I was tagged by dolorosa.
Rule 1: Post the rules
Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 10 new ones
Rule 3: Tag 10 people and link them to the post
Rule 4: Actually tell them you tagged them
Questions are:
1. Are you a morning or an evening person, and why?
Okay, so here's the thing. When I get up early and have a cup of tea and a decent breakfast, I am extremely chirpy and a total morning person. The sad thing is, I have no real reason to get up early because I work afternoon shifts at the moment.
2. What is one instance in which you changed your mind about a significant issue?
Feminism. I was one of those teenagers who thought feminism was all about angry women not shaving their legs. I had a teacher who I really admired and respected tell me 'trust me, you'll feel different in a few years'. She was right, about two years later I was a massive feminist.
3. What are your feelings about your hometown? (If you moved around a lot as a child, what are your feelings about that?)
I come from a very rough and poverty filled town. The unemployment rate is the highest in Britain, and is life expectancy is lower than Haiti. (This is actually true.) The thing is? I love it. I love where I come from, I love the slightly rough-around-the-edges people I know. Because a lot of them are the most intelligent and articulate people you'll meet.
4. Who was the first fictional character that you identified with? (If you have never identified with a fictional character, could you tell me why that might be?)
I've thought about this for ten minutes and I've got nothing.
5. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
To be selfish. To say no to people.
6. What is the worst piece of advice you have ever received?
I don't actually remember ever being given any bad advice?
7. What was the weirdest thing you wanted to be when you grew up as a child?
I'm not sure if it counts as weird, but I wanted to be a Paramedic for more than ten years. even though I'm not good under pressure and I'm not good at science at all.
Mountains. I live on the edge of a mountain range, it's hard not to absolutely love them.
9. What are your chances of surviving in a post-apocalyptic or dystopian setting?
Not that great, tbh. I'm a total weakling and not at all hardy.
10. Can you remember why you joined Tumblr?
I remember joining tumblr because I followed a lot of 'fuckyeah' blogs using rss feeds and decided that that was totally pointless.
I'm gonna tag @larousse1, @doctorbee, @soapyraindrops and @hoopyfroodyford. Also @dolorosa, as I've tried to make my questions not overlap yours too much.
1. What's a song you could listen to for an entire day and never get bored of it?
2. Do you feel more at home in the city or in the countryside?
3. If you've ever been an obsessive fan over something but have stopped liking it as much in recent years, how come? Do you still like that thing?
4. What's your favourite meal to make?
5. What is your best way of cheering yourself up?
6. What is your favourite alcoholic drink?
7. Where in the world would you most like to live?
8. What is your favourite childhood memory?
9. What bad habits annoy you the most in your friends and family?
