Beautiful People! A new year


Why hello my little Internetsys!
Here is another round of everyone's favorite game:
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!!!!!
This month I have decided to use one of my new characters from my current Nanonovel, Nasctha.
Just a little background, she is the goblin princess who is currently trying to help my MFC, Lorilli, escape her father's prison.
Alrighty, here we go!

1. If your character’s house burned down, and they were left with nothing but the clothes on their back, what would they do? Where would they go?
She would probably go to her summer home. Being royal and all, she has her own private castle.

2. Are they happy with where they are in life, or would they like to move on?
No, currently they are at the mercy of the Dragon Bane. Her father is just a figure head to the people, and their life is at risk everyday.

3. Are they well-paid?
She's a princess, duh!

4. Can they read?
Yup!

5. What languages do they speak?
For my ease of writing, currently English. However, I've being thinking about writing a language for her people. Their culture is so different than the gnomes and the Fae.

6. What is their biggest mistake?
Not, leaving the castle sooner.

7. What did they play with most as a child?
Diamond!!!! And dolls.

8. What are their thoughts on politics?
Politics are her life. She is constantly having to keep up with where the people stand on issues and where the nobles stand. Her father is constantly trying to find a happy medium with everyone, and at the same time, pushing the dragon's legislation.

9. What is their expected life time?
Goblins can live over 100 years.

10. If they were falsely accused of murder, what would they do? How would they react?

Well.... I cant release this information yet ;)

What is this place???


Woaaah! This place still exists! I totally forgot about it! :O
Haha! I'm just kidding!
Kinda...
I'm so sorry about the lack of posting this month!
I did write a blog post about different things in fashion that I really liked, but, there was too much gay in that to post.
SO! I thought I would blog about my super awesome Half-Priced Books trip!
So, if you have never heard of this store of amazingness, it's kind of like an old library that sells pretty much every book you can think of for super cheap! Basically what people do is, when they want to sell away some books, they take them to half-price. Where people, like me, can then buy those books from the store for super cheap!
It's a beautiful circle of life.
Well, for Christmas this past year my grandmother gave me $75 to spend instead of an actual present.
Well I took it to Half-Price!
And here is the list of books that I picked up for $78!
Gnomes
Japanese Mythology
Beowulf
The Great Comedies and Tragedies of William Shakespeare
Obsessed
Mythology
The Complete Encyclopedia of Elves, Goblins and Other Little Creatures
And then two books on Japanese Writing and one book on how to speak Polish!
I really want to go back and get some more books!
I really want the rest of the Hunger Games, Percy Jackson and I really really need the Mortal Instruments series. Maybe when I get done paying for all the college fees/books/ classes for this year I'll go on another trip!
Be Genki,
Didy
