I have been tagged in this twice, by belle-isle and patheticfolks, both amazing and wonderful people!
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make ten new ones
3. Tag ten people and link them to your post
4. Let them know you’ve tagged them
1. What’s your talent? I can solve a Rubik’s cube? Does that count? But I can also play the piano.
2. What was the last book you read? I feel like I haven’t read in a long time, mainly because I can’t find the time to, it’s quite sad actually.. I’ve been really into crime/thriller books recently so the last book I read was The Crucifix Killer by Chris Carter.
3. Favourite quote? Too hard - I like too many! I have always liked this one from Amy Pond in Doctor Who: “You know when, sometimes you meet someone so beautiful, and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later, they’re as dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, and you meet them and you think, ‘Not bad; they’re okay.’ And then you get to know them, and their face sort of becomes them, like their personality is written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful.”
4. Do you have any pets/what type of pet do you want? We have over 100 fish - goldfish and koi carp - in the pond in our garden but when I’m older and live on my own, I would love a pug or maybe a shih-tzu or maybe a German shepherd puppy that I could raise till it was old but I also love kittens (just kittens, not cats) and I also love micro-pigs. It would also be awesome to have chickens.
5. What’s your favourite type of ice-cream? Vanilla! ..or cookies and cream or pralines and something else (I can’t remember the name but they’re both from Haagen Dazs) or maybe cookie dough from Ben and Jerry’s. I do like my cookies.
6. How have you been feeling recently? STRESSED! But I’ve been happy(-ish), kind of okay. It changes on an hourly basis.
7. Favourite moment of your life? I can never pinpoint a certain moment, sorry..
8. If you could do one thing before you die, what would it be? Travel round the world, maybe settle in Paris, set up a cafe on an old cobble-stoned street where cakes would be baked fresh everyday and drive a Vespa.
9. What’s the one thing that gets you in a good mood? Music.
10. Finally, do you have any regrets? If so, what? Plenty, but I remember someone once saying that even though everybody has their regrets, at that moment, it was everything they wanted. A lot of the time, I wish that I’d been more confident and participated in something or done something or stood up for myself.
1. Favourite band? This is hard but the ones I like at the moment are The Vamps (they’re pretty new on the scene but l love love love them), Imagine Dragons (listen to their album Night Visions - I like the songs It’s Time, Round and Round and Amsterdam) and McFly (they’re an all time favourite and they are hilarious).
2. Last book you read? Answered this already!
3. Tell us about one memorable moment of your life? I wouldn’t call this particularly memorable but I’ve always remembered it so it qualifies as memorable for me: it was the end of the day at school and I wanted to get to my locker because I wanted to go home. This girl was standing in front of my locker so I think I asked her to move but I must’ve asked really rudely or something because I think she said no, or maybe wait a minute, or something that annoyed me. I must’ve had a tough day at school because I have no idea what came over but I slapped her. LIKE UGH, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! She was as shocked as I was and challenged (is that the right word?) me to slap her again, daring me to. And I did. Because I’m a supermassive idiot. And then she pushed me so that I banged into the desk and had a bruised hip for about a week. I AM SUCH AN IDIOT, WHO DOES THIS, SERIOUSLY? So anyway, yeah. This happened about two years ago. True story.
4. A person that inspires you. This is going to sound so sad but it’s this fictional character from one of my favourite stories. This story is called The Pull Of Destiny and is available to read on FictionPress (oh damn, was going to put in a link but now she’s published it on Amazon. Anyway, you should all still go and support her because her writing is amazing. She’s also written another story called Kissing Booth Princess and is one of my favourite stories). Another person who inspires me is this guy I read about in the paper.
5. Why? He’s the typical rich, spoilt brat kid (he’s sixteen or maybe seventeen actually but anyhow) but he hates it. But he still acts like a dick because everyone expects him to. So anyway, he’s ill so he get’s working on his bucketlist and employs the help of a poor girl who is so kind and lovely even thought she doesn’t have half of what he’s got and yeah, he just inspired me to live life to the full (damn, that is one cheesy cliché) and to be a good person and other things but I won’t say because it’ll give the story away. One of the things on his bucketlist was to donate a lot of money to a struggling charity, which he did anonymously. The next day, there’s a small article in the newspaper saying that a ‘mysterious benefactor’ (I love that term!) had donated a lot of money to this charity. The other guy is someone I read about in the paper quite a while ago - he was a pretty rich businessman but he went round London giving people £1000 and telling them to do something good with it and help other people. I found that absolutely amazing. Like, to be able to do that would be amazing because you’re helping other people and doing good. I also like the whole anonymous this because the idea of fame just really does not appeal to me. I don;t have to get recognised for it - as long as it’s helping other people, that is satisfying enough.
6. Do you prefer to be asleep or awake? Both. When I’m awake, I just want to stay awake but when I’m asleep, all I want to do is sleep.
7. Two things on your bucketlist. Teach myself how to play the guitar and volunteer at a soup kitchen/homeless shelter over the festive period. It’s a time when everyone should be with family and feel safe and loved and if I can contribute to that in anyway, that would be amazing.
8. An experience that changed your life. Hm. I’m not going to go into details but a few years ago, something smallish happened but because of that one tiny, stupid and insignificant thing, I’m a lot more paranoid now and scared and stupid and just ugh. Yeah. I don’t like saying stuff like this because it makes me sound like a twat.
9. Do you want to be 15 again? I’m fifteen at the moment and it is so STRESSFUL. Exams and blah de blah and college and ugh… so much!
10. Favourite youtubers? I just love the youtube crew in general.. this is such a difficult question for me to answer! Sam was the first one I watched and originally, I really liked him but then I started watching Marcus (because of the collab) and I liked him more than Sam. I don’t really like Sam as much now, I feel like he’s changed so much since moving the the US like his clothes, his hair and his videos are all just… worse. And then I started watching Alfie and I absolutely adore him, he’s so cute! And him and Zoe just- aaahhh! They are so cute together (Zalfie!) but she’s older than him, that’s the only thing I’m a little bit uneasy about. So Zoe is cute as well. And Louise (link to vlog channel here - SHE IS SO FUNNY!), I love her! I think she’s my favourite female youtuber because she’s so lovely and funny but she’s also humble. And then there’s Louis (link to vlog channel here - he does daily vlogs) and Maz who are cute - out of all of them, I think Maz has the nicest face and body (but have you seen Marcus’s arms?! Phwoar.) but Louis is such a good person - if you watch his ‘Draw My Life’ video, to me, he is pretty much the definition of a good person. He is such an inspiration. And can’t forget Troye and Tyler - they are such cuties!
