April 19th: And the rest

Like the title says, here's the the rest of the quiz I started last week that was too long to post all in one go.


Have you ever cried over someone?
Yes...

Do you have a grudge against anyone?
No, not right now.

Do people praise you for your looks?
Occasionally... no more than other people get complimented, I assume.

Did you fall for someone you shouldn’t?
I've never been in love, so I guess not.

Have you ever done something bad but you don’t regret?
I'm not really a bad girl. I've skipped the odd lesson or two (or three) and I tried a cigarette outside a nightclub and thought it was disgusting, but apart from that I am as boring as they come.

Do you like getting hurt?
Does anyone?

Does anyone hate you?
I hope not!

Did you slap anyone whose name starts with an “R”?
God, I can't remember all the people I've slapped! Haha no, I don't think so.

What hair color do you prefer?
On myself? I think I'll only ever be a brunette, because in addition to actually liking my hair colour, I think it would be quite difficult to dye as it's quite dark. I like ginger hair though, especially with green eyes.

If you can change anything about yourself, what is it?
Ooh, a difficult one. Hmm... I trust people very easily and that has let me down, because people let me down. I'll also be the one to change if the situation needs adapting.


Do you have issues with somebody in your school?
Nope!

Can you live without internet?
God no. Are you mad?

What’s the song that remind you of your special someone?
Come on, people, we've established that I don't have a "special someone"!

Are you good at holding back your tears?
Yes, if I have to.

Are you a crybaby?
No. I rarely cry - only occasionally at TV shows, frequently when I'm really angry (which is the most frustrating thing in the world) and almost never when I'm upset.

Have you ever experienced being hysterical?
Almost, I think.

Do you study hard?
Er, yes. Totally.

Have you ever sacrificed something important to you for someone you love?
Nothing big, I don't think.

Did you ever had a kiss under the moonlight?
Well, I've had many if you count being inside under the moonlight - oh, actually, there was one on the smoking terrace of a club, does that count?

Have you ever ridden a boat?
Many, many times!

Did you have an accident last year?
No, last year was awesome! I did my best to make it so and it was.

What kind of person are you?
I can be quite quiet, but only when I have to talk to large groups of people I don't know at once. I'm very friendly and I'm very loyal and I can also be quite loud if I'm excited/drunk/happy/with my closest friends. And especially if I'm all four.

Have you ever thought of killing someone?
No! That is a disturbing question.

Have you ever been jealous?
Yes, I can get quite jealous.

How can you prove your love to someone?
I say it a lot, but I'll also try and do things that let people know I'm thinking of them. I guess one example is that I wrote my mum a song for her birthday to let her know I wasn't leaving just because I was moving out and I think that was really the only way I could have let her know that, because my mum and I don't have the kind of relationship where we talk about things like that very often.

Who is the 6th person in your contacts?
Another person I used to go to school with called Annie.

Do you have any memories you want to erase?
I'm pretty sure everyone does.

Have you been hurt so bad that you can’t find words to explain how you feel?
I'm not the most eloquent of people when I speak, so I suppose so.

Do you have trust issues?
No, I don't think so.

Do you think all the pain is worth it?
Depends what kind of pain it is and what causes it.

Do you believe in the phrase “If it’s meant to be, it will be”?
Absolutely. I don't believe fate and destiny control your entire life, but I believe that they do control some areas of it, and that in the end we will end up where we're meant to be.

Have you ever thought “I already found my soulmate”?
I don't think soulmates have to be romantic, so yes, I know I have found my soulmate.

How do you look right now?
Pretty ridiculous, I'd imagine, since I've just got out of the bath and I'm sitting here with a towel on my head. And my body, before you start imagining things.

Do you believe that first true love never dies?
I believe that true love exists, but I don't know if I believe that it never dies. I'd like to think that everybody has a "one", but that would be a depressing thought if you somehow lost your "one", so I think you can fall in love with more than one person.

Have you found your true love?
No... but I'm sure he's out there somewhere.

What should you be doing right now?
A grammar assignment on the passive voice. Welcome to my exciting life.

Did you ever feel like you’re not good enough?
All the time when I was younger. But I've grown out of that now and now I know I only have to be good enough for myself.

