I remember getting so many from different people and even multiple ones from the same people but I never really bothered doing them myself. Ain't nobody got time for that! Err...apparently everyone else had time besides me, who deliberates far too long over the perfect answer and worries how someone could interpret it. I mean, how can you even pick your favourite song when choosing between top hits like, Hollaback Girl, Drop It Like It's Hot, and Beautiful Soul back in 2005?
But there was one evening that I finally sat down and spent ages hemming and hawing trying to fill one out. I triumphantly hit "send" only to have a big internet fail, which deleted the last hour of my life. I didn't try again. That was a life lesson right there, somewhere.
I have since come to believe that spending time thinking about and discovering what you like is not a waste of time at all and it's fun seeing how your interests change. Thinking about all of this came about because I was browsing through my neglected hotmail account and came across some old ones from Janessa and Sarah, smiling to myself reading their old answers and seeing how those answers have changed; feelings on tattoos, clothing styles, and favourite foods. I kinda wished I had given the list driven time capsule another shot!
In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, I decided to fill one out and share it here, with some minor additions and alterations. I figure in a decade or so, in a fit of nostalgia I'll come back and enjoy these delightful answers.
Click below to check out the survey.
1. What time did you get up this
morning? 9am. That’s when I set my alarm anyway...
2. Diamonds or pearls? I don’t own
either, but I turn to my cheap pearl earrings most often.
3. What was the last film you saw at
the Movies? Mockingjay Part One - so good!
4. What's your favourite TV
show? Drop Dead Diva at the moment. Was recently catching up on a mix of GoT, Gilmore
Girls, The 100, Grey's Anatomy and Republic of Doyle before that.
5. What did you have for breakfast
this morning? Leftover sweet potato and ground beef breakfast casserole that I made.
6. What's your favourite cuisine?
Italian or French. Homemade soups and breakfast foods are also pretty up there.
7. What foods do you dislike? I can't do runny
eggs, ever; I tend to avoid soda in general but Coke and Pepsi are the worst. I usually only drink them if there are no other options.
8. What is your favourite chip
flavour? I enjoy most kinds but when I purchase them I usually stick with
Original, Ketchup or Roast Chicken. Love me some crunchy Kettle cooked chips.
9. What's your favourite CD at the
moment? Taylor Swift 1989. Can't deny it.
10. What kind of car do you drive?
Chevy Cruz – the family car.
11. Favourite sandwich? Anything on soft,
toasted bread, really.
12. What characteristics do you
despise? Dishonesty, selfishness, egotistical drives.
13. What is your favourite type of clothing? I'm torn between being comfortable and fancy. I could live everyday in leggings, boots and comfy sweaters, but I also love looking put together in a cute dress and heels. Depends where I am.
14. If you could go anywhere in the
world on vacation, where would you go? I have plenty of destinations on my wish list but I would like to start with Europe. Always been a dream to go to France and Italy. And there are lots of friends close by to
visit along the way.
15. What colour is your bathroom?
It’s got a white and mint green thing going on, which makes it sound nice. I cover the walls with my paintings,
the only control I have in there.
16. Favourite brand of clothing?
H&M. Modcloth, Urban Outfitters, American Eagle, and Target are a few more that I like to browse. I prefer to pick clothes that don't broadcast the brand too obviously, and aren't so trendy that it's out of style by next season. There are always exceptions.
17. Where would you retire? Somewhere in view of the ocean or a lake. My time cruising along the coasts of Alaska (and all of my tumblr browsing) makes a cabin in the woods seem like the most quaint, ideal location; complete with a handsome, plaid-wearing husband to chop all the wood to throw on a fire as I bake bread and make stew-because I'll be a fantastic little homemaker by then. I'd like to live in peaceful area that's close enough to a city that I wouldn’t have to drive half
a day to see civilization. Much like the way I grew up only surrounded by trees and nature and stuff.
19. What was your most memorable
birthday? This year’s! I spent my birthday with Sarah and
Brandon in New York and got to see Wicked for the first time on Broadway! It
will be hard to top that!
21. Favourite sport to watch? The Olympics sums it up.
22. What is your favourite hair trend? For the guys-I am surprisingly attracted to beards and man buns. It's kind of taken over. But I definitely love a good fade. For the girls-I'm still loving ombre hair. And red. Mermaid hair.
23. What is your favourite thing on the Internet? I still like Grumpy Cat, the Adventures of George Washington, hashtags, and a big thanks to Robyn for this find: Christian Girl Instagram.
25. Were you named after anyone?
Great Grandmother and my mother.
