New year, new excuse to give you all random factoids about me.
The lovely Niki tagged me and, being a newly regenerated Time Lord, I felt the need to let you all know how very rude and not ginger I am.
Rule 1: Always post the rules.
Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you has written and write 11 new ones.
Rule 3: Tag 11 new people and link them to your post.
Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.
Niki's questions:
1. First fandom?
First fandom wherein I was actually involved in fandom? Chuck, I think. But I think Psych was the first show that I proper fangirled over.
2. How many tumblrs do you follow? (I’m just curious to see how many other people follow. Is 200 a lot? Or normal? idk)
202! (Although some of them are deactivated blogs that I can never unfollow. WHAT IS THIS, PEOPLE?)
3. If you could choose to play a musical instrument, which would you choose? (If you already play(ed) one/several you’re not allowed to say that one, hehe.)
Does my voice count? Once upon a time I was able to sing and I'm not anymore. I actually think I have negative amounts of musical talent now. ANYWAY, if voice isn't an option, then I have always been fascinated by the didgeridoo, so...
4. Favorite vacation you’ve been on?
Oh, jeez, this is like asking me to pick a favorite parent. Okay, um, summer before freshman year, my mom and I went to Singapore and Malaysia together and the whole thing was just a blur of hijab shopping and eating and it was brilliant.
5. Where do you want to be in ten years? Take this question any way you want.
I want to be making the world a better place, whether I'm teaching or working at an NGO or brightening peoples' days with food from my restaurant. And, you know, I suppose I'd like to be happy, too.
6. Which shoe do you put on first, left or right?
Right, nearly always.
7. Best thing that happened to you in 2012?
One would think that moving to London was it, but frankly that was simultaneously terrifying, which knocks it down a few pegs. I think the flat out best thing that happened to me was probably coming to the realization that what I'm choosing to do with my life- studying literature, going into education- is the right thing for me.
8. If you were on The Voice and each judge wanted you, whose team would you be on? (lololol I don’t know where this question came from - I don’t even watch the show). For those who don’t watch/know, your choices are: Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine (of Maroon 5), or Blake Shelton.
Probably either Cee-Lo or Blake Shelton. I don't really know why.
9. Favorite hot drink?
Coffee, which I realize is the most cliched answer ever and my tea-loving friends all just died of shock, but still.
10. Name something you think is underrated and why.
Silence. I had this teacher junior year who once asked us to consider how often we find ourselves alone without something talking at us- iPods, TVs, car radios- and recommended that we set aside at least twenty minutes every day to just be alone with our thoughts. I don't think I realized the full impact of twenty minutes like that until I moved to the city, but honestly it's the most restorative thing I can think of.
11. Favorite gif?
This gif of Hercule Poirot. I never use it, but if I'm going to be associated with a single gif over my Tumblr career, I think that an incredulous, mustachioed Belgian detective from the 1930s sums me up pretty well.
My questions:
This is a question that I think used to be a BBC Radio feature: you're going to a desert island and all your amenities are provided except entertainment. What three records do you bring with you?
The Doctor is at your doorstep, TARDIS engines roaring, ready to take you on the adventure of a lifetime. Do you go with him? If yes, where (or when) do you go?
What book character do you relate to most?
What's your favorite animated movie? (It can be a short film instead of a feature-length.)
If you could subsist on one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
You're one of the X-Men. What's your superpower?
Favorite story? (It could be a fairytale, a novel, a folktale- anything.)
Name something that you're passionate about.
They're making a movie about you. Looks aren't an issue, so who do you want to play you?
If you got a tattoo, what would it be? (If you've already got one, what would you want your next one to be?)
What's the best advice that you've gotten from someone?
RIGHT. So I'm pestering tagging the following people:
