......Whew.
I feel like I just made it to the surface of the deep end of the pool. Like I'm finally getting a breath of air. Ever since we got back from our trip, life has been utter insanity. School. School. School. Catching up on blogs. Beta reading. Theatre. Friends. LIFE.
But I finally feel as though I'm getting a hold on things again, and I actually have time to blog again. I've missed it so much, oh my goodness. I've missed YOU guys. I'm so happy to be back. : )

T H E L I E B S T E R A W A R D
I was tagged for the Liebster Award by the LOVELY Julia over at the Barefoot Gal, so thank you, Julia! She didn't include the rules in her post, sooooo.... I'm not going to either. Because honestly I just don't want to hunt them down, and I'm pretty sure at this point, we all know how the Liebster Award works.
(Also I have to say, Julia, your questions were cracking me up. You're the queen of this.)
1. If someone handed you a puppy, what would you do?
I would probably cry happy tears. And that person would then become my best friend for life.
2. Would you rather camp in a tent with nothing for a month, or be snowed in a log cabin with everything for 4 months?
2. Would you rather camp in a tent with nothing for a month, or be snowed in a log cabin with everything for 4 months?
Um, is that even a question? Log cabin, all the way. I wouldn't have to socialize, I'd have chocolate and wifi and books- what else do you need?
3. Your most used word? (i.e. dude. yo. bro. huh. uh. whatevs)
As white girl as this sounds, probably "like". My little sister says either "ugh" or "aesthetic". So if you want to know my personality, those three words basically sum it up.
4. If you HAD to move and got to choose the place, where would you go?
4. If you HAD to move and got to choose the place, where would you go?
Urg..ten minutes from where I live now?? I know that's not what you're looking for but that's my answer haha. If it HAD to be further away, the beach.
5. Are you involved in any Instagram group chats? If so, include a short and utterly goofy snippet.
Hahahaha I LOVE this question! Yes, I am involved in several group chats. Let's see...
I actually can't seem to find any screenshots right off, which is super annoying because I know I've taken screenshots. I guess I'll just have to include a quote from our aesthetic baegels group chat- I'll let you guess who it was;) (sidenote: THAT COULD BE A GAME. GUESS THE BAEGEL XD) "Princess and the Frog had me about to sell my birthright for one of those man catchin beignets"
(The amount of Disney conversations we have is kind of hilarious..)
6. Would you rather have poison ivy or chicken pox?
6. Would you rather have poison ivy or chicken pox?
Hmm. Probably poison ivy, because I HATE being sick. Hate it. Like, more than anything in life. I guess it would depend on where the poison ivy was. Like, if it was just on my arm or leg or something that might not be as bad but if it somehow got on my face, that would be horrendous.
7. What do you do when you're nervous?
Haha, I have so many little nervous habits. (I'm also easily nervous so that's probably why.) It kind of depends on how nervous I am. A lot of times when I know I'm going to be in a nerve-wracking situation, I wear a ring, so I have something to fiddle with. I actually have a friend who gets concerned about me when she sees me wearing a ring, haha. If I don't have a ring, I just kind of fiddle with my hands, and I clench them a lot. And then, if I'm horrifically nervous/panicky, I pace. A lot. XD
8. Do you write poetry? If you do, include a poem.

8. Do you write poetry? If you do, include a poem.
I DO write poetry! Buuuuut...I'm not going to include a poem. Sorry, Julia! I actually wrote one the other night, though, and I'm thinking about posting it. So you might see something, soon. ;)
(p.s. I DID post a poem on Kate's blog recently, if you missed it and really want to see some poetry. Check out some of her stuff while you're there- her poetry is 11387438719 times better than mine, haha!)
9. Can you remember passwords?
Usually, yes! I have about a million so occasionally I have a blonde moment but overall I'm pretty good with passwords.
10. What are you looking forward to right now?
10. What are you looking forward to right now?
Starting Music Man rehearsals, getting back to writing my novel, and a swing dance that's coming up. ♥

T H E L I E B S T E R A W A R D
That's right, I was ALSO tagged by Clara for the Liebster Award! Thank you so much, Clara! I'm excited. ♥
1. What color is your toothbrush?
White!
2. When I dance I look like...?
I mean, I'd hope I look okay since I've been dancing for ages, but to be honest I probably look like a dying whale most of the time.
3. If you were to be famous, what would you be famous for?
I'd WANT to be a famous author, but currently I'd probably be famous for doing something really dumb haha. XD
4. If you were running for president, what would your campaign slogan be?
"I'M A BETTER OPTION THAN THE OTHER GUYS!"
5. Do bald men wash their head with soap or shampoo?
Um...seeing as I'm a teenage girl...no idea.
6. If you were to take a selfie with a celebrity, which celebrity would it be and why?
As in, who would I WANT it to be? Julie Andrews. Because, Julie Andrews.
7. If you were an Olympic athlete, which sport would you compete in?
Probably gymnastics. It's the only one I can really see myself doing. That, or maybe beach volleyball.
8. Ask Siri to tell you a story. What did she tell you?
Well, I'm currently surrounded by my family and don't want to have to explain why I'm randomly chatting with Siri, so I'm not going to do this one. XD
9. Would you rather be invisible or able to read minds?
I'VE LITERALLY DEBATED WITH MYSELF OVER THIS FOR YEARS. YEARSSS. See, whenever anyone's like, "If you could have a superpower, what would it be?" I always debate between those two. AND I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DECIDE. Like, I want to know what other people are thinking and what other people think about me so I've always wanted to be able to read their minds and know what's going on and stuff like that. But then if you were invisible you could listen to any conversation you wanted and like you could get into shows and concerts and travel and stuff like that for FREE. So I have no idea. It's a very stressful question for me.
10. Take this Jane Austen quiz. Which heroine are you? Share the description.
I got Elizabeth Bennett. Here's my description- "You are as admirable as you are stubborn. Even in the face of great adversity, you never comprise your morals and you firmly believe in marrying for love rather than for security. At times, you can be quite difficult to please, but that's simply because you're a richly complex and intelligent person. Plus, your sense of humor is positively delightful as are your dancing skills."
(Also apparently Morning got Lizzy as well and this is further proof that we're twins.)

I'm going to use Clara's questions, and I tag- Opal, Aaliyah, Olivia, Abby M, and Mary Shelley! Again, if you like this tag, DO IT!! I dare you. ; )
