Tag thingy

Tagged by the ever darling happyshappey!

Rule 1: 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

1. If you were asked to give a piece of advice (about anything), what would you say?  Look for the little things in life.  I've been a lot happier since I started paying attention to how many tiny/huge things there are that I used to take for granted.

2. What’s the strangest thing you believed as a child?  I honestly didn't believe in anything truly strange.  I was a reader of fairytales and believed in fairies and Peter Pan with all my child soul.

3. If you could do anything in the world, without fear of failure, what would you do? Travel to all the places I've really wanted to go to.

4. You’re going on a roadtrip. What would you take to entertain yourself on the drive? Lots of books!  And some good music.

5. Would you rather watch movies or tv shows for the rest of your life? I CAN'T CHOOSE

6. Is there a movie you consider inspirational? Amazing Grace was a wonderful movie.

7. Is there a song you’re really lovin’ right now? Whispers in the Dark, Mumford and Sons

8. Whats the best gift you’ve ever received, that you didn’t expect to love? (if that makes any sense) A super soft blanket that covers the whole of our bed; my initial reaction was "Oh yay!  A blanket!" and then after curling up in it a few times with a cup of tea and a good book, it has become my favourite thing EVER.

9. Is there a book you think everyone should read? Peter Pan.  Hands down.

10. When was the last time you laughed out loud? About fifteen minutes ago; Michael made a joke.

11. Anyone in history you’d like to meet? Jesus.  That would be pretty amazing.

Okay, now here are my questions:

1. What's one of your favourite habits that you have?

2. Do you like to plan things out in detail or be spontaneous?

3. If you could try out any job for a day, what would you like to try?

4. What's the first thing you notice about people?

5. If you could learn one random skill, what would you learn?

6. Do you cry easily?

7. What's the best prank you've ever pulled?

8. What are some of your favourite websites?

9. If you were a type of animal, which would you be and why?

10. Favourite book?

11. Would you rather live in the country or the city?

My Questions for you, my fellow Tumblr-ites: 

If you got your hands on a time machine that only had enough juice to do one time jump, when and where in the future or past would you be transported? Wow, is there 'juice' for a return journey? Because if not, yeesh! I think I'd want to go back and be there for an evening with the Inklings, probably (although it wasn't a very female-friendly environment...) or a cricket game of the Allahakbarries or one of those fantabulous literary dinners like the one that had Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde at it.

What animal do you most identify with? If you don’t identify with an animal at all (since I realize that’s kind of an odd question), which is your favorite? Hmmm, I like cats, big cats, (panthers!), bush babies, frogs... I'd probably identify most with dugongs though.

If you had to give up one sense (like hearing, sight, touch, smell, etc.), which would you choose to give up?  I'd hate to, but... smell.

Oh no! You’ve woken up in a completely different world from the one we currently live in! What are the characteristics of this world? ... I... don't know. There's not much I'd feel competent to change about the world - I wish we could decentralise and decentralise and decentralise power - bring businesses back down to a local level, slice and double slice the budgets and bureaucracy of government, etc.

What historical figure would you most like to have tea with? OH MY GOSH. By historical you mean dead, right? So no Hiddlseton? I'd probably want to have tea with G. K. Chesterton!

What is the most recent movie/TV show/book etc. (your choice!) that you’ve experienced and would you recommend it to us? Frozen! I don't know how I'd recommend it though...

What physical/personality attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex? (I realize this is not the most original of questions, but I just like to hear people’s “type”).  I'm incredibly predictable. Tall guys, curly hair, interested in classic literature and Jesus. Nice hands. Cheekbones.

What historical time period do you find most fascinating to study? Oooh, I don't know? I'm pretty much into everything from Regency to WWI and before - not a modern history fan so much, though.

Who is the celebrity you most often get told you look just like? I don't look like her at all, really, but Drew Barrymore.

Have you ever heard of the musician Birdy? If not, go youtube her right now. “Light Me Up,” her new track, is addicting. Will do! The only thing I know about Birdy is that a friend of mine thought she wrote 'Skinny Love'.

Haha, I forgot the interactive part of this! My questions are:

If you were a mythical being, what would you be? Mermaid, gnome, etc.

If you had the power to change one thing about society, what would it be?

One fictional character is alive and living in your garden/cupboard/garage - who do you choose?

If you had to bring back one historical dance to replace the current club style dancing, what would it be?

Tell us about your dream home

If life was a musical, what would you be singing today?

Who inspires you and why?

Hot weather or cold?

If you had to sacrifice your life for something, what would it be?

What would you most like to happen right at this moment?

@missmorland said: Aw, is OUAT S3 bad? I’m working my way through S2 at the moment…

yes, sadly it's not very good anymore :( and I loved it so much (I saw S1 probably 4 times and S2 2-3x) It starts at certain point in S2 (not sure how far you've got so I don't want to write any spoilers) and from then the story isn't anymore what is used to be and I feel that the characters aren't treated as they should - let's just say that the weight of the story that was before on female characters starts to tip a lot towards male. And also with S3 aside from that the writing got really week - before the stories were so amazingly intertwined and really quite well thought through, now it all feels gone (somehow it reminds me of the somewhat bland part in HPbook7 where 1/3 of the book was moving though forests with tent). It's really pity.

missmorland replied to your post: Gary Ablett keeps making me cry. Every time he...

My 15yo sister was getting very… involved in the Brownlow count, especially since it was so close near the end. There were many sighs of relieve and much hyperventilating when Gary won.

Yeah, we watched it all the way through for probably the first time, and I was gunning for Gaz to win it (as well as Patty Dangerfield! Even though he wasn't really in with a strong chance! haha)

He's just such a humble guy, and not afraid to share about his faith, which is awesome. And I like the fact that he lives up to it, like some celebrities are incapable of acting out the faith they profess, but he's not like that. 

Are you and your sister big footy fans? Who's your team?

missmorland replied to your post: *sigh* if I unfollowed everyone I want to unfollow...

Go ahead and unfollow or follow whoever you want to. Tumblr is what you make of it, and you want your dashboard to be as cool and interesting as possible!

yes, that's the problem. my dash isn't interesting or source of comfort already for about half a year now... since my eyes opening experience. Also lot of blogs changed or sort of died away and if I'd removed the rest that is bothering me then I'd have almost 0 left on my dash. So first I need to find someone to follow. The problem is however that most of the blogs are sort of you know, kind of posting pretty stuff and nothing of substance actually - and as I'm already 2 years on tumblr, "pretty stuff" gets old really quickly :/ I really don't need stuff like photosets of actors from magazines cause most of the time it means nothing to me, I want to see sets from shows or interviews that are not only pretty, and not only those where gif creators add pretty colours and textures to it, but something with a message; I want to see social issues being discussed and science and northern nature and mythology, lots of diverse stuff... On the other hand, there is a lot of stuff I don't want to see - if it's a GoT blog only I fear that they might post bloody stuff without cw, if it's multifandom sometimes it has too much of teen wolf or hannibal or other shows I don't want to see on my dash, and I seem to be completely unable to find some good nature blogs - except 2, or some good science blogs - except 1, or anything on social issues...I wasn't able to find a good DW blog so far - and that really bothers me as well. 

I mean if I've ever done a 'follow forever' I'd still probably be able to squeeze round 20 blogs into the list, but half of them don't post much - maybe once a week/or even month! So I have daily maybe 20tumblr dash pages and half of it is blacklisted :/ So there is nothing to elevate my spirit here anymore :( and that's sad and frustrating, as my life is pretty bad and I need some food at least for my brain
