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.
