Thanks for also writing out the questions - I'm a lazy bitch ;)

Xylophone: I don't play an instrument. I used to have singing lessons and I got a grade 3 with merit, but that was a few years ago and I haven't practised so my vocal cords are in disrepair and whenever I properly try it's a bit embarrassing.

Yellow: My favourite colour is blue because usually it suits me :) I also like green and red. Christmas is a good time for me.

FUCK thank you. I'm almost at the end of Firefly and there's only one season and I CANNOT COPE WITH IT ENDING I AM FRAGILE.

1: Do you lick your lips? - I try not to, but yeah. I substitute it for chapstick or carmex where possible.2: Last reason you smiled? - Oli told me I was worth 12 goats via Annie's phone.3: Who was the first person to text you this morning? - Hmm... John? Possibly John.4: When was the last time you hugged someone? - Jack, when he left at like half 5.5: Have you had your birthday yet this year? - Nope, although my brain is still programmed to see a year as September - September, so I nearly typed yes. (My birthday's in October.)6: Has anything happened to you in the past month that made you really upset? - Nope7: Current music playing? - Nope, Firefly is paused. Theme's stuck in my head though.8: Is it usually easy for someone to make you smile? - I try quite hard but I am a smiley person you kind of.9: If you could change your eye color would you? - I think brown eyes are beautiful but I think my eyes seemd to be seen by most as my best feature so nope.10: Whose hoodie did you wear last? - Mine. I've been meaning to steal a boyfriend one but I haven't had the chance yet.11: How are you feeling at this exact moment in time? - Sleepy12: Will you be in bed within twenty minutes? - HA no13: Who was the last person to call you? - Jack to say he was coming over.14: Do you believe exes can really ever be “just friends”? - Yeah, although there's always going to be a slightly different dynamic.15: Did you have a good day today? - I did! Saw Jak after he'd spent 10 days in shanghai, bought a dress and shoes for a wedding I'm going to this Sunday, and watched my little brother sing songs in a national trust garden.17: Do you look at the keyboard when you type? I do, and I still fuck up a lot. I'm a really shitty typist.18: Will you be up before 7 am tomorrow? - Noooo, although I need to be up at half 7 I think, to straighten my little brother's hair for Mad Hair Day.18: Does anyone hate you? - There are people that I think don't like me much but I really hope no-one hates me19: Ever been close to dying? - Nope, never even broken a bone.20: Do you know anyone named Josh or Patrick? - I've known a Josh since high school, who's currently going out with my friend Ayse, and a Patrick at 6th form who looks like the lovechild of David Cameron and James May.

We have drunkenly cried over how emotional we are about each other. I love our relationship and him a lot.24: Would you rather go to Greece or France? - Greece? If I was offered the choice, because France is easy to get to and Greece's culture would be more different and interesting.25: What do you like to do on Saturday’s? - All of my socialising, but home but 1am because I work on Sundays.26: Have you ever broke someone’s heart or have been heart broken? - I fucking hope I've never broken anyone's heart... I wouldn't say my bheart had ever been broken? People have hurt me, but looking back it seems tiny. Like, I could be hurt so much more by the person I'm with now because the level of feeling is ridiculously greater.27: What do you like better: Dr. Pepper or Pepsi? - Dr Pepper <3 28: Do you think you could survive a day without eating or drinking anything? - I reckon I could, but it'd suck. I'm not really a fasting kind of person.29: What is your favorite day of the week, and why? - I really like Fridays, I quite like Wednesdays, and I hated Thursday at 6th form with a burning passion, it was just ALWAYS a shitty day. 30: What color underwear/boxers wearing now? - I actually had to check. Blue and white striped, blue lace.

I also really like July, because it's a month of freedom.46: Have you ever cried for no reason? - No-one ever cries for NO reason.

IT was a day of DVDs.48: Favorite Day of the Year? - 31st October is good (Y)49: Can you do a headstand (not using the wall)? - HA no.50: Hugs or Kisses? - Hugs, because they are readily available from a wider range of people, and they fix pretty much anything. Kisses are excellent but specific - a kiss at the wrong time might not make you feel better, but a hug isn't loaded.51: Chocolate or Vanilla? - Vanilla, always <3 Favourite smell, favourite flavour. Unless it's like, actual chocolate. And even then the Green&Black's white chocolate with the vanilla pods is fucking incredible.52: Who is most likely to respond to a text from you? - Jack?

