ALIX OMG that is ridiculous but heck congrats you did fricking amazingly (literally how does that all fit in your timetable omg)

so last year i had 11 free periods a fortnight so?? it surprisingly does all fit
Rule 1: Always post the rules.
Rule 2: Answer the questions that the person who tagged you asked you and write 11 new ones.
Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post.
Rule 4: Actually tell them you tagged them.
Rule 5: tag/link me when you’re done, I wanna read them
1. What is your favourite quote? This is a tough question as I adore so much poetry... Poetry wise it would have to be the line "I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night" from a poem by Sarah Williams, though I could easily quote the whole of Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda.
2. Invisibility or Mind Reading? Why? Well neither are too high up on my superpower list, but I would prefer invisibility because I could pull some amazing pranks, get into movies for free and not invade people's private thoughts!
3. Mage, Warrior or Rogue? Rogue cause I love being sneaky sneaky, though I have to admit mage has it's appeal because explosions
4. Where is the first place you remember visiting on holiday? Ugh the first (and practically the only) place I've been on holiday is Mablethorpe. We used to go there every year because my grandma owns a caravan there- it's awful because it's always really cold and boring.
5. What’s your favourite hot drink and why is it coffee? Nice try, but my favourite hot drink is tea. Ceylon tea to be precise because if there's one thing me and my family have in common it's our love for fancy teas.
6. Are you double jointed. If so, where? Uh, I don't think so. I used to be able to do a thing with my wrists but now I can't cause it hurts my joints too much.
7. What are your 5 least played songs on iTunes or whatever media player you use? Closer to the Edge- 30 Seconds To Mars, Aria of the Soul- Shoji Meguro, The Final Battle- Les Miserables (it's too painful to listen to ._., Split Screen Sadness- John Mayer and The Gods Love Nubia- Aida
8. Hardback or Paperback? Paperback because I'm clumsy and they hurt less if you drop them on your face/ foot, also they're cheaper and easier to carry around.
9. What strange habits do you have? Uh well I guess thanks to English Literature and Language I've got into the habit of analysing lots of things in everyday life to find themes and stuff (seriously, I can't just read a book anymore without seeing symbolism and stuff.) I also talk to my cat a lot and give him all the nicknames under the sun... I love strawberries more than life but I'll always forget about a punnet once I've bought it because before my sister went to uni she would pretty much eat the entire punnet on the same day, so I'm used to never having a look in!
10. Who owes you money/a favour/anything? No one owes me anything! I don't really expect a favour in return for doing something nice for someone...
11. What do you love to do when it’s stormy weather outside? Ahhhh I love storms! I'll use them as inspiration to write, read or sometimes just listen to so I can relax.

I was tagged by coffeemoriarty and valyriaansteel but im doing Mura's questions. Sorry Cali!
1. Describe your favourite colour in five words without actually saying the name of the colour. Regal but not blood orange. (ok i honestly love the royal looking purple, the colour of some really post velvet)
2. What is your favourite thing to drink? There is this really cute place called Yumi Yumi Crepes in my town that does the nicest milkshakes ever, using different chocolate bars. The cafe is also where I met Mura, my bae <3
3. What is your favourite pokemon? Aegislash. Aegislash. Aegislash. So much class. So much technical play. So masterful that it had to be banned by smogon. Good job smogon. Afraid of players having to think?
4. What is your favourite game/tv/movie soundtrack? Okami. I don't claim to know all of the culture behind the art style or the japanese basis for the game, but holy shit that soundtrack sounds so authentic and brilliant. Ryoshima Coast makes me grin with glee everytime.
5.What is your favourite gaming platform? PC because mods. Enough said.
6. If you could bring one fictional character to life, who would it be and why? Gaige from Borderlands 2, because who doesn't want a tech genius friend who owns a giant hovering robot called Deathtrap. That's also customisable with anything from deadly razor blades, to snow shovelling hands for those harsh winters.
7. Favourite flavour of milkshake? From Yumi Yumi: Dairy Milk Caramel. From anywhere else: anything with mango.
8. What is the hardest thing you find to draw? Everything. I don't draw. If I were to draw, and attempt any aspect of human anatomy however, i'd likely end up in a frothing pile on the floor.
9. What are you most proud of in your life? To this day, it's my solo Legendary run-through of Halo Reach. I blitzed that in under two days. So much pain and so much fun.
10. What pets have you owned in your lifetime? One cat by the name of Ginger. Guess who came up with the genius name. But to be fair he is the brightest ginger cat i've ever seen.

This room is like dark indigo blue wallpaper with red curtains and it's really damn pretty and it was decorated before I was born so no I didn't really have a say

captain-aamerica replied to your post: rereading lists of dyspraxia symptoms ...
LITERALLY SAME omg i got diagnosed as dyspraxic just under a year ago but nobody actually told me what it meant
okay so i was diagnosed when i was about four. i had some physical therapy then. but nobody really talked about it since then. like i would very likely have been eligible for extra help in school, but when i moved to secondary my parents just didn't tell them.
but it's those kinda silly things. like i always thought i was just dirty or disgusting or lazy, because until we got a new shower recently i always hated having showers, as the water pressure wasn't good & i hated the sensation. & my room is always stupidly messy. but no, both of those things are linked with the dyspraxia.
i feel like more information & support could've been really helpful, even if only for my self esteem.
