1.  A song that reminds you of your childhood

ohh, a lot of Russian pop songs of the early 00′s do, like, for example, Океан и три реки by Valery Meladze and ViaGra. I still unironically enjoy it :D 

10.  A song you’d want to dance with your partner to (or future partner)

I feel like Dancehall by Tribes would be a good choice for a slow dance.

She’s a striptease, real hard to please She’ll cheer you up, bring you to your knees She’s a movie star, fast sports car She’s a razor blade, she’ll take you far She’s the ocean’s cool, and your midnight ride She’s a devil’s church, and a preacher’s wife She’ll come right at you, real Cleopatra You take all you got, and you give it to her   

Did you see that lightning in the sky A window to my mind It leaves me hypnotized Somewhere better Did you feel that thunder hit last night A poison in my mind It leaves me hypnotized Somewhere better

22.  A song that makes you feel like you’re strolling through Ancient Greece living your best life

wool socks:  what’s something you look forward to in fall?

oh god the weather. i have a hard time with the summer heat, so the coolness of fall is a godsend. also, the cooler weather means that i am able to dress how i really love to dress, and dear lord i could go on and on about it!

scarves:  if you could only wear one outfit for the rest of your life what would it be?

hmmmm that’s hard because i really love fashion and trying out different kinds of looks, but i’ll just have to go with ‘ole faithful: black skinny jeans with a turtleneck and layered necklaces

the color orange:  do you have a specific song that reminds you of autumn? what is it?

cello suite no. 1 in g major always does it for me tbh. it always reminds me of sitting on a low wall outside of the building my next class is in with leaves all over the ground, drinking coffee, and listening to it wayyyy too loud, and waiting to go inside for lecture 

xoxo,

Where would I be without my sorrow.

Old Books: Do you read? If so, what’s your favourite book series?

I absolutely love reading but I don’t read much because my taste of books is always changing. Two years later I loved the Twilight saga and all the other fantasy genre books, but now they sound boring, or last year I tried to read Pride & Prejudice but it still stands on my shelf, unread. The thing is, I haven’t found my favourite genre so I don’t read as much as before. And my all-time-favourite series is Harry Potter!

Fae: Describe yourself as a fairy

Pale skin, curly dark hair and eyes that shine like molten gold on sunshine, pouty lips always curled into a smile, light and bright voice, long eyelashes batted shyly, a long, airy midnight blue dress and a silver tiara, lilac wings leaving golden and silver sparks as the fairy flies :)

Tealights: Describe a romantic date perfect for you

You and I go to an old bookstore, and then a low-light café, and while we’re waiting for our food & drink to come, we talk about themselves. I tell you about the novel I’ve been writing, and my characters, and you tell me about your love for learning new things, that you’ve always loved music, art, and history. I show you a photo of my cat, and you say that you’ve got two cats at home. Maybe we can go to my home after I drink white chocolate latte (for you, cappuccino), and I can teach you how to paint. We can paint and laugh and then watch the TV series I’ve been stuck on lately (perhaps Lost), and I can tell you the backstory because you’re like one season late. I walk you to the nearest bus stop and ask you which bus you’re getting on, and you tell me the number, and then you’re waving at me and I’m waving at you. You’ve got your dark blue trench coat on.

Thank you!

i. The Secret History by Donna Tartt

ii. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

iii. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

iv. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Haha, that was actually another reference to Good Omens: Newton’s car is called Dick Turpin, and he keeps hoping people would ask him why it is called like that. I honestly don’t remember why he called it Dick Turpin; Google says that when he was actually asked about this, he answered “because everywhere I go, I hold up traffic”. I am either not proficient enough in English or not knowledgeable enough about Dick Turpin to understand this joke.
