1-5, 16, 17, 25 (Unique question thingy)

Unique Questions Ask

1. Put your iTunes on shuffle. Give me the first 5 songs that pop up.

I’ll use Spotify but:

- Someday by Rob Thomas

- Let Her Go by Passenger

- I’m Not the Only One by Sam Smith

- Tight Rope by Alex Clare

- Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down by Fall Out Boy

2. If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?

- At the moment it’d be Gerard Way.

3. Grab the book nearest to you, and turn to page 23, give me line 17.

- “Jenny said, ‘None of your business.’ “ - Young Skins by Colin Barrett (Haven’t actually read it yet, was supposed to read it for class)

4. What do you think about most?

- Truthfully whatever I’m most interested in (or in my bad moments what I worry about) at the time. For the past several days I’ve been thinking a LOT about My Chemical Romance’s ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’ album because it’s INCREDIBLE (I mean I’ve liked it for a little while, but I’ve just been really into it this past week - I listened to it 4 times last week oops :P )

5. Ever had a poem or a song written about you?

- …. This is going to sound super insulting if anyone has but I just cannot remember!! I don’t think so? (If anyone wants to, feel free!)

16. Do you have a collection of anything?

- I used to try and collect things all the time as a kid, but it never really worked. Unless sticker albums count? When I was a kid Mum got us these empty plain booklets and stuck HEAPS of stickers in them so now I have a collection of stickers from the 90s! (For ome reason there is a very large amount of Teletubby stickers and I have no clue why - every second page there’s at least 1 pretty much!)

17. Are you happy with the person you’ve become?

(How to know I am a geek for my favourite bands - the first thing that popped into my head was a Bastille lyric, ‘Can you stand the person you’ve become?’ )

In some ways yes, and in some ways no. One way in which I’m much happier with myself is that I think i have a pretty decent taste in music now!

25. To you, what is the meaning of life?

- Big question. I will be honest and say I don’t know. And I don’t know if I’ll ever know. But I know that I want to be happy, and for me to mean SOMETHING, whether it means I end up mattering to the world, to my friends, or even just to one person.

Thanks Elly!

Kristina, Elly, Holly -

Thank you so much for your reassuring messages <3 They were very encouraging, and I’ve actually finished one of the things I needed to do now :D You guys are the best, thank you <3

(So so thankful for being in the Clue Crew at this moment - without it I’d never have met you three and others!)

21, the second 22, 28, 29, 30, 36, 39 :)

Ooh thanks for sending some in, Elly!

Ask Game

21. Do You Think You’d Make A Good Parent?

- I really don’t know. Maybe someday. Definitely not right now though - I can barely take care of myself, the thought of being completely responsible for another tinier human being’s life is kinda terrifying :P

22. What  Was the Last Dream You Remember Having?

- I did have one last night - not sure what it was about, the only detail I can remember is it was something to do with Facebook. The dream I remember properly was last week - I had an awful nightmare about my tutor’s assistance dog being taken away from her and she was just so sad - I actually woke up in tears!

28. What Is Your Favourite Soda?

- Probably Sprite or Fanta, though I do really like Vanilla Coke when I can have it.

29. What’s A Strange Talent You Have?

- I’m really not sure if they count as ‘talents’ but - As well as being able to roll my tongue, I can roll it almost completely on its side, sort of. And I can notice really little things in songs - like lyrics, general theme, or instrumentals, that may have almost nothing to do with each other (or more in common than first though), but my brain connects them somehow and gives me reasons or ways in which they connect. Hope that makes sense :P I have these ideas in a notebook. May share my findings with Tumblr someday. (Though if you’re curious at all Elly, feel free to send me an ask about it and I’ll try my best to answer any questions you may have)

30. How’s the Weather Right Now?

- It’s sunny! Though the sun is currently annoying me as it’s shining almost right on my screen (and I can’t move my computer off my desk right now) and the curtains are already shut but they’re useless as they’re these sort of translucent ones that do nothing for blocking out sun - I’ve recently moved in with my Nana, you see :P

36. What’s Your Favourite Restaurant?

- There’s this nice restaurant in Wellington called Floriditas, which I really like.

39. What Is Your Favourite Kind of Pizza?

- I’m fussy, generally plain cheese or whatever’s closest to that.

Thanks for asking!

[hiriahb]

Emerald, Salmon, Scarlet, Inchworm, Moonstone, Mystic Maroon. :)

Crayon Colour Asks

Emerald - Favourite Thing About Yourself?

- I think either that I try my best to be a good friend, or that I (seem to have) good taste in music ^_^

Salmon - Place You Wish to Live Or Visit?

- I’d really really like to visit the UK or the US or both! I have friends who live in both places, and I’d just really like to visit those people and the countries themselves!

Scarlet - Favourite Book?

- I don’t know if I could pick one overall favourite book, but my all time favourite book series I think is Harry Potter! One book I did like recently though is Thicket, a book of poetry by New Zealand poet Anna Jackson! (I recommend it - my favourite poem in the book is ‘Dream Golems’)

Inchworm - Favourite Song?

- I couldn’t possibly pick just one favourite song, but a recent favourite has been Up, On & Over by Bronze Radio Return! And a song that I’ve been listening to a lot recently is Don’t You Know Who I Think I Am? by Fall Out Boy!

Moonstone - Something You Love the Smell of?

- Certain kinds of paper, and chocolate! 

Mystic Maroon - Met Anyone Famous?

Yes actually! I’ve met a few I think: 

- The main actresses from the first two series of The Saddle Club, Keenan MacWilliam, Sophie Bennett, and Lara Jean Marshall (they played Carole Hanson, Stephanie ‘Stevie’ Lake, and Lisa Atwood respectively)

- Jacqueline Wilson, British children’s author

- Yeardley Smith, who’s most known for portraying Lisa Simpson on the Simpsons

Thanks for asking!
