You sick of me yet? Meme catch-up post coming right up, so I hope not.
7. How you came acrosstumblr livejournal.
Well, it's all thanks to this person called
pebblegosling . She got one, pestered me to check her entries, and then made me make an account. So I have her to thank for finding you lovely people on my f-list, and for giving me an outlet to vent/write/rant/flail.
8. Are you a fitness guru or couch potato? Talk about your exercise habits.
Habits? What habits?
The mere thought of me as a fitness guru is laughable. Laughable.
Yeah, exercise, what is that?
9. Favourite meme at the moment.
Not sure I have one, actually. XD
10. Talk about your pets, or the pets you would like to have.
I have two dogs, called Coby and Anchor. They're crosses between Cocker Spaniels and Beagles and they are pretty cute. Even if 'they don't move' according to snuggle_monster. They are getting a bit old now. Let me see if I can find a picture.


The top photo is Coby, who is 'mine' and the bottom one is Anchor. So named for the patch of fur on his back that resembled one when he was a puppy. Now it looks more like a star. They are brothers from the same litter, and suffer from intense separation anxiety when one of them has to leave for whatever reason. Not for us, mind you, they're perfectly happy to be left alone - just god forbid one of them needs to go to the vet...
11. Your top 3 favourite bands/artists.
Washington.
Newton Faulkner.
The Jezabels.
The first two without question. The last, well, I don't think I've ever fallen in love with a band so fast. And that INCLUDES Washington. It took me about a line of the first song and that was it. I was totally speechless.
Before anyone says it, yes, Darren Criss would be up there but he's not at the top. =P
12. Your thoughts or opinions about Harry Potter.
Harry Potter. The first fantasy series I ever got into, properly. I grew up with the books, and the movies, and okay I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LAST MOVIE!
Ahem.
My favourite book is the 3rd, followed by the 6th and my least favourite is probably the 5th.
The best movie by far was the one that was just released. Intense. But still with it's amusing moments, of course.
I'll stop my disjointed rambling now. Have a video that pebblegosling posted a little while ago, it sums up the series perfectly in my eyes <3
13. Your thoughts or opinions about Mean Girls.
A good chick flick, the last movie starring Lindsay Lohan that I enjoyed, but I've only seen it once and that was enough for me. Unlike the obsession so many people seem to have with it (particularly at my school).
14. Do you have siblings? Talk about them, or talk about what it's like to be an only child.
I have one younger brother who will always be my 'little brother'. It vaguely freaks me out that he's turning 18 this year. I need to think of a present, actually. We actually get along now that we're both a bit older - which is great. 3 years is a gap that's just big enough to mean we fought ALL the time over stupid stuff, but small enough that now it works. He has a really sweet girlfriend who I get along with well enough, and they're pretty adorable.
Now I'm up to date, and I'll stop posting today. Promise.

Odd that there's a question about Mean Girls. Are people really obsessed with it? I had no idea. o_0 It's just one of those rewatcheable chick flicks I like to keep around. Although I lost my DVD of it, no idea where it got to, hm. :/
^^

Ahahah oh yes. It's one of the oft quoted movies here, and I'll admit it was funny. My school in particular had an utter obsession with it. I think it was something to do with the old principal using it as examples of stuff in assembly... but she left the year before I moved schools lol so I don't really get it.

Date: 2011-02-13 04:31 pm (UTC)Ahahaha that's so funny about your cats. Telling difference between cats and dogs maybe :P
Hmm. I've had a quick look at it before, and it doesn't really seem like my thing. I get excited about the movies, and reread the books a lot but I'm not exactly obsessive over details of the houses or anything like that. Does that make sense?

Date: 2011-02-13 04:58 pm (UTC)hahaha animals are so weird! It's so strange to me how my little cat can be so sweet and loving to me, but such a mean bully to the other animals in the house! XD

Date: 2011-02-14 12:40 am (UTC)Enough of my close friends are obsessed enough for me - tis fun :D
Oh, they are. I am not a cat person at all but cats utterly adore me. One of my friends has a cat who is usually ridiculously antisocial but will cuddle up to me and make nests out of my clothes whenever I visit.

Funny that, eh, our favourite artists being fairly similar eh? :P
