Right, here we go. I was tagged by @recycledstars.

The rules are: answer the questions given by the person who tagged you, write 11 questions of your own, tag 11 people. (if y’all wanna tag me back that’s cool, I like answering questions!)

what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? African or European? 

what was the last book your read? would you recommend it? if not, what’s the last book you read that you loved? I am currently reading the Ruth Galloway novels by Elly Griffiths. I have read them all before, and I quite like them. They’re not terribly deep, just pop/mystery/thriller type books, but they’re quirky and fun and engaging enough to keep my mind off other less fun things I could be thinking about. 

favourite line from your favourite poem? “i  carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)” from “i carry your heart” by ee cummings, because I am a) a hopeless romantic and b) just crazy about cummings’s style.

have you ever been in love? discuss. I have. I am. I will be. It was not enough.

what is something you’ve done that you regret? oooh Lord you’re going with the heavy ones here aren’t you? there’s a million little social interactions things that keep me up at night, but there was this one friendship, that could have become more, that I let die because I was selfish and not thinking clearly. I regret losing contact with this girl, and Facebook keeps throwing up old pictures of us together every day thanks to Timehop, so that’s fun. I do wish I had tried harder to keep that friendship together. 

if you were personally responsible for naming 8 new “wonders of the world”, what would one of them be? (or all 8, if you feel like it.) Um. The Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. The art, architecture, and history of that building are quite simply astounding. 

outdoors or indoors person? and what is your favourite thing to do in either of those places? I’m a lowkey outdoors person. My favorite thing in the world is waking up early on Saturday mornings and sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee, that feeling of peace and possibility is indescribable. My second favorite thing is getting drunk around a campfire at night. But please don’t make me go hiking. I’ll do it, but I won’t thank you for it.

space, the final frontier. if you could go to space, would you? that’s a hard nope. Space is fascinating and terrifying and I have enough trouble dealing with my insignificance in the grand scheme of things as it is, I don’t need to be confronted like that. 

you and me, at the bar, having a good time. “what’s your fave bevvy?” I ask. you (possibly not being australian) look confused: why the fuck do your people do this? you ask, why can’t you just say the end of a word? I can’t answer you on that one. ANYWAYS, what do you order? I would be concerned by your use of the word “bevvy” but I would let it slide, especially if you were buying. My drink of choice is gin & tonic.

describe the last date you went on. if you’ve never been on a date that’s a very respectable choice tbh. tell me a story about something better that you did instead. We went to Chili’s. We ordered drinks. We tried to pretend that everything was ok (it wasn’t). Then we went to Target and failed at the self-checkout. 

what two fictional characters didn’t kiss but should have? (e.g. myka and h.g.) what two fictional characters did kiss but shouldn’t have? (e.g. pete and myka???) Oooh this is a good one. Sam Carter and Jack O’Neill. We got a few kisses but they were either a) in an alternate universe and therefore did not count or b) “you won’t remember this in a few minutes so why not” or c) in a dream. I need some real Sam/Jack moments. (Myka and HG would have been my answer if you hadn’t already mentioned it tho). Shouldn’t have kissed? (Myka & Pete) Um did Will and Helen ever kiss? Because that is a thing that should never happen. I can’t remember what’s fanon and what’s canon any more Tumblr has ruined me. 

Ok my 11 questions are as follows:

1. If you could do any job for a day, what would it be?  2. If you could trade bodies with anyone (just bodies, not lives), who would it be? Why?  3. What was the last dream you had that you can remember? If you can’t remember any of your dreams, make it up (but make it a good one) 4. Give me all your feels about your OTP.  5. What’s one skill you don’t have that you wish you did?  6. What skill do you have that you’re proudest of?  7. What worries you most about the future? 8. What excites you most about the future?  9. What book/song/film has influenced you most? (pick one, or do all 3) 10. What’s your favorite place in the whole world? 11. Tell me about a show/film that makes you angry.

And I’m tagging:
