I’m gonna tag capns, benshread, thisisnotapuppylove-ctfan, spoiled-earth, doyouseedeadpeople, smartietubesoncatslegs, satans-electronics, a-hero-can-be--anyone, teflonly, and last but not least: pinsir

Ok so this is the thing: Using only song names from one artist/band, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to 10 people. Try not to repeat a song title. It’s a lot harder than you think!

Pick Your Artist/Band: Panic! At The Disco ❣

Rule One: Always post the rules.

Rule Two: Answer the questions asked by your tagger and ask eleven more.

Rule Three: Tag eleven people and link them to this post.

Rule Four: Actually tell them you tagged them.

I was tagged by castiet (or Annie as she's known in certain circles)

top button done up or undone? - Undone, always. I like necklaces and collarbones and I don't like my neck being constricted or rubbed.

your opinion on socks with individual toes? - MY feelings are generally bewilderment? I don't think  I'd like how they felt though, my toes would be like WHY IS MY FREEDOM BEEN REVOKED AGH FASCISM

five years ago, did you think your life would be how it is now? - Fuck no, not at all. 5 years ago I was in year 9, I'd only just accepted the concept of wearing makeup regularly. I would not have predicted a barista job, the A-levels I was taking, or my boyfriend. Like, AT ALL. I think I might have decided I wanted to be a psychologist by then, but i'm not even sure of that. FUCK, I don't know that me and Jen had even been proper besties for too long at that point.

anything you’re feeling guilty about right now? - not right now, really. I should probablyb e reading my cognitive psych book? That's about it though.

what would your perfect day entail? - Pancakes with like maple syrup and blueberries and stuff for breakfast, good coffee, spending time with my boyfriend all morning, just like going for a walk somewhere gorgeous in the sunshine and making out and stuff, meeting my friends  for lunch somewhere, hanging out with them all afternoon movie marathoning or chilling, then chinese for dinner and going to the pub or a house party or something in the evening. That'd be fab please

favourite month of the year? - I fucking love  October because birthday and academia will have started but it isn't properly underway and you can wear jumpers but it isn't like super freezing. Or July? I'm really liking July right now.

childhood favourite film? - I used to LOVE Hocus Pocus. And I could probably recite all the Scooby Doo movies word for word but my favourites would have been the one with the warlock and the Hex Girls because THE HEX GIRLS <3 or the one with the aliens where Shaggy falls for that hippy girl and sings a song about how groovy their wedding would be. I'm not bragging but I reckon I could sing a lot of that song off by heart still. 'I'm in romance, she's wearing bell-bottom pants...' 

cats or dogs? - Cats, although I really like dogs too. It's just that I love pretty much all cats but I only really want to own about halfp of all dogs.

what makes you notice a person? - Intelligence, passion and sarcasm are pretty much essentials. I notice people who are just generally lovely as well, that's always good.

a recurring nightmare? - I used to have this one when I was little that I literally had once a year, and my school would be taken over by like supernatural beings like ghosts and vampires and stuff and become Ghoul School (which was another great Scooby Doo movie fyi). I don't think I really have one anymore though?

whats your creative outlet? (painting, poetry, music etc - I write poetry but very erratically, it tends to be when I'm trying to make sense of something, and the way I seem to do that it with poetic phrasing. Or if something has just been building and building inside me and it just boils over in embarrassingly emotional poems that everyone knows full well what the inspiration for was. I sing constantly but I don't know if that's artistic. 

Annie those were legitimately really good questions, fuck. My comparitively shit questions:

1. What never fails to make you laugh?

2. Describe your blog in three words

3. Is there anyone in your life that you think will be there in 5 years time?

4. Favourite male musician

5. Favourite female musician

6. Favourite piece of art (as in painting/drawing/sculpture)

7. What makes you really really uncomfortable?

8. Favourite hot drink?

9. An item you've had since childhood

Did this one last so the others got to be answered too, and Ben's weird topless profile picture is making me uncomfortable so there answers might be short :L

cheers though bro, in a shite mood, needed this.

Daisy: How old were you when you had your first kiss? - 16, JUST. I just succumbed to some creep from my chemistry class who grabbed me by the waist at a 6th form social. It was a week until my 17th birthday and it really got me down that I'd never been kissed, so I was like 'meh, cool.' He had a helicopter tho #golddiggerCarnation: If I handed you a concert ticket right now, who would you want to be the performer? - THE ARCTIC MONKEYS PLS. I am also completely in love with the Noisettes right now, and Marina looks like she's really fun to see live.Jasmine: What color looks best on you? - Most shades of blue, because I have blue eyes and blonde hair and I'm pale and it just WORKS. I'm a fan of purple too though.Foxglove: Name three facts about your family? -

My dad is a deeply irreverent chef in Cardiff called Gethin and I love him pretty much more than anyone else ever.

My little cousin Finlay is a big fan of me, to the point where I rarely see him, but sometimes he just tells my grandparents that he really really loves me, out of the blue. It's GREAT.

My uncle died like a month ago and my dad's side of the family are all kind of broken right now. So that's shitty and I feel horrible for them.

Allium: What's the best thing you can cook? - HA basically nothing. I am not a good cook at all, I have never really tried. My cupcakes aren't bad, but that's more baking, isn't it? Orange Blossom: If you could pick the gender and appearance of your child, would you? - Nope, not at all. Whatever you do they're going to go through a phase of hating what they look like, I really wouldn't want to be responsible for that. Like, I think dark eyed auburn children are the cutest things on the world, but I would never interfere. they're my kids, I'll love them whateverPoinsettia: Favourite holiday dish? -  took me a while to realise this meant as in Christmas :L My dad always makes me Mushroom Wellington and it is SO NICE, so that.Oxlip: Would you ever get into a long distance relationship? - that is genuinely the plan next year. 7 hours between Edinburgh, where my boyfriend is going to uni, and Cardiff, where I am going. SUPER YAY.Primrose: Favourite kind of soup? - I REALLY like carrot and coriander? I haven't actually had many kinds of soup, though. #unculturedDaffodil: What's the most thoughtful present you've ever received? - My dad also once bought me an actual big present of my choosing when I saw him, but on my birthday sent me a package of sweets and a card with 'The Seal of Approval' on it. As in, an actual seal saying "You look lovely today!" It was amazing.Rose: Are you currently in love with someone? - YES :) Peony: What's your favorite hot beverage? - fucking MOCHA <3 with hazelnut syrup. Heaven, oh my god. Also love me some chai tea.Tulip: For your birthday, what kind of cake do you ask for? - Chocolate marble cake. Next year I'll beg dad to make me a black forest gateaux because I'll be in The 'Diff with him.Myrtle: Do you like going on airplanes? - I've only been on two, but yeah, it's sort of nice.Hibiscus: Did you ever play an instrument? If so what? - Nope. I have a grade 3 in singing, but that was 2 years ago and my voice is completely dead, I've become a shit singer and it sucks.Zinnia: Who was your best friend when you were six years old? - I think it was either Grace or Rozzie. I don't speak to either any more/Poppy: What colour was your childhood home? - the actual house? Like, red brick.Hydrangea: Starbucks order? - I'd like to tell you that my starbucks order was fuck off (I work at Costa)... But no, it's a skinny chocolate chip iced mocha. Or a chai tea.Rhododendron: What's the scariest dream you've ever had? - i had this weird fever nightmare when I was really young that involved loads of weird shit, but one of the motifs was dirty string, and to this day I can't deal with dirty string, it makes me feel ill.Queen Anne's Lace: Would you rather carve pumpkins or wrap presents? - Carve pumpkins? I'm not amazing at either, but the smell of pumpkin is great.Magnolia: Favourite kind of candy? - Magic stars or palmer violets.Aster: Would you rather be cold or hot? - Cold? I like cosy drinks and snuggling and jumpers. and i live in Britain, I've had to trick myself into liking the cold.

Marigold: Do you listen to what's on the radio? - Never ever, I just can't be bothered really. I've got 8tracks, my iPod and youtube, that covers my musical cravings.Heliconia: Do you like when it rains? - I really do, actually. Although mainly when I'm indoors :L I don't mind light rain, but I hate rain when I'm on my way to something I'm already not looking forward to, like work or school.Azalea: What's a movie you cried while watching? - The final speech of the Glass Man (I don't remember his real name) in Amelie always get me, oh my god.Dandelion: Do you think you're important? - Not in the grand scheme of things. I'd like to be important to the people that are important to me though, it's nice to feel valid and needed.

BEN I’VE GOT SHIT TO DO OMG.

6. What kind of people are you attracted to? - Passionate, witty people. Not sure if I have a physical type… Taller than me is preferable, as is a few things in common so I can fangirl with them. I don’t know, in a weird stage of not quite knowing what I want right now. Confidence is usually attractive.
