From a Liebster Awardee

I was awarded by Arielle from Spaceship to Infinity!

The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say “You’re doing a great job." It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it’s also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs and get them more readers and followers!

When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person(s) who nominated you. You pass the Award onto 11 other blogs (make sure you tell them you nominated them!) and ask them 11 questions. You’re not allowed to nominate the blog(s) who nominated you!

The 11 random facts:

1. I am fascinated by art and creativity. Graphic design, painting, theatre, writing--they all inspire me.
2. Stories affect me too much. I often act like fictional characters are real. *cough Percy Jackson Leo Valdez Jo March Lucy Pevensie cough cough cough*
3. Although I'm a teenager, I read more children's books than teen and adult books.
4. Book stores excite me.
5. I often judge a book by its cover. Also by its fonts and paper quality.
6. Sometimes I stop doing something because everyone else is doing it. Is it hipster-like of me to say so?
7. I often feel like my sentences are too long.
8. I think our generation needs to stop trying to grow up so fast.
9. I have a silent, thoughtful side and a weird, funny side, and I am torn between which voice to use online.
10. I can't eat tacos properly.
11. I think you are all awesome.

The 11 answers:

1. What is your dream job? I would love to be either an art director or a graphic designer.
2. Any favourite quotes? I've come across hundreds that have made me stop and think, but the one that I can never seem to forget is this one from Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery: "It's not what the world holds for you. It's what you bring to it."
3. If you could teleport anywhere, where would you go? Narnia, definitely.
4. Who is your favourite book character? It's a tie between Lucy Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia and Leo Valdez from the Heroes of Olympus series. I like Lucy's sweet, youthful nature and her faith in Aslan. With Leo, I like that he's incredibly hilarious yet underneath that, his character is such a deep one too.
5. What is your favourite animated film? Disney/Pixar films are awesome. I really like Up and Tangled.
6. Do you play any instruments? Yes, I play the piano and a little bit of guitar.
7. Would you rather live on the beach or near a forest? Beach. The sound of waves is lovely, especially in the morning.
8. What's your all time favourite blog? I don't really have just one favourite. I like looking through a mix of different blogs, specifically Cupcake Dictionary, Ink and Iridescence, Capture Life, Unoriginal Originality, Wanderrgirl and Spaceship to Infinity. :)
9. Pencil or pen? For writing, pen. For drawing, pencil.
10. What song always cheers you up on a bad day? "Love Will Find You" by The Museum
11. What is your favourite non-domestic animal? I like owls. I collect things with owl designs on them, although I think they're a little creepy in real life.

The 11 questions:

1. If you had a time machine, which time period would you go to?
