Moonie's Ramblings

[Prof. Moonie]

Jim Beaver: I once had a firecracker explode in my mouth.

I have to say... I'm quite intrigued about the story behind this little random fact he posted.

Jim Beaver: John Wayne called my house to invite me to be his guest at a press conference when I was 16, but I missed the call because I was there trying unsuccessfully to sneak in.

Haha! How funny!

Jim Beaver: I never had a cavity till I was over 50.

*claps* Well done, Jim!

[Prof. Moonie]

I'm almost done with Princess Bride! It definitely helped getting the printed version of the book, rather than trying to read it in its PDF format. Especially at the rate I was going with it, lol.
 

[Prof. Moonie]

It's amusing how many people think that Anastasia and The Swan Princess are Disney films. But they're not!

Instead of URL, I'm answering this in terms of my username. It originally started off as a nickname/shortened version of a Harry Potter OC of mine.

Someone who expresses their love to their child, knows when to set boundaries but doesn't overwhelm the child (let the child have some freedom to explore and learn), and supports their child's dreams - no matter what they may be.

Rarely.

[Prof. Moonie]

1. Tell me about the book you read, or the film you watched, and the moment that absolutely captivated you.
Anytime a book, film, or show pulls me into their universe completely that I imagine being part of that world is a sign that it's good one. They are the ones where it takes awhile to regather myself in the real world because I'm become so self-immersed in the universe. It's not just a means of escape from the hard times in real life, but it is also an opportunity to learn more about myself. Usually my favorite characters are reflections of myself.

2. Do you think you’re at all like your star sign?
Some aspects I'm definitely like. Others not so much. But that's the beauty of being born on a cusp. I get a mixture of traits from both signs.

3. Is there a painting out there that you can say is your favourite? Which one?
"Starry Night" by Van Gogh

4. Do you have a favourite tree?
Cedar.

5. What’s your love language? How do you best express your love? How do you like to be shown that you are loved?
I believe my love language is Quality Time or something like that. It's been awhile since I looked into that stuff, so I don't really know how to answer each question specifically.  

[Prof. Moonie]

6. What children’s book left the strongest imprint on you?


There's actually two books from my childhood that have stayed with me. I don't remember the plot specifically of both ones, but I just know that the titles have stayed with me. They were books I constantly went back to during my days in school.

7. Which book have you read that left the strongest idea of its world? Do you have a clear idea of its map?
The Harry Potter world. And I guess Cassandra Clare's series as well.

8. Please recommend me the best love story that you know of.
The romantic comedy film The Holiday.

9. Tell me about your fake names and pen names and what your parents almost named you.
My Dad liked the name Erin and my Mom would've like the name Michael for a boy. So, there's that.

My nickname-turned-second-name is Kissa. I chose it as a short version of my name to use in Japanese class. Meanings: "Cat" in Finnish, "Tea Drinking" in Japanese, and "First Born"/"Born After Twins" in African culture.

10. What is your favourite thing in your neighbourhood?
Being in nature.  

[Prof. Moonie]

11. Tell me about the hottest thing someone has said to you.
How about just having Mark Sheppard talk to me with that beautiful British accent of his? xd

12. Would you rather the power of water bending or shape shifting?
I guess shape shifting.

13. If you had to have a quote tattooed on you, what would it be?
"Close your eyes, but keep your mind wide open." *shrugs*

14. Tell me about the constellations you know.
I know quite a few constellations.

15. What would you grow in your orchard?
Whatever grew best in the particular area I had my orchard in. sweatdrop  

[Prof. Moonie]

16. How do you want to paint your home one day?
Depends on the house.

17. What is your patronus?
Probably a cat.

18. Do you kiss the way you’d like to be kissed?
I think I do.

19. If someone offered to massage you, where are you sorest? Do you take your daily anger out on your body? Is your work physically difficult?
A back massage would be nice right now. No. And not really - just a lot of standing and squatting.

20. Which song can you sing best?
There's a lot of songs I sing well.  

[Prof. Moonie]

21. Do you have a favourite form of art?
I love all forms of art, whether it's writing, paintings, or costume design.

22. Are you kind to your books, or do you bring them everywhere and bend them and draw in them?
I treat books with respect, whether they are mine or not.

23. Do you have a favourite essay? Do you have a favourite subject you can tell me about?
I don't have a favorite essay.

24. What do you wish was taught in public education?
Um... not sure.

25. The kettle is on, what sort of tea can I make you?
What tea do you have available? I enjoy all kinds.
