And now Harry's (ridiculously complicated for this time on a Tuesday evening) questions: 

1. What sexuality (other than your own) would you prefer to be and why? And “bi/pan people get more options” or “straight people have it easiest” are not interesting enough reasons for me :P

I have kindly been granted a pass on this question :P

2. What gender (including your own) would you prefer to be and why?(There are more than two options, guys!)

I don't know. Female, because I'm used to it.

3. If you had the choice to bring up one issue you feel is ignored before Parliament/Congress/whatever legislative body represents your country, what would it be and why?

Why doesn't every London Underground station have a potted tree? Because it is a very important issue Ish and I feel would improve the daily commute of many Londoners.

4. If you had the option to erase any book from history in order to change the timeline, what would it be? (Fascist or religious books don’t count, because that’s boring :P)

Crumbs. 

5.If it were compulsory for everyone in your country to follow one particular religion/branch of a religion, which would you choose and why?

I don't knooooooooow. One that believes in God. 

6. If your gender were different, what would your name be?

Alexander which is a) the boys' version of my name anyway, and b) stupid because my (older) cousin is also called Alexander.

7. What names would you like to give your children?

Jessica. That's all I can think of.

8. What pets have you had in your life?

Pet rock called Archie. Pet brick called Red. Neighbours' cat Dennis adopted us Now we have two delightful tabby kittens. One, Mimi, is peacefully sleeping on a bed somewhere, and the other, Charlie is currently alternating between eating my shirt button, kissing me, and climbing on the keyboard.

9. Describe your ideal partner.

Someone who will have nonsensical conversations with me at silly o'clock, who will offer many cuddles and much jelly, has an arsenal of really bad jokes to cheer me up, will build pillow forts with me, will let me love them back, (goodness I'm getting soppy) and of a nice hugging height. Maybe a cute nose thrown in there. Freckles. 

10. What subject other than the one you’re currently studying would you have liked to study at uni/college? (If you’re not there yet, use the subject you want to study as your current one)

Chemistry possibly with French. Or chemical engineering.

(Or how to get two kittens out of your bed because they've just discovered they can get under my duvet)

11. What first encouraged you to join tumblr?

3. Can you drive? (And what have you driven?)

4. Favourite song and why?
