11 facts about me

Thanks @jakeyjohnson and @ness-new-girl for the tag! i’ve loved reading all these facts about my fave FAMdom xox

It’s actually surprisingly hard to come up with 11 facts about your life when all you do is sleep and watch television, but here goes:

1) I live in Perth, Western Australia, which is actually the most boring fact ever. Not only because of how basic it is to describe your location in ‘facts about yourself’ but also because Perth is the most boring place ever (even Cece didn’t know when where it was)

2) I was born on the 1st of January and my sister was born on the 31st of December which is a super cool fact until you start questioning what is so significant with my parents 9 months prior (SOS)

3) My main talent includes sleeping for on average 4hrs a night, but managing to squeeze a solid 3+ hour nap in during the day. I think the proper word for that is ‘nocturnal’?

4) I dropped out of vet school last year to study journalism and public relatioins because i wanted to call myself a drop out like Nick Miller. (jokes, I’m lazy.... wait.. am i Nick Miller?)

5)I honestly don’t think i’ve gone more than like five days since age 4, without touching a horse. Not even because I voluntarily want to go outside everyday and not even because i feel inclined to pat my horses everyday but because they have to eat lolsss

6) At the exact moment I have 13 New Girl fanfiction tabs open on safari. (Oh how my life would be different if i was as dedicated to my degree as i am to this fandom)

7) I truly and whole heartedly believe Max Greenfield is significantly more attractive than Jake Johnson.

8) Zooey Deschanel frequently entices me to question my sexuality (but then i see a pic of Max again and i’m like ‘oh yep, definitely straight’)

9) Once, when i was 12, I finished the Simpsons hit and run Playstation 2 game in 42hours, and to this day it is my proudest achievement.

10) I don’t wanna blow my own horn but i am probably the best person you could bring a long to a kardashian themed quiz night (Should i be proud of or embarrassed by how much i know about that family??)

11) I see @zooeyslaychanell tryna pretend she’s the next Nicki Minaj or something but I DEAD ASS will whoop her ass in a rap battle.

I can’t keep up with who has/ hasn’t done it. But anyway, your turn: @taylorswift@fangirlingwithjen @jmort124 @msachsen @whatsmypogo @akendrink @hynohtz @vodka-and-a-sprite @horsesandperaltiago @idk-what-myurl-shouldbe

Rules: Tell your followers 11 random facts about you and tag 11 other people in return! The facts can be absolutely anything, whatever springs to mind! Let’s get started!

@mrnickmiller and @youcantmakeme tagged me. Guys, this wasn’t easy, okay? 11 facts about myself it’s too much hahah.

1. I’m an only child from divorced parents (they never had another kid with their present respective others either, and now are too old for this). My grandpa likes to say that I have a “typical 21st century family” lol.

2. I dropped law school to go to a journalism college. I hated law, I can’t see myself in this career. It was never what I wanted but everyone around me pressured me to do it back then.

3. I HATE cinnamon. Even the smell of it makes me sick.

4. I love soccer. I’m terrible playing it, but I love keeping up with it. Since I was little me and my dad regularly go to games and everything.

5. My dad is my best friend. That probably sounds silly, but he is. He’s the best person/father ever! I’m incredibly lucky to have him (if my mom saw this she’d be jealous lol, but she’s great too)

6. I still keep all the VHS I’ve ever bought, and a VHS player. It still works! I have almost 70 of them.

7. I have many bags but I only use the same one 90% of the time, it’s been 3 years now. It’s such a practical and pretty bag! Perfectly sized and goes with everything hahah. And it still looks new, okay?

8. I like every type of music ever. Seriously, you’ll find anything in my playlist. From rock, to electronic music, to rap to jazz to all the Brazilian music styles, even those that people hate in here (like funk or “sertanejo”, which would be our country music, sort of).

10. I’m a cat lover. I have 3 cats but if I could, I’d have 10! I’d pick every cat I find in the streets to live with me!

