Did Jeff Greene post this?

Never gotten tagged before, this seems neat though, let's see how it goes

Actually my second time attempting to write this, lost all my tabs mid process before. Second tries the charm though:

1. First of five things I like but not necessarily my favorite thing, bowling. I'm on my schools bowling team, and go a little bit in my free time, and I dunno it's just kinda fun. And its the only sport I can actually do decently, most recent high score is a 143. And yeah, that's not great, but for me it's pretty cool.

2. Sammy and Awesomesauce are my best friends so obviously they deserve a well earned spot on this list. There's not about anything I wouldn't do for them if they asked, their both the just such great people.

3. LEMON DEMON!! Look, I love Lemon Demon, I listen to him all the time, normally getting two to three albums in a day. And it's not that I don't like other music, or other artists a lot(Tally Hall, Jack Stauber, Oingo Boingo, ect), but I dunno to me Lemon Demon is just the best. You find the best burger ever, you always eat that burger. You find the best artist ever, you always listen to that artist.

4.Kinda obvious for anyone whose seen my blog, but obviously writing. I really like to write all sorts of genres, practically anything but romance(against it as genre on principle, but not against stories with romance((*Dicey and Greene*))), and one day I want to be an author. Obviously that won't pay the bills though so still need to figure out a better plan.

5. Really goes hand in hand with the last one but I quite enjoy reading. Last I checked my favorite book is And then there were None(ten people are lured to an island and killed off by U. N. Own). I'm currently reading The Illustrated Man(eighteen stories are witnessed playing out upon the skin in someone's tattoos), and House of Leaves(someone finds a book that doesn't make sense about a movie that isn't real about a house that can't exist).

Okay now it's my understanding I'm supposed to @ someone now, not really sure who, so sorry if you didn't want picked

@starisinsane , @pikalovernya , @sillylittlegirlfrommars , @dyrewrites ,

"List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡" Thanks to @daydream-dryad-13, @dorianbrightmusic, and @0rchidrose for sending me this! I'll also be tagging rather than leaving in askboxes so I can better keep track of who I've sent it to.

When someone lets me know about something they think is interesting - this can be something as small as "hey look at this cool rock I found", or it can be someone explaining a topic they're interested in in considerable depth. i LOVE it when all you amazing people share interesting things with me!

People responding to stuff i've put out in the world - whether that's a "you ok?" after a vent, or a "ooh that reminds me of this!" after a blurble, or a "but hear me out, what if this" after an idea - you're telling me that a REAL PERSON not only LISTENED but JOINED IN??!? amazing.

I have recently discovered that there's a gluten-free French bakery about 15min walk from my house, and i am DELIGHTED. you're telling me there's this dude who heard we can't eat croissants, and not only did he go "damn that sucks" he went and STARTED AN ENTIRE BAKERY ABOUT IT??!? and there's sourdough?! which i haven't got to try yet cos it's only baked a few times a week and it sells fast and i'm busy but there are also ham and cheese croissants. which are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS??!? granted, i am still suspiciously lacking in bagels specifically but I GET TO EAT CROISSANTS AGAIN AND THEY ARE DELICIOUS. this is a VERY good thing and i am VERY happy about it!

Bob Mintzer's piece Computer. The computer-y sections pop and bounce just like the inside of my brain and it's SO fun; and the opening chords never fail to bring a smile to my face. (It's now stuck in my head, which i'm looking forward to enjoying for the rest of the day!)

Silly bad jokes/puns. When someone gets me with the 'hi X, i'm name' or similar - like, fuck you (on principle) but I love it. and when i get someone in a similar way - it's just so good! another one that always amuses me is "where's my fucking [item]?" "over there next to your regular [item]" - you understand the style? yeah.

there are many other things that make me happy (singing, in general; for one) but those are 5 specific examples that came to mind! now, for the 10 people who've reblogged me most recently that haven't sent me this yet: @atimewillcomeforsinging @musicalyikes @chilly-moss @mac-attac @verycisdragon @amastelaire @astronomical-bagel @most-definitively-a-human @thefairfeline and 1 other who I can't seem to tag, so I'll leave it in their askbox instead! And anyone else that would like to join - what makes you happy, you amazing people?!

Okay, honestly, I've never once cried over a character death

Not saying I don't get sad. The old man who kills himself in Shawshank wrecks me, I feel terrible, but (VERY ANNOYING) I only ever get to right before the tears.

So, has a book or movie ever made me cry?

Yes.

Example(one of the few)?

Reblog if you've ever cried over the death of a fictional character

Okay

I'm not gonna pretend I don't like romance, I quite heavily shipped Dicey and Jeff in the Tillerman Cycle when I was younger

I'm not going to pretend I don't like dumb romcoms, Serendipity will always be a great movie

I'm not going to pretend I don't like enemies to lovers plotlines, Buffy and Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and their whole messy, conflicting ark is really good

But something want hearing someone refer to a book as an enemies to lovers romcoms, as a way to introduce the book, doesn't feel right

You could have read the blurb on the back(if it has one) and done better