Then I'd just read 24/783: Would you date someone who lived in another state? - I live in the UK so this is sort of irrelevant, but I assume it just means long-distance and I'm doing that at uni next year.84: Where is the person you last texted? - Jack, to say goodnight because he's a jetlagged wimp who can't hack it past 10pm.

Carnation: If I handed you a concert ticket right now, who would you want to be the performer? - The Arctic Monkeys

Jasmine: What colour looks best on you? - Blue. I have this turquoisey jumper with flecks of grey that pretty much matches my eyes so that kind of thing.

foxglove: Name three facts about your family? - 

1. My uncle recently died and my dad's family are reeling from the loss.

2. My maternal grandad is the nicest, coolest man in the world and used to be a fireman.

3. My uncle Andy was 14 when I was born and we're pretty close

Orange Blossom: If you could pick the gender and appearance of your child, would you? - No, because there's shit for both, and they're going to have to deal with gendered bullshit either way, so whichever I chose I'd feel guilty. Same with appearance - at some point they'll hate the way they look, so I don't want to be solely responsible for that.

Calla Lily: If you died right now, what song would you want to play at your funeral? - Atticus by the Noisettes, or Goodbye England, Covered in Snow by Laura Marling, I think? It's hard to find good funeral songs - Something that reflects on who you are but is appropriately slow and soft.

Oxlip: Would you ever get into a long distance relationship? - Would/will. I'm in love with a boy who in a few months will be all the way in Edinburgh, or still here in Warwickshire, while I'm down in Cardiff. IT will very much suck.

Daffodil: What's the most thoughtful present you've ever received? - I really don't know... My dad once sent me a pair of vintage leather belts that I'd been looking at in a shop in the post - he sends me something little and then just takes me shopping, usually. This year I also got an adipose stress toy and a pacman ghost from two separate friends and it was lovely.

Rose: Are you currently in love with someone? - Fuckyes. It's terrifying.

Amsonia: Would you ever become a vegan? - i'm pescatarian, so there's less I'd have to cut out of my life, but the older I get, the more I'm craving fish and dairy. I'd like to get to a point where everything I'm eating is as ethical and clean as possible, but i'm not sure I could ever chuck the fish and cheese and chocolate, to be honest. Maybe I could switch to soya or almond milk, but that's it.

Peony: What's your favorite hot beverage? - Black chai tea and milky, sugary coffee completely own me at this point.

Tulip: For your birthday, what kind of cake do you ask for? Either marble cake or standard, rich chocolate cake. I'm not really a fan of plain sponge. This year I'll be with my dad, who is a cook, so I'm going to try and get him to make me a fancy gateaux or something.

Myrtle: Do you like going on airplanes? - I've only ever been on 4 (two trips there and back) so I don't know... It isn't awful, but for the first bit I get a bit uneasy.

Hibiscus: Did you ever play an instrument? If so what? - Nope, I used to sing pretty well, but I'm losing that rapidly.

Zinnia: Who was your best friend when you were six years old? - Her name would have been either Grace or Amber, at that point?

Poppy: What colour was your childhood home? - Red brick, I think? There may or may not have been a green door but tbh idk

Hydrangea: Starbucks order? - I work for their competitor and I don't like their actual espresso, so if I get anything from Starbucks it's usually syruppy and awesome to hide the fact that their ground is rank. OR their chai tea. Which is admittedly awesome.

Violet: Do you like where you're from? - Hereford. and yeah, a lot. In a totally nieve, rose-tinted way, but the landscape makes me so much happier than anything round here. Midlands is a bit flat.

Locust: What was your favourite book as a child? - I really liked The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton, Alice in wonderland (although probably Through The Looking-glass more) and The Phoenix and The Carpet. And Narnia and HP, obvs.

Rhododendron: What's the scariest dream you've ever had? - I had a fever dream about all sorts of shit when I was maybe 10 that freaked me out a lot - there was dirty string in it, which I'm still freaked out by.

Queen Anne's Lace: Would you rather carve pumpkins or wrap presents? - I'm shitty at both. Probably presents - If I've got ribbon and nice paper I like making a pretty parcel for people.

Magnolia: Favorite kind of candy? - M&Ms, parma violets and Kinder Buenos are up there.

Aster: Would you rather be cold or hot? - Hot, I think? If it's something unfixable. Like, I love cosying up in the cold, but if I can't cosy up I really hate that empty feeling in the pit of your stomach that real cold leaves.

Marigold: Do you listen to what's on the radio? - Never, I'm too impatient.
