Five things you’ll find in my handbag/bag:
My phone (if it’s not in my pocket or on the charger)
Accidentally abandoned, crumpled receipts
Five things you’ll find in my room:
My Harry Potter/Gringotts money box my Nana gave me when I was 7
A wooden pencil case that the lid is slightly too big for, that I made at technicraft in Year 7 (When I was 11 going on 12)
A hot pink Nintendo DS Lite, which I lost the charger for a couple of years ago, so I’ve only been able to play it a couple of times since, in short bursts
A mini plush of a character called Spottywot, from an NZ kids TV show called The WotWots, which I bought on the Weta Workshop tour when I went with my Dad back in February
Five things I’ve always wanted to do in life:
Learn to play an instrument - and be good at it, and enjoy playing it! (I DID take piano lessons for several years, and I was okay I guess, but I wasn’t GOOD, and I never particularly ENJOYED it)
Find a message in a bottle (I’ll admit I’m kinda stuck on this bit, so searched ‘bucket list ideas’ to see if it’ll spark my memory, remembered this)
Come up with a concept for/write a successful video game
ICE SKATE!!! I’ve always wanted to try ice-skating, but never have!! (The closest I’ve gotten was rollerblading)
Have a piece of work that I’m really proud of be published
Five things that make me happy:
As cliche as it sounds, my friends. My friends honestly make me so, so happy.
Coming up with good ideas (especially ones that other people like too!)
Getting things done/following through with stuff! It sadly doesn’t happen as often as I might like it to, but when it does happen, it’s brilliant.
Five things I’m currently into:
This Match 3 game called Jelly Collapse - it’s so addictive!! It automatically saves your progress, so I’ve been playing it for a few days and I’m currently on Level 60 :P
Bastille’s ‘Wild World’ - such a good album!!
If they count, my new-ish over-the-ear headphones - I really like them, they’re great!!
There’s this website called Internet Archive, and it has an online archive of old MS DOS games (which I actually used to play in the mid 2000s, rather than early 90s, as my Mum had a computer that ran on Windows 98 till 2009), and it has some of my old favourites that I thought I wouldn’t be able to play anymore!! So happy I found it.
My Mum and Nana went to the supermarket yesterday, and one of the things Nana brought back was a tube of Pringles - but this was no ordinary tube of Pringles. Normally in NZ we tend to just have “regular” flavours like plain, sour cream and chives, chicken I think, things like that - but apparently the supermarket’s started stocking some flavours you could only previously get overseas, as yesterday she brought back a tube of CHEESEBURGER flavoured Pringles!! I had heard about these and was definitely interested in trying them - and I actually really liked them!! Really tasty!! (It’s still so weird to me though, they DO really taste like cheeseburger O.o )
Five things on my to-do list:
Apply for an 18+ card (I haven’t really needed one since I don’t drink, but I’ve gone to a few 18+ gigs and have had to use my passport as ID)
Keep going with and complete my FutureLearn course
Study the booklet I got from the first aid course I did this month, to retake it in November, so I can pass.
Get all the way through a Nancy Drew game without the help of walkthroughs, and without any family or friend help. Just relying entirely on myself. (The only time I’ve managed to get through one without a walkthrough was with Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, and even then that was several years later, with help from my tutor and my sister)
Five things people may not know about me:
I didn’t actually walk until I the year I turned three (the day my sister was born, actually! Up until then I hadn’t walked, and so my family jokes I suddenly decided to start walking because my sister was the centre of attention all of a sudden XD )
I went on the Great Wall of China when I was little, with my parents - Have a certificate commemorating it and everything! (As far as I can remember, I think it was on the 28th of October 1996)
I repeated my final year of high school (some of you will know that, others won’t)
Until I was about 15, I used to get Mandy Moore (an American actress) and Missy Higgins (an Australian singer) mixed up (I blame it on a magazine I read when I was younger that for some reason I seem to remember calling Mandy ‘an Australian treasure’?! the fact that they looked quite similar (at least to younger me), and their first names both started and ended with the same letters)
I like putting tomato sauce/ketchup on macaroni cheese. So many people seem to think it’s weird (my mother included), but oh well :P
