#cloudy's bollocks

Thank you lovely💖 sorry it's taken a while to respond I'm suddenly motivated to do some housekeeping in my ask box today😄

Five things I like about myself:

1. My sense of humour. It's sometimes dry, gross, dark and inappropriate but it's what I like and I'm not going to change.

2. I'm a pragmatic person. I like to problem solve and figure things out. Basically I like my big nerdy brain 🤓

3. My boobs. Love em! Best toys ever!

4. I'm fierce as fuck but also kind.

5. I make amazing cakes. Just saying 😋

Thank you @hidden-behind-the-fourth-wall for tagging me! I shall gladly play your game 💖

Name: Cath

Nickname: haha ohhh well... online it's mostly Cloudy. At work I'm Trunchy, after Miss Trunchbull. One woman doesn't like me all that much because she can't manipulate me so apparently that's what she calls me. I accept this and call myself Trunchy😂

Zodiac sign: Virgo. I'd say I'm a fairly typical Virgo. Anally retentive, analytical, loyal and self-sacrificing, and fairly smart and pragmatic.

Height: 5ft 7.

Languages spoken: English, Geordie. But I do know a good selection of obscenities in a variety of different languages from all around the world. I'd love to speak Tolkien's elvish but I only know a bit of that as written word only.

Nationality: British.

Favourite season: Autumn. It's the last hurrah before everything becomes bleak. I love the colours and that everything is cooling down after the summer. It feels like cosy days wrapped in a quilt with a nice cup of tea Ann's a good book while russet leaves fall from the trees.

Favourite flower: orchids are beautiful but I love sunflowers. When they grow huge they give me a bit of a shiver (don't know why) but I love the warmth of them and that the petals often look like they were stuck on a bit slap-dash.

Favourite scent: sandalwood and I also like orange flower.

Favourite colour: teal or plum.

Favourite animal: tough call because dragons aren't real lol if I could keep some I'd love to keep Dragon sea slugs. They dine on Portuguese man-o-war jellyfish and use the toxins from the stings to seeing their own prey. They're awesome and pretty.

Favourite fictional character: at the moment it's Bucky Barnes but overall I guess I'd have to say Gandalf. I love Tolkien and the grey pilgrim is naught but awesomeness.

Coffee, tea or hot chocolate: Tea. Though I do love coffee too avid hot chocolate. I drink way more tea.

Average hours sleep: I don't function well on less than 7 though I get anything from 3 to 12 depending on what's going on in my life.

Dogs or cats: I love all animals. I have a cat and would love a dog but I work shifts and a poor dog would go stir crazy locked in for up to 12 hours alone. It wouldn't be fair or right.

Number of blankets: it's cold right now. I have a winter quilt and a fluffy blanket. It's usually just a quilt but in the hottest part of summer its just a throw.

Dream trip: unrealistically I'd love to go to space or the moon. Realistically, I love the ornate nature of eastern culture so I'd love to go to China, Thailand and Japan.

Blog established; end of summer 2019 but I didn't start posting on it until maybe October 2019

114. I'm an itsy bitsy blog but I love all my followers, they're/ you're all fabulous 😍

Random fact: you know I love to write but I also like to paint. I'm not very talented but I paint occasionally when the urge takes me. I also am a crazy craft fiend. I have so many tools and whatnot for making things it's crazy. I even make my own costumes for parties and Halloween. One day I might be brave enough to cosplay. They last thing I made was a pair of Destiny sunbreaker warlock gauntlets.

Thank you for reading my 20 question babble. I'd like to hear from you guys, what your 20 answers will be. Anyone can play this - consider yourself tagged and get amongst. In the meantime I'll tag @jbbarnesnnoble @sergeantrosabellaswan @hoseokchild @sapphirescrolls @imanuglywombat

I was tagged by the badass @sapphirescrolls thank you babe <3

1. Do you make your bed?

Yes, I straighten my duvet lol  some days are ‘fuck it, I’ll do it later’ days though.  Those are the days where I’m a bed-dwelling hermit XD

2. What’s your favorite number?

3 oh, it’s the magic number...

3. What’s your job?

I’m an assistant manager.  You know thioe arse hole gaffers that make you do work... that’s me.

4. If you could, would you go back to school?

Yeah and no.  Yeah because I like learning things, and no because fuck a bunch of homework and exams, and paying a load of money.  I’m happy with the chemistry degree I currently don’t use, thank you very much.

5. Can you parallel park?

Yeah, and I’m very good at it too.  Apparently I have a man brain for shit like that and fixing things.

