- Rule 1 - Post the rules.

- Rule 3 - Tag 11 people and link them to your post
- Rule 4 - Let them know you’ve tagged them.
1. What made you join Tumblr?
Hmm… it was about three years ago now almost, and I saw this girls blog and I always loved looking at the pictures, short films and music she posted. And then one summer I was bored at my parents with not much to do, so I made my own blog on here.
2. What is your favorite comfort food?
Cheesecake, cookie dough ice cream and anything Italian.
3. How did you find my Tumblr?
Someone reblogged a post of yours, where you were sticking up for some chick who had arm pit hair. Or fanny pubes. Something like that. And I liked what you wrote and then I went on your blog and loved everything else you wrote and thought you were so pretty. Your blog is probably still my favourite now!
4. Your dream job?
I want to be a social worker.
5. Favorite song lyric or line of poetry or book?
This is impossible for me to say, unless I sat down for about three days deciding. I have so many. But I’ll give some vague answers. Jesse Lacey and Morrissey write some of my favourite song lyrics and I love a lot of the things that Charles Bukowski ever wrote.
6. How would your parents have described you as a child?
Geeky and inquisitive, most of all.
7. What features do you look for in a potential romantic partner (physical and mental)?
Things that I like are general hilariousness of the personality, good taste in things like movies and music and books (I really care about this), plaid shirts, smelling nice, forwardness, a quick wit and intelligence. I like it when I meet someone who knows things, who can tell me about them and teach me new stuff. I like guys who have a story to tell. And I like crooked smiles and weird teeth and I don’t really care too much about what sort of figure they have but I think I’d look strange with a super skinny guy. I like them to take the initiative a lot of the time, as long as I agree with what they’re doing. A potential romantic partner, for me, would have to have an open-minded personality that means I couldn’t deal with him being racist or homophobic or anything like that. And it would be nice if they are knowledgeable, at least slightly, about history and politics, as boring as that sounds. To make me happy, they just have to make me feel like I’m something special.
8. As a friend, what is your worst quality?
I like this question. I feel like my worst quality is that I’m always late and cancel plans more often than I should… I guess in that way, I’m unreliable. I’m sure there’s other things but that’s what came to my mind.
9. Ultimately, are you a cat or a dog person?
I love cats but I’m allergic to both so it doesn’t really matter because I’ll never have my own :(
10. Whether you’ve been there or not, which foreign land “speaks” to you or aligns with your personality?
Hmm… I don’t really think about this much, I guess that I’m okay with where I am. Mostly, I feel like I relate more to different periods of time rather than different places. Although, when I was a kid I was obsessed with Sweden because of Astrid Lindgren books and I wanted to live there so bad.
11. What was your favorite cartoon series or show as a child?
Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Lizzie McGuire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Saved By The Bell, Are You Afraid of The Dark, Goosebumps, That’s So Raven and a load of German programmes.

aintnoabacus
portiaconn
myshutterspeed
imnotamoomin
1) What’s your favourite childhood memory?
2) Do you have any serious regrets?
3) What would make you instantly not want to be friends with someone anymore? (Apart from the super obvious things)
4) Would you rather be rich and incredibly ugly, like, HIDEOUS, or poor and wonderfully beautiful? No-one would ever give you any money because of the way you look, and you wouldn’t get free shit either. And I’m talking dirt poor.
5) Do you feel bad when you see adverts about starving children or do you not give it a second thought?
6) If one day a genie came to you and said you could have 1 billion ££, but only if you can spend it in a day… what would you spend it on?
7) If you could tell someone anything right now, what would it be?
8) Do you believe in soul mates?
9) What’s the funniest thing that’s happened to you/you’ve seen lately?
10) Would you strangle everyone in your family to death if it meant you could stop all wars forever? LUL oh and you’d never get put in prison or anything. Like the world would be peaceful forever.
11) What’s been bothering you today or the past few days? Let it allllllllllll out

I surprised James in Germany at his gig in Stuttgart yesterday, he had absolutely no idea that I was going to come! I kept it all perfectly under wraps. It’s so funny cause the night before he kept saying how he wishes I could be there and I was just like “yeah… Me too” and I kept having to avoid FaceTime contact because I was at Ellen’s, who lives near the airport and I wanted him to think I was at home. Anyway, so yesterday my Dad went to take him out for drinks after meeting him at the venue he was playing at, and then I was there, waiting at the bar. The look on his face when he saw me was amazing! I thought the show itself was really good too, it was nice to be able to actually see them in the crowd. It’s strange, cause it was like going back in a time machine to when we first got together, and James’ band was still playing to 100 people. I think there were just under 100 there. But it was still cool cause there were quite a few people who knew every single word and you could tell that they really cared and were there to actually see them, not just for the sake of going to a show on a Saturday night.
My Dad is honestly one of the best people in the world, it was his idea to do this, and he paid for my flights. I’m so lucky :)
After the gig everyone stayed at mine (well, my parents’) and it was so fun. Although, today I’m absolutely shattered cause I missed a whole nights sleep on Friday and I only got a few hours of sleep last night. My eyes feel like they’re stuck together and I’m having trouble stringing sentences together :(

It’s weird how I’ve been alone all day with pretty much nothing to do, but I’m still in a really good mood. I’ve just been watching One Tree Hill and eating, what a life I lead. James just called me and he’s in Berlin where it’s really warm, I wish I was there so bad. It’s been hot in Germany all week, the other day it was 31 degrees at my parents when I was here enduring absolute dog shit weather! So upsetting.
I’m having dinner with James’ grandparents tonight, they are the nicest people in the world and made vegetarian food! :)

Tonight is my first night at home in about three weeks and it’s so nice to be back, and I returned home to about a million new things that I have ordered over the past few weeks. It felt like Christmas.
I’ve had such a good time for the most part while I’ve been away, I got to see so many friends which was amazing, and so many different places. Yesterday I was in Cardiff for James’ bands last show of their tour in the UK and it was just quite mind blowing. In other excellent news, a friend of mine and James’ is playing Hard Rock Calling this year and he said he will put us on the guestlist so we can see Bruce Springsteen!!! What a sweetheart, I will be SO happy the day this happens.

