Anything But Books Tag

Tags are so much fun. I love doing them and because Becca from My Life As A Sports Fangirl is so fabulous, she tagged me in the Anything But Books tag. Make sure to show her blog some love and also read her answers because she is so cool and you will want to be her BFF.



1. Name a Cartoon You Love

I am a lover of all cartoons because I wanted to (and still dream about) being an animator. One of my absolute favorites is probably As Told By Ginger because it tackled a lot of issues without being an after school special. Other notable contenders are Drawn Together, Daria, Rick and Morty, and Bob's Burgers.

 
2. What is Your Favorite Song Right Now? 

                  

I absolutely love this song. It's been on steady rotation on my drive to work and while I work on posts. 

 
3. What Could You Do For Hours That Isn't Reading?

Definitely play video games. I love gaming and can spend hours traversing Skyrim or on Overwatch. It's pretty hard though since I get motion sickness so easily.



4. What's Something You Love To Do That Your Followers Would Be Surprised By?

I love to cook and bake, especially for other people. Growing up, my family members were all great cooks and I was constantly made fun of. Now, they constantly ask me to make food. So, I guess I have a talent. Plus I love people enjoying my food and that old-fashioned I Love Lucy vibe I get from baking pies and casseroles.



5.  What is Your Favorite Unnecessarily Specific Thing to Learn About?


                                        


Fan theories and music conspiracy theories. I love music and ever since I was younger, was obsessed with conspiracy theories, urban legends, and myths surrounding the music industry. For example, backmasking, hidden tracks, rumors about songs, and theories about concept albums. I don't know why but I love the idea that there are hidden secrets on things that I love.

 
6. What is Something Unusual You Know How To Do?

Not really something I CAN do, but something unusual I can't do is cross my eyes. I am far-sighted in one eye, near-sighted in the other, and have an astigmatism in both so my eyes are pretty screwed up. For some reason, when I try to cross my eyes, my right eye slowly slides to the opposite end of my nose, so I end up looking half cross-eyed. I went to eye therapy for it but it never corrected itself.Also, if you put on my glasses and cross your eyes, anyone can see perfectly, just doubled. It's pretty weird.

 
7. Name Something You Made in the Last Year and Show Us if You Can

I built my gaming set up which I think qualifies for this and you can see it in my Gaming Set Up post. Other than that, I made the Online Tea Party Graphic as well, which I feature in my OTP posts. I also baked some yummy egg concoctions which can also be viewed in the PC post. 

 
8. What is Your Most Recent Personal Project?

Building my computer is up there since it has always been my dream to build my computer myself. Also, I try to set small goals for myself each month which are pretty personal ways of bettering myself and making me more productive!


9. Tell Us Something You Think About Often

                                          


How to enjoy my time before I graduate. Obviously I'd like to be done with school, but I am kind of nervous to finish because I will be officially thrust into the real world. Right now, I'm lucky enough to not have to work and only focus on school so all my free time is mine to use on whatever I choose. But after I graduate, I'll have to get a full-time job and lose the ease of vacations, easy work, and freedom. 

 
10. Give Us Something That Is Your Favorite But Make it Oddly Specific

Okay, I know I'm gonna get so much shade for this but...

-Maruchan Cup Ramen - Lime Shrimp flavor (not the bag, not the plain shrimp, not the Lime Chili Shrimp)  
-1 minute in the microwave. Yes I know it is still crunchy, shut up.  
-15 shakes of Tabasco sauce, aka God's gift to us all.  
-Few shakes of lime juice.

There you have it, Lysette's favorite meal. 

 
11. Say the First Thing That Pops In Your Head

Boom Fallout. (I was listening to the Fallout soundtrack while writing this).


 

This was such a cool tag. I love talking about myself (so modest, I know) and I;m glad I got to share some things I normally wouldn't talk about in posts. I hope my ramen recipe didn't scare you away and if you are reading this, YOU ARE TAGGED! Sorry, I don't make the rules. You gotta do it.

Thanks again Becca for tagging me!

End of Summer?

Hey ya'll!

Today it hit me that in a few weeks, Summer 2016 will be over and it will be back to the daily grind. I feel like this summer has been a very big turning point in my life. I finally got a car and no longer have to take the bus around town. I made amends with a person whom I thought I would never speak to again. We actually made our apartment a home, something we never did with our old apartment. And I started this blog!

I think I've also grown more as a person this summer. When I first came here and when I first got together with Jonathan, I was very dependent on other people to do everything for me. Now, I find myself actually running through things that need to be done and seeing how much I can fit in so he doesn't have to do them. I am becoming my own person which is only making us closer to our goal of building a great future for ourselves. I've stopped feeling entitled to treating myself when I  couldn't afford it. (Note: I still treat myself. Just not always by buying things when I need to budget). 

I've also met so many wonderful, interesting, like-minded people by participating in events with our Geek Girl Brunch Chapter and participating in events with the Geek Girl Pen Pals Club. I'm even doing camp for the first time this year! 

When I reflect back on this summer, I know I'm going to miss it. There are so many great memories. But I also know that I can now take these things and apply them to become an even better version of myself from now on. I can continue to grow. 

Hello Blogosphere!

Meet the blogger

Hey guys! Welcome to my first blog post! This is just an introductory post so you can get to know your author. After reading other geek girl blogs, I finally decided to jump in and see what the blogging world was all about. So, to start us off on this wonderful journey, here's 10 basic facts about me:









1. I'm 21 years old. Yay for legal alcohol consumption!

2. I'm obsessed with Wonder Woman. I have her statues and clothes and mugs everywhere. She is my favorite hero of all time.

3. I own about 40+ lipsticks and at least 20 are just different shades of red. Red lipstick makes me feel powerful but I'm known to sport a mean blue pout.

4. I have an amazing boyfriend and we have been together for nearly 3 years. His name is Jonathan and I adore him!

5. I love pigs!

6. Sid Haig once gave me an anniversary present at a horror convention. It was an autographed picture with relationship advice. I keep it in a frame in my house. 

7. I'm scared of the dark.

8. I love pie! Apple, cherry, peach, you name it. 

9. I am horrible at starting TV shows. My queue is insanely long and I constantly add more to it.


10. I'm a student, majoring is psychology with a  concentration in research and counseling. I'm currently working on my bachelor's degree.

This blog is mostly my outlet for my daily life, my geeky loves, reviews, and a place to connect with other geeks! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Always, Raineedayze
