Top Ten Tuesday: Facts About Moi

---

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Happy Tuesday everyone!  How was your weekend?  I was pretty much stuck at home doing the #MakeMeRead readathon A WEEK AFTER I DID THE #AZDiverse readathon!  Whew!  I didn’t know I could read as fast as I did, but hey, I did pretty well.

Anywho, this weeks’ TTT is about MOI!  YES ME, THE BLOGGER!  If you don’t already know me.  ANYWAY.

Do you want to get to know me better?  If you do,

PLEASE

READ

ON!

Aesop’s Fables

My great grandmother told me stories about the turtle and the hare, the monkey and the turtle were my favorites!  I believe she embellished and told me other stories that were totally made up but I LOVED THEM!  I used to visit my great grandmother who lived with my grandparents on the weekends and I would badger her to tell me MOAR!  I was between the ages 5-8 and my grandparents had a coconut tree in front of their house and a lot of huge big green lizards and she loved to make-up stories about those.  Gah, I miss those days.

Documentaries

I absolutely watching documentaries, preferably anything about history, also English history, and I swear I passed Renaissance English Lit because of my love for these documentaries.  I’m also fascinated with the decades (the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, etc).  And I have no idea why.  Oh, and yes, ALIENS!  Ancient Aliens and anything about conspiracy theories!  And let’s not forget about SPACE!  Sometimes, I watch WWII documentaries.  I know I’m weird.  But hey, I actually get emails from Netflix letting me know that there are new documentaries available! XD

Greek Mythology

Anther fascination I had when I was about 8-ish was Greek Mythology.  My cousin had illustrated children’s book about Greek Mythology that I just gobbled up!  It’s those short hardback illustrated classics (can’t remember who published those) that I gobbled up!  At that tender age, I knew about Jason and the Argonauts (Jason and the Golden Fleece), Perseus and the Minotaur, Hercules and the 12 Labors and so on.  I MEAN THEY ARE SO FASCINATING, NO WONDER I LOVE GREEK MYTHOS!

Disney

I basically grew up on Disney.  I had a VHS copy of EVERY animated feature film until I was in high school and until Disney stopped making animated ones and started doing more CGI films.  That doesn’t mean I didn’t watch those, only that I didn’t get a copy.  See, I grew up in a small city in the Philippines and we didn’t have those films available for purchase.  Luckily my mom was living in the US and sent one every year.  Also, that was the ONLY time I knew what Disney was working on next because I could see the previews.  YES, THERE WAS NO INTERNET YET!  THE HORROR!  XD

Fan Fic

OMG GUYS!  In middle school, I used to write Sweet Valley fan fics!  AHAHAHA NO you MAY NOT READ THEM because I absolutely have no idea where they are!  The best part?  Picking character names!  I know this is super mainstream but back then in the mid-90s, without the Internet (well, we didn’t have Internet yet), I never heard of fan fiction, only that I wrote characters inspired by my favorite series, Sweet Valley!

Poetry

Shortly after I was writing fan fic (see above), I started high school.  Naturally, I was an angsty teenager and was more into writing gothic poetry about feelings and death and all those gothic-ness.  I laugh just thinking about that.  I still have some of my writings, but I can’t find my more angsty ones, just the lovey dovey ones.  *wink

Introvert

I am an introvert.  I only have a few friends and I don’t care.  OKAY, I have come out of my shell, well, sort of, but I’m still an introvert at heart!

I started blogging in 1998

Gaaahh, I can’t believe how far I’ve come!  But yeah, before the blog was the IN thing, I was already blogging.  I think I was on GoPlay then and I was hooked.  A lot of blog and blog changes later, you have THIS, my latest blog that I have kept running for three years!

I can only think of 8 random things right now, so I will leave you with that!  Hope you had fun getting to know me!  Now, let’s get to know YOU!
