Nicki T. Rambles

Because that's what I do at times.

Okay. This post is probably going to turn out to be a whole bunch of unrelated stuff. Feel free to skip it if you don't want to read my ramblings. Then again, I guess I ramble most of the time, and this blog is called Random Writer's Ramblings, so I guess if you're reading it, you've been forewarned about all that, and will probably read it anyhow.

Amber: You sure do ramble a lot.
Nicki T.: This isn't a conversations with characters. Your presence isn't required since I know you probably don't want to be here anyhow.
Amber: I'm in your head, remember? I'm always there, whether I want to be or not.
Nicki T.: Good point.

Okay. Anyhow. First. Owl City is coming out with a new album soon. YAY!!!!!! I hope he goes on tour again. For some reason, I didn't go to any of his concerts while he last toured, and I have yet to come up with a decent excuse for that. Aside from the fact I had just gotten back from Newfoundland. But that's not really an excuse, so... yeah. Right now, I'm listening to his song "Gold".

Okay. Second. Went to see The Avengers. Twice. I actually wanted to see it three times, but didn't. I will be buying it when it comes out on DVD. I also went and watched Thor afterward. And Captain America. I will spare you the quotes for today, because I don't really want to do that right now. I do strongly suggest that, if you haven't seen it already, that you do so. My favorite avenger was probably Hawkeye.

He needs his own movie, him and the Black Widow. I've always wanted to do archery. I just haven't. (Well, I did try at camp. I didn't do so well.)

Amber: That's an understatement.
Nicki T.: Amber, you weren't even there!
Amber: I have access to your memories, since I live in your head, remember?
Nicki T.: Please, Amber. Just don't. Okay... next thing.

Maximum Ride. I absolutely LOVE these books. I highly recommend them.

Max is funny and tough and probably one of my favorite heroines ever. I cannot wait for the movie to come out next year, and for the last book in August. The only thing that annoys me about these books is Dylan, from the last few books. Fang and Max belong together. They've been through the whole series together, and then Dylan appears... I hope Fang and Max end up together in the last book.

I think that's about it for now.

Amber: Good. You should post more often.
Nicki T.: I know. I'll try to post sooner rather than later next time.

Guess who is absolutely ECSTATIC????

I am. Guess why.

Two reasons? Number one. (Drumroll please...)

THE HUNGER GAMES IS GOING TO COME OUT AT TWELVE O'CLOCK THIS MORNING!

Of course, I won't be there at midnight. I wish.

And guess what number two is?

I'VE FOUND MY PICTURE OF AMBER!

The best picture of her is during the interview, but you'll have to see it for yourselves in the movie!

I LOVE Tags!!!!

Here's a tag concerning Pierce, Amber (whose name I am considering changing to Alexandra) and Gale, which anyone who reads the comments on www.worldofwhatnot.blogspot.com will have heard of.

1. Do you want a hug?

Amber: No, thanks.
Pierce: Um, if you want to, but I don't really know you.
Gale: If you don't mind, I'd rather not.


2. What's your favorite color?


Amber: Silver, I think. Or maybe indigo. I've never really stopped to think about it.
Pierce: Green. Forest Green.
Gale: Black. (No, he's not a goth or anything - he just happens to like that color.)


3. Do you love anyone?


Amber: That depends. In a family way or in a boy-girl way? The answer to the latter is no.
Pierce: Sure. My brother Gale.
Gale: Pierce. And maybe Amber. *Amber leaps out of her chair* NOT IN A BOY-GIRL WAY!!!


4. What's your job?


Amber: I'm a student, training to be a pilot.
Pierce: Same here, not that I'll ever be as good as Amber, but I can dream, right?
Gale: Training to be a pilot, like the others.


5. Favorite season?


Amber: Uh... they didn't have seasons at the training school. Outer space doesn't have them, generally.
Pierce: Probably summer.
Gale: Winter.


6. Who is your best friend?


Amber: Uh... Pierce and Gale, I guess. There were no other girls at the academy. Before that... I'd have to say my friend Ani, who I haven't seen in who knows how long.
Pierce: Amber, I guess.
Gale: There was one older kid who's out of training... his name was Micheal. Haven't seen him in years, though.


7. What are your hobbies?


Amber: Training, I guess. That's what I do. Though I used to sing with a choir before I started training. I also like science and chemistry, though they're not my best subjects.
Pierce: I work out. Train. I like math too.
Gale: Inventing. Here, watch this gadget! *small metal object released fireworks. Everyone ducks* Still working through a few bugs with this one.


8. What are you going to do when this tag is over?


Amber: Do a flight simulation or something. Get a bite to eat, maybe. Catch up on homework.
Pierce: Homework.
Gale: Probably find a movie. Hey Amber, up for another sci fi? Amber: NO!!!


9. What's your eye color?


Amber: Blue. Kind of a sky blue.
Pierce: Blue, I guess.
Gale: Blue.


10. Are you good or bad?


Amber: Be more specific.
Pierce: I wouldn't attempt to evaluate that myself.
Gale: I don't know.


11. What is your greatest fear?


Amber: If I tell you, you'll make me face it. And from what I've been hearing, if this story goes the way you're planning, I will do more than that. I had a talk with a girl named Jasmine earlier. Apparently you discovered she's afraid of deep water?
Pierce: Um... that I won't pass the next test? If I don't pass I'll have to spend another year in my level.
Gale: I'm with Amber. I was listening to you and Jasmine.


12. What do you think of your family?


Amber: I admire my dad a lot. (Her dad, by the way, is dead. It's just that one of the important things in the story is that she refuses to believe it.)
Pierce: I never knew either parent, so I really don't know.
Gale: Same as Pierce.


13. Was it fun to answer these questions?

Amber: It's okay.
Pierce: I guess.
Gale: So long as I can tinker, I don't care what else I'm doing.


14. Do you have any weaknesses?


Amber: Refer to my answer for number 11.
Pierce: This is important to the tag? Well, I do tend to plan things out a bit too much.
Gale: None that I would confess in public... or to Nicki.


15. What's your species?


All together: HUMAN!!!!


16. What's your theme song?


(Haven't picked these out yet. Must do so!!!)


17. What's your favorite element?


Amber: Silver, I guess.
Pierce: Oxygen. Doing some experiments with that in the lab.
Gale: Gold.


18. Do you care what other people think about you?


Amber: Not really. So long as I do well in school and all that, I don't really give much weight to it.
Pierce: No.
Gale: YES!!! It means everything.


Anyone like my characters? Even a little bit? (In case you're wondering where Fletcher went, I changed his name to Pierce.)
