To the person below me
Lolz, I'd probably not have the most profound sentence. (view spoiler)
TTPBM: Sum up your entire existence. Sum up your feelings and your personality and your likes and dislikes. But only use 1 word.

O___O :O bu....how.....I can't..even......
Try! It's okay if you can't, but try!!!! Pwease? And then ask me a question. But at least attempt to do it!
okay. I have to think about this one...
I would hope it would be something like inspiring but in reality, I think it is more like unobtrusive or maybe meditative
TTPBM: This is something I was thinking about the other day. How do you want people to remember you? Not necessarily something they would say at your funeral, but like 5-10 years after you die, what do you want them to look back and remember most about you?

I want them to remember me as a wonderful author, and to go down in history right along side the other big names, C.S.Lewis, Tolkien, Brian Jaques, and the like.
Same?
Same?
This may sound cliche, but I just want people to remember me as someone one who was strong, caring, inspiring, someone who loved God wholeheartedly... Just basically good things. And this may sound... Vain or selfish, but I want to be known. Not like by friends and family, but in general (I know, it sounds sorta stupid...). TTPBM:
Abby's question about summing up your life in one question.
I don't think that is stupid. It is actually more like what I was thinking.
Question, or word?
I think she said word . . .
In which case. Ummmm. I've found quite a few words over the years which describe me . . . soliloquist, recluse, writer, hobbit, procrastinator, affable. (At least, I hope that last one)
But my life . . . That's a bit more difficult. I'll go with procrastination for now. If there were a word for "waiting for something wonderful to happen", that would be me.
TTPBM: If you had ten minutes more to live, and you could talk to one person - not counting family friends - who would it be?

My family and friends are the ones who matter the most, but probably either Tom Hiddleston or Christopher Eccleston. I'd love to talk to those guys.
TTPBM: The one-word-existence thing.

MJ, yes, of course it was a DW reference. XD
Hmm, to answer my own "one word" thing. Well. *slightly embarrassed* Gabby. I'd have to use that. When I was little my parents and brother called me that because I talked, or "gabbed" all the time. Seriously, my sister recalls that I was speaking in complete sentences by time I was a new two year old. And everything else was delayed...walking, etc. So, even though I hate it, I was nicknamed Gabby, and so it'll be my word. XD
TTPBM
If any author, living or dead, had dedicated a book to you, which author would you want to do so? And which of his/her books would you wanted him to have dedicated?

Haha, awesome.
J.R.R. Tolkien, I suppose. Maybe The Hobbit . . . but really, anything dedicated to me by Tolkien would be unbelievably fantastic.
TTPBM: You?

TTPBM
Randomly make up a "life goal" right now, one you've never really thought about, and promise yourself to do it. (Example: Pie someone in the face, see Mt. Rushmore, etc.)

Buy a carton of eggs and draw faces on them.
TTPBM:
Die in your sleep in an old folk's home, surrounded by friends and family, and be forgotten . . .
or,
Die painfully on the battlefield, alone, but be remembered through the ages for your bravery and valour?

Probably the second one. However, I'd want to carry with me, before entering the battlefield, letters to all my loved ones, revealing true feelings. And I would want to die quickly, not slow.
TTPBM:
Die young (mid twenties) in the arms of your beloved spouse after an accident, or live a long, full life and die of old age and natural causes, 12 years after your spouse had passed?

I meant slowly, but dying quickly with excruciating pain would be okay.
The latter. It wouldn't be fair to leave them at such a young age; nor would I want them to suffer that. If I lived, we'd spend longer together, and achieve more.
TTPBM: Live forever (on earth), or die tomorrow?

Die tomorrow.
Achieve all your life goals but lose the person you love most or achieve nothing in life but know that the person you love is somewhere in safety?

Lose as in . . . they die?
Would choosing the former make me a murderer?
If I actually had a choice, I suppose I'd pick the latter.
TTPBM: Cause the death of your family, but your whole country lives, or kill or your entire country, but your family lives?

Erm...either way my family dies so the first.
Same

Sorry, I didn't phrase that right --
Cause the death of your family, but your whole country lives, or kill or your entire country, but your family lives?
Aaand I'd choose the former, but it'd be awful.
TTPBM: Same.

TTPBM: Same.
Really guys, at least we are being eco friendly by recycling!!I guess the first?
TTPBM: Wants to donate their organs when they die? (I know, morbid, but it's all you guy's fault because you started the topic of death!!)
Uh... No. Id rather my organs stay inside my body... Call me selfish... I'm just creeped out by the fact that when I die, someone else will get my heart or something... *shudders*
Same?
Same?
Yes, but they will be safely genetically engineered by that time.TTPBM: Wants to get off the macabre thread of conversation...?
Certainty (after looking up what macabre means).
TTPBM: Has watched the DW episode The Rings of Akhatan (I'm watching it right now)?
TTPBM: Has watched the DW episode The Rings of Akhatan (I'm watching it right now)?
No, but I want too so bad. It's the one with Emilia Jones, yes? :D She's the daughter of my mum's favourite singer. ^_______^ My mum played his music so much when I was a kid that it's embedded into my brain. :P
I did just watch Turn Left, though. Worst DW episode in the history of worst DW episodes. *shudders*
TTPBM: Has watched the episode Turn Left? Thoughts?

TTPBM: Has watched the episode Turn Left? Thoughts?
I don't think so?? I kinda started with the fifth season of the New Who and have now gone back to the first season of the New Who so things are reallly confusing sometimes (in addition to it being Timey Wimey).TTPBM: Is a Whovian?
I like to think of myself as one. ;P
(It's a series 4 episode. The Doctor's hardly in it, and it's all about what would have happened if Donna hadn't met the Doctor in The Runaway Bride . . . it's awful. xD I mean, it's a good episode (dat ending), but it's one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. ROSE, THOUGH.)
TTPBM: Has watched an episode of Doctor Who in the last week?

Last classic I read was Hamlet.
Favourite classic would be Pride & Prejudice or The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Or The Hobbit/LOTR, if they count. TOO MANY. xDD
TTPBM You?

TTPBM You?
Too many indeed. xDMy favorite would either be--P&P or Sherlock, too. xD The last one I read though was Jane Eyre. REALLY good. Loved that one so much. <3
TTPBM: Last song you listened to?
Umm.
Goodness, I can't remember. I haven't listened to anything in a while. Let's see . . . *opens iTunes* *puts on shuffle* The Healing Has Begun, by Matthew West.

Erm.. Let me see... *checks YT history* This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FF4Hy... But as in, an actual SONG, it was probably Pompeii by Bastille (my favorite, currently).
TTPBM: First chapter book you ever remember reading?

Probably stuff about how they effected my life and what they mean to me. Then I would put how they helped me grow closer to God and thank them for all they taught me about Him. I'd probably add how I'm sorry for anything that I did that hurt them or just plain annoyed them. Then it would end saying how they've helped me grow, learn, and experience great stuff and what I would like them to do for me. I'm not sure what else I would put...
TTPBM: same
