25 Question Series: The Finale

Hey everybody!

So, this is my first "proper post" since my return, so I figured I may as well start off with tying up a loose end! I've got nothing witty to say so I may as well just hop straight in!

76) What do you label yourself as? A human. I strongly dislike labels.

77) Who would you really like to punch in the face? Katie Hopkins springs to mind?

78) If anyone could be your slave for a day, who would it be and what would they do? Amy would be my slave, mainly because it's about time she changes the film we watch on Netflix instead of me. She'd just do little things like pass me my cup of tea.

79) What was your last dream about? Ha. I (somehow) managed to get Harrison Koisser's number and rang him because I was angry that I'd ran out of maple syrup.

80) What's the colour of your socks? They're black with white stars on them and a red spiky bubble thing saying "BOOM!" on it. They're my favourite socks.

81) If you could breed two animals together to defy the laws of nature, what new animal would you create? Don't platypus' already defy the laws of nature? Or are they just weird? I don't know, I'd probably try to make some sort of mythical creature, maybe a lion and an eagle to try and make a sphinx? Bit dangerous.

82) Can you do any other accents other than your own? Well I think so, but my Welsh friend doesn't seem to think my Welsh accent is very good. What's important is that I try, can't ask for more than that really.

83) What was the last thing that frustrated you? Just reading this question reignited my anger. I cannot for the life of me play an F chord on Frederick (my guitar.) I am determined to play that bloody chord.

84) What is your favourite Disney movie? Either Saving Mr Banks, Mulan or The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

85) Do you think children should be sheltered from unhappiness? Although not permanent, unhappiness is inevitable. You can attempt to shelter a child from unhappiness, but that's near enough impossible. I think it's important to let children explore the world and there are different risks in doing that. Your child may be unhappy if you make them brush their teeth before bed, that doesn't mean you're going to just let them off with not brushing their teeth.

86) Do you have a dream journal? No, I don't. I used to keep one when I was obsessed with Twilight in whatever year it was, but that didn't last very long. I tend to just talk to my friends now if I have an odd dream (like last night's.)

87) What does your name mean? Oh...I'll have to Google this. Apparently it means "Pledged to God" which seems fairly underwhelming, I was expecting something like "The almighty".

88) Are you usually late, early or right on time? Well, I usually have every intention of being early, but I tend to be right on time or on the odd occasion late.

89) Name three things in nature your find the most beautiful: Sunsets/rises, I would say the sea but I'll just say water anyway (because I quite like it when it rains) and lightning, because as much as it freaks me out it's rather mesmerising.

90) What would you happily do again? Go to Boardmasters! I went with two friends this year and we're already planning on going again next year!

91) Do you like to shop? Quite recently, yes. I think it's because I have more of a solid idea of what I like and what suits me (clothes wise) so I sort of look forward to shopping for clothes now. As far as food shopping goes, it's not really the most entertaining of activities, is it?

92) What's the first thing you do in the morning? Check my phone. I have a habit of falling asleep half way through conversations. Oops.

93) Do you think people are basically bad or basically good? Human nature comes with more than just "bad" and "good" and each person has a slightly different idea of what's "good" or "bad" so who knows, eh!

94) Have you ever been to Legoland? Yes and it was AWESOME.

95) What's the last thing you took a picture of? I took a photo of some polaroids I took at Boardmasters.

96) What's something you wear even in the shower? I have a ring my friend bought me quite a while ago from Sweden or Switzerland that I basically NEVER take off.

97) What's your favourite topic in history? I quite liked the Nazi Germany module. I'd like to learn about ancient Greece but I don't think it's part of the GCSE.

98) Have you ever burnt yourself? Yes, on hair straighteners when I was getting ready to perform with Olli. My finger blistered and it felt really weird.

99) What's the best thing you ever did for your parents? I used to write them poems illustrate them for their birthdays, fathers day and mothers day etc.

100) What's the most creative thing you've ever done? Well, I don't know to be perfectly honest. I have a habit of hearing/seeing/smelling something and then getting a really vivid image that I feel could be a part of a film. It's like my eyes are a really low-tech video camera and I'm just living for good angles, especially when it comes to car rides and stuff like that.


