Day #6 of a Meme.
Day 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy
Hm...what to write about! Okay, well, know that song from "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown", "Happiness"? Okay, well, happiness might not be "two kinds of ice cream" for right now, but it would be...
Happiness is...
Strawberry yogurt
Claddagh rings
Favorite movies
Silver nail polish
Texting best friends
Silver eye shadow
SLEEPING IN (what does that feel like?? zzzz)
Ludovico Einaudi's "Nuvole Bianche"
New music!
NaNo plans

Day #5 of a Meme.
Day 05 → Your favourite quote
So many favorite quotes! I quote myself and my friends conversations a lot. If that just shows how much of an ego I have. *sheepish* No, but seriously, we have some pretty hysterical conversations...conversations that sometimes don't make ANY sense to anyone BUT ourselves! I keep threatening to make book of all our chat conversations. I'm positive it'd make for a very entertaining read, if not for anyone but ourselves. ;)
Like:
Amy: So anyways, Robin Hood is on his way to you!
Sam: for REAL???
Amy: For REAL!
Sam: SQUEE! Is he single??
Amy: He's in a nice little box, and yes he's single.
Sam: YAAAAY!
But I also like real quotes from...dead people. ;) Like
"We are all worms, but I intend to be a glow-worm." ~ Winston Churchill.
That's definitely one of my most favorite quotes ever. :)

Day #4 of a Meme
Day 04 → Your favourite book
Yet another unfair question...let's see, what's my favorite book at the MOMENT. Hm...
I'm going to have to say "Nightbirds on Nantucket" at the moment. I'm not saying it's my favorite book ever...there are a TON of books I like better than it at the moment...but I was flipping through it yesterday afternoon and just remembering why I love that book so much! Yes, it's where I got the name for my blog...it's a quirky, funny story that is so unrealistic, it's believable. lol. It's part of a series, but it was the first book from the series that I had read, and when I had first read it, I didn't realize it was a series. So I *guess* you could say it stands on it's own...I had no trouble reading it, assuming it was a stand-alone. But, I mean, if you want to find out how and why Dido Twite was found in the ocean, then you'll have to read the previous books. :) Anywho, Dido Twite is a young girl who is found floating in the ocean, by a whaling ship. She is in a deep sleep and sleeps on for a looong time (so, yeah, can't remember how it was :P). When she does wake up, the Captain requests her help with his daughter. After her mother died, she locked herself inside his cabin and refused to come out. Dido's task is to befriend the shy Pen. While befriending her, Dido stumbles on a stowaway and a mystery that surrounds the first mate. The mystery follows them back to Nantucket, where things just go from bad to worse. Anywho, just read it. :D It's funny, it's quirky, it's charming. :) And! It has a pink whale. Lol. This is a horrid book review, but it's all I could come up with in two minutes!! So, yes, it's a children's book that I completely love to pieces. Literally. My first paperback copy is starting to shred. :P

Day #3 of a Meme.
Day 03 → Your favourite television program
My favorite? Hm. Well, I love my mystery shows. :D Psych, NCIS, Burn Notice, White Collar, Lie to Me, The Mentalist...as to my favorite? Oh, gosh. That's hard. I love the first couple seasons of Psych, but sadly, the last couple have been "eeeh". It's getting kinda old. White Collar though...ohGOSH! Talk about CLIFF-hanger! Sheesh. I'm really looking forward to when it picks up again! :D It's got the humor, it's got the wicked cute "hero", a plot that has kept me really interested (I have my own theories about it all *wink*)...um, I really like "The Mentalist"...great humor with the underlining mystery that has me reaaaally wanting more. I'm so hoping it doesn't end badly, because I really really liked the first season! :P Um, NCIS...I guess I'd have to say at the moment NCIS is my favorite show...oh, wait! No! Second favorite. :D At the moment. lol. It's so interesting to watch, I LOVE the characters...my personal favorite? Abby, the goth lab chick. Yup. :D She's made of awesome! And Gibbs! And Ziva! And McGee! And Tony! And Ducky! They're all great. :D
And my favorite tv show at the moment?? Dr. Who!!!!!!!!!! At least, the 3 seasons with David Tennant. BEST doctor EVER. But then, I haven't seen the new doctor yet. But I'm REALLY itching for season 5! :D

Day #2 of a Meme
Day 02 → Your favourite movie
Again, another hard question...I have so many favorites I don't think I COULD pick one. Hmm...I REALLY like "Saints & Soldiers" (*cries eyes out*) and the new BBC "Emma" *grin*.
I'm a sucker for WWII movies...seriously. (And it appears I have a "thing" for medics too! *wink*) I love em! I really do! They fascinate me! They're the movies that actually make me bawl my eyes out (I'm not a movie-bawling person...I'm not even really a movie-crying person!). "Saving Private Ryan", "Band of Brothers", "Flags of Our Fathers", "Life is Beautiful", "Saints & Soldiers"...and soon, I shall be watching "Letters from Iwo Jima" for the first time. :D
Now, about "Emma"...well, "Emma" is my favorite Jane Austen! I wouldn't say favorite book...because I don't think it's my favorite book. When it comes to the books I love "Sense & Sensibility", "Persuasion", AND "Emma" all too much to choose between those three. Movie-wise, I definitely like "Emma" the best. But, of course, like any other story that's been made soooooooo many times into a movie, they haven't QUITE gotten it perfect. Now, if they had Jeremy Northam in the latest version, it'd be perfect. Yes, yes, I know he'd be too old, but still....Jeremy Northam's version of Mr. Knightley was SOOOO much better than Mark Strong's OR Jonny Lee Miller's. Jonny Lee Miller wasn't that bad, just lacking in the most important scenes. Like the scolding scene for example. *sigh* Ah, well. Romola Garai makes up for it. ;)
So yes, WWII movies and "Emma" are my favorites right now. :D
