"Get to Know Me" Tag (21 Questions)



So I've seen this tag around a couple places and figured it was about time to get this blog back up and running with a fun tag! My second year of college has been insanely crazy and stressful so I needed to put blogging and reading on the back burner for a while, but hopefully since finals are about 2 weeks away afterwards I should hopefully have more time to blog and read and get back to a normal routine.

**I have no clue who created this tag, so there's no link to the creator, but I think it may have started on Youtube.**
 
This tag is pretty simple, there's 21 random questions that tell you more about me in the form of fun questionnaire!

Let's Get Started....

1. Are you named after anyone? Yes actually, my dad. His name is Eric... add an "a" on the end and Viola!... Erica it is! :)

2. When was the last time you cried? I'm normally not a very emotional person...it's probably been well over a year since I've cried over something serious... otherwise tv shows will sometimes cause that tiny stream of tears to fall...uhh wait...did I really admit that....

3. Do you have kids? No.

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself? Definitely! I think I'm a pretty cool person to be friends with if I may say so myself!

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot? YES. Guilty. Haha its definitely a part of my personality.

6. Will you ever bungee-jump? UMMM NOOO! I mean I'm all for living life to the fullest... BUT... not exactly to that extent... 

7. What’s your favorite cereal? CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH... that is all.

8. What’s the first thing you notice about people? Their eyes... then their mannerisms and behavior. I'm definitely an observer, so I love to watch people and get an idea of how they are as a person from a far....hope that made sense :)

9. What is your eye color? Brown.

10. Scary movie or happy endings? Happy Endings.... but Scary Movies if I'm not alone....

11. Favorite smells? Coffee... I'm addicted and also fruity or spice- scented candles.

13. Computer or television? Computer, hands down! I can do all the things with a computer, INCLUDING watch TV so it's the best of both worlds.

14. What’s the furthest you’ve ever been from home? On vacations I've traveled to South America but that's the furthest.

15. Do you have any special talents? I can roll my tongue into a 3-leaf clover, and I'm also double jointed... if that counts.

16. Where were you born? Mississippi.

17. What are your hobbies? Shopping...compulsively.... organizing and running my Etsy Shop, running my book blog. (readitnoteit.blogspot.com)...shameless plug, painting/drawing, and also I'm getting back into crocheting.

Goodreads Blurb:
From New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston comes this remarkable first book in a spellbinding new series about the dawn of a new kind of magic.

Welcome to New Vegas, a city once covered in bling, now blanketed in ice. Like much of the destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature—freezing. But some things never change. The diamond in the ice desert is still a 24-hour hedonistic playground and nothing keeps the crowds away from the casino floors, never mind the rumors about sinister sorcery in its shadows.

At the heart of this city is Natasha Kestal, a young blackjack dealer looking for a way out. Like many, she's heard of a mythical land simply called “the Blue.” They say it’s a paradise, where the sun still shines and the waters are turquoise. More importantly, it’s a place where Nat won’t be persecuted, even if her darkest secret comes to light.

But passage to the Blue is treacherous, if not impossible, and her only shot is to bet on a ragtag crew of mercenaries led by a cocky runner named Ryan Wesson to take her there. Danger and deceit await on every corner, even as Nat and Wes find themselves inexorably drawn to each other. But can true love survive the lies? Fiery hearts collide in this fantastic tale of the evil men do and the awesome power within us all.
