11 Facts About Me

1. In this moment in time, I think I’m the only person and most definitely the only Marvel fan, who has not seen Black Panther. (YET!)
2. Sometimes, when I look at something or someone for a while, things start to become really warped; things will look really big or really small and I can’t stop it. I used to get it a lot at parent’s evening when you’d have to sit face to face with teachers, which is awwwkward.
3. I currently work in retail as a sales assistant, in a clothes store.
4.  I wear a yellow coat everywhere and a lot of people call me Georgie from It and Paddington.
5. I really want to voice a cartoon character one day. (Weird ambition, I know. XD )
6. My favourite animal are wolves.
7. I once accidentally ended up on set of Les Misérables (2012) while it was being filmed!
8. 2017, despite the negativity in the world, was the best year of my life.
9. I’m currently studying at sixth form, doing Biology, Chemistry and Psychology.
10. My favourite video game is Overwatch.
11. I used to watch Power Rangers in secret when I was younger because I didn’t want my mum to say I was a boy (she said it once as a joke but I was sensitive).

 

Starr’s Questions and My Answers

1. Who or what inspired you to start blogging?
   -I don’t remember exactly but what I do remember is reading Girl Online and realising that blogging was a cool hobby and I was interested in pursuing it again (I had a previous blog which I deleted). It was also the beginning of the year and I wanted to do something fun because I tend to get bored and depressed during the first months.
2. Have your blogging goals ever changed? How?
   -Probably. My intention when I first started blogging was to have fun and get better at writing and meet bloggers and although I still love meeting new bloggers and obviously still want to have fun with writing posts, my main goal is to spread awareness and share things I love and use WordPress as a platform to speak out, I guess.
3. Movies or books?
   I hate to say this but, I haven’t read in a long time. I’ve read a few pages every now and again but I’ve been really busy. I’m going to have to go with movies. (I also did Media Studies and now appreciate film production a bit more.)
4. Tea or coffee?
   Tea.
5. Has blogging changed you in any way, or does it help you in any way? If yes, how?
   When I write informative posts (e.g. about feminism) I do a lot of research and even if I don’t include it into the posts, I still learn a lot and it makes me more educated on a particular topic and also a lot more open minded. And when I research new stuff, I tend to tell my friends, so I guess it’s helped me and others. 🙂
6. What are your two favourite bloggers?
   I CAN’T PICK!!
7. What’s your favourite TV Show?
   More like, what isn’t my favourite TV Show. For someone who’s “always busy”, I watch a lot of shows. But I have to say The Flash or Stranger Things.
8. Are you a football (or soccer) fan? If yes, what team do you belong to?
   I am not a fan.
9. What are the things that make you feel happy about being you?
   I like that I’m hardworking. I make a lot of lazy jokes about myself but I actually work, study, and focus on other projects I’m passionate about all the time. And even though it may sound vain, I like that I make people laugh. It makes me happy that I make other people happy (it’s like a selfish selfless things XD ).
10. What are the things that make you sad about being you?
    I can be very self-conscious at times. I’m a little self conscious about my appearance.
11. What do you aspire to become in the future?
    I really want to work in a lab as possibly a biochemist or work in another biological/biomedical science. I also want to publish a novel in the future.
