Friendly Fill-Ins are four fun and easy statements to complete. Ellen of 15andmeowing provides the first two statements and the final two are offered by McGuffy Ann Morris of McGuffy's Reader. They try to make sure they will be fun to both answer and share. On Friday, the linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM. Please head to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!
Here are this week's statements with my responses underlined:
Week 20: September 23, 2016
1. The last movie I saw at the theater was ________.
2. The title of my autobiography would be ______________.
3. I would love to learn .
4. I am glad that I learned , because .
1. The last movie i saw at the theater was Prince Caspian, and i only went to see that because the church we were attending at the time rented out the theater for a Sunday morning and that was our church service. The last one before that was when that church did the same thing for The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Prior to those two, it was Little Big League back in 1994. No, i don't go to movies, just as i don't watch TV. Yes, i'm weird, it's okay, they know me on my planet.
2. The title of my autobiography would be For This I Went To College?
3. I would love to learn another language, and learn it very fluently. My bits of Spanish are mediocre at best, and i don't seem to make much progress at it.
4. I am glad that i learned to read, because reading is my favorite pastime, and if i couldn't read, i couldn't have online friends, either.

I agree with the kitty. The middle is the better half. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think you're weird. I don't like to go to movies or watch TV anymore, either. Generally, there is just too much garbage, on the screen for both and off the screen, too, at theaters.
Your book title is great! Many folks end up leading lives that have absolutely nothing to do with what they studied in college, for example, the Starbucks workers with the PhD. I doubt very much that their degrees are in coffeeology or How to be a Barista.
Reading is great. If we were taught nothing else is school along the way, we could still survive if we knew how to read. Being able to read helps us to be able to learn things for ourselves and it is so freeing!
Have a blessed day. :)
laughed at your #2. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat answers, thank you for participating. I like the title of your autobiography, I could have the same title :) No shame in not watching movies or tv, reading is the best anyway :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCats lay down wherever they want and we let them do just that. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteReading is also one of my favorite pastimes. I read A LOT.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday. ☺
It's not weird to not go to movies or watch television. Or, if it is, Suzanne and I are in the same boat with you. We only occasionally watch something on television and that is because the kids want us to see it. Most stuff out there is garbage anyway.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, it's Friday!
"...half from the middle"! Funny! I laughed at your "For This I Went to College?" title. I've lived in Egypt for over 20 years and only speak a little Arabic. It's hard to learn a different language!
ReplyDeleteI need to make more time for reading. It's been ages since I read a novel.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine not reading...life wouldn't seem complete!
ReplyDeleteOK, your autobiographical title cracked me up! I love it!! I love how quite a number of people would like to learn a foreign language - we should do it!!
ReplyDeleteI watch a lot of TV (well, OK, I stream TV shows because we cut the cable cord a few years ago since it's highway robbery). But I suspect the reason I watch so many shows (actually don't just sit and watch, like right now I have a show playing while I'm blog-hopping...heh!) is because my dad banned TV from our house when we were kids - he thought it was too bad of an influence on us, and I appreciate that I turned into a mega bookworm instead. Plus it enabled us kids to flex our creative muscles a lot more being creative with play. Now, though, I think I'm making up for 'lost time'...heh! Also, my parents have a TV in every room of their house - they're making up for lost time too, apparently. ;) I went to movies a lot more with kids from my youth group at church, and the hubby and I used to go to more movies before the kids arrived, but the cost of going to an actual theater has become so ridiculous, we prefer movie night in the comfort of our home instead. :)
Sorry, I didn't mean to write a novel as a comment!! Have a great weekend!!
Movie Time, Life Title, and Wishful Learning: Friendly Fill-Ins for Friday Fun
Where else is any self-respecting cat going to lie down if not in your way? ;)
ReplyDeleteFurkids have a way of owning spaces, usually ones where they are certain to be noticed and to take note of everyone coming and going!
ReplyDeleteI am not much of a movie goer either, and I'm becoming less and less of a TV person... more noise and negativity than anything else!
I love your bio title, so true that none of us had any idea at that age what our lives would really be like!
I wish that I could speak fluent conversational Spanish too. It would really come in handy where I live. All children should be taught a second language!
Reading, yes indeed, we would certainly not be here blogging and sharing without it, and think of all the things we learned from books... and from each other! XOXO
I am right there with reading. I would be so lost without it. I carry a book with me wherever I go. It is necessary.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us for the Fill-Ins. Hugs!
