Our little Ambah's growing up!

Hello from AMBAH’S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe my mom is finally growing up- no longer a teenager anymore :D Have a great day, Ambah!
Also hello from my 3 ½ day weekend! While the rest of you are probably back to your classes after enjoying Labor Day off, I don’t go back until tonight, due to my awesome schedule :D The fact that I have art tonight means that I should be working on some homework, but oh well… So, my week’s been good. Classes are still looking good, and I actually read some more books, so I am now a third of the way through my list! I’m too lazy to calculate whether that puts me ahead of or behind schedule for finishing on time, but I feel like that’s a pretty good accomplishment- 10 books in a month is something, right? Anyway, I’ll post an update on that over in the etc. section, but until then, have some Questions!

Anna Beth:

How did you get the tilde over the n in Senora?
I typed it in Word first (which is what I always do), so I just found the ñ in symbols.
Was Flynn wrong to cut Rapunzel’s hair that short at the end of Tangled? (Not simply because of the hairstyle, but because she didn’t get a choice of hair
length.)

You know, I don’t really think Flynn was thinking about length or style when he cut Rapunzel’s hair- I’m pretty sure he was more focused on saving her from an eternity of imprisonment at the hands of Mother Gothel. And anyway, I think her hair looks adorable, and I’m pretty sure that she’s fine with it, too.
Where in Britain is your British professor from?
England!
Is there anything you know is incorrect and/or morally wrong, but you still think or believe it in some way?
Umm, not that I can think of?
Can you think of any movie quotes or parts in movies that you find profound or
thought-provoking?

…no.
Were there any movies that terrified you as a child? (Especially if they weren’t even really scary)
Apparently I was scared by Little Nemo.

 Mike Falzone:
Can you be good at pooping?
Sure…

Hamlet:
To be, or not to be?
To be. I know it’s tough, Hamlet, but hang in there! Things will get better with time! Or not. I’m blanking on how your story ends at the moment. But regardless, suicide is not an option!

The Black Eyed Peas:
What you gon’ do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?
Well, I could clean it out, but then Jill couldn’t complain about the state of my car, and who am I to deprive her of that enjoyment? :D

Jill:
What’s the most disturbing thing you’ve come across while reading a textbook?
Most of the things I come across aren’t that disturbing, seeing as I’m not majoring in, like, biology or psychology. One thing that did irritate me, though, was in my Literacy 320 textbook last semester. It was talking about the tendency for boys to struggle more with reading than girls, and one of the factors that it cited as contributing to this was that boys are more likely to be left-handed than girls. I was just like, http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8vwmo9Ip21r9ixyz.gifAfter all, everyone knows lefties are smarter :D
What district do you think you would have belonged to in the Hunger Games?
That’s not really a thing you get to pick. I mean, it’s not determined by personality or anything, it’s just a matter of where you’re born.
Oh, Anna Beth is telling me to call you out on your lack of answer on the companion question.
But I don’t want to be one of them! I want to be me! Is that not good enough for you people?! :)
Billy has 3 apples. He gives away 2 apples. WHAT IS THE CALCULATED MASS OF THE SUN?
:D
Very massive. Maybe if Billy had eaten those apples instead of giving them away, he’d have the energy to calculate it.
Do you think Anna Beth would still desire to move to London if suddenly everyone in the UK magically had an American accent?
I think she’d be a lot less outspoken about said desire, but it would certainly still be there.
What would chairs look like if our knees were on the back of our legs?
The same, we’d just sit in them backwards of how we do now. Or maybe we’d all sit the way we do now, but we’d have to have a footstool or something, since our legs wouldn’t bend down when we sat.
What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
I really need to watch Monty Python, don’t I?
What, in your opinion, is the best game ever?
This question just made me lose the game. 
Anglerfish: romantic or creepy? (And don’t judge based on looks, because they’re obviously creepy)
“See one dark night a young male bites a female on her side and then slowly he becomes a sperm-producing parasite.” I don’t know about you, but “sperm-producing parasite” doesn’t sound all that romantic to me.
Bonus! Why I think Anna Beth will agree with me:
“And if we can say he lives at all he lives until she dies and until that day he literally never leaves her side.” :)

George W. Bush:
How do they get the cream filling inside Twinkies?
Probably similarly to the way they get it inside donuts.

