oops?

Wow. Okay. So it’s been a real year. I’ve sat here trying to bring myself the motivation and inspiration to make graphics and things for my friends here, but somehow it’s not happening, and I don’t know why. Instead, I’m settling for what doesn’t seem enough, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to put down in enough words how grateful I am to have these people in my life. So, a massive thank-you, because I couldn’t have done this year without the support I have on tumblr, even if the list here is ending up a lot shorter than it feels it should be. So, without further ado:

My best friend in the world (who tbh I still squeal every time I see her on tumblr even though it’s been a month because please don’t leave me like that again it was bad enough not having school to keep forcing us into seeing each other anymore):

@cluedowithjohn

The beautiful people I had the utmost pleasure of meeting (like actually standing in the same room and hugging and flailing with meeting) this year:

@marymacdonald @rideswithprongs @caradocdearborn

A few other special people who’ve stuck by me and made the year wonderful despite the miles between us geographically:

@nearlyheadless-stnick @whatifwritings @parkingsons @queenedfelicity @ahogwartschristmascarol @arrogantbullyingtoerag @mundungusfletcher @rosmertaslounge

The people who’ve only just come into my life, but I’m looking forward to establishing a closer relationship with in 2016:

@scientificsimmons @lipstickarrows @karolina--dean

To all of you, and to all my other followers I wish you a wonderful holiday, and for those of you who aren’t currently celebrating any holiday, a wonderful New Year. Thanks for sticking with me and all the craziness I’ve reblogged, from RP spam, to less-than-happy quotes when I was going through a rough time, to countless pictures of cats. Perhaps 2016 can bring us closer, whether that be for the first time or a reconnection!

I love you all ♥♥

Rule 1: Post the rules. Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger has set for you in their posts, then make 10 new ones. Rule 3: Tag 10 people and link them in your post. Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them. Questions from Jess

2. Film you’re anticipating coming out? So many, but I always do this then don't go and see them. It's already out but 12 Years a Slave is meant to be outstanding. Otherwise, I'm excited for  Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier

3. Film you’d most like to see made? Oh, gosh, I don't know I'd probably say something and someone will message me going THAT'S A FILM ALREADY. But they should do a film about my life. HA, okay that would be a boring film, I really don't know, let's move on.

4. Favourite cracker joke? Funny story. My mum bought crackers about 3 years ago in the January sales to keep for the next year and then each time it gets to Christmas forgets to put them out because it's been so long since she bought them she forgot that she even had them so I haven't had a cracker in ages, may I interest you in a penguin bar joke instead? What did one detective penguin say to the other detective penguin? Something's fishy here!

5. Would you rather get to see Sherlock S4 now and not be able to tell a SOUL about it. Not a word, till it comes out for the rest of us. OR meet your celeb crush and forget all about it the next day? I'd rather get to see Sherlock S4, because even though it would be agonising not being able to tell anyone, at least I know it would bug the hell out of you (Jess), too, if you knew I'd seen it and wouldn't tell you anything. Plus, it's better than forgetting all about meeting someone, at least eventually everyone else would have seen it and we could talk, if I met a celeb crush and then forgot all about it the next day, I'd only have instant gratification that one day, then go back to fangirling over them as if I'd never met them.

6. Who would you love to see in concert? Bastille.

7. What do you make if you’re cooking to impress? I don't often cook to impress, in all honesty, but probably tuna pasta bake, or just some sort of generic pasta and sauce, my repertoire is fairly limited. It might depend on what's cheap in ASDA though. I did salmon once. Just for me and it wasn't cooked very brilliantly, but I impressed my housemate.

9. Did you notice I missed out number eight? No, because I really need to change my Stylish theme, it's pretty but it's also really hard to read what I'm typing in text posts, or the questions which I copied and pasted from your post.

10. Yeah I’m running out of questions. Be vain, it’s important everyone should be sometimes - shamelessly tell me what you really like about yourself I kind of like that I'm a bit of a perfectionist, it might cause major issues when I don't want to hand in work that isn't perfect and it might make me stress out, and sometimes I'd rather not try than to not get something perfect, but when I try at things, I usually do them well, and being a little picky about how things are isn't a bad thing, I don't think :)

And I'm meant to be revising, and I did this once before and feel like I'd end up tagging a lot of the same people, so I'm going to wuss out and not do the questions right now, but if I remember after exams I will.

Tagging game

Rules: 

Rule 1: Always post the rules. Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you has written and write 11 new ones. Rule 3: Tag 11 new people and link them to your post. Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. most played song on your ipod/itunes/etc? Right now it's Fairytale of New York but that's because I had it on loop for ages. Next top is You Belong With Me - old fave from Taylor Swift.

2. book/series that influenced your life that’s not HP?

I want to give some credit to Enid Blyton's Faraway Tree collection because they were my favourites when I was little and really got me into the whole magical world thing before Harry Potter did.

3. thing you’re most proud of? Me getting into Uni 'cause I was worried there a bit.

pet peeve? When books are upside down on a shelf. When people make out as if you're in their way when you're standing still. When people have a conversation over a TV programme you're trying to watch. 

what gets you up in the morning? (if you’re not a morning person and raring to greet the day) The call of food.

favourite snack food? Crisps probably just on the grounds of those are what i'm most likely to eat as a snack. Chilly heatwave doritos <3

favourite doctor (9,10, 11)?  I love them all for different reasons, but 10.

worst decision made by tv writers this year? Cancelling Merlin. 

coffee or tea? Tea. I drink both though.

place you most want to visit/travel to? Australia sigh but so far away.

do you listen to music while doing work/writing? Nope I get distracted too easy and sing/hum along or spend half the time skipping tracks or something.

