The Cardigans - Erase and Rewind
 
I was tagged by one of my favourite Polyvorers @stag-beetle.

A - AVAILABLE: I am not, how odd!

B – BIRTHDAY: 10th January.

C - CRUSHING ON: I'm going to be very PC and say my boyfriend.

D - DRINK YOU LAST HAD: Water, my fav (seriously).

E - EASIEST PERSON TO TALK TO: My boyfriend is one of my best friends, plus I spend most of my time with him, so it would have to be him. Though my 2 other best friends aren't far behind, neither is my Mum.

F - FAVOURITE SONG: I'm with stag-beetle on this one, my favourite song changes all the time. Maybe The Lengths by The Black Keys at the moment?

G - GUMMY BEARS OR GUMMY WORMS: Neither, I don't eat gelatine being a vegetarian.

H – HOMETOWN: Sydney.

I - IN LOVE WITH: A new salad dressing recipe I've adapted. I couldn't think of anything more romantic.

K - KILLED SOMEONE: No, but there are many, many people I would like to kill, like cowards who torture defenceless animals or children.

L - LONGEST CAR RIDE: Haha what an odd question, I have no idea, probably around 12-15 hours?

M - MILKSHAKE FLAVOR: Caramel! I'm the only person I know who's favourite flavour is caramel but I just love it.

N - NUMBER OF SIBLINGS: 2 (1 half brother and 1 half sister).

O - ONE WISH: Either the end of the dog meat trade in China or to become a successful film or stage actress.

P - PERSON THAT CALLED YOU LAST: My boyfriend.

R - REASON TO SMILE: Heart warming stories about people making a difference in the lives of others (human or animal). Or rain. Or a breathtaking view.

S - SONG YOU LAST SANG: Bohemian Rhapsody because I read it in stag-beetle's tag and it's very catchy, haha.

T - TIME YOU WOKE UP: 8.30am and 3.30pm. Late night and an interrupted sleep.

U - UNDERWEAR COLOUR: Black.

V - VEGETABLE: Sweet potato.

W - WORST HABIT: Going to bed too late.

X - X-RAYS YOU'VE HAD: Probably just one for a fractured arm when I was a kid, I can't really remember.

Y - YEARS LIVING WHERE YOU LIVE: 7. Wow, that went quickly.

Z - ZODIAC SIGN: Capricorn.
 
Favourite animal: Don't make me choose! I guess I have to say dog but I love them all.

What colour do you wear most?: Probably black... even though you wouldn't really associate me with it, it just happens to be the colour of most of my favourite items of clothing, plus it goes with all other colours.

Least favourite colour: Depends on context. In terms of clothes probably brown, it's very unflattering on me.

What are you listening to : My gas heater hissing very quietly.

Can you whistle?: I can indeed.

Do you believe in miracles?: I don't think so. I'm open to being proven wrong though.

Do you believe in magic?: Not in the conventional sense of the word, but probably in some form of magic.

Love at first sight?: Nope.

Do you believe in Santa?: Haha unfortunately no.

Do you like roller coasters?: Very much so. I'd go so far as to say I love them.

Have you ever been on a plane?: Yep.

Have you ever been to the ocean?: As I was telling stag-beetle I live less than 5 minutes from one!

What was the last thing you bought?: Some groceries. The last thing I scanned was an avocado I believe (we have the option of self-serve check outs in Australia). (And the avocado had a bar code on its sticker if you were wondering how I scanned an avocado).

What was the last thing on TV you watched?: I don't watch TV very often, I watch everything on my computer. The last TV show I watched (about 10 minutes ago) was the second last episode of season 4 of Arrested Development.

Do you cry when you get an injury?: Depends on how bad the injury is! I've been known to laugh hysterically as well. In fact I rolled my ankle and fell over with no one around me in the middle of a basketball game the other night... I certainly laughed then, despite the not-so-insignificant pain.

Do songs make you cry?: There are absolutely songs that make me cry or have made me cry. I also cry a little inside when I listen to any of the pop radio stations at the sound of what constitutes popular music today.

Are you a happy person?: Up and down.

What is your current hair colour?: Light brown.

Your eye colour?: Hazel (my fancy word for brown).

Short or long hair?: Uh probably classifiable as long.

Height?: 169 cm (5'6-5'7).
 
