Let's take a moment to be thankful for friends (&a little sad that it ended).
AND
Can we just take a moment to be thankful for this:
If this tours, I will be seeing it. I caught the glimpse of it during the parade and wanted to cry.
Elf is one of the best Christmas movies ever, after all.
So, the lovely and oh-so-nice Rubi over at
Lily Among Thorns nominated me for another Liebster Award (you know the drill; under 200 followers, yada yada) and I am honored. :) Because I have done these before, I decided to just answer her questions!
Then you guys can go over and check out her blog, she is seriously awesome!
What/Who has the greatest influence on your beliefs?
I am a firm believer in having your own beliefs and searching them out for yourself, so everything I believe I have honestly found myself although
my family, specifically my mom, has had a great influence I am thankful for :)
What's your favorite book, ever?
I read a lot...so this is hard. I really love To Kill a Mockingbird but I'm a sucker for Harry Potter (definitely a Potterhead) and Game of Thrones
(yes, I love the show too!) I recently read The Perks of Being a Wallflower and it's also pretty good although I wouldn't call it my favorite.
Name one woman you greatly respect.
I'm gonna go 2 ways with this. A woman I obviously respect is my mother. But also the woman I was a nanny for for over 2 years. She taught me a
lot about how to be a great mother (my mom also did but it's different when it's your own mother versus seeing someone else) and is one of the most
compassionate women I've ever met...especially considering what she has been through (a lot)
Biggest pet peeve?
People not taking responsibility for their actions. That drives me NUTS! I might make mistakes...but I can always sit back, look at the consequence
and think "yeah...probably shouldn't have done that" instead of shifting the blame upon someone else.
Also, when people are obnoxiously loud when they eat. My mom had to stop buying popsicles because I CANNOT listen to anyone eat them. *shudder*
What's your dream city to settle down and live?
Where I am. I love Oklahoma City. I love going downtown but also going out to the stables of the country...it's truly a great place.
What's your favorite season of the year?
FALL. Although Oklahoma is still being stubborn about letting it happen :(
Favorite holiday?
Whichever one is closest. I love holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, you name it. I just love celebrating and being with the people I love.
I don't think ayone can deny that Christmas time is kinda magical. I love the atmosphere.
Name one embarrassing celebrity crush you've had.
All of mine are embarassing...because I kinda get obsessed with celebrities and tend to go overboard. I am that creepy girl. Here's a few:
Norman Reedus (Walking Dead anyone!?!)
Ed Sheeran (I could go on for days...I've been obsessed with him for a while)
Jason Mraz (obsessed for life, his concert was the best experience of my life)
Andrew Garfield (Spiderman please?)
Avan Jogia (Ha, this one is probably the most embarassing...and obvious.)
Jef Holm (I can't handle my obsession...)
and probably the one that actually is the craziest/weirdest/liable to the one I'm most made fun of for...Harry Styles.
Share one of your favorite quotes.
"There are far better things ahead than any we will leave behind."
What's your favorite animal?
I LOVE white tigers.
What's your closet staple?
HATS. Anyone who knows me IRL would know that....easy. I just love not having to completely do my hair. Second day curls + Beanie...done.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I'm gonna go snuggle my redheaded baby cousin...he is too adorable.
