Answer the 11 questions

Nominate several bloggers and ask them 11 questions

Megan's questions:

- Favorite summer activity? 
Hm... I'd have to say soccer or Frisbee or swimming. Don't make me narrow it down more than that. ;)

- What is your favorite activity / sport for any time of the year?
Haha, soccer and Frisbee again. I love sports in general.

- How many animals do you own?
Our family owns two dogs, a cow and soon some puppies (one of our dogs is pregnant :D .)

- How many siblings do you have?
Five. Two brothers and three sisters.

- What is your favorite color?
Oh dear. I guess I'm not very decisive today, because I'd have to say blue, green or black. And I really love burgundy/coffee hues. I hate to just choose one.

- What is your favorite kind of animal?
Panda bear. Always has been. :) I love large cats like panthers and lynx's, too, though. 

- Favorite season?
Autumn.

- Favorite books?
That's a very hard question to answer! I'd have to say The Ascendance Trilogy (It. Was. Amazing.), Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Fablehaven books, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Swamp Rat, and Around the World in Eighty Days. 

- Favorite movies?
Another hard one! Let's see... The Return of the King, the Bourne movies, Pirates of the Caribbean, any Hitchcock film, The Proposal, and Tv shows like Psych, Merlin, Heroes and Monk.

- What do you do in your free time?
Read, write, make music videos, create disasters, play pranks, and go on ATV rides. I also watch a lot of movies. :)

- What is your dream career?
Dream career is being a published writer. It's probably been that since I was ten or so. ;D

Alright, I nominate:
Johanna at Writers Who Need To Talk To Other Writers
Elsie at Keep Calm and Beethoven On
Heather at Sometimes I'm a Story


And here are my questions:

-What is the busiest day of your life that you can remember?
-Where is the farthest you have ever been from home?
-Do you have a dream so big you might call it an "Infinity Dream"?
-Are you a polka-dots or stripes kind of person?
-If you could change your entire name, what name would you choose?
-What is the closest you have ever come to a near-death experience?
-What is your favorite song?
-What is your favorite food?
-How long can you hold your breath?
-If you could, would your rather be an Olympic swimmer or gymnast?
-What is your dream vacation?

Well, thank for reading, y'all! Alons-y!

Monday Musings \\ Treasure Hunting: What I Watched

Nine days into NaNoWriMo and I'm only four thousand words behind! I think I'm doing pretty good!... yeah....

Well, I thought I would share with you guys what movies I watched to get into the mood of treasure hunting. Here goes:



The Mummy (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor)
Loved them! Brendan Fraser plays a gun slinging-American thrown into the whirlwind of the 20th century rush for Egyptian artifacts along with the beautiful librarian Evelyn Carnahan and her brother, Jonathan.

National Treasure (duh!)
Pure awesomeness.

The Librarian (Quest for the Spear, Return to King Solomon's Mines, Curse of the Judas Chalice)
Flynn Carsen is a student at a university one minute and the next is hired as the Librarian of a top-secret part of the Metropolitan Public Library, where they house some of the worlds most ancient and magical artifacts.
So. Horribly. Cheesy. I loved them!!! (And the fact that I used three exclamation marks at the end of that sentence further attests to it, because I am not a fan of using several exclamation marks at the end of a sentence.)
Anyways. Yes. These were great. Except for the last one. It was really terrible, but I still enjoyed it.

Sahara
I watched this one a while ago, but still thought it worth mentioning. I didn't enjoy it much, and it definitely had some iffy parts. The combination of a funny sidekick, explosions, and a lots of gold was really the only thing that kept me interested, but I have several friends who think it's a great movie. So maybe some of y'all will like it. :)

Indiana Jones
Of course, I could never embark on a treasure hunting novel without watching the most classic treasure hunter in movie history. I only got to watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Kingdom of the Diamond Skull, but they were both a lot of fun.


If anyone has any recommendations for treasure hunting movies, I would love to hear them in the comments!
