I was tagged!

I was just tagged by Chandler, whose blog is http://dreamsofromance.tumblr.com/. She's so lovely and her blog is ethereal with an edge and so worth the follow. Thanks for this lovely! Questions: 1) What are you listening to right now? The Pretty Reckless. I know, I know, Taylor Momsen with the panda eyes, but I've been watching AHS: Coven and she speaks to me on a bitchcraft level. 2) What’s your favorite word? This is a mean question. I have spent the last 10 minutes debating this with myself and I have nothing. I can't do this. You can have a list of some favourites: blissful, melancholy, demure, effervescent, labyrinthine, mellifluous, serendipity, sublime and eternal. I know I'm missing words though. This was a cruel question. I love that word too. Cruel. It even sounds wicked. 3) What was the last thing that made you laugh so hard you cried? This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKfPMK7ibYo I'm laughing my head off watching it again. 4) When was the last time you were truly happy? My brother was a sweetheart for my birthday last week, he even left me a surprise present under my bed for me to find when he left. And he wrote the sweetest message in the card. My brother doesn't do shit like that, so it was pretty special and I was pretty happy. 5) What is your favorite quote? "For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." - F. Scott Fitzgerald 6) What is your favorite meal? Mac and cheese. Or chocolate anything. 7) Do you prefer to dance or sing? Both. But I'm a singer first, dancer second. 8) What was the last movie you watched and loved? The Secret Life of Bees. The book is excellent. The movie is excellent. This rarely happens. I like that word too, add rare to my favourite words list. 9) What was the last song you obsessively listened to over and over again? Ride by Lana Del Ray. Or Beyonce's whole last album 10) Where was the last place you vacationed? Europe! Christmas 2012 - such a long time ago :'( BUT I go on vacation again in 5 weeks and I'm going to DISNEY WORLD!! WOOOOOOOO!! 11) If you could do one thing right now, what would it be? Speed up Disneyworld so it was here and now, the apprehension is killing me. I'm not very patient... I have no questions, because I'm lazy and its bed time, but thank you again for this Chandler! You ask tough questions though :P One last time ---> check out her blog http://dreamsofromance.tumblr.com/
