Special thanks to Nikkipedia for this cool written tag. She actually adapted it from a YouTube tag! I was born in 1993 so I feel confident in answering a lot of these questions. If you were a 90’s baby, you should try your hand at these! If you don’t want to dedicate a blog post to it, answer a question (or a few) of your choice in the comments!

I found this tag over at A Geek Girl’s Guide and thought it be a great post to feature on my blog! (And I’m writing waaayyy too many long posts this week that just aren’t ready yet so have a cool tagged post for now!) I encourage all of my blogger friends to participate and link back to Michelle’s initial post of the tag!
I wanted to do a fun list and share it here with you guys because 1) I really love lists and 2) I felt like I needed some positivity! Let’s share some positivity with a list of things that make us happy! Here’s just a few rules of the post:
The lovely Chrissie over at Vamp It Up Manchester was kind enough to nominate me for the Mystery Blogger Award! Thank you so much Chrissie! Chrissie shares edgy styles (a personal favorite of mine), cruelty free beauty, as well as vegetarian meals and restaurants she and her bloke try out. You should really check out her blog!
Mystery Blogger Award Preview:

May is looking to be a busy month blog-wise and personally. I know we’re already a week into the month but there’s so much planned! Our wedding shower is this month as well as some exciting immigration news (blog post coming on that)! For the blog, I have my first tech review in the works as well as another Top Ten post and more! Let’s relax a bit before things get too crazy with a tagged post! This awesome tagged post is courtesy of The LDG Mag. Check out their blog!
The Rules
Just for some fun, I’m going to pick horror games and try my best to roast them with one line. Tell me how bad I failed in the comments and try your hand at some witty liners on the games I picked yourself!
Instead of finding your wife, you decided to explore a terrible town and replace your wife with a hooker who looks like her.
You make all the dumb decisions for horror movie characters.
Maybe if the lead character would PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON, she could actually get away once in awhile.
When your sister has a bum leg, you end up doing all the work.
All of the kids are little shits.
If the grotesque scenes of violence don’t scare you, the endless running and simple puzzles will.
So maybe some of those weren’t that bad. I would love to hear some witty one liners in the comments for these games though. Take a shot at a few! As for nominations, I nominate anyone that reads this post and wants to take on this challenge. If you link back to me, I’ll be sure to like and comment on your post. Let’s spread some laughter!
Just a few tags of people I think would enjoy this challenge:
Let the roasting begin!
I have some of the best blogging friends and readers! That’s right; I’ve been nominated for another award. Not just any award though. It’s a super specific one. All jokes aside, I want to thank Matt over at Normal Happenings for the nomination. I really love doing these, and his award is really unique!
The “Rules”
You control your own destiny. If you desire Normal Happenings Super Specific Sunshine Award, the nomination process is as follows.
Super Specific Questions from Normal Happenings
A new island chain suddenly forms in the south Pacific. Scientists, in the spirit of serendipity, need a name for the archipelago, so they run outside and grab the first person they see walking by. That person is you. What do you name the islands? The Farthest Chain. It sounds deep and meaningful, but also pretty simple and easy to remember. Okay, so it’s pretty lame.
Find any grocery list you’ve ever written – on a post-in note, on your phone, in the trash can. What is the third item on that list? Wraps. I usually bring my lunch to work, but I’m getting burned out with my usual. I figured it was time to spice things up with some “adult Lunchable” style lunches.
Go to any mirror – doesn’t matter if there’s people around – and look at the bottom of your tongue. What is your immediate emotional reaction? Huh. It looks okay. When was the last time I looked at the bottom of my tongue? I can’t remember…
Let’s say you could suddenly make all the cable news stations cover animals with the same intensity they covered politics – all animals all the time! Which animal would you want them to focus exclusively on? Penguins! I find them fascinating. I got to see my first one at the St. Louis Zoo, and it was magical (and smelly).
What is a random 11-letter word? I’ve already said mine – archipelago. Knickknacks.
I’m still not particularly happy with my computer wallpaper. What should I change it to? Woods during a sunset with a small wooden cabin to the right, smoke billowing from it’s red chimney, with two rocking chairs on the cabin’s porch.
If you could only eat breakfast foods for lunch and lunch foods for breakfast, what would be your go-to breakfast? Your go-to lunch? Lunch would be waffles and bacon; breakfast would be a peanut butter sandwich.
A bedbug bite forces you to have one of these useless superpowers.
Which of the following useless superpowers would choose and why?
– The ability to make only office supplies levitate.
– The ability to be invisible – but only inside a volcano.
– The ability to, at will, swap any picture on a billboard to a pumpkin.
I would pick the ability to swap any picture on a billboard to a pumpkin. This would be amazing for Halloween and Thanksgiving! I would feel like Santa, spreading holiday cheer. Now I just need a name….
Do you hate your initials? If you could have any initials, what would they be and why? I like my initials! MMM. Mmm? Triple M? I do feel oddly satisfied when someone’s initials spell a 3 letter word like BAD or CAR.
What is the most recent gum you chewed? Extrapolate a short story of five sentences or less with that gum as a central plot mechanic. I tapped Crystal on the shoulder. “Got any gum?” I whispered. If you said those 3 little words too loud, everyone would be asking for a piece of minty freshness. Crystal reached into her bag and produced a silver wrapped piece of gum. I quickly took it, unwrapped it, and shoved it into my mouth to avoid anyone seeing the precious and sought-after gum.
My Super Specific Questions:
You are free to answer one of these comments! If I like your answer, I will nominate you for the Normal Happenings Super Specific Sunshine Award. I look forward to seeing your answers to my super specific questions.
I saw this tag over at Cateaclysmic and thought it sounded fun! If you want to participate, I highly encourage you to do so! Just leave me a comment with a link to your post and I’ll check out your answers too. Are you ready for mine? Here we go!
What is your must-have tech gadget? Definitely my Fitbit. It’s been helping me reach my fitness goals and keeping me in check. I was super lucky and got it as a gift from my lovely husband at Christmas. Highly recommend!
Which house do you belong to in Hogwarts? Ravenclaw!
Who is your favorite Doctor? Ten of course, though Nine holds a very special place in my heart.
If you could have dinner with any fictional character, who would it be? Teal’c from Stargate SG-1. I tell my husband every episode how much I love his facial expressions (or lack thereof). And he’s undeniably funny without meaning to be!
What is your gaming system of choice? I discussed in this post about how the PlayStation 4 is my favorite gaming system.
If you had a super power, what would it be? The ability to bend time and space like Hiro from Heroes. “Fine. Stay here. Be just like everyone else. I wanna boldly go where no man has gone before.”
What is your favorite fantasy world? Harry Potter. Hands down. I love the books so much and love to get lost in the world JK Rowling made for her characters.
If you could be any fictional race, what would you be? I would love to be an elf. I always gravitate towards that race for any video or board game.
Star Trek or Star Wars? That’s a hard one. Don’t make me choose! How about both plus Stargate?
