Hey guys (: So I'm smiling and doing a little happy dance in my chair right now because Ovellia over at Whimsical Youngster has given me the Sunshine Award! Thank you so much! Her blog is great-- she's a whimsical youngster (ha!) with a lot of opinions and insight regarding life, literature, love, and music. You should definitely pay a visit to her little slice of ze Interwebs (;
And now. Ladies and jellymen, children and friends of allllll ages....
Ze Sunshine Award!
The rules: Answer the 11 questions your nominator asked you. Then tag 11 other bloggers that add sunshine/happiness to your day and ask them 11 questions of your own.
My Answers (:
1) Happiest experience you've had so far? (can be good or bad)
I have a lot of happy experiences... but I think one recent happy one was when I was with J and we had a long deep talk about life. But honestly, that's just one from thousands.
2) What are your interests?
Music. Singing. Photography. Blogging. Singing. Music. J. Art. Doodling. Piano. Books. People.
3) Favourite artist and why?
Wait, like, music artist? Or artsy artist? Either way... Music? Uh.... a lot of people. I love John Mayer, though, and Jason Mraz is the bee's knees as well. (; Artsy wise? Definitely Kandinsky/Van Gogh.
4) So you can control one of the four elements. What would it be, earth, water, air, or fire?
Solely based on personality? Fire. But I love water so much...I think I'd have to choose water. (My mom used to call me Neptune's daughter when I was littler, haha)
5) Favourite book of all time?
OH GOODNESS. The "of all time" part of this question makes it so hard!! I have so many books I really like.. but I think one of my favourites is Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot, closely followed by The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It's tough to pick. It's honestly SO. HARD.
6) Would you rather have a beautiful voice or be an amazing virtuoso of the instrument of your choice?
A beautiful voice. Mostly because singing is the BOMB, and because I'd want to share my talent with other people via my body, the instrument.
7) Favourite colour?
Lime green. That'll never change.
8) Name one ambition of yours.
To someday feel like I have made a difference in the world. That's a really broad ambition... but there are so many ways I could fulfill it... so... I guess I'll leave it at that....
9) Any secret talents? :D
Um... I can untie seemingly impossible-to-untie-knots really quickly?
10) How do you want people to see you?
I want people to see me as a strong, independent black woman who don't need no man.
...Just kidding. XD
However, I do want people to see me as a strong person who isn't afraid to try new things and stand up for what she believes in. I also want to be seen as someone who knows what they want in life and isn't afraid to go out and get it. I want to be the quintessence of ambition. I want to be seen as someone people can trust and love; someone who is compassionate and understanding, while still unwavering and sensible. I want people to see me as a woman of faith and hope. I want to be seen as intelligent and beautiful; beautiful in reference to my soul, for inner beauty is well worth its weight in all the gold in the world.
...lol... ^that was deep right there, man....
11) Name one characteristic you want in a boyfriend (he can be imaginary, lol)
Well, I have a boyfriend... And he does have the following characteristics that I'd want/admire:
-someone who respects me
-someone who has things in common with me
-someone not afraid to accept/reciprocate my weirdness
-someone who likes me for just me and who I am-- my quirks and all
-preferably someone attractive/cute (nice smile, eyes... like J!) :P but those are all bonuses..
oh... and wow... I just re-read the question... it says "name ONE characteristic" and I just named like, five... whoopsie... :P
And now... Ze NOMINEES! (Seeing as I don't really follow 11 people in addition to the close blogs I read... I'll do what I can in terms of nominating... In fact, some of the ones I want to nominate may already have this award! But you know what? I'm going for it---I guess maybe they can deal with the fact that they're just that awesome to be nominated twice (; )

3. What are you most afraid of?
