I AM BORED AND I FOUND THIS ON CLAUDIA'S BLOG SO THEREFORE IT IS GETTING DONE

Are you outgoing or shy?

Neither, but as a reasonably confident introvert, I'm closer to shy. And in fairness, I do really hate talking to people I don't know, in certain situations.

Who are you looking forward to seeing?

EVERYBODY AT THE CONTAINER PARTY AHHHHHH I'VE MISSED YOU ALL :(

Are you easy to get along with?

Depends on the context: if we don't know each other that well, and I'm making an effort, then yes, reasonably, except there WILL be innumerable awkward pauses in the conversation. If we're acquaintances, then I am unbelievably difficult to get close to, unless you're the sort of person who doesn't mind making the bulk of the effort and tends to ignore at least a handful of social boundaries. And if we already know each other fairly well, then yes, I think I am pretty easy to get along with.

If you were drunk would the person you like take care of you?

First: I do not get drunk. Second: I don't like anyone in the romantic sense, at least not presently. SO NO.

What kind of people are you attracted to?

People who make me laugh, who are adventurous, who don't cling, who don't force me into things but who suggest doing things that appeal to me, who are intelligent, who speak other languages, who use a lot of Ne… ENTPs. I'm attracted to ENTPs. (but as far as friends go, I always seem to end up with ISFJs and INFPs)

Do you think you’ll be in a relationship two months from now?

HA. No.

Does talking about sex make you uncomfortable?

Immeasurably. Blame it on my upbringing. HOWEVER, I am 100% comfortable with it in certain contexts - honestly, if there's a non-cringeworthy sex scene in a book or a film, I usually don't turn a hair unless there's someone else watching the film with me. Basically, it's not actually talking about sex that bothers me; it's just that growing up, I always saw it as a taboo topic, and felt like I was being judged if I made any sort of remark on it, and I still haven't shaken that.

Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with?

Hmm I think it was with Melinda, on one of our last nights in Grenoble - mostly about racism and prejudice and how it manifests differently in different countries.

Do you like it when people play with your hair?

Yes yes YES YES YES YES

Do you believe in luck and miracles?

Yup

Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?

This answers that question remarkably well

Do you still talk to your first crush?

Nope.

Do you like bubble baths?

Ooh yessssssss

Do you like your neighbours?

I don't know them particularly well

Where would you like to travel?

EVERYWHERE okay more specifically: I obviously NEED to go back to Andalucía soon or else I will be very sad, plus I would love a little weekend trip back to London or even just the English countryside OR recently I've been really wanting to go to the Scottish highlands because I've never actually been further north than Stirling and this is UNACCEPTABLE. I blame watching Outlander. As for countries I've never been to, I'd love to go to east Asia!!! China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, WHY HAVE I NEVER BEEN. And New Zealand. Yes.

Do you have trust issues?

Yep. And anytime I try to overcome them and let people in, I usually either overshare or else draw back at the last moment and end up just being annoyingly cryptic. FUN.

Favourite part of your daily routine?

Anything involving tea

What part of your body are you most uncomfortable with?

There are several different answers I could give to this and all of them are things I would rather not mention SO I am just going to say "my tummy" because that is like a 40% true answer to one of them and trust me, it is not for any reason that you could POSSIBLY think of, even if you pondered it for an entire day.

What do you do when you wake up?

Go back to sleep usually.

Do you wish your skin was lighter or darker?

Neither, though I wish it didn't burn as easily

Who are you most comfortable around?

CLAUDBOJANGLES

Have any of your exs told you they regret breaking up?

AND AGAIN

Do you ever want to get married?

I don't really mind either way, like if I ever get into a long-term relationship then yes, but I wouldn't mind being unattached either.

Do you play sports? What sports?

Do skiing and salsa count? Otherwise no, I hate sports.

Have you ever liked someone and never told them?

Yes

Describe your dream guy?

Witty, good sense of humour, likes to travel, puts up with me, we can both beat each other at chess.

What are your favourite stores to shop in?

WATERSTONES

What do you want to do after you graduate?

Be an extra on Game of Thrones, because apparently that's not happening anytime BEFORE I graduate.

Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?

A second chance, yes. A third chance, no.

If you're being extremely quiet what does it mean?

Hmm well if I'm being sort-of quiet then it doesn't mean anything really, that's fairly normal for me, but EXTREMELY quiet? That's not good, that means I'm either sulking, falling asleep, or else mentally listing every single way that I disagree with what you just said.

Do you smile at strangers?

Occasionally, and it always makes my day when I get a smile back, I should do it more often tbh.

What makes you get out of bed in the morning?

Necessity. If I don't have to do something in the morning, I often get up in the afternoon.

What are you paranoid about?

