Aaaaalso an additional heads up for people, if you sent me a message in the last few weeks (or if you send me one in the next few days/weeks) and I still haven't replied, a) I am really sorry, I really suck at replying to things quickly and b) I won't really be able to reply until I get my laptop back and that might be a few weeks from now, idk But I definitely will reply at some point
I was tagged by the lovely elementary-my-dear-timelord
ALWAYS POST THE RULES. - ANSWER THE QUESTIONS OF THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU. - THEN WRITE 11 NEW ONES. - TAG 11 PEOPLE. - LET THEM KNOW YOU TAGGED THEM.
1. Why did you get tumblr?
A friend of mine mentioned it a few times so I decided to get an account, so I could have a blog (you know, when you first hear 'blog' before you get tumblr, you think it's all people writing about themselves and stuff), or essentially so I could have a sort of diary online that people could read if they wanted? But I created an account and then didn't actually do anything on here for a few months. Then she started talking about it again and I decided to actually get into it, and from then on I've been a fandom blog.
2. Who did you last talk to on the phone/Skype?
Phone: Marisa, Skype: either my friend Liz, my sister Nicci or my parents. I haven't actually used skype in months though, because I tend to just phone them or talk on fb if I don't see them face to face.
3. Where would you rather be right now?
Hmm, this is a tough one because I don't really have a specific place I'd rather be? I'd just rather be somewhere after all my exams are over and done with, but that's more of a when than a where...
4. Have you ever been to a gig? If so who?
I've been to five. My first one was Flyleaf, with The Crave supporting (who, considering I had no idea who they were, were actually really good and I bought their first album and still listen to it occasionally). The second was Deaf Havanna/There For Tomorrow/Me vs Hero. I had no idea who Me vs Hero were, and I haven't listened to them since, and I knew maybe 3 songs from each of the other bands before I went. It was a fun enough gig, but I mostly just went because my sister and her friend were going so I decided I may as well go as well. Like I said, enjoyable enough :) Third was my favourite band, My Chemical Romance, supported by The Blackout (who I did quite like, but don't really listen to that often now), and LostAlone (who I hadn't heard of, but were pretty cool). Next was Blink 182, supported by All American Rejects, and I have a feeling there was someone else too but I can't remember who. Google tells me it was Four Year Strong, and yeah okay, that makes sense. It was a fun gig with a friend, she went mostly for AAR but I liked Blink 182 a lot too so it was extra fun for me. And then lastly and most recently was Avenged Sevenfold (who I love), supported by Five Finger Death Punch (who I am also a casual fan of), and some other band I'd never heard of and subsequently forgot the name of. It would've been a great gig but it was my first time standing in a huge hall rather than seated/in a smaller room, and I was on my own so I got trampled quite a bit and I ended up getting so claustrophobic and knocked down/trodden on/kicked so often I ended up having a huge panic attack so I walked out, calmed down, and went back in and stood at the back, but other than that, and having to leave just as they started the encore, it was a wonderful gig. I wish I could go to more gigs, but they're a pain to get to from where I live, and I don't really have the money.
5. Describe your room in 3 words
Uni room or room at home or room in my house next year? Okay, uni room: small, messy, mine. Room at home: untidy, shared, cluttered. Room in my house next year: attic, big, roof-light (which is honestly one of the main reasons I wanted the attic room despite it being the furthest from the one bathroom in the house but whatever, I'll deal)
6. What’s your eye colour?
Blue-yellow. I'm not kidding, they're not really green. They're grey-blue around the outside, then sort of yellow in the middle, so I guess from afar they do look green-ish, but yeah, they're not like, just green if you get me?
7. Do you trust people easily?
Not really, no. Like, I don't make friends that easily, and when I do, it's a long time before I trust them enough to start telling them sort of 'deep' stuff about me, if that makes sense?