Things I hate today
Liars, rain, my suitcase which is far too full, my friends being sad and crying over boys, liars, shit stirrers, name droppers, liars, people who take others for granted, and once more, in case I didn’t get the message across: Liars.
The best thing about today: Watching Titanic 3D and weeping in Ellen’s arms and singing My Heart Will Go On when the credits came on, like lunatics (well, it was mainly just me doing the singing, and Ellen saying “Not here! You look like a crazy old blind lady!” [my 3D glasses were still on] yeah…

I feel so lucky to have friends who like the same music as me and are interested in finding new bands and artists, and how they can always introduce me to new things and I can do the same for them. Best thing. I’d actually be so sad if I didn’t have a few friends who weren’t into exactly the same things as me.
Today has been such a lovely day, I’m always just so happy at my parents. I love my family so much it’s unreal. Obviously we all annoy each other sometimes and we all have our quirks, but all in all, I really do love spending time with them and talking to them about stuff. A few minutes ago, my uncle asked me if I have enough pounds… and I was like WHAT DO YOU MEAN DO I HAVE ENOUGH POUNDS?! And he was just like “Well, do you think you do?” and then I started getting really offended, thinking he was hinting that I’m fat, but then he proceeded to give me £50 which was awesome… haha. I went swimming with my mother today too and that was lovely, even though I hardly even swam really, we just stayed at the side of the pool and chatted for ages. After that we went out for a meal and to a party at the local fire brigade and all my parents friends were there, they’re so nice. I’ve known most of them all my life. In other news that interests absolutely no one, I introduced my family to Modern Family last night and they watched it for hours on end and went to bed so late because they loved it so much. My mum is currently pestering me to watch some more with her :)

I’ve not been eating meat for a couple of months now and this part that I read in a book called Eating Animals (by Jonathan Safran Foer if you’d like to read it. He is a wonderful writer) seems to just explain my sentiments perfectly:
“If you stop and think about it later, it’s crazy. How would you judge an artist who mutilated animals in a gallery because it was visually arresting? How riverting would the sound of a tortured animal need to be to make you want to hear it that badly? Try to imagine any end other than taste for which it would be justifiable to do what we do to farmed animals.”

I’m amazing at this thing, where, when one thing goes wrong I instantly think of all the other things that have ever gone wrong in the past and then I think about all of that until it hurts and then I work myself up so much in my head and I get far too angry and just end up putting myself in far more of a mood than was needed in the first place. I seriously need to learn to let go because my shitty attitude/anger isn’t hurting anyone but me.
7:23 pm • 12 April 2012
Nina and I went for a midnight walk tonight and it was the nicest. We walked past all the rich peoples houses at the edge of the town and they are just unreal. We walked past Jermaine Defoe’s house and someone with a hood up was outside and I went: “Jermaine?” and they waved, haha! Probably wasn’t even him, though. Anyway so we are about to watch White Oleander and Nina’s making me some hot chocolate.
7:55 pm • 10 April 2012
I’m on a bit of a downer tonight. There’s this song that says we’re born with all these little lights and one lights up every time you feel love and they die along the way whenever the shit things happen, and you don’t get them back and by the time you’re old and cold and lying in the dark, they’re all burnt out. I feel like too many of my lights are burning out too quick because I worry and care about all the wrong things.

Last night Tanya and I came to the conclusion that I am a natural born stoner. If you know me in real life you’ll know that along with sometimes being quite slow (no, I do not think that’s cute or Girly, it’s something I hate about myself because it can make me look dumb when I know I’m far from it), I also say the weirdest shit. The data base of fucked up “would you rather” questions in my head is endless and last night, when Tanya and I were laying in bed at 4am, I said out of the blue “Imagine if we could just lay on clouds and, like, chill on them. Everyone could have their own cloud and we’d float around on them, travelling the world and sipping on cocktails.” kind of like the things you lay on in a swimming pool. Ugh I have no idea but the idea of it made me happy and then I went to sleep imagining it was real.

Picture this: It’s 12:10 and you’re in a lecture, and one of your friends says to you:
“Have you done the essay?”
And you’re like… “What essay?”
And they’re like… “The one that’s in for today”
And you’re like WHAT because you have no idea what they’re on about. Turns out you’ve completely forgotten about it.
So that’s essentially what’s happened to me today. My worst nightmare. I couldn’t just walk out of the lecture then and there because I had a presentation to do infront of the class.
I did my presentation, which finished at 1:45 so then I ran to the library and began my 1500 word essay.
I FINISHED IN AN HOUR.
And then I handed it on time and lived happily ever after.
(Until I found out I failed, ha.)
