QUESTIONS FROM ALICE! self-love themed
1. What outfit makes you feel the most fabulous?
Ok, I'm not sure if this really counts because I haven't actually had a chance to wear it out yet but I have this deep navy blue dress with silver sparkles and long sleeves that I found in a vintage fair and it's beautiful, but I still need to find an event I can wear it to!
2. Name five things you love about your appearance.
Oh gosh, not feeling particularly body positive after the amount of revision crap I've eaten today but let's give this a go... I like the colour and shape of my eyes (that's probably my favourite thing actually), my neck and shoulders, uhhh my boobs I guess (bit of a love/hate relationship going on there), the colour of my hair when the sun shines on it and, I know this sounds weird, but my veins, where you can see them under my skin in my wrists and my chest.
3. Name five things you love about your personality.
Maaan these are such good questions. I love learning and being inspired. I think that's been my saving grace in life - wherever I end up I try to look for the inspiration. I'm a hard-worker, I can't really do anything halfway. I try not to conform my ideas or do things just because other people are doing them (not always successful at this one, got to admit, but I try). I think I'm very nonjudgmental, and I try and defend other people's rights to be their own person. And I'm quite open minded to a lot of things.
4. What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this year?
Hmm, a lot of good things have happened this year... not sure I can really pick a best one. Finishing my first year at vet school (hopefully), that's pretty cool... got to go and see Wicked and Billy Elliot and Orla Gartland... lot's of good memories with my friends... yeah 2014's been pretty decent so far
5. What song makes you want to SING LOUD AND OUT OF TUNE?
Most songs... but at the moment, particularly 'Heart and Soul' by Twin Atlantic
6. What would you tell your 15-year-old self if they felt a bit down?
You're your own person - don't be afraid not to live up to other people's expectations. Also, you're lucky to be alive and have the opportunities you do, embrace it, and don't let trivial stuff keep you down.
7. Where is your favourite place in the world and why is it your favourite?
I have 2 really... one is the marshes behind my house, next to the river. It's so peaceful and I used to go there when I felt particularly upset or angry or happy or just needed to get out. I think I actually made a lot of important decisions about my life there. The other is London Southbank, because you can pretty much lose yourself in the city there, and it's really beautiful all lit up. Also Camden market, as an afterthought.
8. Name three things that are going to happen that you are really bloody excited about.
I'm going to Tuscany and Amsterdam in the Summer yaaaaaaaay travelling!
I'm going to see Hudson Taylor tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also I'm finishing my exams in 2 weeks and 1 day and that cannot come fast enough
9. Have a rant about something. I’m giving you permission. Anything you want. Pick one thing that’s annoyed you recently and have a good old rant about it.
Ooooh... I'm not feeling particularly ranty right now. Hmmmm... oh actually half my clothes smell off fish because I accidentally washed them with my labcoat after a dissection and now I can't get the smell out and this is a rubbish rant but it's really effing annoying not to be able to wear half my clothes so they're just chilling in the kitchen at the moment and stinking the place out bc I couldn't deal with them being in my room anymore and yeah that's pretty much the extent of my rage right now
also exams i hate exams oh and HORSES WHY DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE A DIFFERENT ANATOMY FOR EVERYTHING FFS
Sorry, I forgot about horses earlier. Horses are pissing me off.
10. If you had to live in any book/film universe, what would you choose? Who would you be?
This is super cliche and there are so many more cultural things I could opt for but Harry Potter, no competition. Post-Voldemort, obvs.
11. What’s your superpower?
My dream superpower would be the ability to control time... pause it, rewind/fast-forward it and travel through it. Also the ability to find lost things, that would be pretty useful.
