Summer of 51’s Day 1: Risk Assessment

I used to see these signs while driving through the mountains, and honestly, who isn’t always thinking of Johnny’s Smokey the Bear poster? 😌

Honestly not sure if this makes any sense for the prompt but it’s what came to mind for it. Also i will be posting these prompts alternating between my other account and this one depending on how much i like them tbh. Background image credits!!

Thank you for tagging me, @oldtvlover and @jh-sketches! ☺️

Favorite color: Purple of any shade. 💜

Last song: I was listening to my Rick Astley playlist (as I do, very often) on Spotify earlier, and the last song was 'I Like the Sun’ from his 50 album. ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ may have come on right after that one, but I stopped listening to the playlist before the song went over, so I’ll count the former one as the last song and spare everyone the Rickroll. 😜

Currently reading: Well, I finished reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman around the end of last year, and had started on the second book of the series, The Man Who Died Twice, shortly after. I'm a few chapters in, but haven't continued reading it for months now. I guess that's partly due to lack of free time because the family and I were busy planning my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary party, as well as due to the fact that I choose to read fanfics more often. I’m also usually using any downtime I have to work on gifs or vids, so the book has been placed on the back burner at the moment. But I’ll get back to it!

Currently watching: Still watching Emergency! a lot of nights on tv, and haven’t really invested in anything new lately. But as far as in-progress shows go, I do watch the new All Creatures Great and Small series, as well as Stranger Things, so I’m looking forward to the next season of those. I also watch episodes of Columbo when I see them on, and Formula 1 every race weekend.

Currently craving: More free time to make gifs and vids, especially with the ‘Summer of 51’s’ event coming up next month! 😁 I do want to make some more Rick Astley and Alex Albon content at some point too, so just wish we had more time in a day… *sigh*

Coffee or tea: I had always just been a tea drinker till a few years ago. I've never liked the taste of coffee, and still don't necessarily love it, but I do enjoy drinking a glass of cold coffee on the weekends with lots of milk, and most importantly, chocolate syrup added to it. If it isn't cold and mocha-flavored, then I'm pretty much out. 😅 But always down for a nice cup of tea!

No pressure tags: Amongst the E! fandom, I would like to tag @joanofart5, @cairistiona7, @zucchinigal and @effulgentpoet, and also a couple of fellow Rick fans I’ve encountered on here, @crusheswhimsandfancies and @thismustbeheaven. I shall also tag @alx-albon and @alexalblondo, and @mymycorrhizae because I love her! 😉💕

I was tagged by @hoppkorv Hey thank you for tagging me!! 😊

Rules: answer + tag 9 people you want to get to know better and/or catch up with .

favorite color: Green!

last song: Wanted For Love by Jerry Jeff Walker

currently reading: Song of Susannah by Stephen King (almost done with the Dark Tower series!)

currently watching: I haven't really been watching a lot of shows lately mostly just stuff on youtube and random episodes of Seinfeld. The last full series I watched was The Sopranos and I'm literally already thinking about a rewatch.

currently craving: A deeper connection with the people and world around me. Or something idk.

coffee or tea: I enjoy tea but I'm obsessed with coffee.

Tagging @carmichaelthepolarbear @brian-mays-hair @warrenzevon @someguywriting @tantamount-treason @ninetimesbluedemo @bluehairandproverbs @fr0ggi3b0i (if you'd like to do this!)