People using my computer, especially when I'm not in the room. To quote the most accurate tumblr post of all time, "I'm not sure exactly what I'm so afraid you're going to find, but I'm 200% sure there's something"

Ever wished you were someone else?

No way.

One thing you wish you could change about yourself?

I wish I could keep in contact with people better.

Ever been in love? 

No.

Facebook or Twitter?

twitta

Twitter or Tumblr?

tumbla

Names of your best friends? 

Claudbag, May Jay, Giada Giada Giada I MEAN Claudia, Mary-Jane, Jade. They all own very different pieces of my heart

Favourite animal?

SEAL my spirit animal

Do you tan a lot?

Nah, I don't take the sun well and I don't like sunbathing for long, I get bored and uncomfortable and there is too little gain.

Have any pets?

Not at the moment - I miss Bastet and Tao a lot though :(

How are you feeling?

Reasonably content, a fraction irritated, minorly conflicted on several counts.

Do you type fast?

YEAH once in Spain, one of the teachers got me to type something on the computer while the projector was on, so the class could see what I was writing, and then she just GASPED and was like "I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE TYPE SO FAST WHAT SORCERY IS THIS" and the funniest thing was that the whole CLASS was impressed like they were only 3 years younger than me?? Come on folks surely y'all can also type pretty quickly???

Do you regret anything from your past?

Many many MANY little things, very few large things. I do particularly regret not reading a wider range of books when I was younger, instead of rereading all the old ones, though, that was a really terrible decision in hindsight. BLAME IT ON THE TERTIARY Si.

Do you miss anyone from your past?

Yes.

Ever broken someone’s heart?

I am 200% sure I haven't, no worries on that front.

Have you ever been on a horse?

YES I HAVE it was really cool but riding a horse is SO much harder than I was expecting, to be honest.

Have you ever liked someone so much it hurt?

Goodness no. I rarely like people at all, never mind with any sort of intensity! Update: LOL U WAIT

Are you mean?

OH. NOW. This is interesting, because I used to be very mean, and on occasion I still can be - but it always was, and still is, an inadvertent meanness, where I'm just totally unaware that I'm overstepping. I am mean in my sense of humour and I don't entirely intend to hurt people, it just happens. And then I feel bad. AND IT TURNS OUT THAT NOWADAYS I AM INCAPABLE OF BEING INTENTIONALLY MEAN IN A FUN WAY like as in "you make fun of me, I make fun of you, neither of us means it" - no, I can no longer do that. It's infuriating, I end up just kind of staying permanently on the receiving end and unable to think of witty retorts quickly enough. ARGH.

Is cheating ever okay?

In relationships? No. In impersonal matters? Rarely.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Nah mate

Do you believe in true love?

Yeah mate

What makes you happy?
READING VOLTAIRE NOVELLAS IN THE ORIGINAL 18TH CENTURY FRENCH AT 3AM IN FRANCE WHILE EATING ALMONDS. FOR FUN.

The Crystal Ball

You there! Peeping into my tent! Don't be shy, come closer... what's that? You want to know your future? Well, let me just look into my crystal ball and find out what lies ahead...

Claudia
I foresee that in ten years, you shall have a manby your side, with a child named Francesca (commonly known as "Frannie") by your other side, and you shall own 100 westies.

In twenty years, you shall escape from a Korean jail led by a mysterious man who guided you with a lava lamp. The crime you committed was... well, let's not go there.

In thirty years, you shall get your first wrinkle. You will be DISTRAUGHT, and in your madness you will dye your hair ginger. Through a series of mishaps you will then meet your identical twin, who is also ginger. And an alcoholic. However they're nothing like you personality-wise so the world doesn't implode.

In forty years, you shall invent a machine which sends out eyesight-reducing rays, thus greatly increasing the percentage of the population that wears glasses.

In fifty years, you shall be in Vogue for being the best dressed woman of her generation, due to that legendary "heels on wheels" outfit you wore at 65.


Mary-Jane
I foresee that in ten years, you shall go temporarily insane after a successful prank was played on you by the Norse god of mischief. The doctors diagnose you as having been LOKI'D.

In twenty years, you shall recover from the madness... but not without having first read Fifty Shades of Grey while you were still crazy. Oops.

In thirty years, you're gonna be the very best, like no one ever was! To catch them was your real test, to train them was your cause! You had travelled across the land, searching far and wide... AND EVENTUALLY YOU CAUGHT 'EM ALL!!!

In forty years, you shall forget how to speak English (no matter, you were never good at it anyway - what IS the difference between seen and saw?!). But never fear! You shall still be a polyglot due to your continued mastery of both Spanish and Japanese.

In fifty years, you get a starring role on the final season of Game of Thrones, which was put on hiatus until GRRM published A Dream of Spring. From beyond the Wall grave.