8. Tell me about the last time you went to the cinema
I can't remember the exact date, but it was to go see Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier. The film itself was wonderful, but a lot of the time, I end up going with my friend and she's invited her guy friend, I end up feeling like a huge third wheel, since I don't really talk to him that much. So it's kind of awkward, but like, the film itself was wonderful. But then after, she was going to stay the night at his house so she didn't need to get the bus back to our campus, but I did, so I had to leave (BEFORE I COULD SEE THE CREDITS SCENE, AND I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GO SEE IT AGAIN SO I HAVEN'T SEEN THE MID & END CREDITS SCENES FFFFFFUCK) really quickly, then go get the bus back to main campus, then get the bus back to my campus, after sitting outside for 15 minutes because I'd managed to get the earlier bus from town (if I'd waited and got the later bus, I probably would've been late for the hopper bus). This is also a note of how annoying it is to be studying out in the middle of nowhere. Don't get me wrong, most of the time I love being on this campus, but it makes getting to and from socials in the city really annoying, hence why I'm living closer to the city and main campus next year, and you don't need to know this because you didn't ask but it's happening anyway whoops sorry
9. Which celebrity do you want to meet?
Ugh, so many. Do you want a list? Because this is going to be a list. Okay here goes. Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Dormer, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe, Colin Morgan, Martin Freeman, Chris Evans, Katie McGrath, and probably loads of others that I haven't mentioned/have forgotten. Also like, a crap ton of musicians too, but this list is long enough anyway
10. Which accents are a turn on?
I don't really find any particular accent to be a turn on? Like, accents aren't a turn on for me. And I can't really say "oh I like this accent lots" because loads of accents are kinda cool and nice to listen to, but I can't think of any one or two specific ones, if that makes sense
11. What’s a skill of yours?
Procrastinating, then hating myself for it. That is a skill I have years of experience with and have polished to almost perfection
But seriously, I guess you could say playing piano, up to a point. I'm not that great, especially because I haven't been able to practice in ages, and since I finished GCSE music, and since my brothers started getting really dick-ish about me practicing when they're at home, I rarely get the chance to practice, so I pretty much can only play the one song now, and even then, I always make mistakes on it.
Hmmm now to think of 11 more questions. I haven't done this in a while, so I normally just say to other people 'do the same questions I just did' but I feel like coming up with some.
1. It is a zombie apocalypse, your best friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/datefriend/significant other gets infected with the zombie virus, and asks you to kill them before they can turn into a zombie and potentially kill you. What do you do and how do you react?
2. Think of a really happy childhood memory. Tell me about it, in as much or as little detail as you want.
3. White bread, brown bread, or 50/50?
4. What are your favourite pizza toppings?
5. Do you have exams coming up/have you just gone through exams/are you in the middle of exams? Use this space to vent about how you feel about them.
6. How do you feel about Pentatonix? (youtube here)
7. Is there something you've been meaning to do for a while? What is it and why haven't you been able to do it yet?
8. What are your plans for the future? This can be as broad speaking as your life plan, or as short term as what you're planning to eat for tea tonight - expand as much or as little as you want
9. What is your favourite movie soundtrack?
10. Do you play/have you ever played videogames? Which ones? (console or PC or any, I'm not picky)
11. Have you ever made a friend on tumblr who you know has significantly changed your life? Who is it? Take this chance to thank them
okay I'm just in pain right now, my back is killing me, I'm super tired, my flatmates are talking super loud for some reason, and I'm really fucking mad that someone would even fucking think to drill holes into a tortoise shell and put a fucking handle on it I mean jesus fucking christ really?
I know I got a couple of messages a few days ago (Sarah and Renee this bit is pretty much directed at you) and I swear I will answer them, probably tomorrow, but I just don't have the concentration right now, and in short my mind won't stay focussed enough to even write like, 5 words. I've got distracted writing this like 12 times already, and I really need to go to bed. So like I said, I will attempt to get round to answering your messages tomorrow, but I can't make any promises. It could be just as likely that I forget entirely and it takes me three weeks to respond (in which case, I am super sorry if it does)
