Hi! I found one of your posts on Tumblr talking about Graceling! I LOVE those books! Have you read Bitterblue yet? If so, what were your thoughts? I just finished it. =)

I actually don’t have it yet. I pre-ordered it back in March, but for whatever reason, amazon didn’t ship it until late last week. I’m pretty pissed about it, actually, I think I’m going to complain. I want my book dammit!

I talked to someone that got an advanced copy, though, and heard it’s great.

Uhm... let me think about that one for a while and I'll get back to you! But all I've purchased was great, so I'd probably just recommend you everything I've ever purchased, ;)

What have you bought? I’m really interested in the Prtland Hipstapak and the Mission Hipstapak.

This will be my first time in Scotland. I had originally planned to just visit a friend in Glasgow and spend two nights in Edinburgh afterwards, but then I bought a guide and spoke to people and realized how easy and (relatively) inexpensive it is to get around, so I ended up booking everything. :D

Edinburgh is seriously the most amazing city. I skipped a train back to London that I spent 70£ on just so I could spend one more day there. I want to live there someday! And yeah, I stayed in hostels and it was so cheap!

I can’t remember if you said when you are going in your post?

I love unpopular opinions too! Oooh, it's so hard to pick. How about anything that comes to mind for 1-6? Lol, is that too much? I feel like I'm always underwhelmed by people/things/shows everyone else seem to love.

Of course it’s not too much! I just answered 4 and 5, so here are 1-3 and 6.

1. A selection of television programs you do not care for. Well, there are some shows a lot of people I know like that I’m just really not interested in, like Sherlock, Dr. Who, Skins, the one with the dude with curly hair that looks like it takes place in a prison half the time… I can’t remember what it’s called. I think it’s a British show. Also, One Tree Hill.

2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for. Oh, a lot. I don’t really enjoy Mumford & Sons, Green Day, Blink 182, I prefer covers of Beatles songs to the originals (I know that’s like, blasphemy, but it’s just how I feel), same with Michael Jackson songs…

3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about. Oh my gosh, I am so tired of hearing about William and Kate. Also, all of the Kardashians, the stars of Jersey Shore…and I’m pretty bored of Brad and Angelina, too. There are definitely others on that list.

6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else hated. I really enjoyed learning Geography and I loved Chemistry. Everyone else hated Chemistry because our teacher couldn’t relay the information on a high school level very well, but I always got 117’s on the exams. I also loved reading the novels assigned to us in English class because my high school English teacher had surprisingly good taste in novels for a teacher.

I had most of these answered a few days ago, and then something happened and it all got erased and I was too lazy and annoyed to re-type it all until now. So. Unpopular opinions meme time.

4. A hobby you “don’t get”. Well, I don’t get things like stamp collecting and stuff like that… and, like. Yodeling. I don’t really know what else, haha.

5. A habit you find disgusting. I know I had a few answers for this one, but all I can remember is clipping toenails in places that aren’t the bathroom. Oh, and cleaning hairbrushes into places that aren’t the trash bin, because loose hairs gross me out.

12. Television programs you love but have gotten shit for liking. I think mostly just American Idol? I don’t want it anymore, though. Oh, and Glee. Definitely Glee.

14. A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bother you over/make fun of. I think my hobbies are pretty basic… reading, photography, painting, etc. No one has ever made fun of me for those because they’re pretty universal.

19. A celebrity crush that maybe even you don’t understand. Is it asking me if I have any embarrassing crushes, or if I don’t understand a celeb that other people crush on? I’ll just answer both.

  • I have really embarrassing crushes on Nick Jonas, Sterling Knight (Disney channel star with a really stupid name), Ross Gellar (from Friends - I don’t really care about David Schwimmer though I just love Ross so much!), and Demi Lovato. Shut up.
  • I really don’t see the appeal of Kat Dennings, Natalie Portman (I think her head is too big for her body and she sounds like she’s twelve), Bradley Cooper…. there are definitely others but I’m drawing a blank right now.

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

Nice sequence! :D

1.  My top 10 favorite bands. Top ten…. okay, let’s see. I’m warning you, I have the cheesiest taste in music! Also, I am including artists with bands. In no particular order:

Keane, Phantom Planet, Mayday Parade, Backstreet Boys (THAT’S RIGHT, DON’T JUDGE), Empires, Lovedrug  (Michael Shepard has such a cool voice), Bon Jovi, Matt Hires, Frou Frou/Imogen Heap, and Thirty Seconds to Mars, I guess.

Honorable mention: The Black Keys, Mat Kearney, and Ok Go.

3. My top ten favorite songs. Oh gosh, this one is hard. Also cheesy and in no particular order:

  1. Mayday Parade - Champagne’s for Celebrating
  2. Switchfoot - Meant to Live
  3. Boys like Girls - The Great Escape
  4. Empires - Damn Things Over
  5. Keane - Black Burning Heart
  6. Youth Group - Forever Young
  7. Matt Hires - Honey, Let Me Sing You a Song
  8. 1969 - Wreck Me
  9. Lovedrug - Pretend You’re Alive
  10. Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah

5. Do I listen to mp3s/cds/cassettes/vinyls. I pretty much just listen to my ipod, even in the car. Sometimes if I forget to charge my ipod, I’ll listen to CDs in the car because I hate the radio.

7. Most underrated bands. This is so subjective, but I think a lot of my favorite bands are not very popular, so I would say:

Keane, Lovedrug, Matt Hires, Mayday Parade, Empires for sure…Imogen Heap sadly (she is unbelievable)…and Sherwood and Phantom Planet, too. Phantom Planet have had songs in commercials/TV shows, but besides for California, I don’t think any of their songs made it to radio.

9. The first band I really liked. Lol, the Backstreet Boys, of course! I was in love with Nick Carter. ;)

11. What bands my parents got me into. Ummm. Well, my dad mostly listens to Israeli music and my mom just listens to the radio. She loves Elvis, but I never got into him. Mostly though, she likes current music. It’s actually pretty funny, she knows more about current popular music than I do.
