I'm so incredibly busy but I don't know why I'm blogging. I have never done this sort of post before, but I guess there's a first time for everything.
What’s a question you’re
afraid to ask? To whom?
Are we going to change and become unable to find things to talk about?
What’s something you hide
about your personality?
I'm not just this boring, relatively awkward person - I'd like to think that I am opinionated, talkative and not boring superficial person. I just don't get the chance to show these things to people when we don't 'click' enough.
What’s something other
people think about you that you don’t
agree with?
These days people think I work really hard in everything. Though I wish I did, I don't work hard in a lot of things.
How do you deal with
criticism?
Not too well, especially if it's from family. But then, families stick together even though they are often the ones who see you at your worst. I'm human after all and I'm so full of flaws but I'm trying to improve on not taking everything so seriously and seeing a scenario from another person's view instead of being hot-headed.
What’s the sweetest thing
anyone’s ever done for
you?
There's been a lot of things. My lovely parents have done a lot of sweet things that any loving parents would do. Friends have also done some sweet things :) Just today my tutor (who is so incredibly full of awesomeness) gave a few people and me an owl to remind us that she'll always give a hoot about us. Such a small gesture, but so sweet and thoughtful. All together now: awwww! I love teachers like that.
What’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever done for someone?
One time last year it was raining in the afternoon and I saw this elderly guy who had mobility problems and was using a device that helped him to propel him forward. He didn't have an umbrella and I just held the umbrella over his head and let him get to his destination without getting wet.
What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you?
[what's up with the emphasis on 'sweet' questions?!]
Someone chooses me to be a godparent to their future kids.
I looooove kids. And their fat cheeks. Not to mention they are so nice to cuddle and hug :D
Below: cutest little girl I know. That adorable toothy smile! When I felt her little hands reaching out to hold my big hand... :)
Describe your favourite
texture.
Frothy. Love that texture on coffee, smoothies, Milo etc. SO NICE.
Post a photo/draw a
picture/write a poem (pick one) of a moment of personal significance.
They say I appeared
arms flailing, screaming, kicking
"It's a noisy girl."
:)
Which fictional character
would you most like to have lunch with and why?
Definitely the Doctor. He's had many adventures and I want to hear them all.
If you were an element on
the Periodic Table, which would you be and why?
Helium.
I like it because my sis told me a lame joke about it and it makes people laugh at your high pitched voice after.
You’re an Action Movie Hero.
What’s your weapon of choice and the line you scream when defeating your arch
enemy?
Weapon of choice: Magical wand (a la Harry Potter)
Signature line: Die, motherfucker.
What did you think about
before you fell asleep last night?
Hump Day is the worst.
What motivates you in
life?
The beckoning call of adventures, hope and the people I love.
What was something you
used to enjoy, but was ruined for you? What’s the story behind that?
Doctor Who. I used to be a hardcore fan and watched daily up to season 6, but then lack of time to do everything ruined it for me and it had to be sacrificed. I'm ashamed to admit that these days I spend a significant amount of time mindlessly watching endless
cliché dramas instead of getting back on track with this fabulous show.
Which mythological
creature are you most like? Why? And if you could be any mythological creature,
which would you want to be? Why?
Oooh I adore almost anything from Greek mythology, but I'd probably pick Pegasus. I'd love to be able to fly and meet awesome people whilst having the most fabulous adventures ever.
What’s something that
scares you about the future?
The loss of humanity, autocratic countries, exploitation in all forms, fascist dictators, environmental damage - a world that's not suitable for my future children and future generations.
Describe your dream
library.
The library would be aesthetically sublime and magnificent, housing 2000 books and more and there would be little robots to help me clean the dust and help me get books from hard-to-reach places. I'm a bibliophile.
A little like this.
Do you have any “rules”
about food?
I'm a picky eater and I have SO many rules for food.
1) Can't be spicy, too meaty, too sweet (*cough cough Max Brenner*)
2) No lamb, raw / rare meat, wasabi, weird parts of animals such as giblets or chicken feet or duck liver.
3) No bitter melon or pumpkin.
What’s your opinion on age
differences in relationships?
Shouldn't exceed 10 years.
Describe a time/event in
your life that you’re nostalgic for.
Childhood - the age of innocence.
I remember a great time when I was maybe 6 years old. It was a hot summer day and
my sis and I were eating a Drumstick ice cream cone in the car whilst my mum was driving us to the supermarket. Then I had the absolutely spiffing
ingenious idea of putting my cone outside the window to 'cool' it down against the wind. So there we were, putting our cones and sticking our heads outside the window, feeling the cool breeze. Then we get to the supermarket and got out of the car and saw ice cream splattered across the car doors and laughed our heads off.
Back in those days...
What is your ideal bed?
Why?
Single bed with two fat pillows and a slightly bouncy mattress and warm blankets.
