soooo I feel really daft because I thought you could only tag people who hadn't been tagged yet, which is why I didn't tag a whole bunch of people which doesn't make any sense because I got tagged four times. iFail. anyway, here we go again!

1. What is your favourite quote (of anybody.)
oh god, there are way too many so I'm just gonna choose a random one I like
"Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viola or lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?" (from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde)
again, I'll have to say England because I'm boring and unoriginal
3. Let me just steal the character question. Which character do you identify yourself with. and why.
wow shot myself in the foot there didn't I
um, I really don't know? Probably Gemma Doyle in the Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray except I'm not badass and lack magic powers
4. Tell me your opinion about religion.
"Religion is like a penis - I don't mind it as long as you don't shove it in my face"
I'm not a very religious person, I don't believe in God and church-y things often make me feel really uncomfortable, like when people are really devoted to their faith and trying to convince me that it's the only way to be happy or whatever but generally, I don't mind people who are religious. As long as they're not trying to convert me or anything, I absolutely respect that. I think it can teach you a lot of things about yourself.
5. Do you prefer nature or the city?
I prefer big cities because I was born in one. I wouldn't be able to live in the country because I just get bored with it so quickly. I think I love Berlin so much because it's pretty busy but there also a lot of green areas to get away from the buzz.
6. What is your favourite movie/series soundtrack.
DIDI THESE QUESTIONS ARE REALLY TOUGH WHY
ummmmmm I'm gonna go with Sweeney Todd (the 2007 movie) just because I've been obsessed with it since it came out and I can speak and sing along to the entire thing and it's everything that is good in the world
my favourite scoreis probably the one for "Small Island" :)
7. What is your favourite smell.
basically any lip balm from The Body Shop because yum. I like the smell of petrol and nail polish as well haha
8. Talk about a very embarrassing situation you were in. no matter how long ago.
um, I can't think of anything spectacularly humiliating at the moment, but I suppose there was that time we were dancing to a hip hop song in cheerleader outfits to a full auditorium in 10th grade and then the music kept skipping so we were out of sync and had to walk off and do it again later (Leo was there and will forever be able to blackmail me with the footage from that night)
9. Do you struggle with sth. at the moment?
a cold and my Florabella feels?
10. Your favourite actor/actress of all times.
Ruth Wilson, hands down.
11. Would you visit New Zealand with me?
aww! depends on where/when/how, but in general, sure! Alina has heartlessly abandoned me to go to New Zealand, maybe I should do the same haha

1.What is your favorite hobby?
Drawing and vidding probably even though I don't edit nearly as often as I wish I did
2.If you could be granted 3 wishes, what would they be, and why?
to be able to live and study film & tv in London (because I feel it is crucial to my happiness, idk)
that people could marry or even just be with whomever they want, where ever they are (because I don't understand why this is still an issue)
to spend a day with Florence? is that shallow? (because it would fucking make my life)
3.If you could only do one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
it's a tie between listening to music and reading
4.Which is the best book you have ever read?
guys, what's with all the superlatives
it completely depends on what you're going for ... in terms of observing human nature and background, I'd have to say "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy (this guy was omniscient) but it's still not among my favourite books. Plot-wise, "Sharp Objects" by Gillian Flynn. Narratively, "Luther: The Calling" by Neil Cross. On an emotional level, "The Sweet Far Thing" by Libba Bray.
lol never expect me to choose just one thing. in any situation ever
5.What are the three things that you cannot live without?
I think somebody asked me this before and the answer doesn't really differ
the internet, music, food
6. Has any movie, or book made a huge impact on you?
Oh, definitely. "Sweeney Todd" really fuelled my love for the macabre and also Helena Bonham Carter, which made me start dressing quite strangely and I still haven't really come out of that phase tbh
and Harry Potter ruled my entire child-/young adulthood
7. Which is the place that you always wanted to visit?
LONDON. in case I haven't made that clear
and I don't think Atlantis counts
I've actually been to London like 6 times but it seems I am insatiable
8. Which is the movie that you never get tired of watching?
The Boat That Rocked. I watched it 3 times in 8 days when it was still running, I've seen this movie so many times and always with the same friend, if you haven't seen that movie you haven't lived
9. Which is the most memorable day you ever had?
I'm not sure tbh, I forget a lot of good stuff but maybe June 23rd, 2012? That was the day I saw Florence, Mumford & Sons, Bonaparte and Kakkmaddafakka at Hurricane festival and if you've ever seen even just one of those bands live you'll understand how massive that was. And I was with my friends during the whole thing and we were dancing and shouting and absolutely filthy with dust and it was just completely glorious.
10.What are the five adjectives that describe you?
weird, excitable, loving, moody, pensive.
11. Which was your most memorable birthday?
Probably my last one? I got a Dalek cake, double physics was unusually bearable that day and the party was fucking A