And that, my fellow friends of the interweb, concludes the 25 Question Series. I shall leave you with my favourite song this month Flame by Sundara Karma.

Until next time,

25 Question series 0.3

Hello fellow friends of the internet! I apologise for my unscheduled absence, however do not fret for I am back! I'm planning on writing a few blog posts today and posting them later on in the week (just in case I get a bit busy and don't actually have time to post anything) AND it's my birthday in 8 days, so expect a post that has something to do with that! Now without further ado, on with the questions!

51) What is your heritage? I like this question! My great grandfather was Scottish, my great grandmother was Greek, at some point a family member was Irish...But mainly I'm English.

52) What's a song that always makes you happy when you hear it? Currently Vertigo by Mini Mansions ft. Alex Turner I find it rather calming and that makes me happy I do suppose!

53) Can insanity bring on more creativity? I like to think that, I myself, am a bit insane! So yes, I think a little insanity can bring on creativity.

54) What is your current desktop picture? This embarrasses me but since I've been away for so long I think I deserve public embarrassment. I'm a massive fangirl as I've mentioned previously and I thought it would be a good idea to get a collection of photos from things I like and create some sort of collage. It would be cool if I did it well and used some sort of snazzy editing software probably, but I used Paint. Here it is:

Please try to remember that I was young(er) when I made this and I need to make a new one soon!

55) Have you ever thrown up in the car? Yes I have, oddly enough the only thing I remember from a specific experience is being irritated at myself for throwing up all over my then favourite pair of jeans.

56) Have you ever met any celebrities? I've met Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell from Eastenders) but most people from my area seem to have met him. I've met many the celebrity in Libby Land though (if that counts, which it does.)

57) Do you cry and throw a fit until you get your own way? No, that sounds like it takes a lot of energy that I'd quite frankly rather conserve for something more important like taking over the world.

58) Who would you like to see in concert? Arctic Monkeys without a doubt.

59) Ever had a weird deja-vu moment? Yes, I often even have deja-vu inception moments where I'm having deja-vu of deja-vu.

60) What did you want to be when you were younger? Well: A fashion designer, a singer, an actress, a doctor, an author and once an Olympic athlete. Which is HILARIOUS to anyone who knows me well because I refuse to run.

61) Do you find Christmas stressful? Well, not really directly stressful because to be honest, I don't do much but everybody else stressing about it tends to give me secondary stress.

62) Do you think musicals are cheesy? Some can be I suppose, but I love musicals!

63) Do you dance in the car? I remember coming up with dance routines with my brothers in the car but they were strictly waist up dance moves.

64) Are you afraid of heights? I don't actually think I'm afraid of heights per say, I mean if I'm on something high my first reaction isn't "It's so high I'm scared" it's more of a "If I make one wrong move I will fall. And die." so I'd say I'm afraid of falling.

65) How many languages can you speak? Well, A very limited amount of Spanish, French and German! When I say very limited I mean VERY limited.

66) When you were younger what did you dress up for at Halloween? I do believe it tended to be a witch. I've never been trick-or-treating though and Halloween is my least favourite time of the year.

67) Are you lazy? It depends on the task and my mind set at the time!

68) When was the last time you wrote a letter to somebody on paper? Sometime last week for my English mock I think!

69) What films could you watch over and over again and still watch? The Lord of The Rings/The Hobbit trilogy, both Bridget Jones films and maybe a few Disney films like The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

70) What's your favourite food? Melon or ice cream. So much so, I've requested that I get both of these things for my birthday.

71) Where would you bury treasure if you had some? I don't know...In the Louvre? Thinking back to The Divinci Code.

72) What's your least favourite movie? I'm not sure I can think of one. I was a bit dissapointed with Transcendence. Sometimes I've just got to rewatch films to make sure I'm actually paying attention though.

73) Do you still watch cartoons? Yes, Cartoon Network is an important part of my world.

74) How do you feel about surprises? Well, I dislike not knowing things, however I also think surprises are a nice thing to look forward too if they're a gift etc.

75) What makes you laugh the most? Well, my inside jokes with my close friends (specifically Amy) and as of late, this:

Yes, this is my screensaver.

That's all for now my fellow friends of the internet! I shall leave you with todays song of the post: When The Sun Goes Down by Arctic Monkeys

Until next time!

