I was tagged by tweakerwolf

rule 1: always post the rules

rule 2: answer the questions from the person that tagged you and then write 11 new ones

rule 3: tag eleven eight new people and link them to the post

rule 4: actually tell them you tagged them

1. What was your favorite bedtime story as a kid?

The Tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. We even have a Christmas decoration that reminds me of it!

2. What is your favorite gaming platform (xbox, PC, PS3, etc)?

I don’t game too much… I’m actually terrible I can’t even walk in a straight line. It takes me longer to walk from place to place on Assassin’s Creed than to complete the missions. It’s really really bad. But I guess I would say wii because thats the only one I can actually do anything on.

3. Have you ever gone camping, full on tent experience in the wild (backyard doesn’t count)?

Nope, I’m not very much into the outdoors; I much prefer staying home or going to the beach etc. But I have gone to band camp at a campsite (with cabins).

4. Do you have a favorite outfit?

Most definitely. I have a forest green sweater that I wear with black leggings and brown riding boots. Its really cute, but I don’t get to wear it often because the boots army sister’s and she doesn't like to share.

5. Are you normally hot or cold (tempurature-wise)?

Probably hot most of the time. I’m definitely a fan of the winter bc I like bundling up and I wear jeans a lot so I tend to overheat.

6. Ever go skinny dipping?

Nope.

7. Ever play Spin-the-Bottle at a Party?

Nope. Not only have I never gone to the traditional hide-it-from-your-parents, can’t-go-home-because-Im-so-drunk party where this may happen, my friends and I are not very daring (truth or dare even ends up with a lot of relatively safe topics), the people in my town are not very attractive, nor do they have decent personalities, overall.

8. Have you ever dated someone behind your parents’ back?

Nope. My parents have never been the type to forbid us from dating. Their attitude was that they would rather have us tell them and them not be 100% happy that we were youngish than us hide it.

Also, I would need to be asked on dates for that to happen - and that didn't happen until senior year so by then my parents couldn't really object because I was 18.

Sorry I pretty boring :p

9. Are you obsessed with social media (facebook, twitter, instagram)?

Only if tumblr counts. I’m on this website way too much, to the point where my mom yells at me because I am using up the same amount of data as everyone else in the family combined (my plan has 6 other people on it, to put that in perspective).

But, I have been more active on Facebook lately because I have been checking the “UChicago Class of 2018” page constantly. Yay college!

10. What is one recipe that you know?

I know how to make Syrian meatballs (ground beef that is mixed with rice and boiled, also there is a TON of lemon juice in them I don't think there is a single Arabic dish that isn't) - I can send you the recipe if you want!

11. Would you really, in all honesty, survive and apocalypse?

Hell no! I’d probably be one of the first ones to go tbh. I haven’t done any kind of physical activity in over a year (and even then I did marching band and softball, not the most physically/running intensive sports). I wouldn’t be able to outrun something coming after me. I’d be the person left behind as a sacrifice to occupy the enemy so the rest of the group could get away. Also, I can’t shoot or anything like that and my aim is terrible (with a softball), so I would be useless if we had to kill zombies etc. I would 100% die in an apocalypse. 

My Questions:

1. Do you have a nickname and what is it?

2. What is your OTP?

3. Biggest pet peeve?

4. What do you look for in a friend?

5. Is there anything you didn’t ship/watch before coming to tumblr that you now enjoy?

6. What do you think your patronus would be and why?

7. If you could have dinner with anyone (dead or alive), who would it be?

8. Favorite instrument (to play on or to listen to)?

9. A skill you didn’t have 4 years ago that you have now?

10. Favorite specific topic learned in school?

11. Why did you pick your URL.

I was tagged by capapollo

rule 1: always post the rules

rule 2: answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write ten new ones

rule 3: tag ten eleven people and link them to the post

rule 4: actually tell them you tagged them

1. Favorite character from any work of fiction ever?

Hermione Granger. She is honestly one of the biggest a reasons I focused on school and didn't think being bossy was a bad thing. She is the reason I didn't just go with the "girly" crowd and end up with really terrible fake friends in middle and high school. She shaped my childhood.

