Tilly tagged me in this, go follow her y'all (under-the-apple-tree)

1) what time period would you return to if you could for just one day?

'70s-'80s. No question! Do I even have to justify why?

2) What female figure inspires you and why?

Sylvia Plath because she struggled under the weight of depression and a terrible sadness but still managed to produce poetry and prose of extreme beauty and meaning. Not the suicide, though, that's so so so sad and shouldn't really be aspired to...!

3) What Hogwarts house are you in?

HUFFLEPUFFS FOR LIFE!!! Love them crazy hufflepuffs!

4) Top three celebrity crushes?

Alex Turner, Dan Auerbach, Ryan Gosling

5) What superpower would you have excluding invisibility and the ability to fly?

The ability to instantly understand and speak every language in the world

6) If you had 24 hours to live what would you do? 

God, that's pretty bloody difficult... I would probably jump on a plane and go to the West coast, because I've always wanted to go there. I'd go into all the art galleries after they were shut so it was just me and I could look at all the beautiful art in peace and quiet. Then I'd go and find Arctic Monkeys and just have a jam session with them, because that would be the most awesome thing in the entire world!

7. What fictional character do you identify with the most and why?

Erm, that's bloody hard, Tilly! One of the ones I identify with is definitely Lousia Gradgrind from Dickens' Hard Times, who's been so drilled with facts and the scientific way of viewing things that she's incapable of feeling anything humanly. Definitely feel like that sometimes...! Otherwise, maybe Meggie in Inkheart.

8. Favourite word?

Loquacious (chatty)

9. Current obsession?

Arctic Monkeys (as you may have gathered!), Company magazine, tea, pretty fabrics and the '80s.

10. Which is your favourite season and why?

I like summer and winter the most, because they're so extreme, there's none of this half-arsed inbetween crap like autumn and spring. I much prefer winter, though, it's all cold and lovely, and winter walks are the best, and you don't have to worry about suncream and getting burnt (which, with my paleness, I have to do a lot in summer)

My questions:

1) Which musician do you most identify with and why?

2) How often have you watched your favourite film?

3) What's your favourite quote of all time?

4) What food would you choose to live off for the rest of your life?

5) What's your luxury item on a desert island?

6) Put your iPod on shuffle. What are the first 10 songs that come up?

7) Describe your most recent/current outfit.

8) What  part do you most like/are most looking forward to about falling in love?

9) Any author crushes?

10) Paste your favourite poem here (or your favourite stanza)

oh wow thank you bekah!! um um

i go to the farmers market every thursday evening!

one time was at a musical with my school and i got brought on the stage by one of the actors to dance at the end…now that i think about it, that was really sweet, but at the time i was v embarrassed…

i can NOT dance

i try to leave nice notes in freshman lockers a couple times a week and when i can’t do that i try to send some pleasant anons to nice people on here.

on monday night, i got to be splattered with fake blood and scream and cry a lot (oh gosh the things i volunteer for)