25 Question Series 0.2

Hello again fellow friends of the internet! I'm here with part two of my 25 question series! I'm not going to blab on about insignificant things like....I dunno, unicorns on envelopes or friends singing whilst you're Skyping them and trying to concentrate on writing (you know who you are.) I ended up babbling anyway so I'm gonna hop right into the questions!

26) Ever had a poem or song written about you? I don't think so...Ideally yes!

27) Ever stuck a foreign object up your nose? Before I answer I'd like to say that I have two younger brothers and they heavily influence my actions. Yes, I have, yanno when you stick things like straws or bread sticks up your nose? Yep...

28) What's your religion? I am agnostic? I think that's the correct term? Either agnostic or atheist. To be honest, personally it's not a priority to me and I don't spend much time thinking about it so I'm not 100% sure.

29) Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it? Well, it depends on the situation. I'm taking Drama as a GCSE and sometimes that means being recorded whilst performing which I don't mind. I equally don't mind recording things. However, if it was for something like a Youtube channel I'd feel totally out of my comfort zone!

30) Simple but extremely complex, favourite band? Well, judging by my most played songs, I'd have to say Arctic Monkeys.

31) What was the last lie I told? The answer to this question.

32) Do you believe in karma? Ummm...Much like the religion question, I'm not that sure because I've not put much thought into it!

33) What does your URL mean? I wanted my URL to be "Is it just me" but was unable to, so I thought to have the title of my blog be "Is it just me" and then have the URL as "or do we all" so it sort of acts like an inside joke and a continuation of the title.

34) What's your greatest weakness and your greatest strength? I wish I had a clearer idea so I could properly answer this question but I'm very over crytical of myself so I tend to think I have more weakness' than strengths. I think my greatest weakness is my inability to say no to opportunities. If someone offers me an assembly slot or a job to do I'll probably say yes just because I can't say no. As far as greatest strength goes, I think I'm very determined. If there's something I 100% want to do or if I make a promise to help someone with something, chances are I'll do it!

35) Do you prefer talking to people on the phone or on Skype?  Well, I tend to have bad signal on my phone so I'd say I  probably prefer Skype.

36) Are you happy with the person you've become? Ohh, a deep and meaningful question! Well, in a certain sense yes. I think that I've grown to understand certain things and I've experienced a lot more.

37) What's your biggest "What if?" Probably something like "what if I'm shopping and I start getting bombed?" Terrorism is a very real thing and it honestly scares me.

38) Do you believe in ghosts? How about aliens? Um, I've heard stories from family members about ghost encounters and I think that the universe is too big to just have one tiny planet full of humans on it.

39) Smell the air. What do you smell? I can smell my vanilla frosting Yankee candle. I adore the smell of vanilla.

40) What's the worst place you've ever been to? I have a love hate relationship with London. I love to go there there but it's so packed and there are so many people.

41) To you, what is the meaning of life? There is no meaning. You can't put a stamp on something like life. Life in it's entirety means so many different things depending on the person.

42) Define art. Not a question per say but art is a creative outlet, I do suppose. Art is indefinable.

43) Do you believe in luck? No, I don't think so. The universe is rarely that lazy. (Whoever knows where that quote's from gets a cake.)

44) What time is it? It is currently 4:42pm.

45) What was the last book you read? Well technically the last book I read was Of Mice and Men but that was for English. Otherwise it may have been Bear Grylls' autobiography or Miranda Hart's "Is It Just Me?"

46) What's the worse injury you've ever had?  I don't do anything so it's difficult for me to get hurt. I over extended my finger playing netball once and had my lower leg in a cast for a few weeks, so one of those two probably!

47) Have you ever caught a butterfly? Yes I do believe so! Or it may have been a moth...Not sure but I caught something with wings.

48) Do you have any obsessions right now? I'm currently obsessed with Top Gear specials and Bridget Jones Diary (Hence the Richard Hammond thing.)

49) Ever had a rumor spread about you? Probably! But I don't pay the faintest bit of attention to them!

50) Do you believe in magic? I have to say yes to please my inner child.

That's all for now my fellow friends of the internet! I shall leave you with my song of the post: Don't You Want Me by The Human League