2. What would your dream career be?

If money was no object I would want to open a Harry Potter summer camp. Its been my dream since I didn’t get my letter when I turned 11 to bring the books to life in person for kids. It would be intense and WWOHP-esque. And we would have all the classes offered at Hogwarts offered to campers. And each week would be one book. So there would be a troll first week, dueling club second week, Yule ball fourth week, etc. There would be Quidditch teams and returning campers could be prefects. I would absolutely love being able to bring the magic of the books alive and to be able to introduce a deeper love and knowledge of the series to a new generation. 

3. What is the next big thing you are looking forward to?

COLLEGE!! I am a rising freshman at the University of Chicago. I’m extremely excited for the new experiences that come with college (both the social and academic). I am very ready to get out of NJ and meet some new people (even though I have loved the BHS!)

4. Describe a reoccurring dream.

When I was young (5-9) I used to have a recurring dream that would get progressively longer each time. The end result was this: there was a baby alligator in my house. Confused, I look outside and see it's mom in front of my next door neighbors house. Realizing it's lost, I pick the baby up and put it outside where it can see it's mom. But the mom thinks I stole the baby. So she starts walking menacingly towards my house. I slam the door, which turns to straw (woven straw but still). I go to the window near the staircase leading to the second floor, where my mom is holding my dad's legs as he sits on the window sill while he fixes the roof (how a man who is 5'6" could reach the roof from the first floor I have no clue). I tell them to get inside and close the window because the alligator mom is trying to get me. They say they can't because they have to fix the roof. Then the alligator sneaks in the window past my parents, with a creepy ass grin on. I run up to my room and start to climb up to the top bunk (I share a room with my sister). I turn and start pulling the ladder up so it can't follow me. The alligator bursts into the room... And thanks me for returning her baby to her. It was literally one of the scariest dreams I've ever had and she was just trying to thank me. After she thanked me I never had the dream again, but it took at least 8 time for it to get to that point. I have been terrified of alligators ever since. 

5. What is your best childhood memory?

Take your kids to work day at my dad's old job (Paine Weber/UBS). We went until I was like 8 and he got a new job.  They set up really fun, awesome stations like finger painting and those pieces of paper that spin and you put paint in and it comes out with cool designs. We would get all dressed up and spend all day there it was really fun! (And we would get free stuff from his coworkers - I lived for the squishy "stress ball" apples this one lady gave me).

6. What super power would you want to have if you were a super villain?

I would want to the ability to affect probabilities. Like what is the chance that you will do my bidding? 100%. What is the chance I'm the ruler of the world? 100%. What is the chance that the peasants will overthrow me? 0%. It would be great.

(btw this is not my idea I saw it on tumblr somewhere, but since I don’t tag anything I can’t find it - if you know who posted it or can link me to the post I would appreciate being able to put the source)

7. What was the last book you tried to finish but just couldn’t?

Heart of Darkness. I had to read it for class and I couldn't get past the first chapter.

8. Who is your favorite actor/actress of all time?

Leonardo DiCaprio. Love all his work (Revolutionary Road might be my favorite movie ever - you should watch it!!!)

9. You’re on Death Row. What’s your last meal going to be?

I love pasta so cheese ravioli, Mac and cheese, garlic bread, some Caesar salad so I can eat the croutons, and fried wontons.  And diet coke to drink. 

10. What is your favorite sound?

I really love the sound of rain/thunder. It helps me sleep. 

My Questions:

1. Who is your all time favorite author?

2. What Hogwarts house do you identify with?

3. If you could go into a book/movie/tv show/etc universe, which would it be?

4. If you could become world famous, what would you want to be known for?

5. What is one thing you are extremely happy to have finished so far this year?

6. What is your favorite time of day - are you an early bird or a night owl?

7. Tea or coffee? How do you take it?

8. Do you have a hidden talent or hobby? What is it?

9. What is your favorite tv show/movie/book?

10. Who is your tumblr crush?

here's a thingy

tagged by youandibreatheconstellations

  rule 1: always post the rules.

rule 2: answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write ten new ones.

rule 3: tag ten people and link them to the post.

rule 4: actually tell them you tagged them.

