21 questions

Tagged by @luce-verde, oh dear! Finally you tagged me yay! !Ahhh I’ve lived to see the day this really happened!!! I’m so lucky! (sorry for the tease)

Rules: answer twenty-one questions and tag twenty-one people

AHAHAHAAHAH!!! THERE’S REALLY SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO THINKS I KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE, I’M CACKLING!!! So, like my dear friend @luce-verde told us all when she tagged me here, I’m not gonna pretend I know that many people, but I do have the intention of tagging some friends I have here :)))) Namely @livehorses (hey I’m back just because today I’m on a break from studying, but I’ll tell you better on Discord <3), @ilkiwer (know you ain’t here for these silly games, but I’ll boldly ignore that and tag you anyway), @reflected-reflection (hey! Long time no see, hope you’re okay <3). And of course I’d tag luce-verde, but she beat me on this and tagged me, agghhh!!

Nicknames: I have a range of nicks that started in elementary school, and some I disliked back then but now love, like one based on my surname, and the one I get called the most is my name’s short version. And don’t get me started on what my parents call me. It’s embarassing.

Zodiac: Capricorn

Height: 1.69 last time I measured (and it was about five months ago. For the record nothing changed from last year, I’ve stopped growing in height it seems). I don’t know what’s in the American measure system, so I’ll search it. It’s 5.6 and something.

Hogwarts house: Proud Slytherin here

Last thing I googled: Converting your height in feets

Fave musicians: Well.... I have like so many?????? I can’t decide, aggghhhh!!!!! I might as well skip this one? If you’re interested in a long list, send a message :)

Song stuck in your head: “Rockabye” by Clean Bandit, but soemtimes it changes to “Another One Bites the Dust“ (I love Queen).

Following: Lots of blogs I follow I follow for the fandom, then I follow people I think are funny (like I follow one guy who posts lots of funny things) and blogs that reflects my interests.

Followers: I have some friends who follow me, friends I have irl, I mean. But they’re like four people, Then, I dunno how I got all the other followers, I have some who became great friends (@livehorses​, @watcher-evervigilant I’m talking about you <3)

Do you get asks: Never got one, but I got messages tho. Does that count?

Amount of sleep: Uh? Rn that I’m studying for exams I think I sleep abt seven or six hours, when it was school period I slept sometimes about seven hours sometimes abt five (I had things to study, okay?) and probably when holidays will truly start, namely after I finish these goddamn exams, I’ll be sleeping about five hours again? Because I’ll stay up late at night catching up w tv series, animes, mangas, movies and books. (I’m downloading those like there’s no tomorrow exactly bc I plan to do just that at night when I don’t have wifi lol)

Lucky number: 3 or 7, I’m not sure. I also consider 14 a lucky number (not that it ever worked lol. Also, what kind of stupid question is this????)

What are you wearing: Right now? White t-shirt with blue anchors and dark blue shorts

Dream jobs: Translator, and please, don’t ask me anything abt this bc I had to write down about this for school and I still am offended by it.

Instruments: Oh! Oh!! This I like! This I really like!!! So, I play the flute and the piccolo, I can also play a little the trumpet and sometimes I enjoy myself with a recorder. That one time I tried to learn the guitar I broke a chord. Also I wanna learn piano and I can play one simple song on it (the start of Carols of the bells, for the record. For the record! Ah! Did you get it??? A recorder? For the record?)

Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, a lil bit of German, and I can read and understand spoken and written French, but my speaking skills are far behind what I’d like them to be. Can also understand Portuguese, but can’t speak it for the love of God.

Favourite songs: Same as fave musicians. I have too many lol

Random fact: I really love crime and mystery novels, like I’m a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes (Detective Conan w Shinichi Kudou anyone? It’s why I like that anime/manga so much, even tho it’s not my fave. Oops, two random facts. Meh, it’s okay)

Aesthetic: What? Just- what? If I really have too, mmmhhh, maybe a map of the world, books, a pen on a written papersheet, a music sheet and wild nature? Like, I really dunno. I’m trying, be kind!

