Tagged by VDK - on the contrary, I really did appreciate this. I'd tag you, and two others you mentioned since I see them on my blog often too, but that's counter-productive so I'm finding new faces to pass this on.
Rule 2: Answer the 11 questions and then make 11 of your own
Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post
Rule 4: Let them know they were tagged
1. If you could spend a day with any celebrity, who would it be?
First question and I’m having a mental argument with myself. From quickly glancing at the other questions, my love for Emilia Clarke will become worryingly apparent. So…probably Emilia, if only for the day. Though I’d love to chill with JGL or someone from a TV show…I bet Misha Collins would be hilarious.
PS. Forgot Grey DeLisle, until I thought about tagging her for it. So Grey, I want to spend a day with you too!
2. If you could live in any fictional world, which would you choose?
I’m immediately drawn to say ‘Westeros’ but realistically that would probably be horrible, unless (of course) I’m living with Dany and her dragons. So then I think about what/who I’d fancy being around from the fictional worlds I know of – honestly TMI sounds fucking awesome from what I’ve read in summary of the books. I still need to actually read them though, so I feel like I’m cheating if I say that. So I’ll look at TV shows and stuff instead. SPN would be shit because I’d be dead before I finish writing this post. Then I think about Arrow and the penny drops. Dude, I want to live in a superhero world…either Marvel or DC I’m not too fussed. But that would be epic.
PS. Living on Pandora with a group of Vault Hunters would be absolutely sweet – I’m on a BL binge these days. But I’d want some cool action skill…or just be able to speak fluently in Haiku’s like Zer0.
PSS. For serious I forgot Star Wars until the last question but wow. That would be fucking awesome + I am a Jedi.
PSSS. Forgot Avatar till i decided I might as well try to pass this on to The Queen I mean Grey DeLisle. But Avatar would be wicked, as long as I was a bender. Or ya'know, an Avatar.
3. What would you do if you found out a supposedly fictional story was real and happening in our world?
This really depends which story is happening. Like Pacific Rim is reality, well shit, we’re all screwed. Again this sort of relates to Q2 for me, since if It’s happening in my world, I’m living in it…so…Dany and her dragons? I’m kidding. Probably superheroes again really. Though that would be accompanied by super villains too.
4. If you have the ability to look into the future, would you try to change what you saw, and risk the consequences?
To me, I’m thinking “So if I cheat on the lottery, world war 3 begins…if I take a left turn instead of the right one, will my best friend have a car crash that evening. If I could get away with it (relatively) unscathed, I think I’d go and take a look…but the risks otherwise seem too high.
5. What is the farthest from home you’ve ever gone?
Alone – Spain (Next stop, America)
With School – Italy or Germany.
With family – Either Orlando or South Africa. Don’t know off the top of my head which is further and I’m too lazy to google.
6. If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be?
If South Africa wasn’t so bloody dangerous, and I had enough money to live lavishly, I would pack my things and live out on the coast in Cape Town. Some family have an apartment there and it was probably the nicest view on a morning with the seafront and all that, and in the evening having a braai.
Weirdly enough though, I am quite a fan of the home comforts…England, as much as the weather sucks, is home. It’s where I feel very comfortable and safe etc. So England works too for me. Not sure I can handle the heat anyway…
7. What would you do to change the world and make it better?
Cure cancer? Eradicate poverty? Fix the world all over?
Write a book that changes someone’s perspective on life, for the better. If that qualifies as improving the world, then that’s what I’d love to one day say I’ve done.
8. Who do you aspire to be most like?
My Dad perhaps? He’s one of the smartest, most hard working individuals I think I’ll ever know. And he’s a great Father, and a great person – something I’d like to emulate one day.
9. You can choose between knowledge or love. Which do you pick?
Knowing what though? The secret to all life? The trick to knowing how to love? Knowing everything, ever? That’s too open.
Love is by no means simple, but true love vs absolute knowledge almost seems like a no brainer…ironically.
10. For writing, do you prefer notebooks or computer documents, and why?
To actually write, I much prefer my laptop, simply because it is quicker and I can effectively erase mistakes with a few key taps.
To plan and brainstorm I’ve been using my Moleskin recently, and I found being away from technology and just focused helps a great deal to draw ideas together and all that.
11. You can bring characters to life. Who would you bring to life, and why?
Dany plz. No explanation really needed because nothing else matters anymore because Dany.
I feel like she really narrows my thoughts though, so pretending she isn’t an option, a fictional character…my mind immediately jumps to the female characters I’ve fallen in love with recently aka Alaska – really would bring her to life…*sad cries*
I’m thinking like, who would be a wicked friend to have…Klaus to be your buddy?
Then I realise the potential to fulfil my lifetime ambition to have a Wookie companion, or failing that, an Ewok.
1) Which song lyrics hold the most meaning for you, and why?
2) Fictional creature (from mythology or more modern day fiction i.e. a book series or whatever) you want to be real.
3) Real animal you would want as a pet which isn’t conventionally domesticated…example being a Lion or a Rhino.
4) You can have any amount of money you want, but for every unit of currency you gain, one person randomly dies in the world, instantly and painlessly, but it could be your best friend or a total stranger. How much do you take?
5) A person is sat opposite you in a room. Their identity is completely hidden, with their head covered and their body bound to a chair, with no means to communicate. Before you is a table, with a loaded gun and a message saying if you pull the trigger you will be paid an eight figure sum. The alternative is to let them go free, whereupon you receive absolutely nothing. No strings attached to either option. What do you do?
6) What is your favourite colour, and why is it your favourite colour?
7) If a fictional character could be your best friend, but not a romantic interest…who would you summon to reality, and would it change if they lost any sort of abilities? Example: A vampire is instead just their human self, or a superhero loses their superpowers.
8) You have the opportunity to travel back in time to a point of your choosing and live from there, while knowing what you do now. When, where, why, all the usual questions really.
9) You can solve the energy crisis, solve the economy issues of the world, negotiate a global peace treaty, or develop cures and vaccines for all known types and variations of disease.
Your choice will only stand for the next century i.e. the peace treaty will cease in 2113. Pick one.
10) Abolish a genre of music. Do it.
11) You are dead. You are probably in heaven but might be chilling with Lucifer cos he’s pretty cool too. You’re now able to reflect a lot on life and stuff. What would you want to have accomplished that would constitute living a life you’re proud of and happy with?
