Heh. Yeah unfortunately that entire gene pool is killed off in one hit (grumble-grumble-flips-Tolkien-off) except for Kili and Fili's mum, Thorin's sister.

gonerandom said: ha. I was thinking of you when I saw this movie yesterday….

Yes. I'm already about to start making lists of "fix-it fic" and AU everybody lives" fic in order to go through a healing process.

I consoled myself in the theater thinking "At least they will live on forever in fic..."

I was tagged by the delightful gonerandom.

To be honest, I'm not much of a shipper.

1. Daryl/Carol 2. Sheldon/Penny 3. Draco/Hermione 4. Captain Jack Sparrow/Elizabeth Swann 5. The Wolf/The Owl 6. Me/Jeremy Wade 7. Me/BQP 8. Me/Pizza 9. Opie/Life 10. Norman Reedus/His Season 2 Hair

Knowing that Beth has no one left in the world but her, and the fact that Glenn has the skills to look after himself, I felt it was very poor story telling that Maggie forgot all about her.

Yay!  Tagged by the lovely and talented gonerandom

GoneRandom’s Questions:

1. Do you write? Why?

I love to write! It's a great stress reliever, it's something I really enjoy doing, and I'm not half bad at it either! Unfortunately, I'm super critical and will rarely let anyone read anything I've written. 

2. Tell us about your best concert experience?

Seeing Sutton Foster was incredible. The woman's voice is unreal. Just her and the piano player, nothing showy or fake about it. I had chills the entire time! Fantastic!

3. What is the last movie you saw?

"In the Good Old Summertime" with Judy Garland and Van Johnson.

4. Share a moment you wish you could ‘do over’ and why.

I wish I could re-do my freshman and sophomore years of High School. My last two years I definitely came out of my shell and had the best time, but the first two I was this shy, timid thing who barely opened her mouth. High school, for the most part, was a blast and I miss it dearly. 

5. Who do you think about most often?

I've been thinking about my mom-mom quite a bit recently. I was thirteen when she died and while that was plenty of time to get to know her and the wonderful woman that she was, there are still many facets of her life I would have loved to learn more about. I wasn't that curious then and I wish I would have been. 

6. What was your most recent purchase?

Mouthwash and nail polish, hahaha. 

7. What fictional character do you relate to the most?

I'm having such a hard time with this question... I honestly cannot think of anyone right now! Get back to me on that! Ha!

8. Would you rather be a lumberjack or a long haul driver?

I'd definitely rather be a lumberjack, I absolutely HATE driving. 

9. Favourite animal?

Kangaroo's are my favorite wild animal! Dogs are my favorite domesticated! 

10. Would you like to have a cup of tea with me?

I would absolutely love to have a cup of tea with you, darling! You're lovely! c:
