 Thank you, Sarah, for tagging me for the 12 days of Thanksgiving! I know it's after Thanksgiving itself, but I thought I could show you some of my photos from the big day in this post.

1. List 12 things that you are thankful for
2. Tag as many bloggers as you want, making sure to tell them of their nominations

I'm going to be giving less generic answers here... so just know that I am thankful for God, my home, and my family :)

Thank again to Sarah for tagging me! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving :) Maybe later I'll do a post of the other photos I took on our trip to the Thanksgiving table. There was a lot of good scenery.

Remember to thank God for the little things in life, and to give thanks with a grateful heart.

Sincerely,
Darrion

best blogging buddy award // evelyn, megan, sarah, willow

Hello, people of the internet!

   I was awarded the Best Blogging Buddy Award by the super sweet (and very artistically talented, might I add) Moriah Q. Thanks bunches, Momo! :)


Okay, here are the rules of the award...

1. You must make a post to show your award on your main blog.
2. You must tag the person who nominated you in your post (also take the cute owl picture above with you).
3. You must nominate all of your best buddies, and those whom you want to become best buddies with, who, to your knowledge, have not been nominated for this award.
4. You must ask your buddies at least 15 questions in your post.
5. You must answer all of the questions your buddies ask you on your post.
Here are my answers to Moriah's questions from her blog, momoslittleworld

Candy or chocolate?

   Chocolate! I like dark and medium. But I'd eat whatever you'd give me :)

If you were to travel abroad, what would be your reason?

   I think the reason would be to see all of the sights of the world, and to see how other people live outside of America. Not to mention... beautiful foreign accents :)

What is your favorite genre of music?

   Um... I'll listen to nearly anything if it has good lyrics, and I like pop mostly... but I really have a broad appreciation for music, so it's hard to say.

What is your favorite season? Why?

   I'd say winter, because I like to snuggle indoors on the computer with a bathrobe and a cup of hot chocolate :)

Who is your favorite character? (The person can be from a movie, book, TV series, your novel, etc.).

    Ah, this is hard... I'd say the Tenth Doctor from the TV show Doctor Who. Or maybe Captain America from the Avengers... or Thorin from the Hobbit... or Conner McKee from my book... dude, this is a hard one.

What was your favorite item as a child?

   Depends what you'd call child. As a very little one, I loved this purple blanket... I'd pull the fuzz off of it and rub it against my nose, 'cause it felt fuzzy. When I was a little older, I loved my Star Wars action figures. There was an ARF trooper I loved to play with, I named him Cameron. He was my first OC character, I guess :) And after that it was the Lego Hero Factory character, Breeze 2.0. She's was awesome :)

What kind of food have you always wanted to try?

   I want to try caviar (for book research, of course) and that snail dish, but they both sound disgusting to me. No idea how they'd taste.

You are forced to lose a sense. Which one would you decide to lose?

   I'd hate not to be able to see the sunrises/sunsets (and everything else, of course), or smell the wonderful food (or taste it, either), so it'd have to be touch.

What is your favorite natural phenomenon?

   Huh... well, I love to see the sky's different colors. Like in a sunset or sunrise, they're both so beautiful :)

Do you have a favorite artist? If so, who?

  I know, I'm suppose to answer someone famous, like Van Gogh or someone like that, but I'm going to make this interesting. There's this Youtuber/deviantart-person/instagram/facebook artist who I've only recently found, but really love. Her art style is so adorable. I actually don't know her name... her screen name is Drawing Wiff Waffles, which I think is super cute :)

   She does speedpaint videos on Youtube, and that's how I found her. She's really inspired me to draw more, and helped me in my endeavor for good digital art. I also love the way she talks about her art, it's very entertaining. I often listen to the videos while drawing. (extra note: my favorite video is probably Sally in the Valley)

What is your favorite movie?

   The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. No question. (extra note: my second favorite is probably The Adventures of Tintin: the Secret of the Unicorn. Love that movie! The artwork in those books is so cool...)

What is your favorite genre to read?

   I'd have to say mystery (I'm trying to read through the Hardy Boys books now), though I do like fantasy also. But... *cough cough* this is kind of awkward... I'm not much of a reader, I'm more of a watcher. I know some people really don't like that kind of person, but hey, life's short. I ain't interested enough to read the book. If I'm intrigued, I'll go find the book and read it through. But I don't just read for the sake of reading.

What activity have you always wanted to try?

   Ugh, parkour... I totally do not have the body/discipline/pain-tolerance for that, but hey, who doesn't want to go jumping all over the local Costco?

You get to strengthen a sense. Which one would you want to strengthen?

   Sight! I'd want to see really, really far away really, really clearly.

Do you have a book that you would like adapted into a film? If so, what is it? (P.S. The film would be very accurate, haha).

   Ehe :) Well, this is another odd book answer... The Hardy Boys: the Missing Chums. I really liked that book, and Frank and Joe are some good detectives (and their friends are hilarious!). And, another choice... The Adventures of Tintin: the Black Island, my favorite Tintin book.


Okay, I guess that's the end of that. On to the nominees! Here it goes...

Willow on In the Words of Willow
Evelyn Ashby on The Raven and the Writer
Megan McKeel on Rustic Remains
Sarah on Sarah'Sword

   Here are my questions for you guys... and a few of these are sort of a this or that and why kind of things.

1. group-person or loner?
2. read a book or watch a movie?
3. what's your favorite saying or quote?
4. what's your favorite movie or book?
5. life song (song that comes on the second you walk into a room)
6. which is better: a cloudy or sunny day?
7. internet or outdoors?
8. art or writing?
9. how would you describe your personality
10. ask a friend to describe your personality (and don't let them see your answer before giving theirs)
11. dress-up or dress-down?
12. sleep in or morning person?
13. embarrassing childhood story, please ;)
14. what's the most annoying pet-peeve to you?
15. if you could, which story character (from either a book, movie, or whatever) would you want to meet?

   Please comment a link to your best blogging buddy award below :) I'd love to see your answers!

And thanks again to Moriah for awarding me :) Sorry it took me a while to answer. Thanks for reading, guys!

Sincerely,
Darrion

Well, I've done it

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog!

My name is Darrion Marine, and as you probably already know, I'm Willow Silver's younger sister. She has been telling me for quite some time to do my own blog, and now I have finally done it!

At the moment, I only have two blogs: The Call, which I share with my sister, and Sincerely Darrion, which is all mine. I hope you have time to check the other one out, and please, leave a comment if you like something. I'm always looking for new ideas on what to post about and would love to hear your opinion on both this blog and The Call.

Now, as an introduction post, I'm going to say a few things about me...

I am a Bible believing Christian, and I often seem like an outgoing person on the outside, but I'm really quite shy on the inside. I really like to take books and their characters and write little stories on what I think they would be like. Like Fili and Kili from The Hobbit. I'm writing mini stories on them and their childhood. I am also doing the same thing with Thorin, before he became Thorin Oakenshield. Hopefully I'll finish them soon, and then they will be posted on The Call.

Anyway, here are some pictures that describe me.

I am a bit clumsy at times, and others are often in the lead as I lag behind. I just need a little guidance. So you can guess which one of these Ninjas is me.

 Wilow is the Sherlock of our house, and I am the Watson.

Willow and I are best friends and we work together, unlike a lot of sisters these days, I hear.

I hope that little overview of me was entertaining, or at least interesting. I will post more later, but until then...
