FAQ

So I've heard that most blogs have an FAQ page.
How nice.
However, I, being the awesomazing blogger over here, wanted to deviate from the conventional. FAQ usually stands for Frequently Asked Questions, or Find Awesome Quails. But here, I have slightly changed the full form to Fancy Awakenings ..uh.. QUACKS! Fancy Awakenings Quacks. That's it.

So here's your FAQ.

Why did you make a blog? 

One day, I was giving my English exam, and I thought to myself, "Man, I love writing!" but of course, not about Macbeth's soliloquy or advertisements on porcupine-thorn-armors; rather about myself and whatever the hell I feel like saying. So I started this blog. To entertain others, and also to entertain myself, because I'm just a bored person most of the time.


Are you really called 'songbird'?

Duh.

Okay no, I'm kidding. I wasn't named songbird. This blog is anonymous, for now. So that you won't be able to track me to kill me because I'm too awesome for this world. <-- Kidding :P


Why is your blog called 'Fancy Awakenings'?

This is a very common question. But honestly, I don't really know. I was brainstorming a name, and I saw the word 'awakening' somewhere, then I thought of a word to go with awakening. And well, Fancy Awakenings didn't sound too gaudy, or too ghetto, so I just went with it.


Are you vegetarian?

Nope. Non-veg. (Currently).


What do you write about?

Whatever I feel like writing about, ranging from the randomest thoughts, to important opinions, or a journal entry, or just something to kill time. And also, my posts are as original as can be.


How do you FEEL while you're typing a blog entry?

Haha. I uh, it feels nice. I mostly share my thoughts only with my friends, so if you're an acquaintance, or just anyone, my blog gives you an opportunity to get to know me a bit better, plus this blog (attempts) to entertain you.


How old art thou?

I would tell you, but then I'd have to keep updating this page every year.


So... Do you like Shakespeare?

I'm not a die-hard fan or anything, but I think he's pretty dope.



Who is this blog for?

For everyone. Doesn't matter how old you are, or what your favorite color is, but this is for everyone. Family, friends, strangers, aliens, or amoebae. Happy to have readers.

Will you find me and kill me if I copied some of your written/pictorial works?

I prefer killing zombies to humans, and that also in videogames. Plus, 'murder' would look bad on my resume. So no, I won't kill you, but I will be very sad if you copied something and did not give me credits. Of course, I would be flattered that you found content in my blog that is worth copying, but just, you know, mention my blog somewhere so people won't blame you for plagiarizing. (And also, so that I can increase my audience hehe)


Speaking of which, did you make all your drawings?

If they seem flawed, and Microsoft-painted or random-online-app-painted, then yes. I do include pictures from the net at times, but usually I add credits when I do.


  I hate you. I can't view some/many of your blog pictures. WHY?!!

I know, I know, this is TERRIBLE. What is worse than curiosity that is unfed? You see these strange circle-rectangle-grey things in places where pictures used to be. And those pictures used to amaze and disgust people at one point of their existence. Unfortunately, due to my lack of aptitude in handling technical gadgets, I did something and accidently deleted all my pictures. You can visit this entry to relive that pissing-off moment of mine. I promise this won't happen again, and I'll try to replace my old pictures. It's terrible, I know; I'm still not over it :(

Where are you from?

India. Daz right, imma fresh as da desi ghee.


Do you use slang/swear words a lot?

Only when I'm angry or emotional. Pissed, I mean.


When did you start blogging?

In the October of 2012. To know the exact date and time, you may take a look at my first blog entry.


Why should I read your blog?

Let's see... I can bribe you, I can kill you, I can give you a job, I can get you a girlfriend (winks)
Okay. No.

You should read my blog because reading this blog is (again) totally productive. Not that you have to be productive ALL the time. Some of my posts are just rants. However, my blog has a lot of awesome stuff. I really don't know how to appeal to audiences, but if you read my blog, I might gift you a whale.


I love you. You're amazing. 