11. I rarely finish a TV show. I usually end up abandoning it halfway through because I get bored. Game Of Thrones and New Girl are the only two that I’ve been faithful to for a long time now. And Friends is one of the few I can remember that I actually finished (right now it’s the only one I can remember, but I’m sure there’s others)

I tag @zooeyslaychanell @zooeys @dreamsofsleepingin @callmelauramiller @newgirlystuff @tuxedos-are-not-suits @msachsen @jmort124 @hynohtz, if they wanna do it, and also who else feels like doing it! These are the names I could think of right now, I don’t even know if you did it already or not, so sorry if I tagged you again

ELEVEN

(Not the kid from that Netflix show) Good friend @vraik tagged me for an “11 things about you” deal so let’s see what I can dredge up. 1. I can Smell Forever. It is a blessing and a curse. I can figure out the seasonings in food I didn’t make, but I can also smell the acetates in nail polish for 48 hours after it’s dry. My partners find my ability to determine something they ate five hours ago, from their breath alone, unnerving. 2. I’ve probably said this before ‘cause it’s my one good story, but I interviewed to work at the actual brand name Real Doll factory. Fleshlight cores. Fleshlight cores EVERYWHERE. 3. I fixate on things. Last summer it was dinosaurs, right now it’s F-Zero (the entire franchise but especially the 2003 anime). It’s particularly weird because I HATED Captain Falcon in Smash Bros, but now he’s my guy. (I maintain that the macho loudmouth in SB is not the same Captain Falcon from the show.) 4. I’m a sucker for Alice in Wonderland inspired aesthetics, despite finding the source material kind of harrowing (it reads like trying to navigate the world as a mentally ill/socially maladapted person--been there done that). I guess it makes sense since I do like ouija fashion, surreality, and monsters. 

5. I wrote the first fanfic of my life last week! I know. 6. In September of this year I will be the same age that Lemme is in my comic. Sinh? Like little baby. 7. I can do convincing-enough zebra finch beeps that they’ll talk back to me in pet stores and stuff. I had zebra finches as a teenager and I miss them but I would never keep them again unless I could afford and maintain an aviary. Cage-bound birds are too sad. 8. My comfort-reading is anything by Robin McKinley, but especially Sunshine. I’m terrible about just re-reading favorites instead of starting new books. 9. Same goes for everything, actually--movies, shows, video games, etc. I think it has at least a little to do with having attention span (and memory) issues and missing a lot on the first go through. But also I like to comfort myself with familiar and beloved things. 10. I constantly have to preface questions with “I can’t remember if I already asked you this or just thought about asking you this, but--” 11. I just met @triacanthos this weekend after being online pals for like a heckjillion years! Very nice, excellent fashions. I’m not gonna tag anybody ‘cause I have to get to work and I’ve used up too much brain power already. Do it of you wanna!

Rules: Tell your followers 11 random facts about you and tag 11 other people in return. The facts can be absolutely anything, whatever springs to mind.

1. I have this thing on my thumb that I don’t know if its a wart or callous. I just know that cutting away at it doesn’t make it go away. It grows back.

2. I used to collect action figures, then Transformer action figures, and now I collect Lego figurines.

3. I own a black cat named Prowl. He has white hairs peppering his tail.

4. I tried singing Christina Aguilera’s song, “Bound to You,” once, and my mom, (who is completely deaf in one ear), heard me from outside of the house and thought I was being murdered. (I mean, I was in pain but not from being stabbed.)

5. My fave characters tend to be ice-related, grumpy cat types, or smooth af gray characters. (Oh look, Len fits all three.)

6. Pretty sure I’m a boring straight person with biromantic or bi-curious tendencies. But there are so many options, I’m like, what if I’m wrong?

7. It does upset me when I don’t get asks for those memes. I know not everyone gets them, but to nine times out of ten not get a single one sucks.

8. As the youngest, I do enjoy being a little shithead from time to time, but I make up for it with consideration and cooking.

9. If there’s a lazy way to do a sport, I will find it. I mean, I played soccer, midfield, but I was so quick to pass the ball to another teammate. The most I hit the ball was when I stood still and got hit with it three times in a row XD (I was just in the right spot.)

10. Babysitting my nephew has in a lot of ways helped me and my sis grow closer like we used to be back when I was a kid. Now to work on our relationship with our brother, cause she’s under the impression he wouldn’t help us out, and I’m inclined to say he would if he could but probably can’t do shit from his position.

