Getting To Know Me

Stolen from Natatree at XL as Life :)

Are you named after someone?

Not really but since my mum realised actress Stefanie Powers had the same spelling then she likes to say her. My middle name Marie came from her Italian school-friend Maria :)

When was the last time you cried?

When watching a TV programme on footage people have shot with their mobile phones etc and there was this really sweet video of this guy proposing to his girlfriend using all their friends dancing and miming to Bruno Mars' 'Marry You'

Do you have kids?

No. Never. Fur-babies only.

Do you have a guilty pleasure?

Cheesy pop music (Abba, Busted, S Club 7, Steps etc), shoes, bags.

Do you like handwriting?

Yes. I am a notebook obsessive! I should hand-write more, I need to work my stamina back up so my hand doesn't cramp up so much.

What is your favourite cereal?

Bran Flakes, Corn Flakes and Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. I'm also on a bit of a muesli kick right now. Had to customise it though. I bought two boxes of Dorset Cereals Nutty Muesli, removed the dates (they're icky, what were they doing there in the first place?) and added a bunch of walnuts and flaked almonds. I've also added hazelnuts but I haven't eaten any since I put them in. Hopefully I won't need to take them back out.

What is the first thing you notice about people?

Clothes, shoes and then eyes.

What colour are your eyes?

Blue grey green. They seem to change.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Both.

Favourite TV show?

Grey's Anatomy if I had to pick one but I'll refer you back to this post http://bulletproof-scarecrow.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/blogtober-day-18-favourite-tv-programmes.html for more. The broken image is Sleepy Hollow which along with Under the Dome I've since stopped watching and Witches of East End was cancelled. >.<

Summer or Winter?

I like to think Winter but actually I think I slightly prefer Summer and the clothing freedom it gives you. Not that we usually get much of a Summer in the UK though XD

Hugs or Kisses?

Hugs with permission. Kisses if you are very special.

What’s the furthest you’ve been from home?

Not very. I live in North Somerset and the furthest I've been is 89 miles down to Weymouth in Dorset.

Do you have special talents?

I can draw a bit.

Where were you born?

Bristol, England.

What are your hobbies?

Reading, writing, drawing, the internet, animals.

Do you have any pets?

I have a cat named Tigger.

Favourite movie?

Like Nat Labyrinth is a big favourite. I did a post here http://bulletproof-scarecrow.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/blogtober-day-17-late-your-favourite.html but it's expanded since then for sure. I could probably do a top 10 of Disney alone XD

What colour is your car?

My mum's car is silver. I don't know how to drive yet but hope to learn this year.

What did you want to be when you growing up?

It's always been an author consistently. Other careers I've debated have been horse riding instructor, kennel staff, medical examiner, forensic scientist, vet, vet nurse. I've discarded most of them because of studying costs. For a medical examiner for example you need to go through the full 7 years of medical school.

How are you feeling right now?

Also like Nat tired. Went to sleep too late and then a weird dream woke me up which is odd because I never dream. Or if I do I don't remember. My mum was in a hospital with a massive hernia and the doctor was going through all of the complications and risk of death stuff and it freaked me out. :(

Share 3 facts about yourself

1. I have never been on a proper date.
2. The smell of a food can instantly put me off eating it.
3. I used to be ambidextrous when I was young until a primary school teacher forced me into using my right hand.

Feel free to fill this out for yourself :)
