The Liebster Tag

I was tagged by Phoebe to do this fun tag!  Thank you, dear!

Rules:

1. Link back to the person who tagged you (Up there, click Phoebe's name and it will lead you to her lovely blog:)).
2. Answer the eleven questions.
3. Tag eleven bloggers, let them know you've done so.
4. Ask your tagged bloggers eleven questions.

1. Do you usually cry over the deaths or misfortunes of fictional characters in books and movies? Or are you "not a crier"?

I consider myself more of a crier.  I bawled at the end of The Battle of Five Armies and I usually cry, or at least tear up at the end of LOTR.  I have cried at books as well.  Not always, but I have.

2. Is there a popular TV show or a movie that you just CAN'T bring yourself to like, in spite of everyone's good opinions of it?

Harry Potter seems to be pretty big right now with the new book and the new movie coming out.  No offense to any of you who enjoy it, but I personally don't agree with it nor am I interested in it.

3. Do you have a garden? If so, what sort of things do you grow in it? Is it a vegetable or flower garden?

We don't have a garden.  Though I do love gardens.  We do have an apple tree (a small one), plum tree (also small for now), kumquat tree (little), and an orange tree. 

4. With the approach of oncoming Winter, do you find yourself excited for the change of season, or is your mindset closer to: " *sigh* Oh boy. Here it comes. Winter. AGAIN."?

EXCITED!!!  My favorite season is fall and I love winter as well.  Fires, sweaters, hot cozy drinks, and you get to see your breath hang in the air.  ;)

5. What is the last book you read? How would you rate it out of five stars?

The last book I finished was Psalms.  5 out of 5 stars.

6. Do you collect anything? How many/much do you own?

I collect books, post cards, vintage cameras (I have 4), notebooks, and I have a key chain collection.  I have no idea how many I have, but enough for it to be pretty heavy. There are other things, but you get the idea. :)

7. If you could invite one (and ONLY ONE) fictional character to dinner, who would it be?

SOOO hard.  Hmm.  Probably Bilbo Baggins.  He would have such nice manners and it would be wonderful to hear about his adventures.  And we would talk about how we relate with loving home, but longing for adventure as well.

8. What book is nearest to you at this very moment?

Besides notebooks, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Betrayal, and John's Story The Last Eyewitness.  They are patiently waiting to be put on the book shelf. :)

9. Since Halloween is coming up soon, do you usually participate in the celebrations? If so, what did you dress up as last year?

I participate by handing out candy, other than that, no.  I don't dress up and haven't for some years.  I wear this shirt that says, "I don't do costumes". XD

10. How would you describe your fashion style?

Vintage and classic most of them time.  Though I still do wear sweat pants and comfy clothes at home sometimes.

11. Have you ever met a famous person? Who was it?

I met Michael Tait, Duncan Philips, and Jeff Frankenstein from Newsboys and the guys from Audio Adrenaline.  And I nearly met Andy Serkis, Philippa Boyens, and  Katie Jackson (Peter Jackson's daughter).  But I got all of their autographs!

What fun!  Thank you so much for tagging me Phoebe! 

I am going to bend the rules a bit.  I tag everyone who has eaten ice cream within the last week.  And If you'd like to do it even though you haven't had ice cream, please feel free!   Phoebe, your questions were great!  I'm just going to put down yours. :)  Thanks again!
