Perfect Sunday

Staying in bed and reading a good book. :)

QotD: Unforgettable Crush

What's the most memorable crush you have had? 
Submitted by spectacular.  

The one I had on the man who's now the love of my life. :)

We were friends in high school. He was a junior; I was a sophomore. I developed a crush on him but shrugged it off because I didn't think he'd ever see anything in me. Turns out he'd had a crush on me too, ever since we met. Needless to say, that made me very happy. I was still a little bit slow to settle into the relationship, mainly because I'd never dated anyone before and I didn't want to risk losing a good friend. I couldn't be happier now, though. We've been dating for over 4 years, we're very much in love, and he's not only my boyfriend but my best friend as well.

Vox Hunt: Leave On the Night Light

Show us a book that scared you as a child.

Creepy Book

I've never been easily scared, even as a child. The typical "monster under the bed" that most kids feared wasn't an issue for me. For some reason, though, this book struck a chord in me. I was probably about 10 when I found it buried in the mystery section of my local library, and it turned out to be an uncovered treasure. I loved it, but it had a lonely, tragic feel that made me hesitate to read it at nighttime or when I was by myself. It was just...creepy. I need to read it again now that I'm older. I don't think it would be as scary now, but it was unsettling to my 10-year-old mind.

QotD: Forward My Mail

In which fictional world/universe/land/city would you most like to live?
Submitted by glenn is the new chuck.  

Either Middle Earth, the Star Wars galaxy, or the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It's a tough call, but I think I'll go with the Wizarding World. I'd give anything to go to Hogwarts!

If I lived in Middle Earth I'd want to be a Rivendell elf, and if I lived in the SW galaxy I'd want to be a Jedi and an X-wing pilot like Luke Skywalker. ;)

QotD: This Totally Freaks Me Out

Do you have any phobias?
Submitted by Amirul B Ruslan.

I have a strange fear of the ocean. It's so vast and dark and full of scary-looking things... *shudders* I also have mild social anxiety. I can't stand large crowds of people. And I will probably never in my life build up the courage to get a tattoo or give blood because I hate needles. I come close to fainting just at the thought of one sticking into my skin. *shudders again*

My more serious fears are losing the people I love and dying a painful death. I want to go peacefully in my sleep, without knowing what hit me.

I also love my new mini Christmas tree from Target, which is now residing on my dresser:

Cute Tree

Isn't it adorable?!

QotD: Thanksgiving

What are you thankful for?

Most of all, I'm thankful for my family and my boyfriend. Life wouldn't be worth living without them. I'm thankful for my health, and the fact that I have a roof over my head and everything I need to live comfortably. Sometimes I have to remind myself how lucky I am.

I hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving and stuff yourselves with as much food as I did today! ;)

Happy Harvest