6. A job you had that might surprise people?

Hand job, maybe ;) 

7. Do you think aliens are real?

They certainly are.  Think of all of the planets orbiting all of the stars in all of the galaxies in this universe (there are 100 billion in the milky way.  If only 1 planet per galaxy could support life that’s 2 trillion planets that could support life.  Even if 0.01% of those that could support life, did support life, that would be 200 million planets with life.  200 million planets with potentially millions of different species of living things, just like we do.

Though I do have a theory that the little green/grey men that conspiracy theorists say visit us, are actually us from the future.  A future where we fucked the planet and live underground (hence pale skin and huge eyes) and they come as either tourists, to see the moments of Earth’s history that interest them (kinda like when you go to the penis museum in Reykjavik while on holiday there), or they come to try to change things.  It’s possible, right? lol

8. Can you drive a manual car?

Yes.  I wouldn’t have it any other way.

9. What’s your guilty pleasure?

Haha.  That implies I feel guilt for enjoying things.  I’d probably say writing smutty fanfiction.  For a long time I didn’t tell anyone I write fan fics let alone p0rny ones.  Now I give zero fucks.

10. Tattoos?

I have two, both tribal.  I want my oldest one covered over with something more feminine and a lot more me.

11. Favorite color?

Teal.  Though I am drawn to all shades of blue, most shades of purple, and black.

12. Things people do that drive you crazy?

Being wilfully ignorant - I don’t like idiots.  Chewing with their mouth open.  Being ask-holes - asking for advice then ignoring said advice only to complain about the result of not acting on the advice given.  People who act entitled and play the victim.

13. Any Phobias?

I don’t have anything that scares me to the point of incapacity.  I get a bit creeped out by the thought of holding snakes and spiders.  I will murder wasps on sight because of allergies.  If I have a bit of an upset tummy I stress about where the next bathroom will be - no one wants to have to admit they shat their pants, am I right?  But no, I think I’m good.

14. Favorite childhood sport?

Yeah it would have to be way back in my childhood because I’m certainly not sporty now, unless you count seeing how many biscuits you can dunk in your tea before it’s too cold to enjoy, a sport.

Netball.  I played netball for my high school team.

15. Do you talk to yourself?

Sometimes it’s the only way you’ll get good conversation ;)

16. What movie do you adore?

This question has actually given me a guilty pleasure I didn’t realise I had lol  Jupiter Ascending - love the film but everyone says it’s terrible.  OH well.

17. Do you like doing puzzles?

Yeah.  I’m quite a logical person and have an analytical brain.  I enjoy figuring shit out.

18. Favorite genres of music?

Rock, Indie, Metal.  My tastes are pretty eclectic.  I’ve got everything from Chopin to Slayer on my playlist.  One thing I don’t often like - house and garage.  Don’t like modern rap either.

19. Tea or coffee?

Tea.  I drink both but too much coffee and we get the bathroom problem outlined in #13

20. The first thing you remember you wanted to be when you grew up?

Oh jeez.  I dunno.  Pretty sure I wanted to be a unicorn at one point.  I mean that’s more feasible now with identity and gender fluidity.  Maybe I should revisit that, and then I can feel fabulous 24/7.  Do I feel a little roleplay coming on...

In terms of occupation, I think I wanted to be an astronaut.  I had an old second-hand telescope that I used to look at the moon through.  I still love astrophysics and astronomy, but now what I want to be is healthy and content.

To play along and answer this quiz with me, I would like to tag the following beautiful people:

Oh wow! hi! Thanks for letting me know you've enjoyed my Borderlands stuff. I must confess I've neglected borderlands on my tumblr, not many people seemed to enjoy that stuff over here so I stopped posting it. The good news is that I was only sharing it over here after the fact and all my Borderlands writing is on my AO3. Moondrops and Chasing Meteors are both complete over there, though I'm still updating The Captain and the Murdermaid at a very slow rate indeed.

If you're so inclined, feel free to check out my Poop Train Anecdotes on AO3 for all my Krieg/Maya works.

Hope this doesn’t sound annoying or rude in any way!!

Hey! Thank you very much, you've given me a smile today 😊

I don't know if you have checked out my works on AO3 at any point but I have more stuff over there than here (I'm a terrible person who keeps procrastinating on getting my stuff copied over). I think I'm up to chapter 20 or 21 over there.

If you are indeed all caught up over there, I do have a chapter I'm part way through writing. I don't want to spoil anything.

Honestly all writing is a struggle at moment and I'm also terrible for posting regularly. It's good to know people are still interested in reading so I'll do my best to get my brain back into gear for you.
