GET TO KNOW YOU MEME

Tagged by anxioussquirrel: I’m too tired to edit, so this is perfect...


Name: Sam Time and Date: March 25, 8:54pm AST 
Average Hours Of Sleep A Night: 5-6 (although in order to function I require at least 8 or 9... You see my problem.)  
Last Thing I Googled: Cheap flights Philadelphia 
Nickname: None that have ever stuck. 
Birthday: July 10th (a date shared with several amazing ladies...) Gender: Female 
Sexual orientation: History would say hetero, although I have been known to colour outside the lines... 
Height: 5′ 2 
Favourite Colour: The deep, rich hues, like dark plum, burgundy, forest green, burnt orange, and cobalt. But most of all I love the colour of late summer sunshine, dappled through poplars and larch, on a moss-covered forest floor. But that’s a hard colour to pin down. :)  One Place That Makes Me Happy: My front steps on a summer day with a cup pf coffee, a book, and my chickadees chirpling at me merrily from the birch tree. How Many Blankets Do I Sleep Under: One sheet and one duvet. 
Favourite movie: Oh... I don’t do well with favourites. It depends on my mood, but having read Squirrel’s answer, I will say that no making of a movie, or experience of going to a movie has EVER excited me, pleased me down to my curled toes, made me cry with wonder, like the LOTR movies. Watching that unfold as a big old Tolkien geek was a rapturous experience. What I’m Wearing Right Now: Yoga pants (never once used for yoga!) and a comfy sweater. Last Book You Read: Spice by lilahsuzanne. Most Used Phrase(s): I... I am drawing a blank. I’m sure I have them, but I cannot bring one to mind. First Word That Comes To Mind: exhaustion 
What I Last Said To A Family Member: “I’ll see you in the morning” 
What Is Family?: The people in my life that I cannot imagine the world without, who bring love and trust and unrestrained silliness into my life and for whom I would move heaven and earth to help. My family is small but mighty. Favourite Beverage: Soda water or coffee. I would say tea, but I realized today that tea is a  punctuation mark in my day, rather than a drink. I make tea because the ritual helps me gather my thoughts, but inevitably I take two sips and go off and leave it to go cold. But tea is important. Vitally so. Nothing in my house would ever be accomplished if I didn’t make at least five pots of tea in a day... Favourite Food: Curry in the winter. Fresh fruit and veg in the summer. Tomato, basil, oil, and balsamic vinegar. Anything that pairs raspberries and chocolate together. 
Last Movie I Watched In Theaters: Pride. It was absolutely wonderful. There was laughter, there were tears, and then I just said, “here! just take my heart” Dream Wedding: Vows and formalities performed perfunctorily at a courthouse, a nice long trip somewhere (like Hawaii or New Zealand) and then a party with our closest friends, maybe on a beach, with beer, corn on the cob, and lobster, and then guitars around a fire with marshmallows on sticks for dessert. Dream Pet: Alaskan malamute. I’ve never had any other breed of dog, they are sassy and intelligent and my favourite beasties.  Dream Job: Someday I want to own a bookshop. Or just run one. It is what makes me happiest, it is what I am very good at. I may need to win the lottery to make it happen, but a girl can dream, right? 

Who should I tag… Okay, if you’re up for it: feministwithoutasafetynet, sleepdeprivedmind, nadiacreek, justilaria, scout451, watercoloredroses, bespectacledcolfer, spinmybowtie, mbernip, istytehcrawk and anyone else who likes doing these things!! :)

Name your 10 favorite characters from movies or tv series, then tag 10 friends!

I was tagged by the lovely marauder-in-warblerland. I know that as soon as I post this I will realize I was wrong and that there should ten other names listed, but I'll give it a try. I am however, limiting it to tv series, so as to give myself a fighting chance!

Kurt Hummel [Glee]

CJ Cregg and The entire cast of The West Wing (see? I'm cheating already but every time I try to choose I feel guilty about the others that I didn't.)

Hawkeye Pierce [MASH]

Blaine Anderson [Glee]

Willow Rosenberg [Buffy]

Sawyer/Sayid/Kate (it's a tie don't make me choose) [LOST]

Spike [Buffy]

Desmond Hume [LOST]

Doris Schwartz [Fame]

Dean Winchester [Supernatural]

Honourable mention goes to Elliott 'Starchild' Gilbert who was only with us for 6 episodes, but DAMN they were glorious. And Burt Hummel who is just the best.

So I'm tagging: spreadlovelikelegs, watercoloredroses, feministwithoutasafetynet, sleepdeprivedmind, glitterdammerung, daltoneering, and gluttonouspenguin. (Yes I know it's not 10, but I started cheating on this by the time I hit #2, are you surprised?) As always, no pressure and if I didn't tag you and you want to do it, consider yourself tagged! :)

Your turn! Darren or Mia ;)

Although, I absolutely adore Darren, and was a fan of him first, I have to choose Mia. She is incredibly talented in all that she does, be it music, writing, or film. She has strength that I strive for, and she is never sorry for being her true self. Mia is an inspiration to so many people. She emulates positivity, and is nothing but kind to all, even those that try to bring her down. I could only ever dream to be like Mia.
