Non-Tag Tag

Saw this Liebster tag thing on Just me, Leah's blog and decided to do it :D





Here are the rules.
  1. Mention who nominated you for the award.
  2. Each person nominated must list 11 different things about themselves.
  3. Answer 11 questions that the previous tagger has left you.
  4. Create your own 11 questions.
  5. Tag up to 11 people

11 things about me:

  1. I love books and am constantly filling up bookcases (volunteering in a charity shop really doesn't help). 
  2. I collect notebooks. I have piles of them everywhere. I buy them to write my stories in but then there's odd ones that I think they're too nice to ruin if a story goes wrong. 
  3. My longest lived dream is to be a published author. I am constantly thinking up stories and starting them. I have several that I think could be viable for publishing and one trilogy that when it's written should do well, I've just got to write it first -_- 
  4. I also hate my feet. I'm a size 9 UK which means I can never get nice shoes to fit. My feet are also quite flat which in combination with feet that turn out (I was told by a doctor when I was young that inline skates would be a bad idea, I don't know if the joint is weaker or something) makes a lot of shoes very uncomfortable. 
  5. When I was in school my hair used to be just above my bum then I cut it to shoulder length and it's gone shorter ever since including a funky asymmetrical cut and a grade 3 or 4 shave. I'm now growing it out for dreadlocks. 
  6. I also collect ornaments. Unicorns, pegasi, horses, wolves, dragons, faeries and owls. I will eventually do a post about my room which will showcase them. 
  7. I have a serious phobia about bees and wasps to the point that I will jump in the road to get away from them. 
  8. My dream is to move to a house in the Welsh countryside with huge rooms and about 10 acres of land so I can keep horses. I also wouldn't mind learning Welsh. 
  9. Horses are my favourite animal and I have always wanted to learn how to ride but when I was young we didn't have the money and as I got older I put too much weight on. 
  10. I love snakes and really want a pet corn snake. 
  11. I am a non-displaying Goth at heart, I love black, bats and spooky things. 

Leah's questions:

  1. Who would you say has been the single biggest influence on your life? My mum definitely. She's always been there and she loves me for who I am :) 
  2. If you're attached, where did you meet your partner? I LOVE hearing how couples found each other! If you're single, tell me what you look for in a partner or who your celebrity crush is. Sadly single but I look for a girl who is fun, quirky, trustworthy and who has similar interests to me. I love curvy girls :D My celebrity crush is Kirsten Vangsness aka Penelope Garcia on Criminal Minds :)
  3. What song do you play to get you in the party mood before a night out? I don't go out but when it comes to dancing Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 is always good :) 
  4. If you could go back to any period in history, which would it be? The 80's had the best music and fashion so probably then. 
  5. What was your favourite subject in school, and why? Art and English because they were the things I was best at. I also quite liked GCSE History as I had a really good teacher and I was good at it (it's always easy to like stuff you're good at XD). 
  6. What do you spend the most of your money on? (excluding rent, food and travel.) What money? We do Avon regularly and I'm usually buying nail varnish from that. I also get a lot of books and some clothes from the PDSA charity shop I volunteer at. 
  7. What are your favourite 3 possessions? My computer, my book collection and my iPod. 
  8. If you had to live in another country, which one would it be? Within the United Kingdom then Wales but otherwise either Canada or Australia. 
  9. What makes you happy? Reading and music. 
  10. What was your best holiday/vacation ever? I've only ever been on holiday once and that was to Weymouth for a week with my best friend/ex-girlfriend and her grandparents. I really enjoyed it, it was September but the weather was great. 
  11. What would you like your legacy to be? How would you like people to remember you? I suppose if I'm remembered at all would be fantastic. But I'd love to be a published author and have people remember me for that.

My questions:
  1. What is your favourite band?
  2. If you could go on holiday anywhere where would it be?
  3. Which blogger inspires you most?
  4. What is your favourite book?
  5. What is your biggest fear?
  6. What would be the one thing you would save in a fire?
  7. Skirt or trousers?
  8. What is your favourite TV show?
  9. What is your favourite feature on the opposite and same sex?
  10. What is your favourite film?
  11. What would you buy if money was no object?

Feel free to fill this out if you haven't done it but otherwise I shall tag Sian of Sort Life Out; Buy Milk one of my favourite bloggers :)

    1. Woot! Great minds think alike :D Of course I remember reading on your blog that you're Pan :)

      Yay! And of course if they exist they cost a ton *faint* Dr Martens come to mind... Dreamy drooliness why must you cost so much?

      Me too, it's mostly a case of finding a story that'll carry through a whole book and then having the patience to actually write it XD No problem, I look forward to seeing it :D

    2. YES. I love Dr Martens and its great how many of them go up even higher than a size 9, but even in the sale they're waaay too expensive.

    3. They're so difficult to wear in though :( I have a black pair that I've had for years and worn on and off and they still aren't completely worn in... They need insoles in as they rub me to blisters on one foot.
