eveningisgrey replied to your post “To all my english speakers. Do you use expression ‘To keep one’s eye...”

Yes, we do. It sort of means 'stay alert' or 'pay close attention to something'. Hope I helped!

Thank you very much! My texbook give a completely different meaning tho, so I decided to check.

Rules: Repost and tag like 10 people you would like to get to know better.

Nicknames: Alex. Middle name’s Alexandra, but to be honest, I use it only seldom, and respond to it much less often.

Gender: Female

Current time and date: 12:18pm, May 13, 2015

Birthday: November 11

Average amount of sleep: Er ... 6 hours? 7? My sleep schedule is all over the place.

Lucky number: ?

Last thing I Googled: Um, lessee. Restriction endonucleases. Was revising for an exam.

First word that comes to mind: Bicycle

One place that makes you happy: Right now, after a grueling couple of days, I’d say my bed.

Favourite characters: Silm characters? Or fictional characters in general? I’ll go with a mix of both. Maedhros, Sauron, Hamlet, Erik (The Phantom of the Opera). Yeah, that should do.

Favourite food: Mmm a couple of days ago I had fettuccine alfredo with broccoli, and it was divine. I think it would work wonderfully well with salmon too.

Favourite drink: Am pretty certain I answered with something vaguely alcoholic last time. I’ll go with coffee this time around. Which is an absolute life-saver.

Favourite book: The Silmarillion, but literally everyone already knows that. Might have something to do with the fact that I never shut up about it. Other notable favorites include The Book Thief, which comes complete with soul-shredding abilities. Am currently reading American Gods, which has been awesome so far. Northanger Abbey. I’m terrible at this. Can’t choose, so I’ll stop here.

Favourite TV show(s): Don’t really watch TV.

Last movie I saw in the theatre: I can’t remember. Cinderella? I went with a friend and her little brother.

Last holiday: Istanbul, Turkey

Dream holiday: Egypt. Have always wanted to see the pyramids.

Dream wedding: Marriage really isn’t something I plan to partake in anytime soon.

Dream job(s): Writer, but as that’s unlikely to happen, I’ll go with therapist. Or immersing myself in academia and taking on research projects. That would be nice too.

Zodiac: Scorpio

Myers-Briggs: Hmm ... I took it once, ages ago, and chances are I’d get a different result now, but if I’m not mistaken, I think it was INTJ. I think.

Relationship status: Single

What are you wearing: PJs

Not tagging anyone this time around, but if any of you feel like giving this a shot, go right ahead! :D

reaction when i see your url: i keep misreading it as brawl dog😅
