10-Day Meme: Day 2

Thursday, 6 January 2011
Nine things about yourself.

1
I almost always have a song stuck in my head - often just whatever I listened to last. At any rate, I think I have some sort of CD player in my brain...

2
I don't cry at films that are supposed to be sad (especially romances, ugh) - but if there's a sad moment in a generally happy film, I'll be in floods.

3
Even though I despise cleaning with all my heart, I'm kind of OCD about my room being tidy (Claudia has told me before that it freaks her out because it never changes, lol).

4
I would be amazed if anyone could name ALL of these: my two favourite book series, my three favourite music artists, and my four favourite TV shows. (This is a challenge - leave a comment with your guesses! You have to guess all of them, even if you're just putting in something random to make up the numbers. I'll give the correct answers on Day 10 of the meme - ooh, and bonus points if you can name my favourite character from each of the books/tv shows, not counting any reality shows, of course!)

5
I like to think I can cook. I can't. Apart from omelettes. ("Emma... did you even turn the oven on?")

6
I absolutely love writing, whatever form it may take - diary or bloggerish writing, fiction, French - so long as it's a fun topic, that is. I'm not so sad as to enjoy an English essay!

7
As far as I can tell, people who don't know me very well think I'm very hard-working and constantly concentrating in class. These people have never met my attention span, which is not just short, but dwarfish. Or attempted to copy my notes. Or sat beside me. Or heard me say something completely ridiculous and unrelated to anything (which I do VERY frequently). Not to mention that I literally NEED to listen to music to be able to concentrate on work! Etc etc. Basically I am a scatterbrain!

8
I hardly ever wear make-up, because I can't be bothered with it (and I never wear foundation because it just doesn't work with my skin!). But even though I hate to admit it, I'm starting to care a lot more about how I look - I only wear clothes that flatter me, and I even asked for new straighteners for Christmas. I guess everyone's prone to vanity sometimes...

9
I have never had a functioning nickname! Stich, Gizmo - lol junior school. Emz, ewww! Emboot - that's just a slap in the face! Welly Bin - a slap around the earring. Dilemma - well no one calls me that, it's just for the back of my hoody! So... it's a good thing I like my name then ^_^

  1. Ok, no one guessed my favourite things, but here are the answers anyway!

    BOOK SERIES
    -Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. Best books EVER, enough said!
    -Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I read these (and the spinoff Alpha & Omega series) in the summer, they're brilliant!

    MUSIC ARTISTS
    -Two Steps From Hell - EPIC cinematic scores, I could listen to them all day!
    -Lady Gaga - she's crazy, but I adore her.
    -Adam Lambert - aka recipient of anonymous letter number 4, literally the only singer whose album I can listen to the whole way through!

    TV SHOWS
    -Strictly Come Dancing - I'd love to be able to dance like that... and wear dresses like that /shot
    -Merlin - what can I say, it's MAGICAL!
    -Glee - everyone loves Glee, it's so much fun!
    -Degrassi - so dramatic, but I LOVE it!

    FAVOURITE CHARACTERS
    -Harry Potter: Luna, she's all kinds of awesome!
    -Mercy Thompson: Stefan, I don't even know why but I ADORE him!
    -Merlin: Gwaine, because he's charming and rogueish and HOT ;D
    -Glee: Kurt, because he's snarky yet adorable!
    -Degrassi: I CAN'T DECIDE!!! Either Zane (killer smile, and to quote the person who got me hooked on the show "I WANT HIM AS MY GAY BEST FRIEND!" - though in real life he's both attractive and straight...) or Eli (That SMIRK. Why do I not know any guys that are that smart/mysterious/sarcastic/caring/good-looking?!?!)
