Rule one: always post the rules

Rule two: answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones

Rule three: tag 11 people and link them to the post

Rule four: actually tell them you tagged them

1. what’s your favourite quote?

So I actually have this little orange notebook in which I write down quotes I really like and one that stands out as one of my very favourites is the Doctor Who quote: “The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”  because I can relate to it having gone through rough things myself and I enjoy every opportunity to be happy that comes my way.

2. what is the best thing you did in 2013?

Probably the best thing I did was taking control of myself. Before, I used to be a very shy and socially awkward person (not that I am not anymore), but it really hindered me in my daily life because I would be scared to speak up and be judged for my opinion. Taking control really allowed me to live amazing experiences since I was able to finally see my internet friends in real life without whom I would be nothing and travel alone to London and have 2 amazing weeks of independence.

3. what is one villain that you really love?

Does saying Bellatrix Lestrange make me a demented person? (probably but idgaf). She is just so twisted. I would be terrified to take a trip to the inside of her mind because I'm at least 89% sure there'll be an image of her, Voldemort, and Umbridge having a threesome. But i really want to know how she came to a mind like hers, what happened while she was growing up so that she'd become this way. So yeah... Bellatrix...

4. what are the top 5 books on your to-read list?

Hush Hush

The Darkest Minds

Damned

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

How to Say Goodbye in Robot

5. do you prefer tea or coffee?

Tea. Although I find coffee to be delicious when drowned in mild, sugar, and chocolate.

6. what is one song that reminds you most of your favourite character/book/series (etc.)

'Little Lion Man' by Mumford and Sons just really reminds me of hose characters that are really strong on the outside but are a tumbling in self remorse inside and juST THESE CHArACTERS GIVE mE aLoT oF fEeLiNgS oKaY? (Leo Valdez I'm looking at you)

7. is there any book or tv show that is really popular but you dislike/hate?

The Vampire Diaries. I tried the show, didn't like it that much, tried the books, nope. I just didn't like it.

8. which character’s death makes you the most emotional (in any series)?

I am guessing Augustus Waters is the answer most commonly used? Other than that little pearl that made me cry forever, William Herondale's death from the Infernal Devices series left me a wailing blob of tears and feels.

9. which character do you see yourself the most in and why?

I can't see myself as one define character, since over the years, I have grown into new traits that i accumulated from all of the books I've read. I like to think of myself as a little bit of Luna Lovegood, Katniss Everdeen, Leo Valdez,and Hermione Granger.

10. what’s your favourite colour?

Green.

11. what is one character that you really can’t stand no matter what?

I really hate those characters that are made to be hated, like Umbridge, Octavian, Snow, and all those little bitches. Ugh. Can't stand them.

So my 11 questions are:

Quick! Your house is on fire! What are the three things you grab before everything burns down? (People and pets not included)

If you could have one super power, what would it be?

What are your main goal for 2014?

What's the randomest thing you've ever done?

Who was your first crush?

You have the opportunity to be anywhere right now. Where do you go?

What is the one series you didn't like until you try?

What's the best thing that could happen to you in the next month?

What's the kind of people you despise/hate?

Rule one: always post the rules

Rule two: answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones

Rule three: tag 11 people and link them to the post

Rule four: actually tell them you tagged them

1. what’s your favourite quote?

I have a few that rank up there, but my favorite would have to be 'we’re all just little animals, falling in love and having breakfast beneath billions of stars' (youphoric.tumblr.com) because, more than anything, it summarises how I feel about the inherent goodness of the human race and how badness is only ever learnt.

2. what is the best thing you did in 2013?

The greatest thing I did last year was decide to take responsibility for myself, to stop blaming people being angry with me on them instead of myself. It seems like such a simple thing, but until late last year I wasn't even aware I was doing it.

3. what is one villain that you really love?

I'm not sure why, but I've always loved David Prentiss Snr. for his depth, grey-ness and mind boggling lack of sympathy and empathy. He's selfish in regards to Todd and how he feels that Todd should be the son he never had and disregards that he had a chance with Davy. It's always a sort of rush when you address a character that scares and frustrates you that much; scares because of how I see him in politicians and other people in power.

4. what are the top 5 books on your to-read list?

1. The Goddess Chronicle

2. Emma

3. A Tale of Two Cities

4. The Sky is Everywhere

5. The Crane Wife

5. do you prefer tea or coffee?

Tea--coffee literally tastes like feet why do people drink it

6. what is one song that reminds you most of your favourite character/book/series (etc.)

Needle by the Born Ruffians will remind me of every character that's ever felt lonely or lost since the dawn of time (which is just about every one) but harlequin dream will always remind me of Eowyn and, to an extent, the rest of Lord of the Rings

7. is there any book or tv show that is really popular but you dislike/hate?

I could never really get into Sherlock, and it was more along the lines of being told that I would be absolutely shocked and astounded by the cases, when it only happened twice throughout the two series? (I've yet to see season 3 though). But it was good, and the acting was good, and if I'd gone in with a more neutral mind set, I think I would have liked it more.

8. which character’s death makes you the most emotional (in any series)?

Hands down, the most mourned character I've ever cried over was Hans Huberman from the Book Thief. His and Rosa and Rudy's deaths killed me. 

9. which character do you see yourself the most in and why?

I'd like to say Eowyn and Jo Harvelle, but it's probably more along the lines of Thalia Grace with a dash of Luna Lovegood and Katniss Everdeen

10. what’s your favourite colour?

Red.

11. what is one character that you really can’t stand no matter what?

I really despise the people you're supposed to despise, like I hate Mundungus Fletcher. And the obvious ones, Joffrey and Umbridge. And Octavian. Ughghhhhhghhh.
