“I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic — in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.”
—Anais Nin
adventure is my passion; i suffer dreadfully from wanderlust. do you share the yearning to travel?
i’m in love with chowder; he’s a gorgeous, little odd-ball of a thing. what about you?
1. your middle name name and how you feel about it?
achan, it means ‘rising from the face of adversity, like a phoenix rising from the ashes’. i think i’ve grown into it.
2. talk about your piercings and tattoos, if you have any?
my ears and nose are pierced, the latter four times in round about the same place & i have two tattoos and am thinking about getting a third pretty soon. the first was done during less difficult time in my life than the second, but i tend to get work done when i need a physical manifestation of the fact that things will eventually be okay.
3. your favourite television program.
location, location, location; i worship at the alter of kirsty allsop.
4. write about your closest friends.
i now know who they really are and have met even more special, special people that have close friend potential too.
5. tell us your three favourite colours.
black, white, red.
6. your favourite season, why?
spring, it’s that time full of beauty, opportunity and when life seems most full of promise and hope.
7. how you came across tumblr and how it’s changed your life?
just last year and i can’t really remember how; but i used it as an outlet during a difficult time and it seemed cathartic at the time. now it’s just a collection of pictures, really.
8. are you a fitness guru or a coach potato? talk about exercise habbits.
err, i don’t have the self-discipline, neurosis or crippling insecurity to worry about my weight all that much, even though for health purposes it’d probably be wise.
9. favourite meme, at the moment?
err, i don’t think i use the internet enough to really be abreast of all the current hip and happening memes.
10. talk about your pets or the pets you’d like to have.
there’s a baby mouse currently running rampant in my living room and i’m pretty sure there’s another one in my bedroom.. joy!
11. your top three favourite bands.
bring me the horizon, you me at six, evita (none of which i’ve listened to in a while).
12. your thoughts or opinions about harry potter.
i want to do entirely inappropriate things with daniel radcliffe, rupert grint and rob pattinson (as cedric diggery) that would not be deemed film-reel worthy.
13. your thoughts or opinions about mean girls.
it’s aiiiiiiiiite, i guess.
14. do you have siblings? talk about them or what it’s like to be an only child.
i have a brother that i hope the world will grant all it’s success and good fortune to, three step-brothers who are interesting, exciting people, a step-sister i’ve never met and a possible half-sister that i don’t think exists.
15. tell us your favourite junk food.
bread; i don’t really eat junk anymore, but my weakness for bread and butter cripples me.
16. your favourite disney princess movie?
either snow white, the little mermaid or anastasia.
17. your thoughts on ugg boots?
only when in need of comfortable footwear, especially after an entire day spent on one’s feet in heels.
18. do you drink soda more often than milk?
i’m lactose intolerant, but my teeth are too buggered for too much soda.
19. the initials of your crush?
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.
20. do you wear glasses? if so what are they for?
well i’m supposed to for reading, but i can never really be bothered.
21. your favourite subject to study?
classics, philosophy, politics, history; i like to teach myself new things in my spare time. i think i’m going to try and re-learn a couple of languages next.
22. do you play a sport?
i’m a debater; it’s the sport for those not willing to actually leave their houses and be active, but rather would like to exercise their immense thinking capabilities.
23. your opinions on lady gaga.
she’s manages to represent the microcosm of society, pop-culture and all things strange in a over-hyped, quite frankly salubrious stage shows and videos. she has some good songs though :)
24. tell us about the last movie you saw in the theatre?
it was a last attempt at trying to save a ship that was sinking fast, plagued with scurvy and wood-rot. it was despicable me; it was extraordinary.
25. tell us about the last book you read?
war and peace by leo tolstoy.

no, i’m alright actually. thanks.