11. I’m 30, and still don’t have a driver’s license XD (I don’t drive tho, so I guess there’s that for now.)

11 facts about me...

tagged by the universe-unbalancing (seriously, woman? :p) @drgns8er ha! you do you, darling!

1. i like ice-cold drinks. i am perplexed whenever i visit the rogue, as ireland (and much of europe from what i gather) does not believe in ice in beverages. it makes me sad. he bought ice bags for me the last time i went...i was touched.

2. i spend time drawing things, and then throw them away because i think they look awful. (trust me, they do, i’m not good at drawing, but i like to try)

3. i met Nando Parrado at a conference i attended for work a few years ago, he was the keynote speaker and it was completely by chance that i was introduced to him...he was a very warm and pleasant man, but all i could think while he shook my hand was...”you ate people.”

4. i once had a boss who looked like Howdy Doody. i used to say Howdy to him whenever i saw him, and he thought i was just being friendly, but really it was because i thought he was doody, and it made me smile on the inside. (he really was crap. and NO, i’m not that old that i remember Howdy Doody! he was creepy and that kinda sticks with you...talking dolls? NO!)

5. i quote books, songs, movies a lot in everyday life...i’ve recently added Crowley quotes from Supernatural to the usual repertoire and my sister is so pleased (she’s a huge SPN-head)...but she’s a little concerned that i’m only quoting Crowley. ha.

6. i rate movies and television by their soundtracks...if the music sucks, i don’t care how great it is, it’s just not as great as it could have been. i appreciate the efforts of really good music supervisors and score composers. for me, the music is about as important as the story.

7. Johnny Rotten blew me a kiss in the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace once and i seriously love him for it. (sigh, the only Ginger i could ever truly love)

8. i want to live in a Wes Anderson world.

9. i like my steak bloody rare. walk it slowly through a warm room and it’s done. ok, sear it hard for a minute, then it’s done.

10. every time i’ve gone to NYC (only a handful) i’ve run into someone from my hometown, unintentionally. do you know how weird that is? a city of 8 million people and i am greeted by someone from a town of 20,000 almost 500 miles away. the universe is screwing with me, this is proof.

11. an ex-boyfriend’s dad collected and fixed old Jaguars as a hobby (nice hobby, right?) and he never let anyone drive them, especially his son. one day, his dad was going to see his parents (about an hour and a half away) and asked if we wanted to come and i said sure and then he asked if i wanted to drive one of the Jags and i said HELL YES! and my ex got soooo mad at me he didn’t talk to me the whole trip. i mean, come on, dude, be mad at your dad, there was no way i was going to say NO...it drove like an absolute dream. like steering a cloud across an endless sky....sigh.

leaving this tag open, if you want to drop some facts about yourself (not alternative ones, though, please) just say i tagged ya.

[mellorad]

Share ten facts about yourself, then send this to your ten favorite followers:)

DHHDSHJ THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK, JULIA!! <3 Oh gosh, I’m one of your favorite followers…?? sjkskhsd I feel so honoured, I can’t believe it!OKAY SO! I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, trying to think of some facts, and since I’ve had some people tagging me in those “11 facts” tag memes, I decided to write 11 facts now!! Thank you to @gomboc123 @haganenobeato for tagging me to do this, and… anyone that might have tagged me and I cannot remember dfjkghjk

So, I’m gonna merge these two concepts together now and tag… @xennariel @sevenfairysins @annablume @mustangsgloves @egalitarian-nature-blog @halfbakedbagel @chortling-dingo @thestaffofra @peggyplatter @geoogl @ladywiltshire jkhshjkfgkj I don’t know if you’ve done these or not, I keep forgetting!! Also, if I didn’t tag you and you want to do this, consider yourself tagged, and go ahead!

1. I used to play in an orchestra when I was a kid! I played the trumpet, haha. I also had singing classes and musical education to some extent as an older kid, and I’d join in on my school’s choir sometimes for festive occasions.

2. I LOVE travelling!! Oh man I’m all about exploring new countries and getting to know their culture. I’ve been to all continents (except Oceania, haha), and visited a lot of countries, including (but not restricted to): Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Dominican Republic, Italy, Switzerland… the list goes on, haha. I can only hope I’ll be able to earn enough money to keep up with my travelling desires!!