April 12th: Another quiz

Oh, bloglings, you know how I love these question things. And these are a little less factual than the last ones - though it is incredibly long, so to avoid boring you all to death I might split it up and post it in two separate halves.

Okay, here goes.

Who was the last person you texted?
That would be Charlotte, discussing a particularly amusing episode of Modern Family.

When is your birthday?
April 23rd: Shakespeare's birth and death day and St. George's day. Always have to get that in there.

Who do you want to be with right now?
Cora, but alas, she's on a date. ;)

What sports do you play?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- oh. You're serious. Awkward.

Who is the first person in your contacts?
Some random person called Alice I went to school with.

What is your favorite song as of the moment?
"Jeg I Live" by Burhan G... I realise most of you probably don't know that song, but go YouTube it. It's my play-on-repeat-while-walking-to-uni song and it makes me happy everytime I hear it.

If you were stranded on an island, who do you wish to be with?
You don't know what you're asking right now. If I were stranded on a desert island and I could be with anyone in the world... hmm, David Tennant springs to mind... but I'd probably still choose to be with my friends. How sad. ;)

What do you feel right now?
Happy. I feel happy, as I do a lot at the moment, which is rather fabulous if you ask me.

What chocolate is your favorite?
Oh, woe is me! Such choice! But I do love Lindors.

How many boyfriends/girlfriends did you have?
How many boyfriends did I have when? Oh, if you're asking how many boyfriends I have had, then... I guess the answer is one. And a half. If you want to know how many real relationships I've had, the answer is more "yeah, right".

Why did you create a Tumblr account?
Yeah, this is another Tumblr quiz. I don't know; Becky and Charlotte both had it and I wanted to be able to stalk them. Sorry guys.


Where do you want to be right now?
I have too many favourite places to answer that one. I've been to too many amazing places.


When was the last time you cried? Why?
Sunday morning, because I was having a bit of a spaz about my parents and moving out and everything.

Are you happy?
Already said I was!

Who do you miss?
I miss my friends a lot now that I've moved out. And my family. And oh God, my cat!

If you were given a chance, would you like to have a different life?
...Strangely enough... no. I am actually happy with my own life.

What was the best thing you were given?
Well, you know you have a good life when you can't choose something because too many things spring to mind. My parents gave me Wicked tickets for Christmas once... that was pretty awesome. And Becky gave me The Grimmerie, which is the spellbook from Wicked (yeah, I'm a fan. Get over it). And Cora gave me a necklace with the words "mere end mit liv" engraved into it. Adorable.

Who was the last person who called you?
My parents. Almost two weeks ago. Alas, I have no friends.

What is your favorite dish?
I love me a good steak.

Who is your best friend?
Cora.

What is your biggest regret?
Umm...

Have you ever cheated on your partner?
Since that would involve me having a) a partner to cheat on and b) someone interested enough in me to offer me the opportunity to cheat, the answer to that is, predictably, no.

Though finding someone to cheat with probably wouldn't be that hard.

Who do you spend crazy moments with?
I've spent some of the craziest moments of my life with Zoe - remember those times before Octava, on the bed?

Who was the last person you hugged?
My mum.

What kind of music do you listen to?
Looooads of foreign music. But mainly pop, I guess, though I'm not really fussy.

Are you over your past?
This question sort of grates upon my inner prescriptivist, but I won't let her out now. This is no time for grammar geekiness.

I think so. It's taken long enough, but yes.

Who is the last person in your contacts?
Zoe's home number.

What kind of person do you want to date?
I'd like to date someone who could either sing and play either piano or guitar. My ideal guy is dark, kind of Spanish looking, and he should be able to take the initiative but not boss me around... but I have a feeling I'll end up with someone completely different.

Do you have troubles sleeping at night?
Sometimes. Alas.

From whom was the last text message you received?
May I just point out that I did not add the "from whom" in this question?

It was from a guy called Shane.

What do you prefer, jeans or skirt?
I am equally fond of both, but I wear jeans more simply because they're more convenient.

How’s your heart?
Health wise? Probably fine, I'd imagine, though I'd better stop eating so much chocolate if I want to keep it that way. Emotionally all's good too.

Did you ever have a girlfriend/boyfriend whose name starts with a “J”?
No, but I have kissed two people whose names start with a J. Possibly three people.

Do you like someone as of the moment?
Maybe.