26. Do you wish on stars? Of course.
27. When did you last cry? A
half an hour ago while watching the end of another cheesy Christmas movie.
28. Do you like your handwriting?
Yes, I do!
29. If you were another person, would
YOU be friends with you? I’d like to think so.
30. Are you a daredevil? I certainly have my
moments. I went skydiving in 2012, the most extreme thing I've ever done. I'd do it again. I also have the urge to climb things when I’m
feeling restless.
31. Do looks matter? Yes and no. Attraction
is important, but if they don’t have a kind personality to match then I wouldn't be interested, not in a romantic sense. Chemistry matters. Must love animals.
32. How do you release
anger? Crying, yelling, running; depends how “hangry” I am.
33. Where is your second home? Disney
Cruise Line. My longest home away from home.
34. What was your favourite toy as a
child? Dolls, dinkies, or a pen and a notepad. Spent most of my childhood drawing mermaids.
35. What class in High School was
totally useless? Economics. It could have been really useful, but it was difficult and dry learning it in French. Wish I could have done something a little more marketable like the East Coast Lifestyle kids. Although I did have a lot of interest in my friendship bracelets. Shoulda capitalized while I had the chance!
36. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Only if I like you. Lolz.
37. Favourite movies? RomComs, Action
and Drama. Epic movies about Utopian societies or Underdogs. French films. Films that do justice to their books. Disney anything. ie. Amelie, Populaire, Beauty and the Beast,
Hunger Games, LOTR, Thor, Harry Potter, Wreck It Ralph, Divergent.
38. Who's the last person to send you a letter in the mail? Paula! She sent me a postcard while she was travelling in Australia!
39. Do you untie your shoes when you
take them off? Not usually
40. Do you think that you are strong?
I surprise myself.
41. What's your favourite ice cream
flavour? Cookie Dough
42. What are your favourite colours? They usually rotate between: All the shades of Blue, Mustard Yellow, Burgundy, Grey. My wardrobe choices make this the most obvious.
43. What is your least favourite
thing about yourself? The way I sometimes doubt myself.
44. Who do you miss the most? My
university, ship, and camp counselor friends. I can't begin to name them all.
45. What are your favourite hobbies? Painting, drawing, reading, journalling, photo-taking, travelling.
46. What colour pants are you
wearing? Grey
47. What are you listening to right
now? My dog, my little sidekick, napping on the floor.
48. Last thing you ate? One of the sugar cookies I made. An annual experience.
49. If you were a crayon what colour
would you be? Teal or burgundy, probz.
50. Last person you talked to on the
phone? One of my friends.
51. What is the first thing you
notice about the opposite sex? Their eyes. Then their smile, style, and how they treat other
people.
52. Favourite Drink? Water, fruit
smoothies, coffee, tea, chai tea lattes
53. Do you wear contacts? Sometimes.
54. Favourite Day of the Year?
Christmas! Or any day where I get to visit somewhere new.
55. Scary Movies or Happy Endings?
Happy Endings.
56. Summer or winter? Fall wins,
actually. But, to answer the question a bit of both. We get too much of the rainy in-between here.
57. Hugs or Kisses? Both, but if I
could only have one I would choose hugs. Anyone can give you a hug, not
everyone can give you a kiss. Loves a good snuggle.
58. What Is Your Favourite Dessert?
Adam’s Peanut Butter Fudge Ripple Cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory, but I
would settle for any kind of chocolate cheesecake, hotfudge brownie sundae, cupcakes, crepes, or yummy
French macarons. There are way too many delicious desserts to choose just one.
60. What Book(s) Do You Want To Read Soon? 'Not That Kind of Girl', 'Girl Boss', 'Yes, Please'. (Lots of girl power)
61. What Did You Watch Last night on
Netflix? Drop Dead Diva
62. Favourite Smells? Maybe a big cliché but freshly baked bread, freshly cut grass, freshly brewed coffee
and chai lattes; cinnamon, vanilla, 'So Pink' by Gap, I could go on.
63. Least Favourite Smells? Petrol, New Car smell, burnt matches, offensive amounts of cologne, my hair and clothes after being at a campfire-not to be confused with the campfire itself, that smell is glorious.
64. What's the furthest you've been from home? Either
Hawaii, or Cartagena, South America! I didn't look up the distances. I have to admit, the last few years have
brought me to some really beautiful places.
Well, I don't think things have changed for me much; it still took way too long to come up with these answers! Good fun though and I love to read the FAQs about other bloggers.
Thanks for reading!
