I was tagged by come---along---pond.tumblr.com, who is lovely so you should go follow her
Rules:
1) What was the last thing to really make you smile?
I checked my emails last night and forgot that I'd sent myself an email from the past using futureme.org and I got to smile at how much things had changed and the advice I gave myself.
2) What fictional character do you identify with most?
Oooh um hmm. I think it depends on what seasons etc but still... I guess I would say maybe Caroline from vampire diaries - purely because I totally understand the whole "I'm never the one" thing, definitely get the whole 'mum is always working away so don't see her most of the time' and can be paranoid and a little anxious and neurotic sometimes. Oh and I never say the right thing either. But then again, I love Blair from gossip girl in the earlier seasons - how she would always look so calm, without a hair out of place on the outside but everything would be bubbling away underneath.
3) What’s your favourite place in the world?
Despite the fact I love cities, I love Kew Gardens. I used to go there all the time when I lived in London and it was so peaceful, and still is. I loved the High Line park in New York too, and the top of the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre in Paris, where you can see the whole city but it's calm too.
4) You can have a dinner party with three people from the whole of history, who do you choose and why?
ummm I'll do two historical and one not
- Marie Antoinette (partly so she could help me write my EPQ, partly because I find her ridiculously interesting, and I think she'd have some stories to tell)
- Shakespeare (how could you not want to meet him)
- Lady Gaga (there is sooo much I could ask her)
(haha also on the shortlist for the historical ones were Cleopatra, Audrey Hepburn, Chopin, F Scott Fitzgerald and Truman Capote)
5) What did you want to be when you were six years old?
An actress or a mermaid.
6) Favourite album?
Too hard to pick - at the moment I listen to a stupid amount of Bastille's cover albums, love Lana Del Rey's album and unreleased stuff, but will always have a soft spot for the Fame Monster and Ed Sheeran's + album.
7) Favourite year of your life so far?
Last year or the year before. 2010 was alright too.
8) What’s something you’re really looking forward to?
New York with Anna next year and for the bloody politics module I have on the 16th to be over.
9) What was your last memorable dream?
Hmm, I think it was being driven around in a car by one of my friends, telling her that watching her drive was like seeing a dog walk on it's hind legs.
10) What, for you, was the biggest event of 2012?
A lot of good things happened over the summer I guess. The born this way ball and seeing the killers were amazing too.
11) What is one thing that you think you’re really good at? And please no being modest, this is your chance to brag :P
I don't know, I guess sometimes I write well? And I'm told I'm a good tea maker?
OK, my eleven questions for the tagged:

2) What's your favourite food?
3) Do you have a middle name or any nicknames you're embarrassed about?
4) What would you do with three wishes? (apart from wish for more wishes)
5) If you could live in any other era apart from your own, what era would you choose?
6) Do you have a favourite book?
7) What's one place you've always wanted to visit?
8) What would be your dream job?
9) Do you have a guilty pleasure TV show, and what is it?
10) Who/what is your favourite fictional character?
11) What would you do if you won the lottery? (like, a big euromillions-style jackpot)?
