100 Questions Tag

In Which We Explore My Need to Overshare

I love quizzes, and questionnaires. I literally love them. I am so fucking narcissistic that I fill them out all the time. And I just discovered the 100 questions tag, and I thought I might upload my answers to that.

1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed. For two reasons. One, I stuck a massive mirror on the inside of one door, and so it kind of creeps me out a little when I walk back to my bed after turning off the light, when I see someone walking towards me. Two, because I would walk into the doors first thing in the morning before I am properly awake.

2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
Yes! (Don't say they're bad quality. They're amazing. Because they're free.) The fact that they smell different to my normal shampoo really excites me. Is that bad? Maybe...

3. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Tucked in. Because otherwise a monster would hide under my bed and eat me while I slept.

4. Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
No...

5. Do you like to use post-it notes?
I have no strong opinions on using post it notes. I use whatever scraps of paper are lying around and I write lists on them, but normal paper works, too. The cute ones though, or the ones with writing are definitely amazing and I stick them to everything.

6. Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?
Not really. I don't cut out coupons...

7. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?
Despite the fact that Ruby Redfort warned me that if I met a bear, the one thing I should do is "wish I hadn't", the idea of being ripped to shreds sounds nicer to me than being stung and poisoned to death by bees. I mean if it came to it. I'd rather have neither.

8. Do you have freckles?
Nope.

9. Do you always smile for pictures?
Nope, sometimes I pull a funny face or I'll be the awkward emo kid in the corner who didn't know she was in the picture.

10. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Not shutting doors properly. Pushed to is not shut!

11. Do you ever count your steps when you walk?
Yes, occasionally on big hills.

12. Have you ever peed in the woods?
As a child, yes, because we used to do this five to six hour walk around the coast in Northern Spain and we always got lost. So once.

13. What about pooped in the woods?
No.

14. Do you ever dance even if there's no music playing?
Yes, I'm a ballet dancer so I constantly dance to work things out. But I only dance dance if I am listening to music.

15. Do you chew your pens and pencils?
Yes. All the time. Everything. It's really bad.

None, I'm fourteen...

17. What size is your bed?
Single.

18. What is your Song of the week?
Grow Up by Paramore.

19. Is it okay for guys to wear pink?
Why would it not be okay, sorry? Colours have no predetermined gender. In fact, baby boys used to wear pink as it was considered more stereotypically male than female anyway, proving that the prejudices we have to day are just as arbitrary as those we used to have.

20. Do you still watch cartoons?
The Simpsons, Ben 10: Alien Force (very occasionally).

On the second story of my house. (I would try, anyway.)

Orange juice, with bits, please. Occasionally Innocent's banana and strawberry smoothie, that's very moreish. And water.

24. What do you dip a chicken nugget in?
Tomato ketchup.

25. What is your favorite food?
Probably pizza. If I have to make the ultimate pizza, it would have pepperoni, black olives, mushrooms, ham and pineapple.

26. What movies could you watch over and over and still love?
Spiderman, Spiderman 2 (god, we DO NOT talk about Spiderman 3), and also Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I love that film.

27. Last person you kissed/kissed you?
My hamster. Probably. If not, it might have been a member of my ex rugby team during a dare.

28. Were you ever a boy/girl scout?
I was a Rainbow, a Brownie - then I left Brownies because they were shoving God down my throat on a weekly basis.

29. Would you ever strip or pose nude in a magazine?
I don't think so.

41. Do you have any magazine subscriptions?
No, I'm quite committed to buying Kerrang! magazine when I can afford it, and online I am subscribed to Jump!mag, and Rookie, but apart from that...

Yes.

I do. Especially before whoever I am getting in the car with has got in, because the acoustics are so good. If other people are in the car, then it depends.

Hells yeah.

No...I have no coordination - I would fall over on a bar of soap and probably break my face.

How do you dance in a car?

50. Ever used a gun?

Of course I have. But I cry all the time. I cried the other day over the end of Frankenweenie, because it was so damn cute!

No, I don't. I like flicking through them at car book sales though.

I don't think so, but I've really liked people in relationships. Maybe that is all that love is, but I don't know.

78. Who would you like to see in concert?
