Laura's Questions

 

1. What made you start blogging in the first place?
I originally started blogging as a short term thing to find my writing style, because I wanted to write a book. I fell I love with it and although I am still planning on writing a book, my blog is here to stay too.

2. What’s your favourite post and why?
Oh, this is a difficult one! I think perhaps this one about blaming the victim, as it's something I feel quite strongly about.

3. How do you relax?
Reading, writing, wine and Netflix (not all at once lol)

4. Where is your favourite place in the whole world?
Cheesy as it is, I would have to say Benidorm. I love it, and I feel so at home there.

5. What would your superhero name and power be?
I would love to be able to read minds. My name would probably be something like SuperSad, because in honesty, there's a lot in people's heads you probably wouldn't want to know!

6. Have you ever been in hospital?
Nope (touch wood).

7. Favourite drink?
Soft drink - Coke or coffee
Alcoholic drink - Vodka or Southern Comfort

8. Best book you’ve ever read?
There's so many books I've read and loved. Every time I'm asked this question, my answer is different. I loved Rosemary's Baby. It was one of the first horror books I read and it hooked me completely into the genre.

9. Favourite smell?
I know it's a cliché, but I really do like the smell of coffee brewing.

10. Favourite way to exercise? (Looking for inspiration!)
I prefer resistance training to cardio, so I tend to do weights. I haven't for a while though, I so need to get back into it.

Thanks again to Laura for the nomination!

My answers



Why did you start blogging?
I originally started blogging just to practice writing for an audience, but I fell in love with it, so here I still am! For more details, I wrote a post about it.

What is your favourite post to date?
So many to choose from! Probably this one. It's about an issue I feel is very important in today's society, but is often overlooked.

If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?
I would stop overthinking things, and just do them!

What are you most proud of?
Would it be too tragic to say this blog?

If you were given three wishes what would they be?
1. To have enough money to be able to not work, and actually live life rather than wasting it at work
2. To be able to read minds
3. For myself and my family and friends to always be happy and healthy

Which one of your possessions has the most sentimental value to you?
I'm not really one for attaching sentiment to objects. I believe that you're memories are in your heart and your head. If I was forced to choose, I would say the keep sakes of both my Grandfathers from when they died. (A pen and a set of darts!).

What is your favourite tipple?
This would be a tie between rose wine and Southern Comfort - I feel a weird cocktail mixing the two coming on!

What have you been reading recently?
I am currently reading a couple of books that are to be reviewed on my blog. I can't name them as they haven't been released yet. I just finished Grey by E. L. James and I'm also currently re-reading the Divergent series by Veronica Roth.

Who is your all time favourite artist/album/song?
I have so many! The ones I can listen to quite happily on repeat over and over are Taylor Swift and Led Zeppelin - kind of opposite ends of the scale there.

Share a recent picture of yourself (this is not compulsory)
The most recent picture I have of myself was for my personal licence, and it is far too hideous to share here or anywhere!

Thanks again for the tag!

Sisterhood Of The World Blogging Award!

I'm very excited to have been nominated for a Sisterhood of the World blogging award! Firstly, I would like to thank the lovely Amy from Apparently Awkward for the nomination.
Check out her fab blog here: http://apparentlyawkward.blogspot.com

The rules to accept the award are as follows:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link back to their blog.
2. Answer the ten questions you've been sent.
3. Create 10 new questions.
4. Nominate up to 10 bloggers to share the blogging love.

Here are the questions I was set by Amy and my answers to them.

1. If you could have dinner with any famous person (dead or alive) who would it be and why?
Oh, there are so many I could choose here! I think it would have to Sigmund Freud. I love the way our minds work, and Freud had so many weird and wonderful ideas, I would love to pick his brains and find out some more about his theories.

2. What's your favorite food to eat?
Again, there are loads I could choose! If I had to pick just one, I would have to go with cheese because I have it with everything!

3. Who would play you in a movie?
Lord knows lol. Maybe Tina Fey - she does sarcastic well!

4. Where is the best place you've ever been on vacation?
I know it's kind of cheesy, and nothing like the "real" Spain, but I love Benidorm and would move there in a heartbeat!

5. If you could be any animal, what would you be and why (actually asked this at job interview once!)?
I think I would like to be a dog - they have the life of Riley :)

6. If you could live in another country, which one would you choose?
America, specifically New York

7. Tattoos: yay or nay?
I don't have any tattoos, but I love them on other people

8. What's your favorite television series?
I'm not sure if it counts as a television series because it's a Netflix original, but I love Orange is the New Black

9. What's your favorite holiday and why?
Last year, I went away for a girly holiday with one of my best friends. It was great to just kick back, relax and have fun. I had almost forgotten how good holidays can feel after my last few had all involved my ex!

10. What are your blogging goals for 2015?
I would love to have 100,000 page views by the end of the year!

Now onto the 10 questions I am asking my nominees!

1. If you were given the chance to go walk on the moon would you do it?

5. Which item(s) can you never leave the house without?
6. If you had to take part in a reality TV show, which would it be and why?
7. If every job had the same salary, which job would you choose?
8. Would you rather: write a terrible blog post and have it go viral or write an amazing blog post and only have 10 people read it?
9. If you could be known for one thing, what would it be?
10. If you could change you're first name would you? If yes, what would you choose to be called?

And my nominations!
