melazon edition :D

1. Do you always read the books that were adapted into movies/series? Or you avoid them to avoid being disappointed?

No, I don’t. I will usually read a book first, then watch the movie. I rarely feel the need to read the book of a film adaption unless I really really loved the film. Never read the Lord of the Rings books. EVEN THOUGH I’M A KIWI. Shocking, I know :P

2. If you were cursed by the first Dark Curse to live in Storybrooke, what occupation would you have?

Ha! Great question, Mel! Hmm. I guess if the curse puts you in a job that kind of seems to restrict you from doing what you were really destined to do (like making Snow White the Princess and intended ruler a school teacher), while also tapping into what you were actually good at (nurturing and caring for others), I would probably be....... I don’t know.... maybe I’d take a leaf out of David’s book and work at the animal shelter. Or, no, I’d be like one of those police-type people that go round arresting people who mistreat their animals. Cause it’s like, not a creative industry, but at the same time it would bring out the fiercely protective animal lover in me. Ha.

3. Think about the an item in your bucket list. If Rumplestiltskin can grant that one item, but you will have to owe him a favor (which he can claim any time he likes). Would you take up that deal? Why or why not?

Hmm. I think I’d have to say no. Because I don’t like owing people, and I especially wouldn’t like to owe someone as dodgy as Rumple! Plus, I’d hope I could achieve the items on my bucket list on my own :)

4. Are there any social causes that you feel strongly for?

Yar. Women’s rights. Gay rights. Gun control. Animal rights. Black rights. In general people (and animals) having rights :/

5. What were your ambitions as a child that you wouldn’t want to pursue now that you seriously considered it?

As a child child, like when I was 5, I wanted to be a ballet dancer. That lasted for about as long as it took me to quit ballet because I didn’t like it taking up my weekends! I also wanted to be a vet briefly, before I realised you had to do icky stuff to the animals. When I left highschool I wanted to study theatre/be an actress, but as both my parents were in theatre when I was growing up, I knew what a hard life it is, and when I started to realise what it was like to have to support myself financially, I quickly gave up the whole theatre idea. And went to film instead. LOL.

6. What would you present in a talent show like X factor?

Bahaha. Acro yoga, maybe? That tends to look impressive! I wish I could say singing, but I’m not as good a singer as my secret Broadway dreams want me to be! ;)

7. Do you like reality shows? If yes, which ones?

Mmm, not really. I’ve watched the occasional one with friends/flatmates/family, because they’re mildly fun to make fun of, but no, I’m not really into them.

8. Are you a romantic? or nah, can’t be bothered?

I guess? I don’t know how romantic I am, but I certainly like romantic things being done for me! I can also appreciate romance from an outside perspective, like if I’m watching it in a movie or something (or if it involves my otp), so yeah, I guess I am a romantic!

9. Are you a crier? What sort of things will make you cry?

Ohhhh yeah. Haha. I’m definitely a wear-my-heart-on-my-sleeve type. Even if I would prefer not to! I cry at movies, I cry when I laugh, I cry when someone does something especially nice or thoughtful for me, when people express gratitude or affection in an emotional way, any time I have to have an emotional conversation or talk about something upsetting, when I’m sad (obviously), sometimes even when I’m angry or frustrated or stressed. Yep. Definitely a crier! Lol.

10. Hogwarts House? :D

Genuinely no idea. I’ve never looked into it before! I take it there’s some way to find out, because I see a lot of people touting their house, but I have yet to discover mine! I feel like I have elements of a few, so I don’t know! Maybe Hufflepuff? I’m quite reserved for the most part, except when it comes to my friends. And I’m fiercely loyal. I don’t think I’m knowledge-thirsty enough for Ravenclaw, or reckless and brave enough for Gryffindor, or cunning enough for Slytherin, so I guess by default Hufflepuff? Lol, this answer is way too long for what the actual question was!

11. What do you do when you’re REEAAAALLLYYY bored?

Tumblr! ;)

Right, I’m supposed to make up some questions and tag some people, right?

Ok, my questions are:

1. What countries have you visited outside your own?

2. Do you have any tattoos? If so, describe them! If not, do you want any?

3. Think of your greatest fear. Ok, what would be the amount of money that would convince you to face that fear? (So, if you’re afraid of spiders, hold a tarantula or put your hand in a bucket of spiders or something.)

4. What colour is your handbag? If you don’t have a handbag, what colour is your.....shoe? (Idk)

5. Worst habit?

6. What’s your favourite song right now?

7. Piercing you like on other people but would never get yourself?

8. Pet hate?

9. Favourite thing to do on a cold day?

10. You can have any sort of exotic animal as your pet, without it becoming dangerous or miserable or what-have-you. Which animal do you choose?

11. You are Regina Mills for a day. What do you do? :)

This might very well be one of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received, and I’m absolutely at a loss for words that feel adequate. 

A few weeks ago, melazon, secretly sent me this lovely journal. It traveled by plane and it finally arrived yesterday, and guys, I cried. Legit tears. I had forgotten about some of these excerpts that I wrote, and cracking open the spine of this book and reading them again through someone else’s eyes was such a kind offering, a blessing that I didn’t know I needed. 

So thank you, Mel. From the bottom of my heart, you’ve encouraged me so much, at just the right time. 

XOXO, Jess

Lol, it’s a music shuffle meme, which means it’s my favorite!

True Love- Pink

But I hate you, I really hate you,So much, I think it must be

True love, true love

Thanks!

I know, lol. But then also, I don’t care lmao. I think the podcast is proof that I really love discussing the show, but sometimes fandom goes too deep for me because I’m back here just fine accepting things as they are while everyone else is posting ten paragraphs about what the writers did or didn’t intend to do. I mean, I definitely get like that about some things, so I understand it.
