The TMI Tag!

Hello friend! 

So, seeing as I read the blog of the lovely +Jessica Morgan, I thought I'd abide by the rules and complete the TMI tag. Here we go, then.

The TMI Tag!

1.What are you wearing?
An oversized t-shirt and pyjama shorts.

2. Ever been in love?
Probably, in some shape or form.

3. Ever had a terrible break up?
No. Nor do I want one any time soon.

4. How tall are you?
5"9!

5. How much do you weigh?
I honestly couldn't tell you, because I don't know. Too much, though.

6. Any tattoos?
Not right now. I'd definitely like one by the end of the year, though.

7. Any piercings?
Just my ears. I'm not very adventurous with piercings, and always chicken out whenever I fancy having something done.

8. OTP?
Ezria! (PLL)

9. Favourite Show?
Right now it's a toss up between Pretty Little Liars and Teen Wolf. PLL probably gets the top spot, though.

10. Favourite bands?
McFly, Dan and Shay, R5, Bastille, and more recently, The Vaccines and The Arctic Monkeys.

11. Something you miss?
I miss school. There, I said it!

12. Favourite song?
It's probably Please Don't Leave Quite Yet by Adam Agin, but it'll change within the week.

13. How old are you?
I am 18.

14. Zodiac sign?
Cancer

15.Quality you look for in a partner?
A good sense of humour. And preferably, a little beard.

16. Favourite quote?
"I aim for the moon and I'm happy to land on the roof."

17. Favourite Actor?
Jennifer Lawrence. I just can't fault her.

18. Favourite Colour?
This is really boring, but it's grey. You can do an awful lot with grey!

19. Loud music or soft?
Loud! The louder the better.

20. Where do you go when you're sad?
I don't do well with sadness around others, so I'm likely to retreat to my room.

21. How long does it take you to shower?
If I have to be quick, I can be, and be done in around 7-10 minutes. But if I'm not in a rush, I'll take up to half an hour.

22. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
Again, if I'm rushed, I can be ready in 10 minutes, but I never really take longer than 20 minutes unless I make breakfast.

23. Ever been in a physical fight?
Several, an all but around two were with my brother.

24. Turn on?
If you can sing, you're already ten points up.

25. Turn off?
People who are completely different with you around their friends than when you're alone. That, and bad body odour. 

26. The reason you joined Blogger?
I joined a long while ago to use my blog as a space to vent, seeing as nobody really used it and it was a private space to write up my thoughts. But in the new year, I realised there was a lot more to write about than my own woes, so I challenged myself to blog more often about different things. A lot of my old posts have been deleted, I'm afraid. Although to be honest, you really wouldn't want to read them!

27. Fears?
Spiders, collar bones (please don't make me explain because I'm afraid I cannot) and the idea of being crushed by a large crowd, or indeed any crowd.

28. Last thing that made you cry?
A series of pretty nasty panic attacks I had on a night out last Wednesday. Bit of a downer, really.

29. Last time you said you loved someone?
On Friday, to my grandmother. We went out for dinner, and I never really get to spend time with her like that, so I just thought I'd remind her!

30. Meaning behind your Blogger name?
Well, its my name.

31. Last book you read?
Out of my own free will, Paper Towns by John Green. For work purposes, the eighth edition of American Politics and Society by David McKay. Fun times!

32. The book your currently reading?
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. It's for a literature essay I'm about to start working for, but I'm actually enjoying it, which makes things a lot easier.

33. Last show you watched?
Teen Wolf.

34. Last person you talked to?
My house mate, Katie.

35. The relationship between you and the person you last texted?
Mother and Daughter.

36. Favourite food?
Chicken of any variety.

37. Places you want to visit?
Washington DC (again), Sweden, Italy, Amsterdam, Fiji, Estonia, New Zealand, Japan, San Francisco...

38. Last place you were?
Outside of my house? Rehearsals.

39. Do you have a crush?
Yes. I probably have more crushes than friends.

40. Last time you kissed someone?
Saturday night.

41. Last time you were insulted?
About half an hour ago by my house mate. All in good spirit, though. Banter is vital!

42. Favourite flavour of sweet?
Blackcurrant or cherry.

43. What instruments do you play?
Much my to dismay, I can't play any. I'd love to be naturally gifted with piano and guitar skills, though!

44. Favourite piece of jewellery?
My Pandora bracelet - it's filling up nicely!

45. Last sport you played?
Well I danced for three hours tonight, if that counts. If not, I don't even remember.

46. Last song you sang?
A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. My house were singing it earlier on for some reason.

47. Favourite cat up line?
Are you are parking ticket? Because you've got fine written all over you...

48. Have you ever used it?
I can safely say I haven't. Although I'm sure it'd work.

49. Last time you hung out with anyone?
My housemates tonight!

50. Who should do this tag?
Well, anybody who wants to! But more specifically, +Rachel Bott and +Ffion Thomas :)

Until next time, muchachos!

Valentines Day: Forever Alone?

Hello friends!

So another Valentines Day is upon us. Another single Valentines Day in my case. But guess what? I really do not care. I can't be the only one who has noticed this, but this year more than ever has seen an all time low number of people complaining about being single on this dreadful 'holiday'. Finally, people are starting to realise that it's the least important thing ever. The fact that this is a day some people see as a reason to hate themselves for being alone is a horrible thought. So you didn't get a £1 rose and a card - ho hum! It's really not the end of the world. I'm rubbish at receiving gifts, and even worse at buying them so the whole concept is a horrible thought for me anyway. 

This is just a short post to express my gratitude for the shrinking importance of Valentines Day to the single community. It's also an opportunity to voice my slight disgust at every other post on all social media sites being a sickly picture of a bunch of flowers and a poorly constructed declaration of love, followed by a few emojis. But I'll leave them to it - I suppose it's slightly heart-warming.... deep down. Ish.

Also, if you don't have plans for tonight, much like myself, here are a few suggestions as to what you could do instead!

1. Pamper yourself.

Why not? Have a nice long bath, or a shower if you'd prefer. Slap on a face mask, paint your nails. Moisturise! Do girly things. 

2. Eat. 

Think about it. Go to the shops and buy a box of chocolates on Valentines Day. Nobody will suspect that you're about to take them home and indulge in an entire Milk Tray in one go, will they? 

3. Drink.

One bottle of wine, minus one Valentine = more for you. Have a giggle! Or if you don't drink, make yourself a monster hot chocolate. You do you.

4. Filmathon.
Two options here, either stay in with a pile of your favourite DVDs (or your laptop... not that I condone piracy, children....) and view in the comfort of your own home, or go to the cinema. It's always amusing and/or uncomfortable to watch the endless PDA Valentines Day promotes!

5. Laugh at Valentines memes. 
Really. They are brilliant, and if you haven't seen any yet, I'm pretty sure you're living in a cave. Here are a few favourites!

Happy Valentines Day, loners and lovers! xo