  1) when did you last third wheel?

A few weeks ago I went to Denmark to visit my bestie (who’s been studying there for a year) for 3 days. I stayed with her and her bf (they’re sharing a flat atm) so I basically spent 3 days third wheeling :P

2) how do you apologise for when you 100% definitely fuck up (i mean this seriously, what do you do)?

Realistically, I think if you’ve seriously fucked up then SAYING you’re sorry isn’t enough – if you’ve done something really bad then apologising is gonna mean fuck all. Like, really. Nobody’s gonna give a shit how sorry you are. The important thing is to show that you understand that you’ve fucked up and then do whatever you can to fix things and try your hardest to make sure you don’t fuck whatever it is up again in the future.

3) if you’re in ~fandom~, which fandom would you disassociate yourself with?

I don’t really know if I’m in fandom tbh. I mean, I’m a fan of a ton of things and I guess fandom stuff is mostly what I post and reblog on here… but fandom can be a bit intimidating and scary sometimes, particularly SuperWhoLock (and I love all three of those shows), because there are ALWAYS some really shitty people who get super possessive because they feel like it’s THEIR show or whatever and that can get nasty… so I try not to delve toooo deep into fandom really.

4) if you play games, a game you’re in the middle of and may never finish. if you don’t, a book or tv show?

As much as in some ways I’d like to be, I’m not really much of a gamer. But I’m in the middle of Of Mice and Men (by John Steinbeck) atm and even though it’s really short I just…. Ugh.

5) which sale do you spend the most money in?

BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS

6) would you travel across the world to study something you love?

A few years ago (like before I went to uni) I would have been terrified to go by myself to study in another country but the thought of it doesn’t seem so scary anymore. So yeah, maybe! As long as I knew a bit of the language first though… Like, it would be wonderful to go to Greece or Italy to study Classics (which is what I’ve just graduated in)!

7) how do you record memories? do you have a journal, a pinboard with photos/etc (i have a pinboard with concert tickets) or something else?

I keep everything. Concert tickets, cinema tickets, train tickets, boarding passes. I keep them all in this box – a memory box, you could say.  I also take quite a lot of photos and I’ve recently started using Instagram pretty regularly – it’s nice, it’s like a record of some of my favourite moments, moments that felt important enough for me to capture on camera.

8) those of you who do foreigh languages: do you prefer to focus on semantics of the language when translating or get the vague meaning of the text?

I’m always been kind of a perfectionist about languages, always wanting to get it RIGHT. But sometimes there just isn’t a “right” way of translating, sometimes you can’t translate things perfectly because the language you’re translating into doesn’t have an exact equivalent. So sometimes it’s better to try and find the FEELING of a word/phrase and translate it that way. I guess it’s really the sense of the word/phrase that’s important, right?

9) ” : do you prefer studying language and grammar, or practising reading texts?

Learning grammar can suck. Like, really REALLY suck. I hate grammar. But it can also be really satisfying when you get it right. Reading texts is a challenge but it can be WAY MORE FUN to put your grammar knowledge to the test in a more natural and interesting way than just memorising grammar tables – it can be tough but it’s really rewarding when you can successfully translate something new!

10) one subject you feel really qualified to talk about?

I feel like I should say Classics because I’ve just graduated with a degree in it…! But there will always be so much more to learn about it… So I’m gonna go with Harry Potter. Or Jane Austen’s novels.

   Questions:

1) What would be harder for you to tell someone, that you love them (romantically) or that you do not love them back?

2) What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up, and why?

3) What was the last thing that made you laugh?

4) Something that has made you happy today (no matter how small)?

5) What was the last book/movie/tv show that disappointed you/didn’t live up to the expectations you had for it, and why?

6) Two favourite words (in any language – if they aren’t English words, what do they mean?):

7) Some things that you like about yourself?

8) Achievement you’re most proud of?

9) If time machines existed and you could only go BACKWARDS in time, where (or should I say WHEN) would you go? Or would you choose not to go at all??

10) Last movie you watched/book you read?

I tag dividedconsciousness, capapollo, tearsofcastiel, pommedelapomme, lonelinessofsix and basically anybody who wants to do it :)
