SS is a bit different I think as it's not an award, I guess it's a meme? Honestly all these new-fangled terms ~rocks in rocking chair~<br /><br />I was really confused for a moment there, I thought you were talking about Mr Knightley from Emma (Jane Austen) and got really excited but you weren't, just Keira!<br /><br />Yes. So I remembered having this conversation with friends about Marvel and I knew we'd talked about TWS, but I couldn't remember if they'd said, “We really want to show you the Captain America film we have but you need to have watched TWS first", or if they'd said, “TWS is really good but you need to have watched the others first." And I tried to remember and I thought it was maybe the former. BUT IT WASN'T. I didn't not enjoy the film but I guess I would've been more emotionally invested if I'd had the backstories etc.<br /><br />~sighs in a pit of despondency~ Alas for the children of the world with no knowledge ~gazes into the middle distance~ Alas for overlooked Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales ~single tear falls from my glassy eye~ Alas, alas ...<br /><br />One day soon I hope ;)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-12626010579632551692016-04-13T02:28:46.809+01:002016-04-13T02:28:46.809+01:00Are you talking about Starting Sparks?
That's...Are you talking about Starting Sparks?<br /><br />That's amusing (about Knightley). XD<br /><br />You saw Winter Soldier! But ack, I can see how it would be totally confusing without having watched like, at least two or three certain movies first. (Specifically Captain America: the First Avenger, and Avengers.) But good for you for giving superheroes another try. ;)<br /><br />2. That's what I was thinking but couldn't put into words! Thank you!<br /><br />6. OH MY GOODNESS, I HAVE BEEN A NAIVE LITTLE DRAGON FOR YEARS. That explains SO much! Wow. I'm a little embarrassed, actually. XD I always thought England and Britain were the same thing--shame on me. But this makes so much sense now. Thank you for educating me! :D<br /><br /><3<br />Heheh...one day down the road...Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-207734254063154062016-04-11T07:08:38.040+01:002016-04-11T07:08:38.040+01:00I actually did that once, if you can believe it! B...I actually did that once, if you can believe it! Bless my little heart ...<br /><br />I've not seen it. I'm not a massive fan of her, her mouth annoys me. (I liked her in The Imitation Game, but that's basically it!)<br /><br />I Pin his stuff a lot, I need to actually get a book, though.<br /><br />Never watched OUaT! And I will, thank you. <3<br /><br />I'll tell you when it arrives ;)<br /><br />I WATCHED IT ON THE PLANE! The Winter Soldier. Refer to my comment to Kat XD<br /><br />2. Definitely more immersive, because when they were written they were, as it were, contemporaries. As in, Austen was writing about the time she was living in. Therefore you don't have the “backgrounding" I talk about in the vlog, because the characters are actually organic in the setting. Of course, there are some classics that were historical fiction when they were written, eg Les Mis, A Tale of Two Cities ... But once again, I think Hugo/Dickens wrote those books because they were really interested in the time period (in those cases, the two French Revolutions of 1793 and 1832), and the characters came second. Rather than just wanting to write a romance and deciding to throw Waterloo in there ...<br /><br />6. TRACEY, NO. I LIVE IN SCOTLAND. WHICH IS BRITAIN. So, England and Britain are not the same thing, contrary to belief of some. I am English, and therefore also British. I live in Scotland (because logic), but if I were Scottish I would STILL be British. BECAUSE ENGLAND AND BRITAIN ARE NOT THE SAME THING. (And no, this doesn't rile me AT ALL! XD )<br /><br />I DID. And your second monster comment ^_^<br />Yes, I really do hate recordings of myself. But I think everyone does?? Looking forward to seeing your vlog ;)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-66785902814314896952016-04-11T05:44:31.635+01:002016-04-11T05:44:31.635+01:00You're welcome!

And hot cross buns are THE BEST THING EVER, almost literally.<br /><br />I WATCHED THE WINTER SOLDIER ON THE PLANE ON THE WAY HERE, SPECIFICALLY FOR ALL YOU GUYS! (Except, I didn't really understand most of it and I think I needed to watch the other one first? I didn't know which was this so I just took a chance and I think I got it wrong.)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-53922660760026121382016-04-09T19:39:00.210+01:002016-04-09T19:39:00.210+01:00Thank you for the nomination!

XD<br /><br />That's the one. I loved her performance. (And Matthew Macfadyen was a great Darcy, IMO.)<br /><br />XD I haven't read any of his stuff. Actually, I don't think I've even heard of him till now?<br /><br />Horrifying indeed. I need to rectify this situation. Especially since I like the Once Upon a Time version of Mulan so much. Oh, and do keep us eager readers posted on the uni vs. gap year stuff going on. <3<br /><br />*snorts in an unladylike manner and sends you a cake mix instead*<br /><br />LOL, not like you HAVE to watch it. Just IF you ever decide to see another superhero flick. ;)<br /><br />2. I haven't given it oodles of thought, but you're so right! Classics can be almost kind of contemporary, and they seem... I don't know, more immersive than your typical historical fiction? I feel like there's some overlap between the genres, but they're not one and the same. (Just like fantasy and sci-fi are not the same, amiright? XD)<br />3. You tricksy dragon.<br />6. XD (And now I fail to remember whether you're British or Scottish, and whether you're living in England or Scotland. >.< I know we discussed this once, but I'm too lazy at this late hour to go search for it.)<br />9. Why, thank you. *smiles imperiously*<br /><br />I'M SO GLAD YOU FOUND MY MONSTER COMMENT ENJOYABLE. ^_^<br />Re: vlogs: Well, that's actually reassuring. Do you hate recordings of yourself too? I think I sound weird over the phone/on video/etc. XD But I guess everyone feels that way about their own voices. Excellent tips! I shall keep them in mind. (Yes.

