T&B's Questions

1.What, without fail, always cheers you up?
Hmmm, that's a difficult one... Probably finishing an essay that's been bugging me for ages/getting a good mark back. Or when my nieces and nephews are excited to see me! Kids are so hard (for me) to please.
2.Tea -genius or not?
Uninterested so I'm going to say NOT.
3.Favourite meal ever?
"Salad"/fridge things! Practically picnic food.
4.Favourite day out?
I don't go on days out very often but a couple of days ago I went on a trip to West Midlands Safari Park for R's birthday and it was pretty fun though the weather was sad and rainy. Our car got surrounded by emus and it was simultaneously the most exciting/scary thing that has ever happened to me. That, or when we went on a spontaneous trip to the beach last October. However Harmless Bizzle's suggestion also sounds AMAZING.
5. If you could go on holiday today, where would you go?
Somewhere in Australia! Though maybe not today because it's summer there now and I think I would melt. Honestly I'd really like to go to Scotland... Bit of a contrast.
6. Favourite Disney classic?
Sleeping Beauty. Though I'm not sure why...
7. What  food could you not live without?
This is even harder than the first question. I'm going to say bread, in any of its glorious forms.
8. You're going onto a desert island and can take one person- who do you take?
Mum because she knows everything??? Or dad because he could build a shelter/fire/boat or catch things etc. This answer probably says a lot about me.
9. What is your dream job?
SLEEPING/Writer/Midwife??? The latter is a very tenuous answer at the moment.
10. Do you have any guilty pleasure reality TV shows?
Does Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents count? Got into the habit of watching it recently. Though I really wish they'd quit with the gratuitous shots of people vomiting...

I'm really bad at thinking of questions, perhaps more so than I am at answering them. However, here are a few that my brain pooped out (answer as many or as few as you would like):
1) What should the background on my "oh my god I'm not an old lady any more" amazing new phone be?
2) Do you have WhatsApp and would you like to exchange some of those funny emoticons with me?
3) Why does my towel keep falling off my radiator?
4) When you get back into your house/room after a lecture, what's the first thing you do? (Don't say "I take my coat off" or something sassy like that... What do you actually DO? Lie down/make a cup of tea/go on your laptop, etc.)
5) Could you ever see/hear the name Casper without thinking of the friendly ghost?
6) What is the best dream you can ever remember having?
7) Does everyone in your house get super stressy when they've all got assignments to do around the same time? This one is particularly directed at people in their final year.
8) What time do you get of bed at the weekends? (Providing you don't have a job)
9) Would you consider yourself a feminist?
10) Butter with jam on toast?
11) Nutella - food of the gods or inadequate spread?

  1. 1) Someone fit. Like Neville Longbottom. Mine's a lego version of Stan Shunpike P:
    2) No idea what even means.
    3) Either gravity or you have a towel-phobic ghost nearby.
    4) Usually pee. O.o
    5) Now you've said it I will XD
    6) Well, quite recently I've either dreamt that I'm Neville Longbottom/Matt Lewis' girlfriend or Richard Archer's girlfriend, so they've been pretty awesome. But I think some of my more random dreams have been pretty epic too, there was that one where I was in a play with Phil of the Future which I remember with fondness P:
    7) We've just all become library shut ins. I think we've lost the capacity to feel anything. :/
    8) Hah! Midday. I blame the fact that my body doesn't like to sleep when it's dark and supposed to be asleep. I would rather be out of bed at 8am, to enjoy this sunshine.
    9) No. Lectures about feminism make me mad.
    10) Throw away the jam. Go to the cupboard. Get out some Marmite. Spread all over that buttery toast. Enjoy.
    11) I like it on ice cream. But that white and milk chocolate spread from Lidl is better.

  2. 1) This picture:http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/halt--hammerzeit.jpg
    2) I don't know what WhatsApp is due to having impaired technological knowledge relative to my age.
    3) Because the radiator is the towel's natural enemy. Every time the towel is placed on the radiator the radiator burns it, just to show how much it dislikes it. This causes the towel to jump off the radiator to avoid further persecution. The towel and the radiator have never seen eye to eye, due to their different beliefs about the best way to dry things.
    Or, you know... gravity.
    4) I usually collapse in my chair and peel off several layers of clothing to counteract the overheating that occurs from the 6-flight walk up to my room. I'm pretty sure my body has no form of thermostatic control.
    5) No. No I could not.
    6) I'm pretty bad at remembering dreams, even the really awesome ones, but I think I had one when I was in college where we were at college but it was like a really awesome campus with woody bits and cool little courtyards everywhere, and we were basically frolicking in the sunshine. So gay but so fun.
    7) I hadn't noticed it until now, but yes, there is a definite lowering of tolerance towards each others' behaviour - also, everyone seems to be getting ill one by one.
    8) Usually about 10/11 unless Boyfriend is here, in which case anything from 12-2. He has a job so he gets to sleep late on weekends... I just join in.
    9) I will say yes in that I believe in the promotion of equality of treatment between men and women. But I think there are several branches of feminism and it's unfortunately become a misused and misunderstood movement. I'm not the men-are-pigs or men-and-women-are-exactly-the-same-in-every-way type of feminist.
    10) Yes, it's too dry otherwise! ...I want some toast.
    11) Food of the gods! It's not just chocolatey, it's also nutty! But god help you if you put it in the fridge.

  3. Thanks for doing this. I've been watching sun, sex and suspicious parents too!

    1.a picture of somebody you love smiling, to make you smile. Maybe a niece or nephew.
    2. It's seems I'm the only one not letting you down and yes I do and will enjoy that very much!
    3. I would like to offer a solution to the problem rather than an explanation- balance something on top of the towel, for example, a mirror. It weighs it down.
    4. go upstairs and take off my coat and shoes- put on my dressingown and slippers then return downstairs to make a cup of tea (I'm so interesting!).
    5.I could actually. My housemate V has the nickname Casper for being pale, this only reminds me that I am in fact paler than her.
    6. Hmm...the one where I had a baby was probably the best. Recently I have dreamt about failing things and cockroaches growing on my skin!
    7.Yes, M becomes a library recluse who insults us by text in his moods. V becomes so stressed that she spends all of her time talking to me about the assignment in my room while i'm trying to F'ing write it!
    8. usually about 11/12 because I've been ill so generally leave others to have fun without me. eg. playing games or watching a 2nd/3rd movie.
    9. Hmm, I don't know. Men who think it's funny to imply women are made for the kitchen REALLY piss me off. However, I guess I am my own stereotype and like to bake and be motherly.
    10. Nope. Only because of lack of experience, I need to make a more informed judgement.
    11. Food of the gods- especially in cakes!
