My turn for the popular tag questions! I love answering questions, so I might end up doing quite a few of these. Let's begin:

How many countries have you been to?
Just Canada and the U.S. so far, but I have a whole wishlist!
What song most describes your love life right now?
“Holding Out For a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler. I refuse to be with anyone who's anything less than exactly what I wanted. Otherwise being perpetually single is better.
Is your father bald?
Actually, he's over sixty and still has a nice, thick head of hair. I had to answer this one just because he is so far from being bald!...

My turn for the Fun Questions!

What is your favourite sleeping position of all time?
I sleep curled up on my side.

What are the three scents you like?
Chocolate, baked goods, and pine.

What’s your favourite board game?
Right now I love Harry Potter themed Clue and Disney Villain Monopoly. I think I might like the role-playing even more than the actual games!

Which word would you use if you could only use one for the rest of your life?
I don't think I could live like that! I need to talk!

Would you rather have intelligence over looks?
No, I don't think so. I don't think I would miss intelligence if...

My turn for the Q&A questions! As usual I may not have answered all the same ones as the rest of you, just the ones I felt I could give the most interesting answers to. No point in answering something, for example, where the answer is just "no"... Shall we begin?

If you could be any celebrity, who would it be?
I would be myself but as a celebrity, of course.

What is your favorite junk food?
Chocolate bars or little cakes – but let's not call it “junk”; let's just eat it and enjoy it!
 
What movie did you see that you were disappointed in, but everyone loved?
Actually, there were two in...

Batman is one of the most popular superheroes when it comes to various forms of media, and television is no exception. Over the years, Batman has had several television shows.

In 1966, the first Batman television show came out. It was a live-action series that starred Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. The show had three seasons and 120 episodes.

In 1968, Batman's first cartoon show came out. The Batman cartoons were paired with Superman cartoons in The Batman/Superman Hour. Olan Soule voiced Batman, while Casey Kasem voiced Robin. The show had one season and thirty-four episodes....

Batman is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Because of this, he's had more appearances on the big screen than most superheroes.

Batman's first theatrical appearance was 1943's movie serial, starring Lewis Wilson as Batman and Douglas Croft as Robin. Although the serial is mostly forgotten, it was responsible for the creation of Alfred, played by William Austin, and the Batcave.

The second Batman movie serial was 1949's Batman and Robin, starring Robert Lowery as Batman and Johnny Duncan as Robin.

In 1966, a movie based on the Batman television series, called Batman: The Movie,...

My turn for the Summer Tag! Let's begin, shall we?

1. Are you a summer person?
Yes and no – I like summer and winter equally well for different reasons.
2. What is your favorite thing about the summer?
The sun, and getting to sit outside and sunbathe! Also ice cream. I mean, who doesn't love ice cream??
3. Do you stay indoors or outdoors more in the summer?
Depends, I suppose. I like to get outside for the sunlight and air – but not for the bugs!
4. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Anything chocolate will do. You get different, equally great flavours from different brands and places, so...

Hi, Layla. I thought about leaving a nice card on your fan club, but I decided that I would write an article containing a special message instead. After all, a card doesn't say everything I want to say, so I'll just get right to it.

I can't believe it has already been six years since we met on the Beatles Fan Club. At the time, it seemed like the club was dead. I was heartbroken when I thought I was the only one who cared about the Beatles. During this month in 2015, you came along and posted your fan fiction, "Our Drummer the Starr". After the final part was posted, we started talking. We agreed...

BingoPB, 80smusiclover1, and RocknRollSoul60 (Kayla, Kelly, and Paul) already answered some of these. Now it's my turn.

1. What kind of music do you like?
I like music that is simple, melodic, and lyric-oriented – it could be sixties pop, recent country, certain other types of pop, musical or movie soundtrack, some types of rock... the genre doesn't matter so much really.
2. What type of music do you dislike?
Anything too loud or heavy or distorted or without enough lyrics (or enough comprehensible lyrics)... I can get bored waiting for the singer to start singing again, and I'll lose interest....

Hi all! Today I thought I would answer some of the questions on the Pet Questionnaire some of you have already done. I think these questions were aimed at dog and cat owners, so it was fun trying to answer them for guinea pigs. Here goes:

1. What is the name of your pet? I have two pets, Penny and Angela.
2. Does it have any nickname? Penny has been Penmeister, Penny-o-Matic, and Penn-Penn, among other things. Angela has been (to name a few) Angie, Angel-face, and Angel-Fluff. Both have been known by such names as Floofy Thing and Pig.
3. Which breed is it? Penny is a half-Silkie, half-Abyssinian...

My turn to answer some of these music questions!

1. Who is your all-time favourite artist?
Anyone who knows anything about me will know this one – it's the Beatles!
2. What is your favourite musical genre?
I like a number of musical genres, including 1960s pop, other soft pop, certain types of rock & roll, newer country (1990s and 2000s in particular), Broadway soundtrack, Disney soundtrack – anything lyric-and-emotion oriented.
3. Are there any genres you don’t like?
Hip-hop, anything too electronic, modern pop songs with raps in them, or that have been tampered with too much and now sound...

