Taggety Taggety Tag Tag Tag!

Can you guess what happened to me? (Come on, wasn't the title glaringly obvious!?)

That's right! Miss Jack Lewis Baillot from the blog, However Improbable, has tagged me with a verrah fun tag. THANK you, Jack!

The Guardian

Here are the RULES! You can't do these things without RULES!!!

1. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their site. (Linked and thanked. Thank you, Jack!)
2. Post 11 random things about yourself. (Hurray! Eleven! The number of my fav'rite doctor. :-)
3. Answer 11 questions from the person who tagged you. (Still Eleven!)
4. Ask the people you tag 11 questions. (Eleven, Eleven, Eleven!)
5. Nominate 11 other blogs. (Best. Number. Ever!)

ELEVEN RANDOM FACTS:

1.) I am the fifth child in my family.

2.) The Avengers (specifically Iron Man, Captain America and Hawkeye), The Adventures of Tintin (Tintin and Haddock equally), The Narnia movies (especially the Voyage of the Dawn Treader - SO MUCH Catholic symbolism!), The Lord of the Rings movies (specifically the characters Faramir, Frodo, and Eowyn) , Doctor Who (specifically the 11th Doctor), Sherlock and John, Psych (specifically Shawn) and Leverage (specifically ELIOT!!!) are some of my currently favourite movies. I could watch those over and over again. I have many more movies and TV shows that I could go on about, but these are my comfort shows. :)

3.) I get cold easily. For this reason, I do not like snow.

4.) I like to drink my water with a little bit of lemon juice.

5.) I made myself an outfit out of gorgeous red material. It is my Iron Man outfit. One day I will get golden sandals to wear with it, and I might make myself an Arc Reactor out of clay. How cool would THAT be?

6.) I watched Les Miserables. The songs seemed to rush into the next rather faster than I liked, which is, actually, really my only complaint against it. However, I loved how they made the musicality of this musical so much better, and for the first time ever I sympathized with Fantine. My favourite characters were Jean Valjean, and Javert. My second favourite was probably Eponine and Fantine. I wasn't crazy about the barricade boys. Cosette and Marius were sweet. I LOVED the Catholicism portrayed throughout the story!

7.) I would rather watch a bunch of TV shows, one after another, than a full-length movie. Unless I'm in the mood for a movie. In which case, please stick the Avengers into the DVD player. Thank you.

8.) I LOVE Iron Man. (Please, do not post a snarky comment about why YOU don't happen to like him. I like him. End of story.)

9.) I love fantasy names that begin with A's and V's for girls, and B's for boys.

10.) Jamie Bell has J.B. initials! Other favoured and cool people with these initials are Jason Bourne, James Bond, and James J. Braddock. J. and B. are COOL initials!

11.) The Eleventh Doctor is my favourite. :) (Same as with Iron Man, do not leave a snarky comment, or even a condescending one, about why you don't like him as much as Ten. I like him. End.)

JACK'S ELEVEN QUESTIONS:

1. The Doctor shows up and asks you to be his companion at the same time Sherlock asks you to be his blogger. Who'd you pick?

Probably the Doctor, (primarily the Eleventh Doctor) because he appears to enjoy life more. I think that, if I were Sherlock's blogger, I'd be spending a lot of time hunched over my computer, yelling at him to go away and stop breathing over my neck as I typed. I HATE that!

2. In the great Clara debate, who do YOU think she is. (And if you don't know who Clara is...I've two words for you. No, three. Watch Doctor Who.)

I think she is Not A Pond.

3. You're falling off a building, which Avenger do you want to save you?

In this order, either:

Iron Man

Captain America

Hawkeye

4. Would you go for a ride in a cold, hot air balloon?

Cold, hot air balloon. COLD, hot air balloon. COLD. I don't like cold. (See picture under number three random fact.) Maybe if I was able to bring a massive blanket. And a portable heater. And a mug of coffee. And a coffee maker. And hand warmers.

5. Does your wardrobe lead to Narnia?

Always.

Wordpress

6. You meet an Alien who is about to kill you. Do you offer him a Jelly Baby or run?

It depends if I were an alien as well. Specifically a fourth reincarnation of an alien. Then, out would come the Jelly Babies! Also, it depends on the kind of alien. Were it an alien from the first nine doctors, I would totally just offer a Jelly Baby. The later aliens would give me pause. I might have to run from them. Especially the Silence. They were a particularly creepy kind of alien.

7. If your best friend faked his death to save your life, then popped up a year later to inform you he was still alive, would you faint or punch him?

Both. I would faint in amaze, and when I came to I would punch him. How dare he cause me such anguish?

8. Buttered popcorn or plain?

Lightly buttered popcorn, no salt. Make sure it's crunchy.

9. Have you ever had a flip phone in your position and wished to yell, "Beam me up, Scotty!" into it?

ALWAYS!!!!! (Did you know that particular phrase was never used in the Star Trek series? Variations of it were, such as "Beam us up, Scotty," or "Beam me up, Mr. Scot," or, "Scotty, beam me up!" But never that actual, "Beam me up, Scotty!" phrase. Nerdy, yes?)

10. What is your favouritest book?

Ergh! I cannot say! Anything by Diana Wynne Jones, J.R.R. Tolkien, Brian Jacques, or Patricia McKillip. I am currently in love with Megan Whalen Turner's THE THIEF.

11. It is raining, do you go for a walk in it or sit by the fire with hot chocolate and a good book?

They don't call me Cat for no reason! I'll wait in the house, sitting by the fire with hot chocolate and a fantasy novel.