Aww, thankyou!!!! xoxoxo I love you too! :D


^You used smileys and exclamation marks there. Do you always use them, or are you just that emotionless?

I usually avoid smileys and too much exclamations because it makes me sound super girly (which I'm not), and plus it is distracting for the reader (I assume), and it just makes my blog look all mashy and stuff.


What? You're not girly? HOW-WH-WHYYY-WHAA?!

I have recently realized (rather, come to terms) with the fact that I am, believe it or not, quite girly. It's just that I'm not "super girly". I do enjoy an occasional shopping or hair-do-ing, and pink is not that bad a color. I howl whilst watching Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and grow my hair long. But yes, my room is certainly not pink so I'll conclude by acknowledging sufficient girliness on my part.



Can I comment on your blog?

Is that even a question... why is this question here?!! I must delete it. But since it's here anyway I might as well just answer it haha
Yes, you may comment on my blog. In fact, you MUST comment on my blog. Just like zombies chew brains and humans breathe oxygen, your comments are the food and fuel of my blog. Your comments and my blog entries share a symbiotic relationship, you see. You must be committed. Or I'll call a marriage counselor.


      How do I comment on your blog?

It's okay to not know this! Even I was unfamiliar with blogger at one point, in fact, I was unfamiliar with computers at one point. Even if that point was around 10 years ago, it still counts. (I am NOT mocking you).

To comment on my blog, you must first read a blog entry and mentally record any emotions or opinions that you have. By the time you have reached the end of the entry, you will find a link that either says 'No Comments' or 'x Comments'. If it says 'No Comments', please note that it is absolutely mandatory for you to comment, otherwise you'll get sucked into a black hole that night. After typing your comment, choose an account or name by which your comment may be posted. I take great pride to share with you that even anonymous users can post comments, without having to create or log in from any account. So type away!


Do you have a gender?

Yes. Female.



Do you wear glasses?

I have glasses, but I don't wear them. I wear contact lenses. Though sometimes I don't wear them properly and spend the whole day blinking and trying not to be blind because I'd be too lazy to remove them and wear them properly again.


Other than writing, do you like anything?

Yes. I love music. In fact, I had taken singing lessons, clarinet lessons, guitar lessons, and so on. Also, recently I have started developing an appreciation of video games, esp ones that involve killing zombies. Other than that, I like colorful socks, dolphins and penguins, wiping the glasses of old people, create fun toppings on baked goods, and the British accent *shivers*.

What kind of pillow do you use?

Memory Foam Pillow. It has nothing really to do with memory, but it is extremely comfortable when you use your laptop like 24x7 and end up with neck sprains.


Are you like, really smart or something? 

I know you may think that I'm a nerd to be typing so much weird things, but trust me, I'm not that smart. For eg, my grammar is not very good. Like prepositions and stuff. And I'm not the class topper or anything. And I don't sit all day and study. But if I'm interested in something, I'll sit and research. The world fascinates me.


So what's your favorite color? 

It switches constantly between red, blue, brown and grey. Sometimes, I get sick of these four colors and begin to like some obnoxiously bright color such as neon yellow. Sometimes I like polka dots, or falcons. It's very complicated.


If I ever see you in real life, what should I do?

You should approach me with a very serious face and say "Goosfraba" and twirl your left thumb in the air thrice. Or you could salute, punch (not preferred), say hi, hug, (not too sure about kissing), or perform any other action that will help you express your emotions upon seeing me.


What do you love about India?

I love the animals roaming oblivious to the honking of the thousands of cars on the Indian bumpy streets with the smell of spices in the air produced by various delicious (and stomach-upsetting) street food and little children running over puddles as it rains with the torching heat of the sun causing rainbows and shops to open with vendors yelling the names of everything to attract customers. I love the color, the life, and the spirit, and also the flaws of this country.

Do you watch Vampire Diaries?

Nope. I used to be a vampire, and my non-watching is a protest against the fail acting of the characters, because the vampires I knew are nothing like that.


What kind of people do you admire?

