Audrey from Please Just One More Page tagged me for the Sunshine Blogger Award. Thanks, Audrey! Sorry — your highness. ;)
The Rules:
- Answer the 11 questions from the nominator.
- Nominate 11 blogs.
- Ask them 11 questions.
What’s your shoe size?
I don’t know this one, actually . . . Let me go check. *runs to find Converse* Women’s 7.
Do you watch Once Upon a Time? (SAY YES SO I CAN FANGIRL WITH YOU)
I’ve watched a few episodes, but I didn’t really get into it (yes, yes, shame on me). I might pick it up again sometime.
What kind of writing utensil do you prefer?
I like writing on the computer, because I can write 3,000 words without my hand cramping. :P But if it’s 2 a.m. and my mind is still whirring, I’ll scribble a couple pages with pen. I can’t stand using dull pencils, but pens never get dull, so that’s why I like them.
If you had to dye your hair a unnatural color, what color would you choose?
I would LOOOOOOVE to dye my hair a crazy color (and I will do it someday.) I really like the look of rainbow hair and dark purple or dark blue.
Quick, look to your left! What’s the first thing you see?
*has to do the L thing with hands to remember which way is left* Uh . . . Christmas tree! It’s been up since before Thanksgiving. XD
What kind of pants are you wearing?
Black skinny jeans. The emo is strong with this one.
If you had to become anyone else in the world, who would you be?
I would become Hayley from Flourishing by Restful Falls. She’s smart and beautiful and amazing at art and she’s got ducks, so that’s pretty sick. (I swear I’m not trying to steal your BFF, Rebekah.)
What’s the meaning of life?
Pizza.
Definitely pizza.
Why did you start blogging?
I’ve been blogging for almost three years . . . I don’t actually remember why I started. But I made Let’s Be Lost (originally called Blue Eyes, Gray Eyes) because I found myself wanting to post about something other than dolls. So here I am!
If you had to describe the color yellow to a blind person, what would you say?
“Don’t worry, it’s a gross color, you’re not missing anything.”
If your favorite color is yellow, please don’t kill me.
Google or Bing? (I know what you’re going to say, Megan.)
Google. Because it’s not Bing.
Wanna fight, Megan?!
I tag anyone who has a ponytail.
Your questions:
Have you ever eaten food from a trashcan?
Last text message you received?
What is your favorite punctuation mark?
What do you think of your last yearbook picture?
Dumbest dare you’ve ever taken?
Do you have a nickname?
Who is your favorite Greek god/goddess?
What’s your Hogwarts house?
Have you ever fainted?
Is there anything in your pocket?
What song means the most to you?
Have a good day, darlings; I love you.

MOMENT OF TRUTH 😱
LikeLiked by 2 people
Brace yourself… *cracks knuckles*
HERE IS WHY GOOGLE IS COMPLETELY AWESOME (and always will be):
First of all, Google has some really neat “easter eggs.” You can search things like: “askew” “do a barrel roll” “flip a coin” “fun facts” “roll a die” “solitaire” “tic tac toe” “zerg rush” and “atari breakout” (to name a few) and Google will do weird/cool/useful things and give you free, fun games. Google is much sleeker and simpler than Bing, it is very customizable, and Google has “Google Doodles” on the homepage every few days. The Doodles celebrate interesting events, past and current. Sometimes the Doodle will double as a fun and educational game.
“Bing it” just doesn’t have the same ring as “Google it.” Enough said.
Google Street View will let you enter an address and will instantly pull up a moving image of the location that you can explore from the comfort of your cozy couch.
Then there’s Google Docs, a simple and easy-to-use tool that I use for all my school and writing. It’s very sleek and pretty, has nice font options, and has tons of pre-made templates for essays, outlines, reports, etc. that are extremely helpful for school. Google Docs also has an offline editing option, so you can use it even if you don’t have an internet connection. It also continuously saves your work so you don’t lose anything. I’m actually typing out this lovely long comment in Docs right now, so I don’t lose my work. I’ll copy and paste it into WordPress when I’m done.
Enter Google Photos, which is extremely simple to easy to use. It makes your photos easy to sort, organize, and label. It has a simple photo editing tool with basic adjustments plus lots of filters. Google Photos can recognize faces, and will sort photos by who is in them. For example, I could search Google Photos for “Clara” and only pictures that had my face in them would show up. Google Photos can also recognize animals like dogs, cats, etc. It recognizes objects, too – I can search “flower” and have all my flower photography there in one place. You can create animations, videos, collages, and albums, all right there within Google Photos.
Even with all my rambling, I’ve only scratched the surface of Google’s awesome tools. There’s Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Hangouts, and Google Forms. Hangouts is great for texting and has tons of emojis. Forms is what my mom uses each day for our school assignments – it’s super easy to create lists that you check off as you go. You can customize the color, background, and layout of each form.
I haven’t even mention Gmail yet. It’s a great inbox tool that I absolutely love. It’s actually one of two email tools that Google has – the other one is called Google Inbox. It organizes your emails into different categories automatically – it’s great for work and business.
Would you like some more reasons why Google is awesome? I’d be more than happy to provide them!

