Okay, well hopefully this isn't too confusing. Happy Friday! It's the 4th Friday of the month, and this is the time I have set aside to answer the questions provided by the Cover Girls, Dani and Jax. As there are five weeks in March, I have 5 Express Yourself questions to answer, so I'm going to do them in Fast Five form.
And away we go!
Feb 27 - Mar 3 Queso/nacho cheese, guacamole or salsa? Um, all three, thanks!
Mar 6 - 10 Share some photos of your writing space. Oh crap, I don't have one!
Mar 13 - 17 Name a late-great someone you wish you could have met. Selena
Mar 20 - 24 What's your favorite type of sandwich? A burger. Does that count?
Mar 27 - 31 What was the last show you watched? Legion on FX
Answer these if you like! It's always fun to see what others have to say.
All week, I was waiting to get to today's post and forgot to schedule it. I can't with myself sometimes.
It's finally time for Fast Five Friday again! Each Friday, the Cover Girls, Dani and Jax, ask us fun questions that anyone who wants to participate can answer in list form. Visit their page which will also take you to their individual pages to see what their fast fives have been. I have a month's worth of questions to look through, so let's see what we have.
Jan 6: 5 things you didn’t get done in 2016 but plan on doing in 2017?
Lose weight
Find a job I'm happy with
Snag an agent
Buy a guitar
Go out more
Jan 13: If you could only have 5 foods for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Thin crust pizza
Tacos
Sweet potatoes
Sushi
Eggs
I find it hilarious that one of our Jan. 6th answers was lose weight/get in shape, and then the Jan. 13th question is about food. hahaha
I hope everyone has a good weekend! I've got a lot to do, but I also plan on getting my Final Fantasy XV Chocobo Carnival on. lol
I'm so ready for this weekend. I have a bit of a busy one again, but God is still good. I'm still loving my new blogging schedule because I'm so ready to get to another day where I can post, especially a Friday post! And today, I get to return to Final Fantasy Friday!
Last night, my cousin brought over his laptop, and I was finally able to watch Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. This is a prequel to the highly awaited game which should be coming out next month. The trailer is below.
(SPOILER ALERT: Sean Bean is the English voice actor for King Lucis. If you understand Sean Bean characters, you'll know why this is a spoiler alert.)
In this movie, we follow Nyx, a highly respected soldier in the King's army as betrayal and sabotage destroy the kingdom. Half of the time, I was just in awe of how real some of the people looked! At one point, I almost said, "That monster looks so fake," but then remembered I was watching a fully animated movie! It's so beautifully done, and Square thinks they're slick, but I totally saw a nod to some of the older games, a few being:
Ardyn Izunia's one super-long sleeve resembling Sephiroth's one wing
Niflheim's demon looking like a very specific FFVII Weapon
ULTROS!
YOJIMBO!
It looks like I'm just speaking gibberish at this point, but I'm not. lol Anyway, I can't wait for this game to come out! I hope it's amazing! All this prep work for it, it just needs to be.
And now: a couple of this month's Fast Five questions from the Cover Girls, Dani and Jackie! Join in if you like. This is a particularly good one, for Halloween!
Oct. 7th - 5 horror movies you love to watch this time of year

Oct 21st - Name 5 sci-fi/horror books/movies that scared the crap out of you
Dead Silence
Orphan
Final Destination

I used to read a whole bunch of Christopher Pike when I was a teenager, but I don't think any ever scared me, and the Stephen King's books I've read so far horrified me more than scared me, lol.
I can't believe it's already the last Friday in September! And with my new schedule that means it's time for some questions from Dani and Jackie! Feel free to join in on these. I'm answering a bunch of questions.

The Cover Girls, Dani and Jax, created Fast Five Fridays for us to list our 5 favorites of the week's topic if we like.Today, I'm actually jumping back to July, because I've been slacking on reading blogs and missed a couple questions I could have answered. So let's do the time warp!
July 5th - 5 Top Soundtracks:
Spice World (don't judge me) Purple Rain Forrest Gump Beauty & The Beast (I listened to that thing so much when I was a kid) Grease
July 19th - 5 Things You Want To Accomplish Before The Year Is Up:

