at it. Sometimes I post things on here, but this is more of my writing blog, and I don't really want to mix the two. But... Yeah. Probably I might, but it depends on if I really think my drawings or whatever are okay-ish.
8. More often or not when I type stuff like this I feel like I ramble on and make no sense and my thoughts are probably really unorganized. Which, coincidentally, might be where Bryin got his 'randomness' from.
9. I am currently editing my first book, and one day I would love to publish it. Only problem is I really don't think highly of the first book, and as many times as I've tried, I can't even bring myself to reread it. Actually, I have trouble rereading most books.
10. Recently I have been playing guitar on my church worship team. I'm not really great at it, but I think I'm getting better. I've also thought about posting a recording of my singing and playing the guitar, but... That idea is kinda like the art blog one.
11. I have three Leopard Geckos. Their names are Toothless, Stormfly, and Hookfang. I actually had to rethink two of their names when I found out they were girls, but I still love them a lot! Annd, this is Toothless...

Now for the questions!
1. Do you like walking in the rain?
Yes, yes I do. XD Actually, I more like running around in the rain. Recently it's been raining here a lot, and almost every time my youngest sister and I go outside to run around and to see if the ditch beside our house will flood. For some reason it's really amusing when it turns into a mini river.

2. Have you ever been to a country other than the one you are born in?
Yep. A few years ago my older sister and I went to Mexico on a mission trip. I mainly worked in the kitchen serving the people who were going out into the community, but it was a lot of fun, and I discovered that I actually love working behind the scenes to help make things run.

3. Would you rather go to Narnia during the reign of the White Witch or go with Frodo and Sam on the journey to Mordor?
Ooh... That's a hard one. I think I'll choose Frodo and Sam, not because I think it will be safer or anything, but mainly because it would be cool to go to Middle Earth where there's dwarfs and Elves and stuff like that...

4. You've been offered a full meal of whatever fantasy-esque foods you like! What do you choose?
Umm... Well first I would choose the coffee like drink from my books, because it would be like the best coffee ever, and I like coffee. Annnnd.... *Cough* *Cough* I actually can't think of other food, so I'll cop out and either go with a meal from Panin, because I've always wondered what they eat, but I've been to lazy to make something up, oooor, I'll just stick with having nothing but coffee.

5. Guess what! You just found out that you've won a two-week trip to wherever you want to go! Where are you headed?
Panin... XD Okay, I might be slightly obsessed with wanting to go there, but I'm just really curious. But, for the sake of coming up with a real answer, I'm gonna say... (Considering fictional places are allowed) I would chose somewhere in Araluen from Ranger's Apprentice. Especially if I got to meet Halt or Will while I was there!

6. You get to the place and have been there for a few days when you accidentally fall into a portal and end up in the headquarters of your favorite book or movie villain. Where are you, and who's the villain?
It seriously took me a super long time to answer this one. >.< I discovered that I typically don't favor villains much... But, if this one counts, then my favorite villain would be Artemis Fowl from the first book. For some reason I just can't help but admire him, half hoping he changes, half hoping he succeeds. I would end up in Ireland, his headquarters being his house, Fowl Manner.

7. Most importantly, how do you escape, and what do you do once you've gotten out?
Hmm... I'm not sure I would want to escape. If I did I would probably ask him if I could leave considering I wouldn't be useful to him in the slightest, or I would ask to follow him in his adventures, because it would be awesome!

8. What's your favorite movie soundtrack? 
Weeellll.... I love a lot of movie soundtracks, but just because I'm going to say the Wreak-it-Ralph soundtrack for now. Or the Lord of the Rings. Or How To Train Your Dragon...

9. Would you rather go to Rivendell or Erebor? (Erebor is the Lonely Mountain, for anyone unsure.)
I would say Rivendell.

10. What would you do first in whichever place you chose for #9?
I would probably go exploring, because it would be super awesome to see everything there!

11. If you had to rename yourself, what name would you choose?
Ooh... Well if I did have to rename myself, I would choose... Okay. I had trouble answering this one too. XD And at this point I hope I never have to change my name. At some point I wanted my name to be Avalee (I think, anyways) so, I'll just leave my answer at that.


And now my own questions...
1. If you ever became a superhero, what would you want your powers to be?
2. Who would be your nemesis, and what is their power?
3. Do you like coffee or tea better? Why?
4. If you were suddenly whisked off to a fictional world and had to stay there the rest of your life, where would you hope to end up?
5. Do you prefer eBooks or actual books?
6. If you were stuck for life with any fictional character, who would you want it to be?
7. What's you favorite thing to do when you're bored?
8. What is your least favorite movie?
9. If you could learn to play one instrument, what would it be?
10. What is your least favorite food?
11. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Now, for the people I tag, which is easily the part where I fail pretty much every time...

And I think I'll stop there. So, yeah. That tags done, and don't forget about my random off topic rambling at the top of the post! Or do forget it... I probably will... :D

Happy Birthday, Bryin and Darvel!

So today is both Bryin and Darvel's birthday, and as I was thinking about it, I'm amused by the fact that since last year, both of these characters have changed a lot.

Darvel for example, was originally going to be Bryin's cousin. He was about seventeen while Bryin was fifteen, and I had been working on a mysterious backstory as to where his parents had disappeared to and why he was so angry. Then, before I had really written a lot about Darvel, an idea popped into my head and I discussed it with my sister who said it might be an interesting idea. The idea, of course, was to make Bryin and Darvel brothers, although as I seriously considered the idea for a few days, I realized the way I had set things up, there was only one possible way for them to be brothers. They had to be twins. And so instead of being seventeen, Darvel became fifteen like Bryin. And with Bryin being the older twin who got all of the attention from their parents, it gave Darvel a real reason to be hurt and angry. All in all, I like the way things turned out with him. Now if I only I could get him and Bryin to be friends, and I would be more than happy! XD

As for Bryin, in my opinion, he's grown a lot in the past year. If I'm right, story-wise since just last year, he's discovered his father, found out he could read minds, defeated evil aliens, adopted a brother, and now he's off adventuring with pirates... I know I'm Bryin's author, but I have no idea if I'm right by saying, Bryin has slowly started to become less childish. Even though he doesn't want to grow up and accept responsibility for certain things, and even though he's trying his hardest to stay childish and difficult, I have feeling circumstances as going to force him to change soon rather than later.

Now, as much as I find some of my other characters amusing as well, Bryin and Darvel are my all time favorites, and Bryin is my first character ever created for this series. I hope you guys like one if not both of them, and I know it's all up to me, but I hope they have a happy birthday! ;)

Ooh!! But I just got an idea for a short story. XD

Painting

Mmm... Not much of a post, here's a painting I. started a month ago and just barely got around to finishing it. My sisters think it sort of looks like an older version of my drawing of Katrina.
