I have been tagged once again, by HyperLinkzer. The reason I didn't do it sooner is that, as I've mentioned before, I'm Greek Orthodox, and our Easter (which is the greatest holiday of the whole year for us) fell on May 5 this year. That meant that last week was Holy Week, which in turn meant that I was extremely busy (we have 10 church services in one week). Add that to the schoolwork that I had to do the first half of the week, and I hope you'll understand why it's taken me so long to do this tag.
1. I love reading bits of The Lord of the Rings while simultaneously listening to the track from the film score that corresponds to the part in the book I am reading. (Wow, that sounded a lot less complicated in my head. . . .) I think my favourite is reading the chapter "The Field of Cormallen" while listening to the track "The Return of the King". :)
2. Pretty much the only way I like coffee is with lots of milk and sugar. Lattes are good, too, though.
3. I like to cook and bake.
4. I got to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on the day it came out. :D
5. I will be seeing Iron Man 3 soon. :)
6. I just got new headphones. They're awesome!
7. I love asparagus. And eggplant. And onions. And broccoli. And . . . actually, I love pretty much any vegetable besides okra, raw green bell peppers, and sometimes kale.
8. I went on a four-mile walk with my family this morning. We saw a baby squirrel. :)
9. I'm listening to the 2cellos cover of Viva La Vida right now.
10. I like doing calligraphy.
Well, it seems I am done. I shall not be tagging anyone.

Another Tag
Well, I have been tagged again, this time by Joel Ball. It's the same one as before, so ten more random facts about myself. Here goes!
1. While I only take lessons for violin and piano, I can also play penny whistle, and can kind of play recorder, and I know how to play the accordion . . . not that it sounds good when I do play. ;)
2. I have never actually read The Chronicles of Narnia to myself; they've always been read out loud to my family by my dad.
3. I think that Ralph Vaughan Williams' setting of "Ariel's Song" from The Tempest is one of the most beautiful choral pieces ever written.
4. I love old books. Especially quirky old books that are now out of print (and with names like Leif Ericson the Lucky and The Khaki Girls of the Motor Corp).
5. I like to sing "Gollum's Song" from The Two Towers movie.
6. I love playing fiddle tunes on my violin!
7. I have yet to write with a fountain pen and not get ink on my fingers.
8. I-ay an-cay eak-spay Ig-pay Atin-lay. An-cay ou-yay?
9. I just got new piano music! It's sheet music for all of the pieces from Michelle McLaughlin's album "Out of the Darkness".
10. I don't like microwave popcorn. Air-popped is way better - with olive oil and salt (regular or garlic salt - both are great!). Yum! :)
Done! I'm not going to tag anyone.

Well, Taisia (http://ablogofmusicstoriesandart.blogspot.ca/) has tagged me...please bear with me, this is the first time I've done this. I'm supposed to state ten random things about myself. Here goes!

5. Tolkien and LOTR are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. If someone handed me a big bowl of fish chowder at six in the morning, I'd happily eat it. Fish is delicious!
8. Though I've been told I'm completely insane, I actually like the music of Stravinsky.
9. I've translated the Tears for Fears song "Mad World" (actually, just the chorus--I couldn't get the verses to fit the metre) into Latin.
