15, 29, 89, 91 for the asks!

Thank you for asking!

15: Can you text as quickly with one hand as you do both?

No, sadly I cannot do this. Maybe because I don’t use my phone much, only if I have to (I really don’t like to use it).

29: Do you have a best friend?

Yes. Fortunately I have. I even dare to say that I have two best-friends. I wouldn’t want to change them for anything.

89: Do you cook?

No. Unfortunately I cannot. I wish I could, though.

91: If you’re single right now, do you wish you were in a relationship?

I am single and… it’s complicated I think. On one hand I would love to be in a relationship (the one that would end up with marriage and would love to spend the rest of my/their life with them) because I think that deep down everyone wants to have some to love, but on the other… If I’m to enter a relationship, I would want it to be serious. I’m not - and never have been - this type of person who would date the first person I meet. Does it make sense?

Book asks: 6, 15!

6 - what books have you read in the last month?

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, and a whole buttload of free comics on the Marvel Comics app. i’m also halfway through Vicious by V. E. Schwab which I’m quite liking. and i’ve started like 5 other books that might take me weeks to finish but we’ll see

15 - recommend and review a book

i’ve never tried to properly review a book before so this may not turn out very well but to make up for that i shall recommend TWO books!

Lost at Sea - Bryan Lee O’Malley

The back of this graphic novel says, “If you’ve ever been eighteen, or confused, or both, maybe you should read this book”, and as a former confused eighteen year old (and a currently-confused nineteen year old) I second the fuck out of that. It’s a simple story involving a narrator whose soul was possibly stolen by a cat and an unexpected road trip which is one of the major reasons why i like it so much idk what it is about me and road trips flkfsdnl and it’s just written in a way that feels so familiar -- the dull reminiscence and thoughts that are all over the place feels like an intimate diary entry. While it reminds you of the feelings of emptiness with all the wading through the confusion it still manages to give you the perfect amount of hopefulness by the end.

Station Eleven - Emily St John Mandel

There’s not much I can write about this because I just can’t explain my love for it in words; it’s just so damn beautiful. This novel is about an apocalyptic event, but it’s character-focused: it explores these characters and their relationships leading up to the event and after it. I adore the writing style -- there aren’t any single quotable sentences I could just pull out to prove the beauty of it. Instead, there are whole paragraphs or a whole page or whole chapters that culminate and you end up having to sit back and digest it because you just love the way the words and emotions were crafted together. it’s so good lol.

send me some book asks!

Rules: Answer the questions, tag some people, and write your own questions. I was tagged by a fantastic lady: @historian-in-pearls. Thank you so much (and I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get to this)!

1.) What book, movie, and album (1 of each) would you bring to a desert island? That’s very difficult. I would probably bring the Bible as my book, because it’s long and I would have a lot of time to really ponder it and better understand it. My album would be by Casting Crowns; I’m not sure which one, but definitely one of them. My movie... no idea. Can’t really think of a movie off the top of my head.

2.) What’s your favorite smell? We have a wooden box in my house where we keep all of our essential oils. When you open the box, the air and wood inside are just saturated with the bits of scent that have leaked out of all the bottles. It probably sounds like it would smell really gross, but it’s actually a really lovely smell.

3.) Any routines before you go to sleep? Kind of. I generally try to get into bed, do whatever final junk on my phone I want to do, put down my phone, take my sleeping medication, and then read until I feel the meds kicking in.

4.) Are you a sock, shoe, sock, shoe, or sock, sock, shoe, shoe person? Sock, sock, shoe, shoe. Without a doubt. It would honestly bother me to be uneven with one sock and shoe on with the other foot barefoot; I don’t even like to have one sock and one bear foot. I would feel this way regardless, but this is especially due to the fact that I don’t wear shoes in houses.

5.) What are you most excited for in the upcoming month? Honestly? Nothing.

6.) What item in your closet most encapsulates your style? My jeans. Jeans are the most versatile item in most closets, and that encapsulates my “style” because I don’t really have a style... I just wear whatever and it doesn’t really make sense as a “style,” but it makes sense for me.

7.) What was your best birthday and why? My best birthday was probably my 16th birthday. We went all out and had a Harry Potter themed party. People dressed up and we decorated. My mom made all kinds of food from the books and we even printed up some spellbooks and things we found online. It was a really cool event.

8.) How did you choose your career/course of study? I kind of fell into it. I’m currently a chemistry student. I took chemistry in high school, and when my depression/anxiety were getting extra severe, there were two places I felt safe: my vice-principal’s office (which he gave me almost completely unbarred access to for two years) and the chemistry room. I really like the chemistry teacher, and I found it very calming to sit in the back of the class and learn the chemistry. I’d do chemistry problems when I was overwhelmed because they made sense, and that made me feel better when the world was crashing around me. When picking classes for college as a freshman, it was natural for me to take chemistry; I needed a couple science classes, and I liked chemistry. Then I just sort of kept taking the chemistry classes. I don’t know, at this point, if it was really the right decision for me, but that’s how I ended up where I am.

9.) Favorite city you’ve ever been to? Basically any city/town in Ireland. I have a lot of extended family in Ireland, and I traveled there when I was 12 and got to meet many of them. Everyone in Ireland is so kind and caring and just wants to help you out. Ireland is beautiful. Just stick me in Ireland and I’m good.

10.) What one piece of wisdom would you pass down to your younger self? I’d tell her to hold tight to her Catholic faith, because it’s the one thing that’ll stay steady for her.

My questions:

1. What did you want to be when you grew up? 2. How do you feel about the direction the world is moving? 3. What experiences have either grown your passion or built your distaste for reading? 4. What is your favorite color? 5. If there was literally nothing that could hold you back, what kind of career would you like to pursue? 6. How do you feel about your family? 7. Tell me about a defining moment that has made you who you are today. 8. What is something you wish to improve about yourself? 9. What is a quote that has gotten you though a hard time? 10. What calms you?
