In the meantime, I was nominated for an award so I'll get on with that.
The rules:
-State 10 random facts about yourself.
-Answer the questions given to you by the blogger who has tagged you for the award.
-Tag more people.
-Give them 11 questions to answer.
Ok, 10 random facts, here goes...
1. I once had an odd fixation on blueberry flavour Nutri Grain bars
2. I love cereal/fruity/nutty bars. Love them.
3. I was so totally in love with Jesse from the film Free Willy when I was younger.
4. I once asked for a monkey for my birthday and was super annoyed when I was told no.
5. I have read everything Enid Blyton has ever written.
6. I did my undergraduate degree at the university where Enid Blyton studied.
7. I've never seen the film, Fame.
8. I don't really like the film Bugsy Malone. I'm sorry.
9. I have degraded myself by starting to drink decaf coffee, after spending so long attempting to develop a proper coffee habit. I'm ashamed and sorry.
10. If you spell my surname backwards, it says Yes I Am.... Maisey.... Yes I Am.... Maisey.... See?
Here are the questions asked me by Momina, the fabulous blogger who nominated me (thanks loads, by the way).
1- Who is the last person you usually think about before going to sleep?
Danda
2- Something you do alone, but wouldn't do in front of others.
Throw my head around a bit dramatically when playing piano.
3- Do you have any strange phobias?
I'm not keen on tin foil. I used to get terribly embarrassed if I opened my lunchbox at school and my sandwiches were wrapped in tin foil.
4- One Favorite Novel that you'd like to recommend people to read and why.
Definitely F. Scott Fitzgerald. But which one? Tender Is The Night. Or The Beautiful And Damned. Actually let's go with Tender Is The Night. Fitzgerald's ability to write characters is amazing. The minute details of how relationships work, how interactions and people become complicated and intertwined. Everything about life gains a beautifully tragic edge when I am reading Fitzgerald. Reading him makes me want to write, makes me want to be grand, makes me want to have fantastic unachievable dreams.
5- Do you take the shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels? :P
Yup. Still got everything from the room in the Savoy. The headed paper. The sugar packs. The soap. The shower cap. Everything.
6- Do you use Post-Its?
No.
7-If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
Right here in my house. On my road. On this lovely hill near my favourite park. With my lovely friends and neighbours.
8-What inspires you?
Life. Nature. Richmond Park. People. Silly things we do and say.
9- Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?
Done both. Bungee jumping more scary.
10- Do you ever count your steps when you walk?
When I was trekking the Great Wall in China and I was trying to learn some Mandarin, I counted my steps aloud from one to ten over and over to learn. That was eight years ago and I still can count to ten in Mandarin now!
11- Have you ever danced without music?
All the time. Honestly. All. The. Time.
Ok, now to tag some more people. As opposed to tagging them actually, I'm just going to highlight some new bloggers on the scene that I'd like some attention to go to because they are fab.