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES DON’T THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT IT DOESNT!! DOES GOOGLE GIVE YOU FREE MONEY WHEN YOU USE THEIR SEARCH ENGINE?

CAN YOU RIGHT CLICK AND FIND THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE (which is quite helpful when geocaching) IN SECONDS? (Maybe it does but it’s HARD TO FIND)
NOOOOOOO. THUS BING IS BETTER.

P.S. AND DOES GOOGLE HAVE BING PONG? PLUS BING IMAGES HAS A THING SLIGHTLY LIKE PINTEREST. NOT AS GOOD AS PINTEREST BUT ANYTHING KIND OF LIKE PINTEREST HAS GOT TO BE GOOD.

*inserts self in conversation* MADI GOOGLE IS BETTERRR. *tries to calm self* I agree wholeheartedly with everything Clara said! Google Drive is insanely awesome, because you can use it on ANY device and in ANY location simply by signing in to your account — while you can’t use Word documents without using a computer/laptop that has already purchased Word. (All Google programs are completely free, including but not limited to: Drive, Hangouts — basically Skype –, Google Blogger, Google Maps, etc.) Also, Google Chrome provides the opportunity to use secure “extensions”. The one I use, which is called Momentum, makes the plain Google search screen into a daily overview with a beautiful picture each day and an inspirational quote. It lets you list your daily focus and to-dos. There are a lot more extensions, gorgeous wallpapers/background, and the like. :)
Google also has “Google Doodles” on many, many days of the year, which transform the plain Google Logo into an interactive game or design commemorating a certain day. For instance, on Beethoven’s birthday last year, they coded a game that challenged you to put the measures of Beethoven’s simple pieces in order, since he kept losing his music. Another one was for the Pony Express and was a game where you had to dodge cacti and bandits while delivering mail. :DD I LOVE GOOGLE SOOO MUCH and could rant a lot longer but I think I’ll stop here . . . at least for this comment, lol!

Good try Clara. I applaud your effort.
Yes, I do agree that Google has more fun (though useless) things than Bing. However, there is Bing Pong and Bing Snake if you really like that kind of thing. And maybe Google is a tad more sleek. But I like Bing because it works well.
The reason you think “Google it” sounds better is merely because people say it so often. In my opinion, “Bing it” has a nice ring. (This is obviously right because ‘Bing’ rhymes with ‘ring’.)
With Bing Maps, it keeps track of the searches you’ve made. If you search for an address in Hawaii and then for one in Colorado, you can go back to the Hawaii address with a single click. Google does not have this option.
Google Docs may look sleek, but Word Online (the Bing version of Docs) is a lot easier to get around. It has almost everything Microsoft Word has – including all the templates. (Invitations, planners, cards, calendars.) And you really can’t put up a fight against Power Point.
What was it that deleted four months of photos off of my blog? Oh yeah – GOOGLE PHOTOS. While the ‘flower’ and ‘dog’ searched might be nice, I would not be comfortable with Google being able to recognize my face.
After all of this arguing against Google, now it’s time to argue for Bing. Bing Rewards is a program where it will give you gift cards to Amazon, Starbucks, etc. You can also get free movie rentals. Plus, you can enter giveaways for laptops or even Super Bowl tickets.
And really, can you beat puffins in Santa Hats dancing to “Deck the Halls” on Bing’s homepage?

Oooh… that is true. VERY true. Google knows a lot about me from when I used Blogger… I could be walking down the streets in a closed, foreign nation one day preaching the Gospel under the noses of the law and all of sudden some facial recognition software partners with Google and they recognize who I am I DIE *hyperventilates*

Oh noooooo! Madiiii come back to Google! NOW SHUSH MEGAN . . . lol!
Now here — let me prepare my counter argument . . .
For Google Slides, you can import templates, which is super cool! Multiple people can also work on it at the same time (this goes for Docs too), talk about the project they’re working on in a little “chat” box, and see what and where the other people are working on in the powerpoint or document.
About the Google-Photos-recognizing-your-face thing, it’s commonly used by companies e-ver-y-where. Take Apple, for instance — in the “People” section of the iPhone’s photos, it analyzes faces just like Google. They don’t give this information away, and Google is super secure — they have teams of people who just try to hack into their own company to make sure there are no opportunities to do so from insecure third parties. TAKE THAT, BING!