What would you want to say to your latest ex-boyfriend?
"Latest" implies that I have a queue of ex-boyfriends just lining up to hear what I have to say. "Ex-boyfriend" implies that I had one in the first place.

Do you have any phobias?
Honestly read that as "do you have a penis?" then. The answer to that question is no, but I am scared of fire.

Did you try to change for a person?
Yes, but it didn't work.

What’s the nicest thing you've given to someone?
Apparently everything I've given to Cora is "the best present ever". :P

Would you go back to your previous relationship?
Again with the rubbing it in!

Name someone you can’t live without.
Cora.

Describe your dream wedding.
I haven't really given it that much thought, but it will involve an amazing wedding cake, an enormous meringue of a dress and a guy with whom I am very much in love (hopefully the feeling will be mutual). Oh, and all my best friends and family.

How many roses did you receive last Valentine’s?
Oh, loads. Piles and piles. There were so many I had to walk on them to get out of my driveway... after I'd moved the stacks of Valentine's cards stopping the door from opening.

Have you ever been kissed?
Um, yeah, pretty sure I have.

How long is your longest relationship?
About a month. Alas, it wasn't real. And the "half" relationship lasted about two months, but that wasn't really real either.

Do you regret your past?
No. Some of it wasn't particularly fun, but I don't think I'd be who I am today without it.

You'll see the rest of the questions soon enough. Have fun guys!

April 9th: Spain, rain and a couple of Danes

Apparently it's currently 20 degrees in the place in Spain I'm moving to in September. I, meanwhile, am sitting in an extremely cold room in Devon, which is supposed to be one of the warmest places in England, with hands like icebergs, procrastinating and watching the rain pissing it down outside.

I love my life.

Seriously though. In about two and half weeks' time, I will get to see Tarragona for the first time - I'm just popping over to Spain for the weekend, as you do - and I am, quite frankly, terrified. After my dad first suggested that I go and have a look around before I move there properly, I deliberated about it for three days. But I spent the nights that accompanied those three days lying awake getting nervous about it, which proved to me that I had to do it. If I hadn't, the nerves that I'm already feeling about making this trip would still be there in September, but a thousand times more intense, and I figure that anything I can do to make that transition a little less stressful is probably worth it. I mean, what if I hate it? Unlikely, but what if I do? Or what if... I don't know, just what if? There's really nothing to be nervous about, I know, but I am anyway. Maybe that's just me. But I wouldn't have gone to uni here in England without going and looking around it first, so this is technically a completely normal step.

Ironically, both the day I found out I was going to Spain and the day I found out I could stay for a year (rather than just a semester) were after I had been out with friends the night before and stumbled home at ridiculous times in the early hours of the morning. Both times I did an extremely active happy dance - for which my sleep deprived, alcohol riddled and mysteriously bruised body despised me greatly. Maybe I should go on nights out more often... they're clearly good luck for receiving good news the day after. Shame I'm never really in the mindset to celebrate it.

In other news, my birthday is in exactly two weeks - after Lauren's, which was last week, Zoe's, which is on Saturday, and Becky's, which is on the 19th. It feels strange to think that I only have one year and two weeks left of being a teenager - but then I can't really help feeling old these days, especially when I consider that my little brother is starting college this year and will, next year, be able to start learning to drive, and my cousin, whom I swear was about nine the last time I looked, is now embarking on her GCSEs. And we're at uni! We learned to drive and moved out and went to uni. It seems that the older you get, the faster life goes, and it's unnerving.

I suppose that was one of the reasons I decided to extend my stay in Spain to a year. Judging by how fast this academic year has gone, I would only just have settled in after a semester and then I'd have had to come home again. At least this way I'll have more time to soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere - and pick up some Spanish, which is an ambition of mine.

I'm going back to York the day before my birthday, but via Manchester airport to meet both Cora, who's staying with me for the week (and coming to Spain with me, yaaaay!) and Louise, my Danish friend from uni, whose plane (from the same airport as Cora's) arrives at almost exactly the same time. It mystifies me as to why two different airlines would fly from the same place to the same place at the same time, but there you go. But it's going to be amazing!

Hmm, another boring post. I seem to have misplaced my pretentious writer... oh well, I'm sure I'll locate her again soon enough.