The Joker:

Why so serious?
Just because I can’t smile as big as you can doesn’t mean I’m any more serious.

Juliet:
Wherefore art thou Romeo?
He’s actually right down there in your orchard, being a creeper. You know, it’s probably in your best interests to forget about that boy.
What’s in a name?
Letters, mostly.

Jules:
Is it an arm or a leg? Cast it off Romeo!
:P
Not really sure how to respond to this one… aahhh… Never cast off your appendages! At least not until we have the technology to grow them back :)

Wow, I had a lot of first-time question askers this week. I had no idea so many people read this blog! It was a little more difficult to pick a winner, what with all the profound, well-thought-out inquiries, but I have come to a decision. This week’s winner is Juliet. Congratulations, hope you enjoyed the blog! Unfortunately, something tells me she won’t be around long enough to make much use of this victory. I did try to warn her…

Love you guys! Have a great week!

Rapunzel's Hair: I'm not saying she didn't like the hair after it had been cut (it looked really nice, and hair doesn't really matter that much anyway), but come on! Flynn went out of his way (he had to lean forward and reach to cut how much he did, despite being near death) to give her short hair. I know it made for a more dramatic and exciting movie moment, but it would have been a lot easier and less effort on his part to just cut the hair Rapunzel had put on his stomach from when she was trying to heal him. (That way she could have also chosen a length that she herself preferred)

Hamlet: "I’m blanking on how your story ends at the moment."
Are you serious? It's a Shakespearean play that has his name in the title. He's not going to live to see old age, that's for sure.

The Black Eyed Peas: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! brilliant

Awwww, Sara used a gif. She's growing up. (nice choice btw)
Also, Lefties are more likely to be psychotic killers :P

Hunger Games district: I know it's not something you get to choose, but knowing your own behavior and your likes and dislikes, which one do you think you would fit into the most?

Companion question: Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger (but still, if a question was asked, you should probably answer it)

:O you haven't seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? We should add that to one of our movie days (if they ever come back)

I actually don't think it would have been easier to cut the hair by his stomach. I didn't rewatch to answer this, but I'm pretty sure that would have required cutting toward someone, like, he either would have injured himself or her in the process. Even though he was dying, he probably still had the self-preservation not to want to injure himself further, and he certainly wasn't going to cut her. So cutting the hair behind her was the best way to avoid that, and making it longer would have required reaching further and using more energy that he was quickly running out of.

With Hamlet, obviously I knew it didn't end well for him, but I couldn't remember the storyline, and I was too lazy to look it up.

Black Eyed Peas/Gif/game/Juliet: :D

I didn't ask *where* he was. I asked *wherefore*.
And what's this about him being outside your window all of a sudden? Don't make me come over there.

We have decided that this week you should answer some of the questions you had cop-out answers for previously.

Here are some we thought you could do better on:

Is there anything you know is incorrect and/or morally wrong, but you still think or believe it in some way?
What district do you think you would have belonged to in the Hunger Games?
If you could be one of the Doctor’s companions, which one would you want to be (Rose, Martha, Donna, Amy, etc)? *But no spoilers in your answer por favor*
Imagine you’re a timelord and you get to pick one person to travel with you through time and space. Who would you pick? (although your original answer to this was actually satisfactory, Anna Beth says she was looking for you to give a specific name)
What would you include in the opening or closing Olympic ceremonies if you could design them for the US?
What's your favorite movie?
If you met a genie, what would your 3 wishes be?
If I were to ask you what argument/debate you've had with someone has been the most entertaining, what's the first thing to come to mind?
What’s the strangest thing you believed as a child?

There may be more, but I can't be bothered to look for anymore.