Elizabeth
I foresee that in ten years, you shall rise through the ranks of Something Special, something of a prodigy, as it were, eventually reaching the esteemed position of HEAD CLEANING LADY.

In twenty years, you shall develop a keen interest in Shakespeare, travelling with Ms Taylor to Stratford every other weekend to check up on the latest plays.

In thirty years, you shall become the celebrated author of the world's first ever maths dictionary, which then is used as standard by every maths student doing an exam ever, as their formula booklet. They all love you for it.

In forty years, you shall become a grandmother in the literal sense of the word! But after fifty years of experience, this is nothing new to you.

In fifty years, you shall be named the official Next Mrs Keown and your life will be complete!


Kerri
I foresee that in ten years, you shall meet a mysterious man who is tall, dark and handsome. You shall marry him, then after realising that he doesn't really obey you the way a slave should, you divorce him.

In twenty years, you shall meet a mysterious man who is tall, dark and handsome. You shall marry him, then after realising that he's actually John in disguise, you divorce him.

In thirty years, you shall meet a mysterious man who is tall, dark and handsome. You shall marry him, then after realising that you actually don't remember enough Spanish to communicate with him, you divorce him.

In forty years, you shall meet a mysterious man who is tall, dark and handsome. You shall marry him, then after realising that you're old enough to be his mother, he will divorce you.

In fifty years, you shall win the lottery, and hire a Spanish interpreter so you can win back your old husband. However, John is the one that responds to your ad in the Mourne Observer so you remarry him instead and live happily ever after.

Amy
I foresee that in ten years, you shall be caught in an epic love triangle between a Mourne man and his Scottish doppelganger, aka the strangest boy you've ever met.

In twenty years, you shall realise that you never truly loved either of them and you will marry a cousin instead.

In thirty years, you shall develop a sudden and intense hatred for romantic books and films, and for the rest of your life, your favourite genre will be hardcore science fiction.

In forty years, a madman shall steal your car at an SU weekend and go on a killing spree, and after he has filled the boot with many many bodies, Driving Instructor Mark Allen will award him a driving licence! YAY.

In fifty years, you shall become a missionary. And you will CALL yourself a missionary o.O

Meme Reply For Claudia!

I posted a meme, Claudia asked me numbers, and now I am replying! Yay.

3 - A video that makes you laugh out loud

Julian Smith's videos!!!

5 - What would you like to accomplish this year?

It says so much about me that I genuinely am struggling to think of something lol. I would really like to get firsts in all of my modules this semester, I guess? But I don't think that's likely for Latin American Studies lol.

11 - What's been on your mind lately?

Well, at the moment I have Important Things to be doing, ie exams/revision. And for the past year or so, every time that there are Important Things that I should be doing, I either get addicted to something new, or else I get writing inspiration. This means that two weeks ago, I was just waiting for something to hit me, and then a week ago it was just like BAM, it's writing time! So writing has been on my mind lately.

13 - What do you like and dislike about yourself?

I like that I tend not to hold grudges, that I don't stress too much, and that my skin is fairly good. I dislike how hard I find it to make friends with and open up to people, and that I'm such a pest lol.

17 - Places you want to visit.

The Forbidden City in Beijing, Namsan Tower in Seoul, Machu Pichu in Peru.

18 - Celebrity crushes.

>.< Claudia! Why did you have to ask me this? I hate this question because I tend not to really get celebrity crushes, so idk.

24 - What was the best day of your life and why?

Probably one of the Stratford days? Because Stratford was just the best experience of my life, because I was constantly with awesome people and doing awesome things :D

25 - Favourite quote.

Ahhh I have so many favourite quotes, how do I choose just one?! WAIT. I KNOW. "Do you think it's soft like marshmallows? Or soft like pudding?" Ultimate favourite quote of all time with its unfathomable context. Yup.

Also "He who lives, sees. He who travels, sees more."

28 - Rant about anything.

It really annoys me how I can sometimes be with people that I like and having fun, and yet still suddenly feel like I need to be by myself for a while. I know it's an introvert thing and that it's just part of my personality, but it's a lose-lose situation because if I leave then I feel bad and miss out on stuff, but if I stay then I feel super uncomfortable no matter how much fun it is =/

39 - Something people seem to compliment you most on.

The only thing that comes to mind is my Spanish accent? There are a few people in my class who really struggle with getting the accent right and they've told me a few times that they wish they had mine lol.

67 - List 3 people who have influenced you and describe how.

1 - Patricia Briggs! She has changed the way I view any and all psychology (which sounds weird but I can't think of any way of putting it that doesn't sound odd) with her ridiculously awesome writing.
2 - Claudia squashed the bigheadedness out of me in second year and turned me into a nicer person!
3 - My parents... by raising me lol.

