#OneLastTimeQ&A

Darrion tagged my for the #OneLastTime Award.  Thanks you, Darrion; I appreciate it:)

The Rules;)

1. You Must be tagged to take the Q&A quiz

2. You must tag(notify)at least three other bloggers(or whatever they are on)for this Q&A

3. You must answer the following questions to the best of your ability

4. You must have seen The Battle of the Five Armies to be tagged/take the quiz

(don't read unless you have seen the movie; there will be *SPOILERS*)

Questions

1. Tell your story of how you came to see the movie(s) or got into Tolkien in the first place.

I was about eight when I started watching the LOTR movies with my dad.  My dad had to see if out DVD player worked, and so he put in LOTR to check.  Every time he would check the DVD player he would always put LOTR in.  That's how I got into LOTR.  Then several years later, I found the Hobbit book in my mom's bookshelf.  I read it and really enjoyed it.  More several years later, I heard that Peter Jackson was coming out with the Hobbit trilogy.

2. Who are your three favorite characters in the Hobbit Trilogy?

Thorin, Fili, and Kili

3. Did you cry in the Battle of the Five Armies, and if so, which scene(s) and what type(sniffling, sobbing, choke-crying)? 

Yes, I did(no way, right?)  ;)  Well, I got teary-eyed during the Bard and Bain scene in the tower,(because who doesn't tear up at a father/son scene?).  I had tears flowing like fountains during the Durins's deaths and when Bilbo was crying(obviously).  I didn't make any sounds while crying, but my cheeks were constantly wet.

4. Were the deaths compelling to you, and if so, who's?

V.E.R.Y.

THEY. ALL. WERE. COMPELLING. O_O

Fili was so brave in his last moments...my soul...and when he said, "Go, Run!"...*tears*...Oh. the. feels. when Fili fell in front of his brother:(

I agree with Darrion, I was more sad when Kili died then heartbroken when Fili died, because Kili's so young and you wouldn't expect him to have such a brutal death*weeping in the background*  Kili has always been the mischievous one of the company, the lighthearted, and the reckless one.  It pained me to see him in so much pain.  But who am I to talk, talk about Fili..*may he rest in peace*  The moment when Fili stops Kili from going into the tunnel and tells him, "I got this.", I knew exactly what was going to happen.  And then when Azog drags him out...just...*choking here*...just noooo!  Then Kili goes insane for his brother*weeps*  When Thorin said, "I'm glad you're here.", to Bilbo I just about lost it.  I lost it completely when Bilbo started crying*sniffle*

5. Over all, were you satisfied with the movie itself?

Yes, I love the movie!  It was better then I ever expected it to be=D

6. Describe the movie in one word.

Majestic;)

I tag...

Lili

Knight of the Prince

Aspen

S.F., Leslie, & Myrtle

Merry Christmas BTW=D

Chocolate Book Tag

I was tagged by Aspen at Texas Rebel Girl for the Chocolate Book Tag.  Thanks, dear!

Let's get started=D

Dark Chocolate (a book that covers a dark topic):

I'd have to say the Children of Hurin...seeing how there's 'dark' magic, 'dark' elves, and 'dark' sources.

But I would recommend this book if you like Tolkien's writings.

White Chocolate (a light and humorous read):

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.  This book has always been one of my childhood favorites:)

Milk Chocolate (a book with a lot of hype that you're dying to read):

Rise of the Fallen

the second book to Chuck Black's new series

Caramel-filled Chocolate (a book that makes you feel gooey inside):

I'd have to say LOTR.  Not really gooey I guess, but more exciting.  I just love watching the movies and than reading the books and being able to point out the parts that were in the movies.

Wafer-less Kit-Kat (a book that surprised you):

The Hobbit

I guess the ending kind of surprised me when I first read it.  There were certain characters who just kind of *BOOM* died.

Snickers (a book you're going nuts about):

The Ransom!  This book is soon going to be published by Megan J. Mckeel and I can't wait to have my own copy=D

Hot Chocolate with Mimi Marshmallows (a book you turn to for comfort):

Well, besides the Bible, I normally turn to The Ransom, the same book mentioned above, the Interlock, and the Extremity.  The last two books I mentioned are the last two books in Megan's trilogy.  I guess I like turning to her books for comfort knowing that she is sharing the gospel in her writing:)

A Box of Chocolate (a series you feel has something for everyone):

Anything by Chuck Black for example, The Kingdom Series, The Knights of Arrethtrae, and Cloak of the Light

I nominate:

Megan Jane

Darrion and Willow

Lily(my big sister;)

Beth

Have fun answerin'=D

If you weren't nominated and you'd like to give your opinions of books you can put your answers in a comment on my blog:)

Awarded Maybe? ;)

Hey, so Megan awarded me...actually I'm not sure what she did to me...but she gave me a couple questions to answer...it's kinda like an award;)

Here are her questions for me.

1: What are you working on?

Well, I'm currently working on a book called, 'The Silent Seeker'.  I can't tell you much about it because I'm planning on blogging about it sometime in the future.  But I can tell you that it's a about a young man named Devin, who's seeking revenge on his uncle for killing his family.  It's in the medieval err.  Devin lives in Greenock village in the region of Faltenhime.  I'll show you a map of the region he lives in when I post about it.

2: How does your work differ from those of its genre?

Well, first off, because I completely made it up and I didn't copy anyone else's ideas.  Secondly, some of my scenes are based off of dreams that I've had.  Some of you might know this, but I've given Megan some scene ideas for her books, and some of those ideas are based off of my dreams.  

3: Why do you love what you write?

Because it makes my imagination bigger:)  Ever since I've started writing, which was probably when I was twelve, my imagination has gotten more imaginable=D

4: How does your writing process work?

Well, I don't really have a huge process, but I try to write my story whenever I have the time.  I try to go in order with writing the chapters but sometimes I get certain ideas that don't fit into the chapter I'm writing.  So, I just write my idea down in a different document and then bring it in to fit somewhere else.

I just got the twelfth chapter done of The Silent Seeker!  Yay!  Each of my chapters are around ten pages long.  Some of them are up to thirteen or down to six pages, depending on where there's a good stopping point.

Anyways, here are the questions for those I nominate: By the way, you ask the same questions for your nominees that you answer:)

1. What are you working on?
2. How does your work differ from those of its genre?
3. Why do you love what you write?
4. How does your writing process work?

1. Macie--Extraordinary 

I know that you just finished your book but I would still like to know about the process of your writing:)  

2. Darrion and Willow--The Call 

Darrion's has actually completed the first file, The Watchmen Flies, and is now starting on the second edition.  I love her car chasing, gun shooting, best friends action book!  It's modern but it's by far one of the best modern books I've read=D

Willow is in the process of writing a medieval tale called Friends and Enemies.  I would go check it out if you like the medieval times.  Even if you don't like medieval times, which I don't see why you wouldn't, she still has a wonderful book well written:)

3. Mad-E--The Stars Have Fallen 

I've have finally started to read her book but haven't gotten very far.  But so far it's really good:)  I can't wait to read all of it+D
