Rule 4: Let them know you've tagged them.
1. What actor/actress would you want to date if you could and why?
I guess it's a cliche for a female tumblr user, but I would have to say Tom Hiddleston. Not only is he gorgeous, he seems like such a genuinely nice and decent human being. He's also intelligent and always makes time for his fans. So, even though Tom Hiddleston is a typical tumblr answer, he really is my greatest celebrity crush. Granted, there are so many others I think are hot (Karen Gillan, Christopher Eccleston, Scarlett Johansson, etc.), but I don't know if I'd necessarily want to date them. Though, not gonna lie, I'd definitely try for Christopher Eccleston as well. I've got a ridiculously massive crush on him too.
2. What 3 songs mean the most to you and why?
This is a toughie because my favorite songs switch all the time depending on my mood. Very few consistently, every time I listen to them, mean the most to me.
The first is "Let Me Be Your Armor" by Assemblage 23. This song just hits me hard. I don't know what it is. Maybe I just want someone to feel this way about me. IDK, because if someone tried to tell me stuff like this IRL, I probably wouldn't take them seriously (I don't believe anything romantic. I'm not a romantic in reality). But maybe if the right person said I would believe them. I don't know. But, then again, I want to be like this for someone too. I've felt like this toward one person, the only person I've ever been in love with and seen myself in a future with, so this song makes me think about them sometimes. I'm really not explaining this well haha
The second would be "In My Mind" by Amanda Palmer (with Brian Viglione). This song just sums up one of the mindsets I've been in for the past few months. I don't even know what else to say about it. I listen to it when I start to feel down on myself and it actually makes me look forward to the future. It also reminds me that I'm fucking awesome the way I am and that I actually do like myself.
For the last one, I'm going to lump together a bunch of Ashbury Heights songs because I couldn't pick haha. Funnily enough, they're all from the same album as well. The first is "Anti-Ordinary" because that's pretty much my theme song haha. "Beautiful Scum" has been really pertinent to me lately. I feel like it sums up where I am in life really well. Particularly the lyrics "A self-made Peter Pan/Burdened by the shadow of a man/More a Hook each passing day/As I claw my way with a pencil blade" Though I am a woman, I'm still going through the process of becoming a full adult (I turn 20 a week from tomorrow). I feel like I keep clinging to nostalgia and to my past and fun stuff but I still see the close future where I have to grow up a bit and become a functioning adult. The final song I'm going to put here is "Invisible Man." I don't even know how to describe what this song makes me feel. It's kinda complicated =/
3. What is the one thing you could change about yourself?
This is super tough as well =/ I guess I wish I would follow through with my plans. I have so many stories for short films and for novels, but I never actually finish any. I may start some, write a script or some scenes, but I haven't completed a personal project in a long time.
4. What is one thing you're really proud about yourself?
I would like to say my level-headedness. I am awesome under pressure and in a crisis. I don't get carried away. I mean, yes, I'll have fangirly moments, but when it comes down to real things, I don't get carried away by emotions.
5. What book would you recommend everyone to read?
So many books!!! How am I supposed to narrow it down?! Anything by Neil Gaiman, though I'm quite partial to Coraline, the Graveyard Book, and American Gods/Anansi Boys. Also, any Ray Bradbury, because he has always been one of my top writers. His passing killed me.
6. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for?
Ummmm, this is really tough. I hate questions like this because I really don't know what I would answer =/ I guess I would wish for a steady stream of cash, so I could finance my movies and not have to worry about going broke. Plus I could buy all the books, movies, music, and video games I want haha. And help people, of course. I'm not completely heartless haha. I would wish for something for the world, like world peace or an end to world hunger. I don't know what else I would wish for. I'd probably use the last wish to do more to help people. Literally, the thing that I hate the most is seeing people suffer. Quite honestly, I wish I could help everyone in the world.
7. If a zombie apocalypse would happen, which fictional characters would you want to be your allies and why.
Kurt Wagner, because we'd probably end up deliriously in love. Haha I'm only half-kidding. He'd be good because he can hide in the shadows, has a prehensile tail, can sword fight (kills the zombies quietly without attracting others by the sounds of gunfire), and can teleport. Plus, he's funny and cheerful and would be good for morale.
I'd also want a samurai of some sort around. Jonah Ray made good points about why a katana is the weapon of choice for fighting zombies.
I'm not sure of anyone else in particular I'd want. Maybe Hermione Granger. She's got awesome magic skills and her bag is bigger on the inside.
I guess the last one I would know for sure would be the Doctor, but I feel like he's cheating because he could whisk us all away to another planet or time to start a new life and we wouldn't actually have to deal with the zombies.
8. If you could only eat one snack for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Oh, kill me now! How do I pick? And what counts as a snack? I guess it would have to be either cookies, no, BROWNIES or sour cream and onion potato chips. Those are both my kryptonite and Achilles heels. If they are in the house, I will eat them all. I lose all self control when it comes to those chips and brownies.
9. What is one thing you've always wanted to know more about?
This is a really interesting question! I guess I would have to say, and this may be cheating, how things work. Unfortunately, whenever I try to learn science, or about cars, or about technical stuff, I find it absolutely fascinating but it doesn't stick with me. Take my zoology class, for example. I loved learning about the structures inside of animals, what made them the way they were, what the purposes of certain bones or muscles were, but I was never able to hold on to all that information.
10. What show is really popular that you just don't seem to like?
There's actually a bunch, but I'll only list a few. I can't stand Adventure Time or Gravity Falls. I also really don't like Modern Family. I'm also not a My Little Pony fan.
11. What does Tumblr mean to you?
Tumblr has been my refuge and my sanctuary. Seriously, I've met so many awesome people on here who are so supportive and kind. I love virtually hanging out with people who share my interests, who offer me advice and who put up when I'm nosy and offer unsolicited advice haha. The really tough times have been so much easier with the support of my tumblr buddies. You guys have seriously helped me through some shit and you make me laugh.
