I really like you blog. Wish there were more people like you on here. I cant stand any of the girls on this website except for you. Everyone is so vain and annoying but you seem real. Keep up the good work. lol

I suppose this was intended as a compliment, but truth betold I have never been fond of flattery that comes at the expense of another… Especiallygiven you could not be more wrong. There’s no shortage of wonderful,courageous, lovely, refreshing, real womenon this site. Too many for me to namein one post,  but provided you strike meas the type that needs sufficient evidence to validate any opinion contrary tohis or her own, I encourage you to check out some of my select ladies:

ladyofanaturalstate is the Ann Perkins to my Leslie Knope. She is caringand consistent; a genuine and gracious soul (with a killer taste in tunes Imight add). She is a beautiful tropical fish and you simply cannot help but fallin love with her.  

takemetomountains is pure poetry. The girl is art. She is inspiringand interesting and beautiful. I revel in the opportunity to meet this radchick someday (soon, hopefully).

thewholesomehandbook is the personification of the earth’sgoodness. She is as fierce as she is tenderhearted. She is as pure as a breathof fresh air.

foxesandaisies reminds me of my very best friend. One ofmy soul sisters. If that isn’t a compliment of the highest quality, I don’tknow what is.

moonandtrees offers me great comfort. I could livehappily, peacefully, and contentedly within the cozy confines of her blog ifsuch a thing were possible.

Other lovely ladies include thesoutherly, abrittann, natashakills…I could go on and on and on… but I will stop here. 

Seriously, go. Follow them. Now.

I was tagged by uttterly to answer these questions! xx 

Rule 1: Always post the rules.

Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked, then write 11 new ones.

Rule 3: Tag 11 people then link them in the post.

Rule 4: Tell them you tagged them.

1. What’s your dream job?

It is and will always be to be an author! I'm actually writing a book right now, so... let's see if I can make it happen :)

2. Would you prefer a road trip full of adventures or rather spending few days in some 5* hotel by the swimming pool? 

Most definitely a road trip. No doubt about it. I've grown up in a small, hippie town, where going on adventurous road trips is much more common than chilling by a pool. I've gone on quite a few, and they hold some of my best memories. 

3. If you could do anything you wanted right now, what would it be?

Hmm. To be honest, I'm really content with what I'm doing in this very moment. It sounds boring- but today is an incredibly peaceful day. The rain is pouring outside, and I'm snuggled up in my room with a candle lit and an array of books to read. This is the definition of my perfect kind of day, and I don't think I'd like to be doing anything else :) 

4. If you could go anywhere you wanted right now, where would you go?

Okay, okay, if I HAD to leave my warm and cozy room right now... I would go to Hogwarts. Obviously. 

5. Favourite city in your country?

I really want to say New York City, but I've never actually been there. So I suppose I'd have to say San Francisco, since it's my favorite California city. I am not fond of LA.  

6. Are you a dog or a cat person? Do you have your own pet?

CATS. I'm only nineteen and I'm practically an old cat lady already. Being an introvert, I think it makes sense that I prefer cats. They aren't too much energy, they are easy to take care of, and they are adorable. I have two dogs and two cats, but I pretty much leave any dog responsibilities to my brothers. My cats are Persian cats, so they are the fluffy ones with the squished faces. They are quite comical, so if you'd like to see a picture- let me know. I have about a million of them. 

7. When I say “the happiest memory” what does come to your mind?

Honestly, I have so many, and I'm trying to think of what my "best" memory is. BUT there is one that popped in my head immediately for whatever reason. This is going to be long....

It was my seventeenth birthday, and I had arranged for my boyfriend at the time and I to go out that day. He took me to see a movie, then bought me cupcakes (because I love cupcakes), and we had a really nice day together. Eventually I stated that I wanted to go home, and for whatever reason he kept stalling and taking me to different places, and taking mysterious phone calls. FINALLY after like two hours of stalling, he took me home, and walked me to my door. I was about to open my front door, but he stopped me and said, "Wait, one more thing- I love you." When I opened my front door, confetti was tossed at my face and a huge crowd of people jumped at me and yelled "Happy birthday!" Every single one of my friends were there, including my parents, and they had all planned this huge surprise party for me. I even found out that my parents arranged for my boyfriend to take me out that day, while they put everything together, and the mysterious phone calls he kept taking were from my parents. Somehow I hadn't caught on to any of this- and, it was just really sweet and thoughtful of everybody. I don't know why this memory popped into my head first, but yeah... that was a good day. 

8. Have you seen your favourite singer/group live?

I've seen some cool bands, but no one that I was crazy about. Two of my friends and I went and saw Imagine Dragons back when it wasn't well known, and in the middle of the performance the lead singer had to stop in the middle of his song and was nearly crying because he was so happy and overwhelmed by the crowd of people. It was sweet :) 

9. Best compliment you have received?

"Your eyes penetrate souls." HAH. 

10. Favourite English word?

Oooo I don't know. Maybe epiphany. I say that a lot. Like, "I've just had an epiphany!!!" 

11. Have you been to cinema in the last month? If yes, which movie did you watch?

Yes, actually! I saw Mockingjay Friday night. I liked it- but the end made me so sad :( Even though I already knew what happened from the book haha. 

My questions:

1. If you could meet any one person, who would it be, and why? 

2. Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not? 

3. If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be? 

4. If you could eliminate any fears or doubts that you have, what is one thing you would do? 

5. Do you prefer to have large groups of friends, or a few, close friends? 

6. If you could relive any moment in your life, which would it be? 

7. What is one thing you hope to do in your future? 

8. What personality traits do you value the most? 

9. How has your day been so far? 

10. What is your idea of a "perfect night?" 

11. Do you forgive easily? 

[ironworthstriking]

H + M

H - The last person I hugged.

ummm. a bunch of people last night.. i think my friend daniel (it was his birthday yesterday)

M - If I forgive betrayal.

depends on the person, the circumstance, and the betrayal.

ladyofanaturalstate replied to your post:The best pickup line is the action of buying a girl the book she's looking at in a bookstore.

Or - writing on a napkin that she looked s’cute whilst perusing/reading and leave your digits. Sure fire call back and marriage.

now if only there were more bookstores near me...
