1. Talk about the first time you watched your favorite moviei can never ever choose just one favourite movie, so i’ll tell you about the first time i watched one of my favourite movies. the first time i watched Blade Runner was actually at school in my year 11 english class, we did a unit comparing Blade Runner to Frankenstein and looked at themes of man playing God and defying nature and all that good stuff. i freaking loved that unit (one of the only times i actually enjoyed Advanced English and if i have any NSW followers who have done the HSC you know what i’m talking about because fucking Belonging honestly) anyway, so we watched Blade Runner over a couple of english periods and i was completely entranced and i went home and watched the whole thing online after that first lesson because I COULDN’T FUCKING WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW ARE YOU KIDDING ME and everyone else in my class hated it (i really don’t blame them, Advanced English made even the most interesting of topics absolutely excruciating) and were grumbling under their breath and i was sitting on the edge of my seat and whacking all my friends with my ruler because i wanted to hear what was happening and they needed to shut up.

14. Talk about a vacationmy parents have always worked full-time jobs, and the amount of vacation time they got each year was never as much as the amount of school holidays. so when i was younger and my brothers and i were still in school we used to have one big family beach vacation over two weeks in the october school holidays each year and the rest of the time mum and dad would take their vacation days separately so that at least one of them was home with us during the holidays as much as possible. and because of this we used to have heaps of little ‘mini-vacations’ with either mum or dad while the other parent stayed home and worked. i freaking loved these mini-vacations. we drove someplace far away and we stayed in pokey little motels and we visited tiny, dusty museums or hiked through national forests or explored underground cave systems. we never stayed away too long, 3 or 4 days, a week at most, and they were never glamorous in the least, but me and my brothers always had an absolute ball. one time my dad took us to Dubbo (there has never been a more australian town) and we visited Western Plains Zoo which is so massive that we rented bikes to ride around it. so we spent the day riding around in the sun and seeing all the animals and stopping to eat burgers on a picnic table under a tree and it was the most magical freaking day let me tell you. another year my mum took my younger brother and i to tasmania and we saw snow for the first time on top of Mount Wellington and spent hours at the Salamanca Place markets and did the Tahune Forest AirWalk and it’s still one of my favourite vacations to date. 

38. Talk about songs that remind you of certain peoplefor me songs have always held really strong memories, but for some reason they’re never of people. like i can tell you exactly where i was and what i was doing and how i was feeling the first time i listened to each of One Direction’s albums, but i don’t think i even have one single song that makes me think of a person when i hear it. Ed Sheeran’s first album is so super strongly linked to spending easter in switzerland with my german host family, National Anthem and Blue Jeans by Lana del Rey remind me of serbia, Hoodie Allen means milan, and Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit might as well be the English national anthem as far as i’m concerned.
