I was tagged by Meg to do this thing so yeah (under a read more because it's a long post!)

Rule 1: Always post the rules. Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones. Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post. Rule 4: Actually tell them you tagged them.

What’s your favourite colour? Blue

Why is it your favourite colour? It's pretty/calming 

"I do think it’s your job as a writer to say something about the world. Why else are you writing?" If you write/otherwise create, answer the question. If you don’t, discuss. I don't write, but I do read. I read a lot of different types of material and my favourite ones always make me view the world in a different way or give me something to think about that I might not have done before. So I guess there is some truth in that. 

What’s the snobbiest thing you’ve ever said or done? If you still can’t think of anything, what’s the snobbiest thing you’ve ever thought? I don't really know what we're defining as 'snobbiest' here. Um. The main thing that springs to mind is that I would rather stand up than sit next to someone on public transport I guess that's snobby? Idk 

"I should be myself. But everyone has a lot of different selves." Tell me some of the differences between yours. Online (in videos)/if it's the first time you've met me I don't swear. If we're friends I swear like a sailor. It's really bad, I know

Of the things you don’t mention on your blog, how many are you actively hiding things from the internet, and how many are just not interesting/relevant? I don't like swearing online because it feels more preserved than swearing irl. Idk but whatever

Define friendship in three sentences or fewer. Shared interests to bond over with a mutual respect for differences between the two parties. Also the ability to laugh with and at each other. 

"Maybe the bottom line is, I just care about myself. But doesn’t everyone?" Do you? Yeah. I hope so. 

Instant mastery of one language: which one would you pick and why? Spanish because it's a beautiful language and useful too.

What’s your favourite thing about cats? e v e r y t h i n g 

What should I do for my last week of lessons? No, seriously, I have ideas but I'm not really enamoured of any of them, so I’d be very grateful for any suggestions. Show the kids some English TV shows or adverts or something. Find differences. Alternatively, cancel all lessons and take them on a field trip.

My questions:

1. What is your biggest fear?

Umm, that would either be being alone or becoming an ordinary person with an ordinary life- I just can't face the idea of it.

2. If you could choose where you live, where would you go?

As long as I'm surrounded by the people I love, it doesn't really matter (cheesy I know, but meh)

3. How did you pick you URL?

Well, my friend didn't know what my username on Fanfiction.net was, and had seen the name Charlock221bBakerStreet or something like that, and had thought it was me. I liked the name, so I kinda nicked the idea and became Charlock221b.

4.What is/was your favourite subject at school?

It's a choice of three really- Drama, English or History

5. With whom do you most like to spend your time?

With my friends, especially Molly, Ash (fuck-etiquette), Naomi (frozen-eyeballs-and-microscopes) and Emily (lorganleman)

6.When did you get up today?

Well, I woke up at about 9, but I didn't get UP until 12.45?

7. On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you right now?

Bout 7?? Happy enough.

8. What's your favourite band? And your favourite song by them?

Oh, my favourite band changes. A LOT. But at the moment I like Biffy Clyro, and my favourite song by them, I think, is The Captain.

9. Coke or Lemonade?

This sounds weird, but when I'm out, like in a restaurant, I like Lemonade, but at home it's always Coke.

10. What is your favourite childhood memory?

I don't know. There is one fond memory, and that is of my, my brother and my sister in the kitchen of our old house with my brothers carer, and it's pancake day. She's flipping the pancakes, and she goes to do a big flip and it falls on the floor, so she gives it to me in my little toy pan to flip. I just remember it being nice.

11. What colour are your bedsheets?

Blue and white.

And my questions are......:

1. Do you have any pets? 

2. Are you going on/have you been on holiday this year? If so, where?

3. If you could have 3 wishes from a genie, what would they be (and don't say more wishes/more genies!)

4. What's your favourite book?

5. How old are you?

6. Do you have a middle name? If so what is it?

7. What is you favourite musical (if you like them)?

8. What's your favourite colour?

9. Who is your favourite actor/actress?

10. If you had a child, what would you call them?

[bookopinions]

i recommend Divergent by Veronica Roth. It's a great dystopic novel for young adults and also one of my favourite books :)

Edit from the blogger:

I'll definitely add it to my list to read! If I can find some time in California during Christmas Break, I'll read it! (Because, no doubt, one [if not more] of my family members is bound to get me a gift card to Barnes and Nobles

Thanks for the suggestion!

If you like Dystopic novels, The Forest of Hands and Teeth is a really good one! (I guess it's a series now; who knew!). It's by Carrie Ryan. Apocolyptic-type of book, but I didn't really realize that until I finished reading it, hahaha. But anyways, fantastic book, and a fantastic author. I was captivated since I first saw the cover and title!

M: Random fact about me

a random fact about me is that i just sat here for about twenty minutes in the dark because my dad turned off my light to annoy me but i realised that my christmas lights are bright enough to type by.

H. If it meant it would solve all world hunger, war, disease and bigotry, would you spend the rest of eternity in Hell?

ooh ooh ooh ooh um

I honestly think it would depend on how old I was when I made this decision and if I had someone else living on Earth I wanted to invest in - like a child.

Right now in my life, no. At some other point in life, possibly.
