Answer the questions of the person that tagged you and write 11 new ones
Let them (the 11 tagged people) know you tagged them
1. If you had a restaurant, what type (of food) would it serve and what would you name your franchise?
It'd be pub grub, nothing too fancy and I'd call it "That Place" and the menu would be labelled "Things".
2. If you had to write your life's auto-biography, what would the title be?
I'd wanna quote one of the "Jake and Amir" sketches from collegehumor and call it something like "This is a public shaming of me" because I can imagine the contents would be rather embarassing.
3. If you could change one thing about your education system, what would it be and why?
The price of uni of course! It's too high!
4. What's the best book you've ever read?
Nooooooooo! Book? Singular? What? No! Just the one?!
Gah! I'll just pick one off of my long list... Royal Assassin by Robin Hobbs, it's the second in the Farseer trilogy, and my friend recommended them to me.
5. What is the one thing you cannot condone in a person? e.g. laziness, rudeness, etc.
Possibly a lack of respect. Be it for someone's opinion, someone's home, someone's values etc.
6. Do you like chocolate pretzels?
I don't think I've ever tried a pretzel.
7. Who is your favourite historical person and why?
Marcus Tullius Cicero. When I started studying Classical Civillisations at A-Level, his letters were the first things we read. He just whines. A lot. And he's completely over the top. And has a massive ego. And he's rather selfish. And in court cases he just goes on and on and on! But for all of those reasons I find him really funny? And in a strange way because of that he seems more human than other people I've studied who are more reserved in what they write in letters and things? And with his speeches, you can pick up a lot of rhetorical devices still used in persuasive writing today which is pretty cool.
8. Would you rather be the richest person in the world or have your dream job and be content in what you do?
Possibly the dream job one. Unless as a rich person I can pay my way into doing my dream job too in which case that. Both. Always both.
9. Audrey Hephburn or Marilyn Monroe?
Urr I don't really know too much about either so I don't have an opinion on it?
10. If you went to Hogwarts, which house do you think you'd belong to and why?
Ravenclaw I guess? Pottermore sorted me into it and it kinda makes sense? I'm used to focusing on learning?
11. Have you had a nice day today?
I haven't really done much today? Played some Skyrim? That was ok? I haven't got anything planned today either. I had a nice day yesterday though, I met up with an old school friend and we walked her dog around the beach and then went back to her new house and discussed school chums.