I'm asking:

Do you do New Year's Resolutions?

What has been the highlight of 2012 for you?

What's the last book you finished reading?

What's the most recent TV show you've got into?

Which one celebrity would you most like to meet?

If there were to be a canon spin-off from Harry Potter, what would you like it to be about (e.g. an era/ a character or group of characters etc.)

Have you got any phobias?

Do you go to the cinema often?

Popcorn: sweet or salty?

What tabs/windows do you have to have open when you're on the computer/laptop?

Windows or Apple? (or something else)

hello my babies I would like your addresses so I can send you Christmas cards is that okay? I love you all!

edit: also, your facebooks! why don't I has them?!

[whatwouldfrogsdo]

[whatwouldfrogsdo]

7, 14, 30, 32, 46 :)

7. My best friend.There’s three of them, all who went to school with me and don’t make me choose between them because Jess is my twinny, but Becca’s the most likely to see this :’) Jess, Becca and Beth. (Yeah… Beth doesn’t use her tumblr… and Jess has been neglecting hers >.<)

14. Do I have a crush?Nope.

30. Favourite band.I hate doing favourites because I’m the most indecisive person in the world. I had a midnight beast rave yesterday though.

32. Someone I love.Aw there’s loads of people I love to be fair. Them three mentioned up ^ there, other friends from uni and home and everywhere, obviously my family and then a bunch of people who I’ve actually never met because I know them from tumblr. But I’m going to go for Amy because that gives me the chance to shamelessly promote our love-child :’)

46. If I was drunk and can’t stand, who’s looking after me.Funny you should ask that because, it’s usually the other way around. I have a ridiculous tolerance for alcohol so that it costs me loads of money to drink tons and I’m still only tipsy-bordering-drunk-but-not-too-bad. I’ve never had a hangover in my life and the only time I threw up, I’m convinced it had nothing to do with all those tequila shots. So, I’d hope one of the millions of people I’ve looked after drunk would repay the favour.

(and now I really must go to sleep because it’s nearly 4 and I already told some people I was going to bed)

I HAS BEEN TAGGED 

'tis under the cut

RULE 1: POST THE RULES.

RULE 2: ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THE TAGGER SET FOR YOU IN THEIR POST AND THEN MAKE ELEVEN NEW ONES.

RULE 3: TAG 11 PEOPLE AND LINK THEM IN YOUR POST.

RULE 4: LET THEM KNOW THEY’VE BEEN TAGGED.

1. Pepsi or Coca-Cola, and why?

Pepsi.

Because it's usually cheaper and Coke is a bit too sweet for my tastes nowadays.

I'm so old.

2. What was the most memorable part of your life?

Part? Like chunk?

I don't know. probably the part I'm in now, as it's the freshest in my mind.

My life hasn't been very memorable.

3. What is your favourite TV series?

Sherlock. I think. I don't know.

I'm tired.

4. Where have you been that is furthest away from home?

I had to go and google map all the places we stopped on our road trip to see which was the furthest from home.

THE WINNER IS:

San Diego or LA, I'm not sure.

5. What is your dream job?

Actress

6. Do you think that we should destroy all of the atomic weapons in the world?

I don't know.I mean yes, that would be nice, but the point is, now we know how to make them. So what's to stop countries making them again and then they're a threat to countries that haven't? And you know not ALL of them would be destroyed. I don't honestly see nuclear warfare happening. It's too much of a risk, and the point is, if war is declared, and bombs are dropped, we can reciprocate, and it's not worth the damage it would do to the world.

7. Favourite song?

urgh.

no.

I can't.

I am sorry but that is the WORST question to ask me

nope

I can't pick.

8. Do you believe in destiny or free-will?

I believe in neither. 

Well kind of destiny, but pre-destination is different.

9. Do you think we could all have the chance to travel into space in our lifetime, one day?

In OUR lifetime? Which is what, the next seventy years? Very likely even more because there will be advancements in medicinal science. We'll all probably have to work until 85 to get our pensions by then. So yes. I mean, everyone does have the chance to travel into space right now, you just need to be rich enough to pay Richard Branson. But I see it being a lot more affordable in our lifetime. But still incredibly expensive.

10. Name 5 people who you hold closest.

Umm.

I don't really have an answer for that, as I don't really have anyone I can hold close, let alone est.

11. What is your biggest fear?

Not being alone, but being surrounded by people and having a friend in none of them. Being inadequate to them.

Eleven people.

Okay.

REAL SORRY GUYS

you were the first people to hand.

or mouse

or whatever.

(You don't have to do this)

OKAY SO

My eleven questions I shall pose are:

How would you most like to overcome your phobias, if you have any?

If there was one person you could collaborate with on this earth, alive or dead, for music, writing, filmmaking etc, who would it be, and why?

How would you most like to die?

What band would you most like to see live?

What talent would you most like to have?

What thing have you done in your life that you are most proud of?

Who would you lie for?

What is your favourite thing about yourself?

What is your favourite pair of socks?

If you could do one thing, money now limit, with no bad consequences, what would you do?

If you had the chance to go to any point in time, but staying in your current location, where would you go?

THESE ARE ALL CRAP SORRY.

I tried.

Okay, feel free to answer these!