People who take pride in having a true opinion, yet have the skill to express it in the most diplomatic and classy way possible.


How often do you update your blog?

It totally depends on the amount of time at hand. Even if I have holidays, I may be travelling from F to G to K, so yeah, I may not always have time. Yet I try to stick to an average of 2-3 blog entries a month to show my dedication to my audience. (you're touched, aren't you?)


Do you post blog entries when you have writers block?

Actually, yes. Sometimes, I just have this sudden.. urge to blog. It's quite inexplicable. I may have a lot to say, but forget how to say it. I usually don't keep drafts of blog entries because I may forget to post it later. So irrespective of my stupid writers block, I still post. In that case, I apologize if my blog was (insert adjective here). I will try to avoid posting when I can't write, then.


Do you have any pets/siblings?

I'm an only child. And no, it's not always boring because I get all my stuff to myself, and I have my parents and friends to entertain me. I don't have any pets either. However, I used to team-own a dog with my friend last year, before he died. (*sniffs*)


What do you do when you're not blogging? (other than breathing)

You will be pleased to know that I do have a life. I don't sit and study all the time or think of a good blog entry. I hang out with friends occasionally, watch TV series, attempt writing a novel, play videogames, stalk people on facebook, drink green tea with Ban Ki-moon, contemplate life, help spies with my x-ray vision, pretend to be a bobble-head, turn water vapor to water, read 9gag, do somersaults inside soap bubbles (after smallening myself with a mini-gun, ofc), and sleep.


Do you believe in unicorns?

Sometimes. They are nice.


What are your beliefs/practices?

Lol I'm such a wannabe

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind?

This is for me to regret and you to ponder about recycling. Heh.


If I have a suggestion for a blog entry, can I tell you?

This, again, is a silly question. Yo duckling, are you siriusly asking this?! But since you already opened your big beak, I must tell you that YES. Suggestions, comments, concerns, admiration, anything! is welcome and can be shared through typing of comments or communication through the 'Talk to me' section on the left! I be waiting.


Speaking of which, what is this "Talk to me" section of yours?

It is this awesome widget that I got for my blog which enables me to keep in touch with you (my reader). All you have to do is type your name or your fake name, your email address and a message. You can ask me about my pet orangutan, or why I'm so awesome, or my opinion on child trafficking ...basically ANYTHING. So what are you waiting for? Type a message and hit send. Now!


Your blog keeps having mood swings and change fonts. Wazz happenin'?!

I usually show off and boast if I change my font style. But if it changes automatically to Comic Sans, that means that my sophisticated web font is not showing itself. That happens. It's okay. In that case, you can either hit 'Refresh', or revel in the awesomeness of the normal, non-sophisticated font, (which I didn't choose originally). It depends on your browser, but sometimes, some browsers only occasionally show the true colors of my blog. (The link has detailz)


How do you get your ideas for your blog entries?

Well, it's not like my brain has a sudden epiphany at 11:37 pm every Thursday, but it just sort of.. happens. I may get inspired by a dream, or something I saw, or something one of my friends said, or some electric activity in my brain. It's all part of being creative I guess. Creative people always have 8946798376 things going on in their brains, but I must confess that most of my ideas came either while I'm day-dreaming at night (also called being nocturnal-ness) or whilst ridding of body waste during my bathroom sessions.


Anything else I may or may not need to know?

Well, I have mild to medium-mild hemophobia and car sickness (note for yourself if you're traveling or killing people with me). I love talking about the smallest/insignificant things in my blog. I love the sound of thunder and rain. I like big words and I can not lie. I'm nice. I like sci fi movies. I can successfully imitate a total of 3 accents.


So, fellow ducklings, I have quacked out all doubts, I hope. I will, however, update this page when more questions/queries/comments rise (you can ask more things from the 'Talk to me' section), and when I do, I'll let you know for sure, and put a star (*) in the page title. As of now, that's it. I hope this page has convinced you that my blog is awesome.

                                     Thanks for taking your time out to read this!
