goingtopieces replied to your post: no one will buy me ice cream
I would buy you ice cream if I could :(
that would be heavenly, thanks for the thought at least :) i found some chocolate granola bars i hadn't finished off yet, and i think i'll be able to make due with the pilfered chocolate chips, even if they're not as good as chocolate ice cream
I'm going to try and make this difficult! But I'll probably fail. Five Facts Are: 1. Their job is cool 2. Their mother is a bad ass 3. They cook 4. They play games often 5. They went to a horrible school.
Ooh, ooh, is it:

I was honestly lost until #5 - for some reason 'went to a horrible school' makes me think of Arthur, and everything else checked out!
Rule 1 - Post the rules.
Rule 2 - Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make 11 new ones
Rule 3 - Tag 11 people and link them to your post.
Rule 4 - Let them know you have tagged them.
Rule 5 - Tell the person who tagged you that you completed it!
w00t so this happened again! Posting my answers under the cut.
What is your worst pet peeve?
Chewing gum. I can't stand it. Especially when people can't keep their mouth closed to I have to listen to it (but protip: my ears are pretty good so I can usually hear it even if peoples' mouths are closed). But also just watching someone's jaw working up and down constantly for twenty minutes? I get distracted by the littlest things, I know, but still.
What is the weirdest couple you ship?
Does Doctor and TARDIS count? Because they are my Doctor Who OTP and they are perfect together one is an alien who runs around doing nonsense and saving people and the other is a sentient spaceship who flies him around and helps out and occasionally knocks sense into him. Sometimes I don't think people acknowledge how weird and wonderful this show is.
First fandom you ever joined? (if it’s Harry Potter, then what’s the second?)
Haha you totally got me right? So yes, Harry Potter, first fandom, but the second, oddly and obscurely enough, was Inkheart. I loved those books by Cornelia Funke, and sometime in middle school I found a fan forum for the series. At the time only two books were out, and I remember spending the summer geeking out with these girls online, roleplaying and such. In fact, I think most of what we did was roleplay - each of our 'characters' were really ourselves, and we all met up and got lost with the book characters and such. Good times... wow, if I could ever find those people again, that would be amazing. I'm sure they all have fandom tumblrs now!
What would you do if you had £1 million?
Well, first I'd fly to the British Isles so I could use it. I mean sure, I could exchange it for US dollars, but why do that when I have the perfect excuse to fly to Britain? In fact, I'd probably just spend most of it traveling (after buying a ton of useless fandom merchandise because obviously). Then I'd have to donate the obligatory 25% to charity, and I'd spend a month trying to decide on a charity.
What is your most prized possession and why?
This is actually a really difficult question. There's really no 'thing' I feel like I couldn't go without, and it's probably too cheesy to say something like 'my body' or 'my mind' or 'my eyes'. So maybe my writing? My ability to write and communicate? That, technically, is a thing that I possess.
Favourite flavour of ice cream?
Chocolate. The chocolate flavor, which has chocolate in it. If there are little chocolate brownie pieces in it, that's good too, or fudgy bits maybe?
What is the best part of the day?
Whenever it is that I don't have anything to do and it's good. Some days that's the mornings, after I've woken up but I don't have to immediately go to school or something. Sometimes it's the afternoons, but sometimes I get so bored and it's bad. I would have wanted to say nights, but nights are usually be hectically preparing for tomorrow or screwing around and wasting time (like this whole week!)
What is your TV guilty pleasure?
I want to say How I Met Your Mother, because it's totally not the type of show I'd usually watch and yet I'm highly enjoying it. But I also want to say Earth's Mightiest Heroes because SUPERHERO CARTOON I don't care how silly it is it's also WONDERFUL.
How did Pandas get the black fur?
Ancient Chinese artists who ran out of ricepaper to paint on and had to resort to the fur of the plentiful white beasts. Also fur gives the paintings an interesting texture and you know artsy types are all about finding interesting textures to do artsy things with.
Stephen Fry: national treasure or not?
Heck yes. Stephen Fry is a gem of the world, and the fact that the Brits have him is a testament to their undeniable right to control it all.
Which was your favourite question from the above?
I think that thing with the pandas. That was kind of unexpected and so was my answer.
So instead of cheesing out this time I'm actually going to write new questions (and 11 of them) and tag new people, but of course you don't have to actually do it because I'm a nice person and wont unfollow you if you're busy.
My Questions:
Most recent new book/TV show/movie you've read/seen?
Something you should be doing right now but aren't because let's face it Tumblr is more interesting?
Hobby or skill you wish you had?
Most recent fandom joined (or a fandom you were already a part of, but recently got more interested in)?
Any non-standard ships for any fandom, or ships that you don't see many other people sailing on?
Excluding all housepets and major fandom icons, what is your next favorite obscure animal?
Random quote you have memorized (from anything/anyone)?
Favorite thing about the view from a window in your home?
Are there any obscure questions you've always wished people would ask you, and if so what's the answer (I'm seriously running out of ideas here)?
A funny story about a recent text/phone call/email/etc.?
Can you confirm that Antarctica is an amazing place and that people who would rather go to Australia are ridiculous and silly?
(LOOK I actually remembered to write all 11 this time yay!)
Tagging: Taylor, Abby, Chloe, Joseph, Kristen, Samantha, Lindsey, Angela, Grace, Katie (Funny thing Katie - I tend to forget that you're actually following me until I go to check my mutual followers and see you there), and Mariana (tagging you back so you have to answer my questions bwahahaha).
