Ellie at Not-So-Modern Girl tagged me in this super neat Literary Dinner Party Tag awhile back and I finally wanted to tackle it in true Geeky Gal style! I’m twisting this tag a bit so that instead of inviting literary characters to a dinner party, I am going to invite video game characters!

About two weeks ago, A Geeky Gal was nominated for the Real Neat Blog Award by Lynn Sheridan! (Sorry that it took two weeks!) Lynn is an amazing writer and lover of anime. You should absolutely spend some time reading Lynn’s writing. It’s A+. In fact, Lynn has taken on my very own 30 Day Anime Challenge. Check it out here! Thanks again Lynn for the nomination. It’s very much appreciated! The questions are super unique so I can’t wait to answer them! And now that the bar is set so high, I’ll have to put my thinking cap on for my questions…
Nana Marfo was kind enough to nominate me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Thanks Nana! You can see his nomination and questions here! He’s a fellow game designer so show his blog some love. He has a portfolio available as well as regular gaming blogs like reviews and first impressions!
Also, I’m only nominating 5 blogs this go around. A Geeky Gal has been nominated three more times for the Sunshine Blogger Award, and I’d like to share the love.
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:
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.