3. I spent 10 years of my education (the equivalent to preschool /elementary /middle /junior high) in a catholic school, with nuns and everything. Consequently, the whole experience has made me the most religiously DEtached person ever, haha. I’m just tryin’ to live my life, man!

4. I suffered from (psychological/social) bullying throughout my time in said catholic school. That, coupled with a long history of failed friendships, has… taken a huge toll on me. I’ve grown to learn from (and accept) these situations as part of my past and the reason behind… a lot of my struggles, and as of now, I’m trying to work past the emotional aftermath. 

5. When I was a kid, I used to be really obsessed with dinossaurs (and animals as a whole, except for bugs). I was so, so nerdy back then djksgfkjh and I knew wayyyy more than any kid that age should possibly know about those topics. Therefore, when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I’d say paleonthologist, zoologist and biologist (at the earliest of my childhood, I wanted to be a singer or a vet!). Though the dino fever died down when I was about… 11, my love for animals still remains and I only started to think of arts as an actual career path when I was 13.

6. I could have been a published author at the age of 14. I had everything just about set: the short story was approved by a proper publisher, I had already done the illustratons and they were ready to go, and I was just waiting for the preface to be written. However, a few things delayed the process and school got in the middle of it as well, and in the end… I decided to not go forth with it, and even now, more than ever, I still stand by my choice.

It’s not that it isn’t well written, quite the contrary; I still find value in it, and I appreciate it for what it is, but it’s the kind of story that I don’t think quite… represents me as a person, as a writer? It doesn’t really represent the kind of themes, characters and stories I want to explore.

Regardless, it was a huge learning experience for me, and I think I truly found my path soon afterwards; which includes the two (entirely different!) stories I’m currently working on. Haha, I hope this is indicative of my love for literature and writing!! I’ve always loved to read and write, ever since I was really young. c:

7. I’ve done the Portuguese Way of St. James/Camino de Santiago!! Again, not for religious reasons; recreational ones. I walked around… 120 kms in 5 days? Not counting the extra kilometres I walked around in the cities with pilgrim hostels in which I’d stay the night. It was a really amazing experience, and I’d absolutely love to do it again with a few loved ones down the line!!

8. I have a rescue dog, named Simba!! He’s quite the stubborn old pupper (turning 11 years old this year); presumably a mix between a Labrador and a Portuguese Pointer, with lots of personality, haha, he’s always been a riot to take care of, but I love him to bits. <3

9. If you hadn’t noticed before: I also LOVE botany!! It’s a rather recent passion of mine; I mean, I had always loved plants and flowers, but I think it truly grew on me when I befriended this wonderful elder artist with a lovely fascination for botany (whom I consider to be some sort of grandfather/mentor figure; a truly fascinating man!).

He has inspired me so much, and because of him, I must say I have a little personal goal for life: to know the names of all the plants around me and know them at least a little bit. So I love… LOVE watching the plants in my garden grow!! I think of them so tenderly, like they’re old (and new) friends, they never fail to surprise me everyday, and I’ve learnt so many life lessons from them. I also love admiring all sorts of trees and flowers, of course, and I’m always trying to identify them!!!

10. I hate sports. I really, really do; I’m exceptionally clumsy, lack the coordination, speed and stamina, so I always detested them. I did swim for 3-4 years, though, as a way of getting fit, but I ended up dropping it. However, I do love going on walks; specially now!!

11. Alright so you know I really love music… but I doubt that you know the full extent of it (unless you’re close to me/pay close attention): 

I listen to music compulsively. I need to listen to something new that I find freaking great about every 2 weeks, otherwise I’ll feel like there’s something wrong in my life. I own 5 pairs of headphones, over 10 pairs of earphones, and some speakers. 

I actively dissect, analyze and criticize music; the great majority of my walks home from college and any moment on public transports is spent focusing on albums, and pretty much writing and reciting music reviews in my head, as if I were to make a speech about it. As such, I’m always ready to talk about music, give music equipment recs, and discuss some albums for a long time, and I even know a bit of history regarding the genres I listen to. 

Admittingly, it is never enough!! I can only hope to become a walking music library, constantly broadening my musical horizons and knowledge.
