I was tagged by @remysims and @cupcakegnome - thank you, Possums!
Rules: Always post the rules. Tag 11 new people you’d like to know better
1. Dogs or Cats? Cats. I love both but cats by a whisker, heheheh.
2. YouTube celebrities or normal celebrities? I’m sorry but in my reality there are no such creatures as ‘Youtube celebrities.’ So normal celebrities by default. (see also Question 8 lolol)
3. If you could live in anywhere were would that be? I am a very proud (and totally unbiased!) Australian. We have our flaws, but overall our lifestyle, multiculturalism, geography, and healthcare make this the best country in the world to live in.
4. Disney or DreamWorks? Neither.
5. Favorite childhood TV show? The Goodies
6. The movie you’re looking forward to most in 2020? Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
7. Favorite book you read in 2019? The North Water by Ian McGuire.
8. Marvel or DC? I will say DC only because Gal Gadot hits me so hard in my gay feels that I just.....gah. Excuse me while I go and have a lie down.
9. If you choose Marvel favorite member of the X-Men? If you choose DC favorite Justice League member? Wonder Woman duh.
10. Night or Day? Night. I usually get more peace at night.
11. Favorite Pokémon? The oldest and most morally corrupt one probably.
12. Top 5 bands: Tones and I. Tones and I. Tones and I. Tones and I. Tones and I.
13. Top 10 books: A Boy’s Own Story- Edmund White. First book that ever made me cry. I still slavishly read everything by Edmund White I can get my hands on.
The Catcher in the Rye- J. D Salinger. This book to me is like the literary equivalent of my oldest, dearest friend.
The Great Gatsby- F. Scott Fitzgerald I’ve never seen any of the film versions of this book for fear its perfection would be ruined for me.
Madame Bovary- Gustave Flaubert. I read this book in about two days when I was thirteen or fourteen. It was a revelation. I had no idea ‘serious’ literature could be so consuming, racy, or addictive. (I’ve said before that quite a lot of Anita was inspired by Madame Bovary :P)
Enduring Love- Ian McEwan I love the growing sense of unease that permeates Ian McEwan’s best writing, and the idea that love can be something so unnerving and sinister. He is a master of his craft.
The Lieutenant- Kate Grenville. Our best Australian author.
One Hundred Years of Solitude-Gabriel García Márquez. Just magical in every sense.
Birdsong- Sebastian Faulks Another beautiful writer with the ability to make me cry.
Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh This book seduced me, ravished me and then abandoned me like a fickle, feckless lover. I was never to be the same.
The Road- Cormac McCarthy. I was quite shattered by the story, the spare, beautiful writing and the relationship between father and son. He received the Pulitzer Prize for this book. It haunts me to this day.
14. Top 4 movies: 1) Little Fish 2) Ferris Bueller’s Day Off 3) A Streetcar Named Desire 4) Fargo
15. America or Europe? Europe no question.
16. Tumblr or Twitter? Tumblr. I don’t know how you could tell a story on Twitter, lmbooo.
17. Pro choice or Pro life? Pro choice.
18. Favourite YouTuber:😒
19. Favourite author? A toss up between Kate Grenville, Ian McEwan, Joyce Carol Oates and Helen Garner.
20. Tea or coffee? Coffee.
21. OTP? Miraj.
22. Do you play an instrument/sing? I always have to answer ‘the skin flute’ for @gaiahypothesims‘ benefit. It’s a meme-thingey rule.