I didn't do Fast Five last Friday, so I'm going to go ahead and do it now. Woot! Dani and Jackie would like to know "5 things you wish you knew how to do."
A back-flip
Drive like they do in Tokyo Drift
A front stroke
Sew better
Writer faster
In other news: Dover Comic Con starts tonight, and I can't wait! I wanted to dress up as Zoe from Firefly/Serenity, but I didn't have time to get that all together. Really, I just need a wine-colored button-down shirt, gun holster, fake gun, and a wig, but...Ah well. lol Maybe next year.
I have had a DAY. It was long, and then I got rained on, and now it's after midnight, so I'm going to make this quick! The question this week from Dani and Jackie:
What fashion trend do you think should make a comeback?
So when I was in high school, Backstreet Boy's "I Want It That Way" came out (sidenote: Absolutely hate that song now. They had so many better songs, but it was unfortunately the most popular). In this one scene during Kevin's bridge, they pan out as AJ slides up and sings. He has on these awesomely baggy pants with strings hanging from the pockets. I, a lover of baggy bottoms and tight tops because I thought I was Janet Jackson, knew I needed a pair of those. I'm in my thirties now, so I don't know where I would wear them, but I would love for UFOs to make a comeback.
If I had the legs for them, I would also say plaid skirts and thigh-highs, because I never got to wear those, either.
I have to do this quickly. I was supposed to do it last night and plum forgot, but have to leave early today as well! This is brought to us by Dani and Jackie, the Cover Girls (links to come later), and this week they ask:
Name something you are looking forward to this Summer.
Tomorrow, I am going to Baltimore to listen to the FINAL SYMPHONY! That is the music of Final Fantasy, and it will be the music of FF VI, VII, and X, which had some of the best scores in the history of gaming! I love Nobuo Uematsu. I can't wait to hear this live!
Have a good weekend! What are you looking forward to this Summer?
It is Friday, and it is LATE Friday. I'm supposed to remind myself at night to do these, but ah well. These two Q&As are done by the Cover Girls, Dani and Jax. They work tirelessly to bring us questions to answer. Join in if you like!
For this week's Fast Five Friday, the ladies want to know: 5 Things you wish you knew then that you know now.
1. You weren't fat in high school.
2. You're going to gain more weight than you did in high school.
3. Getting published isn't as easy as writing The End and putting your work in a manila envelope. There are levels.
4. Don't forbear your loans back to back. You'll run out of chances.
5. You need to get out more.
For Express Yourself, the ladies want to know: If you could try one occupation for a day, other than your current job, what would you choose?
I used to want to be a firefighter (childhood), so maybe that...But I'd also like to be an actor for a day.
I haven't done a Fast Five in a while, and I realized I missed one last week! These are brought to us by Dani and Jackie, the Cover Girls! They ask us a question in 5-form, and we get to answer them in list-form. :) Here we go.

Every Friday, the Cover Girls, Dani and Jax, give us a question for us to answer in list-form. You can click on their pages to see the questions for the next couple of months and their answers, and you can also join in! This week is an easy one for me, so here we go!
5 movies you always watch when on
1. Forrest Gump
2. The Matrix
3. Jurassic Park

I could honestly keep going with this list. There are several Madea movies I watch whenever they're on, and as USA plays the Fast/Furious movies almost as frequently as they play Law & Order: SVU, I watch whichever one is on whenever nothing else is on lol.
Have a good weekend, everyone! Let me know if you've answered these, so I can visit you. :)
Geez, when did I last do one of these!? Fast Five is brought to us by the Cover Girls, Dani and Jax. They provide us with questions that we answer in rapid succession, and I've missed a couple of these, so you get a ten answers today. :)

I haven't done a Fast Five in so long! The Cover Girls, Dani and Jax, bring us these fun questions where we list 5 of what they're asking about. This week, they asked us to list our five favorite reading spots. I don't really get to mine, so they're basically ideal reading spots.
Happy 1st Friday of the last month of the year! Whaat?!
The Cover Girls, Dani and Jax, have created this weekly list that's quick fire, fun, and interactive for their readers. The topic today is: 5 Ways to Help Those In Need.
The good thing about this (as someone with not a lot of money) is that there ARE more than one way to lend a helping hand, especially during the holidays!
1. Volunteer at a Nursing Home
2. Give old (but gently used) clothes to Goodwill or the Salvation Army
3. Get a sandwich for a homeless person outside a fast food place (even for the less wealthy, there's almost always a dollar menu!)
4. Sit and talk with a stranger who looks down and/or out
HAPPY FRIDAY! I've set aside Fridays for many a thing. Today, I bring you Fast Five Friday and Express Yourself Weekly. Both were created by the Cover Girls, Dani @ Entertaining Interests and Jackie @ Bouquet of Books. You can visit their blogs and join them for the fun any time!
This week's Fast Five is set aside for telling 5 things for which we are thankful.
1. God
2. Family
3. Football
(lol just kidding. Best Man Holiday reference. My real answers:)
1. God
2. Family
3. Music
4. Moments of inner peace
5. Creativity
This week, they also asked us to share a picture of something we treasure.
The heartbeat of Americaaaaa...
Every now and then, my niece gives me little trinkets that I hold onto. One year (I can't even remember which one) she gave me a U.S.A. key-chain that I still use, and she also gave me this little plastic heart that I keep on my desk at work.
What are you thankful for this week? Anything special that you treasure?
