5. NOT YET DON'T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS I'M WATCHING TONIGHT!
6. Both

Twitter is definitely my go-to social media. Yes, I've seen S3:E1 of Sherlock (SQUEE!). I follow Amy Plum's FB fan page religiously. I don't subscribe to magazines (that's what the internet's for!). Friends, always Friends.
ReplyDelete1. Way too hard to pick! I'll just pick... YOU! :D
ReplyDelete2. Yes, it's called Eat Your Kimchi and it's about Korean culture. Not a book youtuber fan.
3. If someone posts something and I like, I'll respond. I don't specifically go to anyone's pages, but that's becasue I'm following too many. If I was a HUGE fan, I would go and check updates, but I think the best bet is to just post and see how people respond :)
4. I spend more time on blogger becasue it takes longer, but I like Facebook the best, it's easy to use :)
5. NOOO!!! I'm going to though, so excited!
6. Personal :)
7. None.
8. I think I'm too old for those ^_^
9. "Since you Asked" I heard about it from Peggy Eddleman, but I mostly picked it up because it said it was about a Korean American... haha :)
10. Seinfeld, hands down.
Most don't apply as much to me sadly, but here goes!
ReplyDelete1. My friends' blogs (those are the only ones I read).
2. JustBSing. I listen to the station for The Piano Guys.
3. Nope.
4. Facebook, keeping in touch.
5. Nope again...
6. I like both! I guess my preference would depend on the scenario.
7. None now, but Nat Geo someday.
8. Neither :p
9. Emotional Intelligence; my old supervisor recommended it. I'm also rereading Les Mis on the side.
10. I've always liked both but haven't really watched a ton of either... So I'll have to toss a coin. :-)
1. Can't narrow down the blogs.
ReplyDelete2. Kid President
3. Nope
4. Facebook - connecting with friends
5. My kids are totally hooked on Sherlock, I need to catch up
6. Personal
7. Entertainment Weekly
8. Instagram - just with family
9. Days of Blood and Starlight - sequel to Daughter of Smoke and Bone
10. Love both - but I'd have to take Seinfeld if I were stranded on a desert island
Happy 2014, Sarah.
