Lilly for the latest meme?

lilly; what’s something you love watching/reading but you are too embarrassed to admit you do?

Does Say Yes to the Dress count? It’s good background noise and I don’t usually tell people I’ve seen every episode. Also Project Runway, but I’m not embarrassed about it.

26/120 asks and counting

Hey Allison! Primrose and Peony!

primrose; what book does everyone right now need to read?

Gosh, I don’t know. It’s actually my New Years resolution to read more this year. This is my first year that I’m not teaching (and not exclusively reading children’s books to my students) so I’m dedicating more time to reading. So short answer: I’ll get back to you about that. Lol

peony; share a small random book passage that means something to you.

One of my favorite books is a biography called Never Have I Ever. There’s are SO MANY quotes that were meaningful to me in college. I can pick just one. Highly recommend.

lion's fairytale, honey perfume, and love in the mist for the botanical asks :)

lion’s fairytale: would you rather be the sky, the ocean or the forests?

Forests

honey perfume: favorite movie ever?

Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I own it on DVD (two copies) and I still stop to watch it every time I see it on TV.

love in the mist: best books you’ve ever read?

Oh jeez. Um.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I read it at a really important age. When things like that are starting to happen.

Thanks for asking, dear! 🖤

For that question post...dahlia?

dahlia; do you like crystals? 

Yes and no? I think they are pretty but I would want any really? Unless it’s in something I don’t see the real hype of getting them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gardenia; what’s a promise you’ve recently made to yourself?

To do what makes me happy and to not worry about what other people think of it

apricot drift; how do you feel right now?

amazing. Just had a lovely lunch and Brasil won 2-0 against Costa Rica.

lavender dream; turn ons/offs?

I feel like I’m always being asked this question but basically turn ons are thighs/voice/passion/humour and turn offs are any of the -isms/apathy/pretentiousness

heliotrope; have you ever been in a castle?

YES. I live in Europe so they’re pretty much on every corner tbh

creams and sky; what’s the craziest/bravest thing you’ve done?

backpacked to Tibet alone

lantana; what’s on your mind right now?

that I need to get groceries and remember to print out my ticket for a play I’m going to tonight

tulip; name 5 facts about yourself.

I was 8 years old when I wrote my first story. It was in Dutch, and it was about a boy who got a little soldier toy for his birthday and that at night the soldier would come alive and make the boy’s homework. It was handwritten in pencil and my mom recently found it and framed it

I have 1 cousin on my mom’s side (my baby cousin Nalea who’s almost 2) and 23 cousins on my dad’s side (I’m the 5th oldest of the 24 cousins)

I have a poster of 101 Places to See Before You Die and I’ve done 42 of them and the poster basically dictates my travel plans

I used to be a competitive gymnast but had to stop after an assistant adjusted the vault and made it lower without telling us and when I went to do a routine triple salto/forward flip I didn’t get enough height and ended up landing on the back of my neck and cracked my spine

I’m so bad at art like whoah. When I was younger my mom put me in drawing/painting class and I attended twice a week for three years before the teacher called my mom in and told her to let me pursue something else because she felt guilty taking my mother’s money bc I was so bad and hadn’t improved one bit since the first class

angel’s face; what was your favorite bedtime story as a child?

Tyri-Hans Who Made the King’s Daughter Laugh, and/or The Twelve Dancing Princesses

lilac; if you could go back in time which time period would you visit?

Probably late 1500 to see Shakespeare

primula; what makes you sad?

the horrors of the world? also, sad music

forget me not; do you have any regrets looking back in your life?

nope

lunaria; what’s your favorite fictional universe?

oh this is a good question. If you’d asked a year ago it would have been Atlantis but now I’m inclined to say Wakanda

violet; favorite tv show?

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

sunflower; share a favorite quote.

“Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.” ― Frida Kahlo

snowdrop; what does your ideal day look like?

I have several ideal days and they kinda all depend on what I need in the moment but most of them involve my mom, sleeping in, and a beach.

peony; share a small random book passage that means something to you.

I haven’t really been reading books lately so I can’t share a passage, sorry :/

tea rose; what’s something you always wanted to do but were too scared?

get a tattoo, and not because I’m scared of getting one, but I’m scared of my mother basically murdering me

foxglove; who is your favorite cartoon character?

Helga from Hey Arnold!

lotus; best memory as a child?

beach Sundays with my family

buttercup; if you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?

I’d make everybody believe in climate change and actually do something about it

calendula; biggest pet peeve?

people who get on the train/tram/bus/metro before letting others off first

blazing star; share a secret.

I have 3 instagram accounts that I use to catfish people sometimes. Not for money or anything, just to slightly creep

petunia; who’s story is your biggest inspiration in life? why?

Frida Kahlo. She was a woman who dealt with and survived a great deal, but always did so with a sense of pride, strength, and dignity. She was so far ahead of her time. Long before it was “allowed” or acceptable, she was paving the way for strong women to do what they loved, and to speak their mind without having to edit herself.

morning glory; any special talent that you have?

I’ve never lost at Blackjack. Ever.

when a little baby animal is trying to do a thing but it’s too small or wobbly or nervous and it just does the little plop sit out of frustration. i cry every time.

Marigold, sugar bush?

marigold- what’s your favorite tea? 

I LOVE chai, warm or cold and spicy

sugarbush- do you have sweet tooth? what’s your favourite sweets? 

Violet, you have no clue. While I am trying to control my sweet tooth I have eaten whole US family sized bags of candy on my own within 1-2 days. I once bought £15 worth of pick-n-mix at the Christmas market and ate it on my own in 3 days. That was me showing restraint! The market people told me it was a record for single purchase. I really love fruity chewy candies and I can’t get enough of those sweets wrapped in foil that looks like the fruit their flavoured with?? strawberry is the best. 

Thank you for this ask, I didn’t expect to go into so much detail about my sugar addiction!