I can't think of anyone else to tag as I did a tag like 2 sets ago! But please do do the tag if you're so inclined and tag me in the description, I'd love to read your answers.
 
Thanks again stag-beetle! xx

The Shangri-Las - Give Him a Great Big Kiss
 
I was tagged by the incredibly talented and very kind @stag-beetle

Rule 1: Always post the rules.
Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you has written and write 11 new ones.
Rule 3: Tag 11 new people .

1. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Back to New York! I went there in 2007 and I miss it like crazy, it gives me butterflies just thinking about it. We're meant to be. (I’d also love to go to endless other places might I add, like Portugal or the south of France, but NYC is just the top of my list at the moment).
 
2. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?
This is a good one! Um, well I was going to say something about New York, or some amazing moment at a music festival, but I lost one of my closest friends at the beginning of the year. I miss her every day and I keep wanting to tell her. So I'd probably just choose one of the times I was with her and we were laughing or dancing like idiots.
 
3. What were your highs and lows of this year?
Well it's still early days but probably my birthday for one of the highs; a lot of my friends were there and together for the first time in ages. For the definitive low, losing that friend I mentioned in the last question a week later.
 
4. What is your favorite hair color?
Jeez! Hard! Probably depends on context, but I have to be boring and say blonde or brown. My mum had BRIGHT orange hair for a while and rocked the hell out of that (like Leeloo from the Fifth Element), so I guess I have a soft spot there.
 
5. What do you look for when it comes to making friends?
Compassion, brains and a sense of humour.
 
6. What are your three favourite movies and/or books?
Just rolling out the mega-questions here, another hard one! For movies I'd probably go with (Baz Luhrmann's) Romeo + Juliet, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and American Beauty, but there are like 1000 other favourites like the Lord of the Rings trilogy (yes, that counts as one) and the Land Before Time and the Dark Knight and Midnight in Paris and Balto and Groundhog Day and Kill Bill and Good Will Hunting and Half Nelson and Ocean’s 11 and the Breakfast Club and the Bourne Identity and Moonrise Kingdom and the Muppet’s Christmas Carol and the Princess Bride (not to be confused with the Princess Diaries) and Toy Story and Wayne’s World and Apollo 13 and Blow and Crazy Beautiful and Garden State and Footloose and the list goes on and on and on and on... For books I’d probably choose The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Lord of the Rings trilogy (again, yes, that counts as one) and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (don’t even mention the movie to me). I know I should have more books than movies, but I’m addicted to film!
 
7. What's your favourite season?
If you’d asked me two years ago I’d have said winter, hands down, but I’m coming around to summer! I think probably summer these days.
 
8. Who has inspired you in your life and why?
Anyone who commits themselves to helping animals. There are so many incredible people out there working and fighting so hard every day to protect these creatures that don’t have their own voice and they’re fighting against so much harsh criticism and dealing with such horrific and heartbreaking realities. They’re my heroes.
 
9. What are you looking forward to in the next week?
ONE OF MY MOST INCREDIBLE, IMPORTANT, AMAZING FRIENDS IS COMING HOME AFTER TWO YEARS IN LONDON ON FRIDAY!
 
10. Do you fall for people easily?
That would be a definite yes.
 
11. What makes you laugh no matter what?
My best friend telling me about awkward things that have happened to her, or my telling her those stories of my own. Nothing like a bit of self-or-best-friend-deprecating humour.
 
11 new questions, huh? OK, I’ll give it a shot (I’m certain there are going to be theme repeats, I’m sorry):
1. What are you most passionate about in life?
2. Who is your favourite musician or group?
3. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you or a close friend in the last few years?
4. Do rollercoasters make you deliriously happy or scared out of your mind? (Yes, this is an either or, there is no in between!)
5. I’m sorry, I have to go here, I’m running out of ideas – who, if anyone, do you have a celebrity crush on?
6. Do you play an instrument?
7. If you could pass one law in your country right now, what would it be?
8. If you had your ideal job, what would it be? Do you have it?
9. What’s your favourite food?
10. If you could sit down and talk to anyone in the world, who would you talk to?
11. Who are you closest to in your family?
 
I tag:
@ohwow-queenbee
@reblou
@elevatormouse
@koby
@kokafor934
@imoustache
@hatsgaloore
And I can't think of anyone else! I'm sorry!
 
Sorry if you don't do tags, answer at your leisure :)