------------------------------

When I was growing up, Christmas wasn’t complete without at least one playing of The Christmas Mood, a collection of twelve Alfred S. Burt carols sung by the Columbia Choir.  Alfred Burt was a jazz musician who, following a tradition started by his father, composed a Christmas carol each year and included the sheet music with the annual Christmas cards sent out by his family.  The Christmas Mood was recorded by Columbia Records in 1953.  Burt was by then in the terminal stages of cancer and conducted the early sessions from his wheelchair, dying before the recording was completed and released in 1954.  Several of these carols have since become standards, including “Caroling, Caroling”, “Some Children See Him” and “The Star Carol”.

Ten years later, in 1964, the first recording of all 15 of the Burt carols was recorded by The Voices of Jimmy Joyce, with new harmony arrangements created by a close friend of Burt’s, for an album called This is Christmas.  I used these recordings for this compilation, as the Columbia Choir versions used the same arrangements for each verse, whereas the new arrangements were more creative and changed throughout each song.  

And just for variety I interspersed the Burt carols with contemporary a cappella holiday recordings, including: a jazzy Christmas medley by the Swingle Singers; an extremely silly reggae version of “Little Saint Nick” (retitled “Rasta Reindeer”) by the Bobs; an ethereal arrangement of “Stilla Natt” (“Silent Night”) by the Real Group, from Sweden; the dense harmonies of “Auld Lang Syne” as performed by Rio Nido, and “Frosty the Snowman” by the Caroling Carollers, a group which included all three of the Roche sisters - this is pretty much the same arrangement they later used on their Christmas album, We Three Kings.

The cover art is another one of my hand-drawn atrocities.

Favourite band(s): currently i’m into kpop............. so my favourite bands are EXO, BTS, GOT7, SHINee. but overall i like -- one direction (rip anyone from old OL remember when i first got into them....... i was shamed), the beatles, florence and the machine, green day, fall out boy, the killers, city & colour, patd, idk i listen to anything and everything. most of these are my Founding Fathers (fob, green day, patd) that i listened to in my formative years as an emo kid, so i can’t let them go. 

Favourite song(s): listen....... “in my life” by the beatles is probably my favourite song of all time. “beekeeper” by keaton henson, “foreigner’s god” by hozier, and “this is your life” by the killers are all really important to me.

Favourite book(s): the bell jar by sylvia plath.

Favourite quote: “I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart: I am, I am, I am.” - the bell jar, sylvia plath.

Favourite movie(s): hm i’m terrible w/ movies. “the fall” is still really important and amazing to me. “HP&PoA” is definitely like top five. “fantastic mr. fox” always makes me laugh and puts me in a good mood. 

Favourite tv shows: right now i’m into kdramas so idk if they count, so i’ll just say i love “w,” “weighlifting fairy kim bok joo,” and “goblin.” western shows, i’m into like........ none atm but in the past, i love the vampire diaries, supernatural, doctor who, lost, community, outlander (!!!!!), sense8, game of thrones, etc.

Are you active in any fandoms right now? ...... the kpop fandom......

What fandoms were you active in? mAN like... the 1d fandom until a year ago bc they broke my heart. i was active in the hp fandom, the book fandoms, etc. i tend to really only be into one thing at one time, so right now it’s everything k-related, but i still love a lot of things, i’m just not active in them really.

What tv shows or movies did you watch as a child that were fundamental to how you grew up? grease & the rocky horror picture show are my Founding Movies - we didn’t watch kid shows in my house lol. when i got older and could decide more for myself, i was really really into pokemon, dinotopia (does anyone rmr this shit omg), digimon.... i was a dinosaur/monster/animal kid. and then harry potter came along and that was me done for life.

What’s one thing you collect(ed): pokemon cards!!!! i also collected this dinosaur fact sheet book thing, where you ordered sheets on dinosaurs and they came in the mail, and you clipped them into a binder. my nan ordered them for me ;~; 

Spotify or youtube? i feel like opening spotify is such an ordeal but searching on youtube for music is a bitch, so. spotify.

Netflix or those sweet, sweet illegal downloads? listen........... i download because i don’t have netflix.

