1. What time did you get up this morning?
I set an alarm for 10am this morning, which was hugely ambitious, since I didn't get to sleep until around 5:30am due to a culmination of a messed up sleeping pattern, illness and general tossing and turning. So I ended up falling asleep until 12, when my Dad dragged me out of bed.
2. How do you like your steak?
I like my steak medium-rare. But I'll take it medium. Or rare. Or well-done. Or indeed any form of steak presented to me.
3. What was the last film you saw in the cinema?
My last trip to the cinema was in November (which is far too long ago for my liking, but hell, I'm a student and I'm poor) to see Catching Fire. I went twice - it was that good. I was looking forward to the second instalment of the trilogy and I absolutely loved it. They really did a fantastic job and, as always, Queen Jennifer Lawrence was fantastic.
4. What is your favourite TV show?
I won't really watch a TV show unless I like it enough or it to be my favourite, so I have it down to four. The number one spot probably belongs to Glee, seeing as I've watched it religiously through thick and thin since 2009. But last year, I fell head first into the world of Pretty Little Liars and became entirely obsessed. What a clever show! Just when you think you've got it figured out, another plot punches you in the face and you're back to square one on your own little map to -A. So then in turn, I got into the spin-off Ravenswood, which is different to what I expected and to what I would usually watch, but it's equally as gripping and who could ever say no to Tyler Blackburn? And the final contender is Teen Wolf. I only got into that show very recently, but it's really great. It's a little ridiculous now and again, but I love it.
5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I would probably give a different answer to this question every time somebody asks me, but at the moment, it's Washington DC, or as close as I can get. It's just a beautiful city. It's full of culture, and it's one of the only places state-side to have a chain of Nandos. And to be honest, that's a deal breaker.
6. What did you have for breakfast?
I had scrambled egg, then beans, then cheese on toast (the order is key). Apparently, it sounds weird to those who haven't tried it, but I solemnly swear that it's one of the best breakfast combinations ever.
7. What is your favourite food?
My favourite food is chicken, hands down. You can do so much with chicken and it's just so good. I could probably eat chicken of some variety for every single meal and live in content for the rest of my days.
8. Foods you dislike?
Mushrooms. Peas. Fish. Humus. Blue cheese. That's... pretty much it.
9. Favourite place to eat?
I'm feeling the Nandos love right now. Double chicken breast wrap, lemon and herb, chips and coleslaw. Standard.
10. Favourite dressing?
Farm Foods sell this amazing mint and yoghurt sauce and it's the best ever. I'm also partial to a bit of Ranch, but only on salad.
11. What vehicle do you drive?
I don't drive at all, I haven't even started learning. But my dad drives a Vaxhaul Insignia. It's not too shabby.
12. What are your favourite clothes?
I like nothing more than wearing a vest and some pyjama shorts. But when I'm forced to go out into the world, I mostly just wear jeans. Everybody has a favourite pair of jeans. I like baggy clothes, too. They're just more comfortable.
13. Where would you visit if you had the chance?
The list really is endless. Given the chance, I would visit people over places, and the locations would just be a bonus. I'd love to visit people in Estonia, Sweden, Canada and all over the U.S. But if I were to put the thought of visiting people aside for a moment and just focussed on the places, I would probably want to visit Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, etc. I always feel urges to go to cities that aren't my own. There's something about a city that appeals to me. I don't think I could stay in a city for good, but they always make for excellent trips.
14. Cup half empty or half full?
I can't really answer this as a general question. My perception always depends on the situation and where I stand in it. For example, if I have an exam coming up, the glass will always be half empty, because I don't want to set a bar for myself that I honestly don't think I can achieve realistically. But if a plan changes or falls through, for example, the glass is usually half full. I'll just make the best of it and work on something new.
15. Where would you want to retire?
If I leave Wales to pursue my life as I've always wanted to, I think I'd like to come back to Wales to retire. It would just feel right. Maybe somewhere on the coast like Aberystwyth.
16. Favourite time of the day?
Night time, definitely. I'm definitely a night bird.
17. Where were you born?
I was born in Church Village in South Wales. There is no cool story; my mother popped, drove to the hospital and I was born. The end.
18. What is your favourite sport to watch?
The answer is rugby. It is the only sport I like to watch. I've been told that I turn into a rowdy 50-year-old Welshman when I'm watching rugby. I get very emotionally involved and tend to shout at the television. It's even better at the stadium. I love the atmosphere and the shouting and singing. It's amazing.
19. What is your favourite fragrance?
I wore Kenzo Flower for quite a while, and I really liked that. It was sweet, but not too sweet. It reminds me of palmer violet sweets. But I've recently gone for a change and I'm now wearing Flash by Jimmy Choo.
20. What is your favourite face cream?
Honestly, I don't use any kind of face creams or moisturisers or whatever. I know that as a girl, I probably should, but it never really occurs to me to go out and buy some cream for my face. But if that did occur to me, I would probably by something from The Body Shop that smelt nice and hope that my skin wouldn't reject it as it does with so many other products.
21. Favourite baby/kid product?
Loreal Kids No Tears Shampoo. The cherry one smells amazing, even if the whole campaign is a lie and it does, in fact, sting like a bitch if it gets in your eyes.
22. People Watcher?
I am such a people watcher. I think it's a really bad habit of mine, because I don't sit there and watch people pass me by as some kind of inspirational outsiders' perspective. Oh no. I sit there and I watch people and I just find myself judging them. I'm so judgemental and while I wouldn't change it because it makes me who I am, it's so mean sometimes. My hidden morals tell me it's awful to take humour out of other people's day-to-day misfortune, but they'll never know I'm doing it, so where is the harm?
23. Morning person or Night person?
100% night person. Team Nocturnal.
24. Do you have any pets?
I do. I have a dog named Jess. She's the perfect blend of cute, lazy and idiotic. She's getting old now, though, bless her.
25. Any exciting news you'd like to share?
I received some very exciting news that I would love to share with everyone I know, but I'm unfortunately not allowed to. It's a secret until January 30th, by which time I will probably have forgotten that I have mentioned it on this blog entry.
26. What did you want to be when you were little?
I remember nagging for a doctor/nurse dress-up costume when I was about three, so that probably meant that I wanted to be a doctor. But as I grew older and more and more terrified of blood and needles, I would have accepted that nursing was not the career for me. I also went through phases of wanting to be a superstar, a teacher and a pilot.
27. What is your favourite memory?
I don't think there are many people who could define one single memory as their favourite of all. I like to categorise my memories, but I couldn't define one single favourite. But one of the stand-out moments for me was when I was in New York, on the very first night when I turned the street corner into Times Square for the first time. I don't think I have ever felt such a feeling of amazement in my life. When you see pictures of somewhere like that, somewhere you long to visit, you fall in love with the image. And then you get there and it exceeds every single expectation you set in your mind. It was just incredible.
28. Are you a cat person or a dog person?
I'm probably a cat person, as long as the cat is a person cat. .
29. Are you married?
I'm 18. Imagine being married at 18. It would be horrid. I am absolutely not married.
30. Always wear your seatbelt?
Nine times out of ten, yes. If I'm in the front seat, always. But sometimes I forget if I'm in the back.
31. Been in a car accident?
Yes I have. It was 3 cars ago, so that means it was probably about seven years ago. The car we had at the time was known as the Devil Car. It was constantly in and out of the garage with one fault or another. On this particular day, the exhaust had near enough exploded, resulted in thick, grey smoke shooting out the back. I remember my Dad saying, "Shit kids, get out." So I unbuckled my seatbelt and just as we were opening the doors, some guy ploughed straight into the back of us. Luckily, nobody was seriously hurt, but my brother and I were young, and obviously and understandably shaken by the whole tragic state of affairs.
32. Any pet peeves?
So many pet peeves! I hate ignorance, arrogance, a lack of ability to take a joke, I hate people who don't indicate (and I don't even drive!), I hate people blowing their nose without warning, I hate unnecessary tapping, I hate it when people skip songs half way through for no good reason, I hate being interrupted, I hate people slapping their food as they chew, I hate it when people undermine someone for liking something. There are so many more, but I can't think of them right now. I really very grumpy.
33. Favourite pizza topping?
Chicken, always chicken. Barbecue sauce, too.
34. Favourite flower?
It's a cheesy answer, but I love roses. It's probably because my middle name is Rose and my grandmother's name was Rose. I like seeing roses that are colours you don't expect them to be.
35. Favourite ice cream?
This changes with my mood. At the moment, my go-to is Ben and Jerry's Phish Food, but I really like citrus flavours. A local ice cream parlour does a lime cheesecake flavour and it's one of the best things ever put on this earth for man/me to consume.
36. Favourite fast food restaurant?
It's got to be the standard McDonalds. Old Maccies never lets me down.
37. How many times did you fail your driving test?
I have failed 0 out of 0 attempts.
38. From whom did you get your last email?
For whatever reason, I have about five email accounts. My last email was a confirmation of an Amazon order, but my last email from an actual person was from my dear friend Calvin.
39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
I don't have a credit card, which is a very wise move on my behalf. But if I did, it would probably be in New Look just because I would wear about 95% of their entire stock.
40. Do anything spontaneous lately?
New Years Eve was fairly spontaneous. Nobody really had any definitive plans after 12, but I ended up having a party at my house, which didn't officially end until around 1l:30am, so I guess that could be considered spontaneous.
41. Do you like your job?
I don't have a job. But I definitely need to get one.
42. Broccoli?
Always.
43. What was your favourite vacation?
Out of my family holidays, I think Menorca the second time was my favourite. There were ten of us and everything was normal. I couldn't fault it. I love the island, the weather was amazing. I can't even say something particularly special happened to make it stand out, but I think that's the only holiday we all went on together where there were no arguments whatsoever. Just 100% quality time with the family.
But last year's trip to Malia with my friends just blew the roof off everything. I just loved it. Amazing company, so much alcohol, and I don't think I've laughed so much in a pool before.
44. Last person you went out to dinner with?
My three best friends and I went to a lovely Italian for our annual Christmas gathering.
45. What are you listening to right now?
I am listening to Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo. Unashamedly so.
46. What is your favourite colour?
If I'm being totally honest, it's grey. I'm really not one for colour, but if I have to add some vibrancy into my choice, it would be the kind of blue that's just enough blue to not be grey.
47. How many tattoos do you have?
At the moment, I don't have any. But I absolutely want to change that. I have a few ideas floating around my mind, but I'm yet to pick a design of some kind.
48. Coffee drinker?
Unfortunately not. I'm well aware that I'm missing out on a whole world, but I just can't bring myself to like it just yet.
