1. Worst decision of your life and whether it turned out okay or really bad in the end. Uhhm, I have no idea if I should consider this my worst decision because there either might have been worse, or I shouldn't call this a decision, but I'm going to go with this. Staying in the most destructive relationship of my life for far too long. I should have ended it after the first week.

2. If you could go anywhere and meet anyone in time, when and whom would you visit? THAT IS AN AWFUL QUESTION how could I éver answer that? There are so many writers I would like to meet, and philosophers. I think those two kind of people would be on my top list. Picking them is impossible though.

3. What fictional character would you like to have a cup of tea/coffee/beverage and a serious discussion with? (If you plan on ending the evening in the bedroom, please don’t tell me ;) ) Random people from the top of my head: Luna Lovegood, Remus Lupin, Albus Dumbledore, James Moriarty, Uncle Iroh.

4. Biggest annoyance when you’re in a hurry. Not being able to find my keys I mean come ON

5. First kiss: who, success/disaster? This one boy. I'd say it was a pretty decent first kiss, as far as they go.

6. How did you find out? Isn't it obvious?

7. Favourite quote. Not necessarily my favourite, but definitely a big one: The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. (Bertrand Russell)

8. If you had unlimited resources, what would you choose to do with the money? Aside from the obvious helping others, I'd travel forever, set up an organisation and shelter for animals, invest in an eco-friendly house with an incredible bathroom and just be happy that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.

9. One Disney movie that freaked you out completely. To be honest, I've always found Mickey Mouse to be creepy as shit. Yeah, I don't know. Plus that one Maleficent scene from Sleeping Beauty where she comes out of the fireplace dear lord.

10. Sneeze all over the front of your shirt or cough and shit yourself? (I warned they would be silly) Sneeze.

11. Tattoos/piercings? I've got one tattoo so far: a Sooth Sprite/Susuwatari (from Ghibli) on my wrist. There's a picture up on my blog somewhere but I'm too lazy. I'm planning on getting the Black Rabbit of Inle on my upper back soon. Two pairs of earrings, a helix and a septum.

I'm going to be a lazy ass and not tag anyone for now, I'm too tired to come up with any questions woops

I was tagged...

I was tagged!

Rule 1: Post the rules

Rule 2: Answer the questions your tagger set for you and then make 11 new ones.

Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to your post.

Rule 4: Let them know they’ve been tagged!

Qu 1: What kind of books do you like? Name four titles. I am captivated by books about WW1 so I choose "A Whispered Name" by William Broderick (the best book I've ever read), "Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks, "Redemption" by Pat Barker and (a bit of a cheat here) all WW1 poetry.

Qu 2: If you could choose any person (fictional, alive, dead, anything) to appear at your door tomorrow, who would it be and what would you like to talk to them about? Keith Moon (before he died rather than resurrected!) ; I'd love to give him a big welcome hug, sit him down with a cup of tea, tell him how loved he is by so many people and beg him to seek proper help with his many problems.

Qu 3: Favourite page on the internet and why? Tumblr, of course, because I love sharing space with like-minded souls.

Qu 4: Be honest: do you ever discriminate people? If so, what are your criteria to discriminate? I hope that I only discriminate between people based on their level of care for other people/living crreatures/the environment etc. I hate selfishness!

Qu 5: What are your thoughts on eating octopus? I think you might as well eat elastic bands!

Qu 6: How old do you feel right now? I have a few health issues :-( so physically, I probably feel at least as old as the middle-aged old bag that I am. Mentally, however, I feel as ridiculously over-enthusiastic as ever.

Qu 7: Five people you'd like to take out from any book and have lunch with. Three would be characters from my own novels (is that allowed?) "Moo" McCarthy - a truly beautiful man who I have been in love with since...well, forever. Sebastian King - a badly-damaged individual who has chosen to inflict his pain on others (he and I definitely need to talk!). David Stadman (see as for Keith Moon, above). Joseph, the central character of "A Whispered Name" (see above) and just love him for his heroism. Finally, Holden Caulfield from "Catcher In The Rye" to tell him to just grow up and get on with it!

Qu 8: Name three annoying things that people do and you hate. Just the three?!? Well, up the top there must be a)sniffing/snorting (use a tissue!) b)drop litter c)mumble (pardon?)

Qu 9: What country or city do you dream of living in? I am originally from London with family still there to go and stay with when I want and I'm now living in the beautiful Brecon Beacons of South Wales so I'd say I've pretty much nailed that one.

Qu 10: Do you believe in ghosts? I believe in spirits buut I don't think they are the same thing.

Qu 11: What is the most beautiful thing that you have ever seen? My daughter, who nearly died during birth, safe and well when she came out of her incubator.

NEW QUESTIONS

Qu 1: What's the most outrageous/embarrassing thing that you've ever done?

Qu 2: What's your favourite film and why? (Prettty standard question I know but I think you can tell so much about a person by their answer to this one!)

Qu 3: What one piece of advice would you choose to give to your child?

Qu 4: What's the best experience you've ever had?

Qu 5: What's the worst experience you've ever had?

Qu 6: If you could pass one universal law for the whole of the world, what would it be?

Qu 7: What is your guiltiest pleasure?

Qu 8: Who is your best friend and why?

Qu 9: Name three things that you would put into Room 101 (i.e. pet hates)

Qu 10: What is your greatest ambition?

Qu 11: Have you ever found a book/film that has actually got better after a disappointing start i.e. three chapters/twenty minutes?