Have you ever been to a concert? If so, whose? *cracks knuckles* there isn’t a lot to do in australia and no one ever comes here so when they do!! we go all in!!! my first ever concert was My Chemical Romance, and I’ve seen them three times in total. I’ve seen Fall Out Boy twice, Green Day once, One Direction once, i’ve seen Panic! at the Disco (who had The Academy Is... and Cobra Starship opening for them omg) once, i’ve seen Mumford & Sons, Katy Perry, Troye Sivan, The Paper Kites, Michael Buble, Paramore, and i think that’s it. i’m seeing Panic! in a week and a bit!!!!

OTP: uhm... i think Remus Lupin/life. i really like wolfstar though. i also really like Nina/Matthias (from the book six of crows), blue/gansey (from TRC), ronan/adam (from TRC).

NOTP: snape/lily is literally...... disgusting, and i want to fight bare knuckled with anyone who ships them. meet me at dawn.

Currently watching: “hwarang” and “goblin,” which are both kdramas. i’m also rewatching “outlander.”

Currently reading: a darker shade of magic by v.e schwab. it’s interesting so far!

Currently listening to: right this second, it’s “relevator eyes” by the paper kites. in general, it’s been a lot of BTS.

If you could make everyone read one book, which would it be? tell the wolves i’m home, by carol rifka brunt. em is the one who told me about this book, and it honestly changed my life. it’s about a girl who loses her uncle to aids, and in the wake of his death, she gets to know his boyfriend. it’s weird and beautiful and magical, and i wish everyone could read it.

Hallmark Channel And SiriusXM Partnering On Holiday Music Channel

Don’t want to wait for your favorite holiday tunes? This is your moment

Get your bells ready to jingle all the way, people. The Hallmark Channel is launching its own radio station which will start playing holiday tunes in time with their “Countdown to Christmas” movie series beginning November 1. If this doesn’t put the happy in your holidays, nothing will.

The network will begin playing hits from yesterday and today on SiriusXM and they’re easy to find — the “Hallmark Channel Radio” will debut on channel 70 and this is the exact sort of good news we can get behind.

What do you get when you combine #CountdowntoChristmas, @siriusxm and @HallmarkChannel's biggest stars? Hallmark Channel Radio! Now you can fill your day with classic Christmas music and carols starting November 1!

A post shared by Hallmark Channel (@hallmarkchannel) on Oct 23, 2018 at 8:12am PDT

And if you’re thinking, ‘Who on earth will be qualified enough to host such a classic playlist,’ you’ll be pleased to find out it’s none other than Fuller House actress and Hallmark Christmas star, Candace Cameron Bure.

When you aren’t getting your Drummer Boy on, stay tuned in for Hallmark Channel royalty like LeAnn Rimes, Holly Robinson Peete, Lacey Chabert, Kellie Pickler, and others who will stop by to chat with Bure about all things Christmas.

As someone who already has their Christmas sheets on their bed (compliments of Charlie Brown and Vermont Country Store, of course), this is the best news I’ve heard since finding out there’s a Harry Potter advent calendar.

The Hallmark “Countdown to Christmas” festivities kick off on October 27 this year with Christmas at Pemberley Manor (followed quickly by Christmas Joy and It’s Christmas Eve), and Hallmark already announced earlier this year they’d be having another record-breaking year with not 35, not 36, but 37 films and an original soundtrack. If you’re not willing to wait until November to hear your favorite seasonal songs (and really, who is?), download the original soundtrack called ‘It’s Christmas, Eve,’ featuring an entire album of original songs written by its star, LeAnn Rimes.

If you’re one of those, “omg, can’t we at least get through Halloween before we start singing holiday carols?” I would like to be the first to tell you, “No, no we cannot.” If you’re inclined to wait, so be it. The rest of us will be rocking out in our cars to a little ‘Santa Claus is coming to town’ by the Boss himself, smiling smugly to ourselves.

Once the programming on Sirius begins, you can get your Christmas on through the SiriusXM app on smartphones, as well as online. Of course, the tunes will be jamming 24/7 so no matter the time of day, it’ll always be the most wonderful time of the year.
