I like talking about myself

Okay, so last week, Kirsti gave me this blog award thingy over on her blog.

Hey thanks, K!


11 Facts:

1. I am a walking contradiction.
2. I have a habit of staying off of the internet for days at a time.
3. I have a freckle on my lip, which I think no one but me has ever noticed.
4. Rain makes me want to sleep until forever.
5. I know you all know this, BUT I LOVE LISTS.
6. I AM ADDICTED TO TYPING IN ALL CAPS.
7. Every time I become afraid I'm going to end up alone, God reminds me of the amazing friends that I have. (All together now: AWWW!)
8. I don't feel like I'm 26. Sometimes I get really weirded out when I start to think about how, for all intents and purposes, I'm an adult, even though I REALLY don't feel like it.
9. I'm running out of random things to tell you.
10. I gave someone beer as a birthday gift yesterday. It was Newcastle Brown Ale, in case you're wondering.
11. I am listening to Newsies (the movie soundtrack) in this coffee shop and almost failing at not bursting aloud into song.

Kirsti's Questions:

1. What's your favourite fictional pairing and why?
As in, favorite fictional couple? Well, I'm fond of Rose and Ten. Also, I honestly love Marco and Celia from The Night Circus. As well as Hermione and Ron from Harry Potter. They make me smile.
2. If you went travelling with the Doctor, what's the first place you would go and why?
Um. Too many places to choose from. So, I'm gonna say...he should surprise me. As long as it doesn't involve imminent death or injury.
3. What's your favourite Halloween related movie?
I don't really like Halloween-type movies that much, so I'd probably have to say The Nightmare Before Christmas.
4. If you could be any kind of animal, what would you be?
A cat. Mostly because I think they're hilarious. And if people were animals, I would probably be a cat. Let's be honest, here.
5. Cake or cupcakes?
Can't I have both?
6. What's your favourite song at the moment?
Any and all songs from Mumford and Sons' new album, Babel. I'm hopelessly addicted.
7. What was your favourite subject in high school?
Does choir count?
8. What's your favorite 90s TV show?
Pretty much any vintage Nickelodeon shows.
9. If you could be any superhero, who would you be?
Let's be honest, it's much more fun to be the villain.
10. What do you like on your pizza?
Pepperoni. Extra sauce. Extra cheese.
11. Do you have any weird phobias?
YES. Well, mostly they're weird quirks and not really phobias. Like, I have to have all of the doors closed at night when I'm sleeping--closet, bedroom, etc. I don't know why. But I can't sleep if they're not closed. I also have a distinct fear of sleeping or showering at night when I'm home alone. 

Here's where I'm supposed to nominate 5 people. But I'm going to cheat, as well as take a cue from Kirsti, and ask any and everyone who wants to post answers to the following questions in the comments! Also, I nominate these people:

My Dad
Emily (even though Kirsti already nominated her.)
Alice

5 comments:

  1. First of all, I'm totally with you on the doors having to be closed when I sleep. Secondly, I'm very impressed that you can stay off the internet for days, because the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is pick up my phone and check my email/Facebook/Twitter...

    1. What's the most terrifying dream you've ever had? This is probably going to seem really lame, but I once had a dream that I heard a noise outside and when I went out there, it was Oz from Buffy and he'd been hit by a car, and he died in my arms before the ambulance arrived. I woke up with tears streaming down my face and felt jumpy all day...
    2. What is the very best meal you've ever eaten? We went to Donovan's in St. Kilda (you can Google it) for my Dad's 60th birthday a few years ago. ZOMG, SO GOOD.
    3. Name one (or two) of your favorite books, so I can add them to my reading list. Jane Eyre, always and forever.
    4. Coffee or tea? Hot chocolate. Coffee is too bitter for me, and the smell of tea makes me gag. I'm weird.
    5. What is your favorite book in the Harry Potter series? Deathly Hallows.
    6. What is your favorite time-wasting activity? OH, HAI, INTERNET.
    7. Tell me one thing you like about yourself. My eyes.
    8. What do you do when you're sick at home? The last time I was sick was 15 months ago, but I usually lie on the sofa watching movies all day.
    9. Name your favorite guilty pleasure TV show. Dawson's Creek.
    10. What is the worst book you've ever read? The Mayan Priest. Hands down. There's a blog post about it somewhere in the depths of the archives. February of this year, I think?
    11. What do you want to be when you grow up? In a job that I love. Ideally, working with rare books, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one!

    1. THAT IS A SUPER TERRIFYING DREAM AND NOT LAME AT ALL. Also, I hate you for having gone so long without being sick. But mostly because I just got over a cold. Also also? I suppose by internet I mean keeping up with blogs. I get notifications on my phone, so if there are none, I have a tendency to just avoid it sometimes.

  2. So... am I answering in the comments, or on my blog?