They need new blood.)<br /><br />Is that the Keira version?<br /><br />Or Charles BAEkowski as I call him.<br /><br />#5 THAT'S HORRIFYING. Thank you for #7 <33 I was at an open day today for St Andrews but ack, gap year is looking more likely by the minute.<br /><br />~eats virtual cake~ This doesn't taste quite right somehow ....<br /><br />Captain America, all right, I guess ~grudgingly shuffles feet~<br /><br />I'm doing that procrastination ritual right now XD<br /><br />You must read it! IT'S AMAZING! ~runs around in circles~ I mean, just, Shakespeare, man ...<br /><br />I'm glad you were entertained!<br /><br />1. Gee, how could you?<br />2. THERE IS SUCH A DIFFERENCE. THE DIFFERENCE IS NEVER-ENDING. (Thanks! XD You're the first person to comment on it. I don't feel very validated.)<br />3. You did! I fooled you all with that one because you were all focussing on the dreads XD<br />4. Congrats!<br />5. IT'S SO GOOD, YOU MUST WATCH IT. IT'S AMAZING.<br />6. It's a subject of contention in Britain. Lots of Scots say YO-gurt.<br />7./8./9. You're welcome for your education. And well done, #9 fooled most people ;)<br /><br />Definitely could've been worse! I'm so glad you liked the vlog (seriously, this comment gave me life, I loved it, THIS IS WHY I BLOG). You should totally do it, though! You always think your vlogs are way more awkward/embarrassing than they actually are. Remember, watching yourself back is always horrible and also you already know what you're going to say because you said it. Your followers don't have either of those problems. My advice is, read the questions a couple of days before filming so you can mull them over on the train / in the shower / before you go to sleep, so that you have some idea what you're going to say, and when you're filming, DON'T LOSE YOUR MOMENTUM. Don't um or er, just keep powering on.<br /><br />Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-46841201725890051382016-04-06T21:02:56.280+01:002016-04-06T21:02:56.280+01:00Thank you!

(I have a theory that about 50% of the tags out there are all cousins.)<br /><br />So far I've seen only the '05 version of P&P. Good to hear there's another good version of it around!<br /><br />I really like that Charles Bukowski quote about people wasting their lives.<br /><br />#5. Oh, you should be GLAD you don't work in my store! I listen to country music there every. day. And come home with the songs in my head--songs about driving trucks and kissing cowgirls (or cowboys, depending on the singer's gender) and drinking beer and swimming in the river and fishing and dancing at the bar and SOMEBODY HELP ME. XD Now, I've never been exposed to folk music, so I don't know what my opinion is on that.<br /><br />#7: Praying for wisdom and guidance for you! That's not an easy decision. I went out of high school intending to take a gap year, which turned into two. (I would have preferred just one, but that's how the cookie crumbled. Getting a job took longer than expected.) But anyway, I have a favorable outlook on gap years, though I can understand going straight into post-secondary education too.<br /><br />#8 Same with me, actually!<br /><br />Have fun in Singapore! And HOORAY, CONGRATS ON FINISHING DRAFT 3!!! *ships cake across the pond*<br /><br />And now for the vlog... (Yikes, this is going to be a monster comment. XD) *whispers* love your accent! Heehee, glad you liked the Toy Story question. I love those movies too--masterful indeed!<br /><br />*GASP* I'm part of the Marvel-loving masses, so... XD If you ever watch another superhero movie, I hiiighly recommend the Captain America ones.<br /><br />(Don't worry. I've been perfectly terrible at getting to my own tags lately. >.<)<br /><br />I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE TIGER QUESTION CAME FROM. IT JUST CAME. XD<br /><br />That is an excellent view on writing rituals. *nods* My only 'ritual' is probably some form of procrastination, which really shouldn't be the case. But you know, checking email, blogs, etc. :P<br /><br />Your hero friend sounds awesome! I take my hat off to her as well.<br /><br />World domination. Emily, why'd you have to reveal our secret? XD<br /><br />Romeo and Juliet--the most epic sinking of all time. (Though, confession: I've yet to read that.) I'm often like you. My ships tend to be fairly canon.<br /><br />You are welcome, and thanks so much for those entertaining answers! :D<br /><br />Dragon game:<br />1. Way to start off on the wrong foot, Tracey. I got that wrong. XD<br />2. I got this wrong as well. LOL. I suppose there's a difference between historical fiction and classics. (Lovely Scottish brogue, btw!)<br />3. ACK, I GOT THAT WRONG TOO. (But I did remember the dreads.) You must post pictures of your upcoming hairstyles. :)<br />4. At last, I got one right!<br />5. Wrong again. (Maybe I am the only one in the world who has yet to watch Mulan... XD)<br />6. I got the yogurt one correct. (And I love how you pronounce it YOGG-urt instead of YO-gurt.)<br />7. I am getting so educated. *cough* The backpack one I also answered wrongly. Nice one from Chile!<br />8. Woot, another point for me!<br />9. And one last point for guessing you didn't write much poetry.<br /><br />Four out of nine. Could've been worse. This was fun, Emily! Great vlog! And thank you for tagback. I'm currently undecided as to whether I'll answer these in a vlog or not. I feel like it would be awkward to have a one-sided conversation with a camera.