83 - If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be and what would you eat?

I would have dinner with the best cook in history, and we would eat lots and lots of chocolate cake :D

84 - What popular notion do you think the world has most wrong?

That vegetables are needed for a proper meal >.<

88 - List 5 things you would hope to be remembered for.

For being a good friend, for loving languages, for being a little bit odd, and for having a happy disposition.

Sorry there are some really boring answers in there - I tried to make them fun but it didn't work lol.

Why I Will NEVER Not Be Considered A Nerd

Was originally going to be a tumblr post, but it's taking a year or so to upload so I'm impatient.

LOOK AT THIS. This is an example of stupidity. Look at that glorious French dictionary; clearly, it is supposed to be the big dictionary as opposed to the portable one taken to class. Now look at that puny Spanish dictionary beside it - it looks like a slightly oversized portable one, but no, it's supposedly the 'big' dictionary in this equation. WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT IS NOWHERE NEAR GLORIOUS ENOUGH TO SATISFY MY NEED FOR IDIOMS!!!!

Also that's quite a glorious poster on the wall there, I adore it teeheehee.

That is all.

Stardust

It is late at night, I should sleep, I don't have to get up in the morning so I'm not sleeping yet, and I wanna blog but I never want to blog so I'm actually going to blog. However like I said it's late and I'm a bit hyper so therefore I am going to make no sense.

So remember how one time I did that blog where it was all my thoughts every five minutes? This time it's going to be all the INTERESTING things I think. So Claudia will understand parts of this and otherwise it may not make sense. Sowwee.

START.

"Baby youuuuu're... GONE! YOOOOOOOOOU'RE... GONE! Yoogeun gone!" It does not get any less funny ever. No seriously!

Kekekeke Ji Hoo's rolling the chair. (it is now obvious that I am on tumblr)

Lol Gatsby was in Breakfast at Tiffany's! Or at least it looked like Gatsby. Endlessly amusing tbqh.

I want people to start tinfoiling the doors again, that was good craic. It was like flatmate bonding! Like the time I was over - "Singin' our song, all day long, in CUUUULMORE!" - at Stran and there was a ghost lol. Except I was outside the bonding experience. Awww.

PINGU.

"What's G-Dragon's real name? Isn't it like Jiyoung or something?" "What?! NO. It's... um... JO KWON!" Hehehehehe FUSH! Also high high. Equally relevant.

MY NAME IS MINHO. Ha Claudia is a hyung-whore! NO. I AM TOO SEXY FOR YOU. I have a new necklace that has a clock and it's a KEY! <3 <3 <3 "Yoogeunnie... babo-neun." *nodnod* THAT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE I DIDN'T NEED SUBS AND IT WAS SASSY.

...oh dear goodness I DESERVE to be shouted at for this. It makes no sense unless you're ME, never mind Claudia. Oh in French Contextual Studies today they mentioned how they have films within films and I was like INCEPTION instead of SHAKESPEARE which is unlike me and I need to get a ticket for that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1qzm3UUTrg

I have a Mandarin buddy! Sadly we haven't actually learned any Mandarin yet, but this gives me a full set because Claudbag's my Korean buddy, May Jay's my Japanese buddy (oh no, you've lost your balance!) and now I have Jade! Yay!

JAKE STILL HASN'T TAUGHT US TO PLAY POKER, COME ON NOW BOIII.

heh 2PM.

*FrenchFrenchFrench* Au Revoir Les Enfants was so sad! En revanche, L'Arnacœur m'a fait rire beaucoup. Also whose fault is it that I now notice hot guys, Kerri or Claudia's?? Probably not Lizzie's. Eoin Macken read ASoIaF, this makes me happy.

I don't know whether to look forward to tomorrow morning because it's soon, or Saturday morning because it sounds awesome... so glad it's not the Monday-Wednesday BTS-update stretch lol. The wait would not be fun! EXCEPTION NOWWW.

Okay gonna shut up now. Sorry for tricking you into reading this. I have no explanation other than hyper feelings and late-night lack of sense.

On another note I watched Stardust last night and feel the need to laugh at Elizabeth not understanding it. Also, totally in awe that both Ben Barnes and Mark Strong were in it. They keep appearing these days! It's bizarre. Oh and Ian McKellan, mega lolz. Reblogged a post of him the other day, how random. And there was someone else??? Oh well. Most adorable film I've ever liked that wasn't actually a children's film, enough said!

I was going to add a picture but NO, I AM TOO SEXY FOR YOU. Oh wait, that'll work! Except I'll scar you forever. Go look at Claudia's twitter instead, that'll work :D

(Yes, this is actually my brain if it's sleep deprived. Not very many commas, no sir.)
