Now, onto the 11 facts/confessions about moi! (Just realised I used several exclamation marks in a row. I apologise for the morning enthusiasm.)
1. I have a phobia of earwigs. Just the thought of them makes me feel sick... and yesterday I discovered one crawling on my chocolate bar.
THIS IS
SERIOUS.
I may never
eat chocolate bars again.
(I thought about posting a picture, but just the thought of looking at earwigs again made me shudder a little and I decided not to inflict this on you.)
2. I'd like
to try wearing coloured contacts. I want to see how many people actually
notice... plus I've always wanted to have green eyes.
3. I have
been known to eat spoonfuls of peanut butter (like, six) as a snack.
Just look
at that. How can you resist it? (I like the crunchy natural kind best. Putting things other than peanuts in it is just WRONG.)
4. Writing
is an addiction for me. (By writing, I mean my stories, novel, etc. This blog
is for fun/procrastination!) Sometimes I don't even enjoy it... but I have to
do it, otherwise my heart starts racing and my brain goes into overflow idea
mode. (Is this totally weird? Probably.)
5. I really
want to try fencing, except the only classes in my area are on Saturday
mornings. (Now, this is not an impediment because I'm too lazy to get up then, but
because it's often the only time I can hang out with friends.)
Doesn't
this look fun? Yet another reason I can't wait to move out!
6. Reading
the newspaper is a special treat in our household. The three of us (moi plus
parentals) get all excited whenever we remember to buy it, then spend the day
passing it between us and discussing the latest events.
...ok, so
we're lame. Don't judge.
7. I have stuffed
animals all over my bed and I bring them when I go on trips. (One of them even got a special post about him/her here!)
...What? They
might get lonely without me!
8. I check my email way too much, but take a super long time to answer. (I need to work on this.)
9. I NEED A JOB. I have literally applied everywhere but fast-food places in my town, and am the only person in my class without work.
(I know, I know, I shouldn't be picky... but the thought of being around that much meat makes me want to vomit.)
10. I'm incapable of going more than a couple of days (sometimes not even that long) without face-to-face conversation with a friend. I need social contact, and Facebook just doesn't cut it.
Plus, you can't do this!
11. I'd like to be able to play guitar better but I don't practice enough. I just never seem to have enough time for everything I want to do.
Now, for Niksie's questions...
Well, enough about me. Now I award this lovely award (can you say that? lots of 'award' in a sentence) to...

Now, for Niksie's questions...
1. What's the lesson you learnt most
from your parents?
Ooh, this is hard… maybe to realize that,
sometimes you don't enjoy something, but you still have to do it?
2. What's the hardest situation in your
life? How did you deal with that?
When I was younger, I skipped a grade (2,
in case you're wondering) and it was a huge readjustment; I had to leave all my
friends and join all these people I didn't really know (and, to be honest,
didn't really like). Where my 'old' class was easy-going and everyone got
along, my 'new' class was super cliquey and filled with drama. To be completely
honest, I still don't feel super close to any of them- we just don't share the
same interests- but I've learnt to make friends with other grades and outside
people now.
3. What's your favorite sport? (if
you're American, are you into soccer?)
Right now I'm going through a fencing
phase! (As mentioned above.) Other than that I love dance and basketball. (And
I HATE HOCKEY. So what if it's the 'Canadian sport', it's bloody boring.)
4. If you met Snooki, what would you say
to her?
I have no idea… I've never watched Jersey
Shore, so I'd probably walk away super awkwardly.
5. What's your favorite reality show?
Vampire Diaries? Hahaha, I don’t actually
watch reality TV.
6. What's your guilty pleasure?
CHOCOLATE. (Although after the earwig thing…)
Also shopping.
7. Do you believe in ghosts?
YES OH MY GOSH I THINK MY HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
(A post for another time, perhaps?)
8. If you were a movie character, who
would you be?
Cathy from Northanger Abbey. No contest.
(This might also be a little bit of wishful
thinking. Tilney + gorgeous dresses…)
9. What is your favorite moment of the
day?
Early in the morning, when I'm the only one
awake.
Or, just any time I'm alone in the house.
10. What's your childhood memory that
you're most embarrassed of?
I once bit a girl because she was really
annoying me. (I don't even remember what she did.) (And this may not seem that embarrassing,
but I was in grade 3. I should have known better.)
11. Mountain or beach?
Mountain! Yay for hiking! Here's a picture
of when we went to Spain… we walked all day, it was lovely.
Well, enough about me. Now I award this lovely award (can you say that? lots of 'award' in a sentence) to...

ahhh...i'm so sorry about the earwigs that make you think of never eat chocolate ever again!
ReplyDeletei never see Jersey Shore too. i ask that out of curiosity if other people think the show is dumb too like i do (i get the opinion from reading magazine).
you believe in ghost! *soulmate. i have a ghost experience, believe it or not.
thank you so much for playing. i feel entertained reading your answers
thanks- i hope i get over it soon O.o
Deletecompletely agreed! girls at school talk about it... ugh.
i definitely believe you, don't worry :) & i had fun!
Congrats on your award! And oh gosh I would completely freak out if there was an earwig on my chocolate bar! Scarred for life! I love that you're such a fan of Northanger Abbey. <3
ReplyDeletethe-creationofbeauty.blogspot.com
thank you :) exactly, it was awful! haha, Northanger Abbey is the best <3
DeleteI do the same thing with my email - it's bad.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE hiking! It's so hard to pick between water and mountains, though. I'd want both, because I'm greedy.
Thanks for linking up!!

DeleteHaha do you curl? I know it's Canadian so... haha
ReplyDeleteAlso, please post the ghost story!!! :)

Deletealrighty :D
Fun post (except the earwig part, ugh)!
ReplyDeleteI have worn contacts (not colored ones, just for vision correction) for a very long time now. And of course my friend JUST told me that apparently the brand I use makes colored ones also. So I am totally ready to try those too!
Also, I have tons of stuffed animals and usually pick one to bring on vacation with me. =D
