Here are this week's Friday Five! The photo of my K-pop haul from Korea is still yet to come as I'm currently organizing my mess of a room. I've taken two photos but I forgot a single album in both of them--a different one each time--and I want to post the full haul.

This week's questions:

1. What was the best gift you received?
Well, I can't remember all time right now, so I'll say my two examples from the last year. For one, I got my 2009 white MacBook (which I'm writing this on) as a gift from my mum a few months ago, although I think I'm supposed to pay her back eventually. And at Christmas this past year, I got a Verivery lightstick!

2. What was the worst gift you received?
At Christmas when I was around ten years old, I got a book called "The Guide for Young Men", which... well, obviously, not a very good gift. I think I got rid of it the second I got home, but I flipped through at the Christmas party and I remember it had guides to barbecuing and flirting with girls, neither of which are things I've ever done or have any desire to ever do.

3. What gift did you wish for, but never got?
Whenever I was around eight years old, I really wanted an iPod classic for Christmas for some reason. They were really expensive to give to an eight year old, and I think by Christmastime they had been discontinued anyway, and I only ever listened to two albums anyways--Red by Taylor Swift and the Teen Beach Movie soundtrack. And so I got a cheapo MP3 player instead, although I did end up getting an iPod classic eventually, so I guess I didn't never get it, but this is the best example i could think of.

4. What was the best present you gave?
Well, one that comes to mind is my best friend Blue's birthday present this year, or rather part of it. But I haven't actually given it yet, so I don't want to spoil it in case he's reading my blog!

5. What was the worst present you gave?
A couple years ago, for his birthday I got my friend Pink one of those romance books called "Lessons in Chemistry" or something. I think it was trending at the time and I thought he'd like it, but I've heard since that it was kind of crap, and it's definitely not anything I'd personally read.

Hello people! I'm currently taking a break from a study session(kill me) and so I thought that, amidst all the crap I have to do today, it might be nice to do the Friday Five, which is where every Friday, you answer five questions. I'm new to Dreamwidth, and I thought it might be nice to get more involved in the DW community! Anyways, here are today's five:

1. What is your all time favorite book?

This is really difficult, but I'd probably (at least for the sake of consistency) have to go with Jane Eyre. I've read that book five times now in the last three years and the last two years connected it back to whatever we've been currently reading in my English class in order to yap about it in an essay. But I'm not quite so obsessed now as I used to be. Other contenders include Pride and Prejudice!

2. What is your all time favorite movie?

This is also difficult as I'm not much of a movie gal to be honest. I'd probably have to say Meet Me In St. Louis with Judy Garland, but it took me a minute or two of thinking. My recent favourite is Julie and Julia--a movie with a blog as a main plot point? Count me in! And it was just really heartwarming and sweet, and funny as well.

3. What are you reading right now?

Venetia by Georgette Heyer. Her novels are heartwarming and funny--extra witty, just like Jane Austen! And this one is no exception. I highly recommend Georgette Heyer!

4. What is your favorite show on TV?

It changes every few years, but right now, Dance Moms. I swear, that show is my frigging Roman Empire! It can be absolutely hysterical--although of course I feel so sorry for what the girls had to go through. Being a fan of a show like that is a really weird thing.

5. What is the last movie you saw in the theater?

The Minecraft Movie! It was really interesting to go in mostly blind, as I'm not tuned into brainrot and stuff. The only thing I knew was "chicken jockey", and that was through reading articles--I'd never seen a single clip, except maybe the very first teaser. It's not super deep, but it is hysterical--especially Jennifer Coolidge's character, who was easily the highlight of the movie for me. And I honestly did feel some Lord of the Rings influence in it, which is always a good thing. I will say, though, that the game world's graphics looked like you gave an AI a prompt to make a photorealistic Minecraft world, and were definitely pretty uncanny at times. But I suppose that's par for the course.

...Aaaand I just realized it's actually Thursday. Well, in my defense, pretty much all of my usual Thursday stuff has either been cancelled or is done for the semester. I have to go now but I may update this a bit later and go more in-depth.