My turn to pick some questions from the long list Antonia found (shoutout to her) and answer them.

1. What emotion do you experience the most?
Honestly fear, but I am working on that.
2. What embarrasses you the most in front of other people?
If I think they can hear what I'm talking about, or suddenly realize they can hear me, and I wasn't talking about something normal and impersonal like “Nice weather today” or “This drink is really good”....
3. What do you love about yourself most?
My creativity, and my growing ability to enjoy things others might consider "childish" unashamedly.
4. What...

You all know the drill by now - I love me some Q&A. These questions were invented by Kelly (shoutout to her). And now:

1. What's your favourite clothing accessory? Rings and earrings, especially big dangly earrings and/or earrings shaped like various objects. I have earrings shaped like peace signs, tigers, snow globes, and crabs, among other things.
2. How do you like your coffee? With milk, plenty of sugar (or at least honey or maple syrup), and some other add-in to give it flavour. My favourite add-in is cocoa powder, closely followed by pumpkin spice blend. (Closes eyes in delightful...

A number of you have done a second question-and-answer article, and you know I have to do one myself, because I love filling these out. I wasn't able to open the links to find the list of questions myself, so I have chosen for my list all the questions that Kelly and Kayla did. Without further ado:

1. What do you think you cook or bake the best? Any dessert I bake usually goes over extremely well.

2. How old was your mother when she had you? Hang on... let me do the math... Her birthday comes after mine, so she was... 34. And a half.

3. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert? Introvert...

Ktchenor did something like this on her club a few weeks ago, and I decided to see if I could do one, too. Below you will see a combination of my best-loved, tried-and-true favourite movies, as well as ones that I've only seen once or twice, but particularly enjoyed, and that would probably would hold up over multiple viewings. The rules are: you can skip letters if you want (I couldn't come up with a movie I loved that much for every letter!), you can list up to 5 per letter, "the" and "a" should not count as the first letter of the movie. I hope I didn't miss any. If I did, I'll mention in...

Kayla did this yesterday and mentioned she would like to see my answers to the same questions, as it was originally a best friend questionnaire and all. I have answered as many of the questions as I could, because I love these fill-out things, but there were some I couldn't answer and those I left blank. So mine might be a bit long, but here goes:

1. What’s your biggest fear?: Physical or emotional? Physically probably grasshoppers; emotionally, it would be having people say bad things about me.

2. How do you like to be comforted when you’re sad or upset?: Sometimes I don't. Never underestimate...

Paul, Kelly, and Kayla have already done this for their dogs, both past and present. I think I'm the only person here who doesn't have a dog, but I do have guinea pigs and they will do just as well. So:

1. What are your pets' names? Penny and Angela.

2. What kind of pets are they and what breed? Penny and Angela are both guinea pigs. Penny is half-Silkie and half Abyssinian, which means her hair is kind of long like a Silkie's, but not as long, and kind of curly like an Abyssinian's, but smoother. She also has a little mohawk on her head like an Abyssinian's fur. I have since decided that the...

We met on this website three years ago. I had a different username then, but that's not important. We were connected by our love for the Beatles. We began talking when you posted your fan fiction, "Our Drummer the Starr". I helped to inspire some of your fan fictions, and you helped me with my first fan fiction, "How Paul Saved John". We helped each other with other things, too. You always came to me for advice, and I would help in the best way I knew how. You even gave me advice sometimes, always telling me what I needed to hear. When I feel that nothing is going right, talking with you makes...

Thanks to BingoPB, 80smusiclover1, Peaceandlove67, and ktichenor for inspiring this article.

Likes:
1. Good music, with sixties pop being my favourite genre. I like love songs the best.
2. Almost all animals, but especially the cute and furry ones. Actually, I think all animals are cute, even when most people wouldn’t.
3. Rich foods. I could probably live very happily with everything I eat being either a) chocolate, b) meat, or c) smothered in cheese and tomato sauce. Oh, but I'd still need eggs, French fries, peanut butter.... You get the idea, though.
4. Shopping. Ever since I was a little girl,...

This article was inspired by PeaceandLove67's "Ten Disadvantages of Being Tall", and also since I had been discussing the matter with BingoPB. I am four-foot-eleven and would gladly trade in all these issues and deal with the disadvantages of being tall. I'm not trying to say that people like Peaceandlove67 shouldn't see any disadvantages in being tall, far from it. Her article simply inspired me to share my views about my own height. So:

1. The first and biggest problem with being short is that short girls are not represented as being typically beautiful. Just look at all the fashion magazines...

Hey everyone, this is my list of ten fun facts about me! I was inspired by RocknRollSoul60, who was inspired by 80musiclover1 and Peaceandlove67, and who already inspired BingoPB, and so the chain continues....

10. I LOVE THE BEATLES!!! Oh wait, you knew that already....

9. I'm actually really into fashion and put a lot of thought into the clothes I wear. I like form-fitting, feminine clothes and am most often found wearing red, blue, black, or pink. I've read a lot about what types of clothes suit which types of bodies, and which types of personalities, and I believe that what you wear plays...
