100 Questions Nobody Asks Tag

Hello!

When searching for blog ideas, I stumbled across this tag, and thought it a rather fun post to do. I know I've done a fair few tags, but I honestly couldn't resist this one and I promise I've got plenty of original posts lined up. Anyway, on with the questions!

1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

Normally they're closed just to give me extra space, but I can sleep with them open if I forget to close them.

2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotels?

No, but I steal the biscuits and 'milklets', the mini tubs of milk for your tea. 

3. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?

Out, because I know they'll only end up that way while I'm sleeping. 

4. Have you stolen a street sign before?

No, and honestly I don't see the appeal, you can just buy one in Ikea. 

5. Do you like to use post-it notes?

I sometimes stick them to my TV to remind me that a shows on, but other than the occasional 'kick me', not really.

6. Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?

I don't cut them out, but where I live you can get McDonald's ones on the back of bus tickets, and I normally end up throwing those out. 

7. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of bees?
Ummmm... Neither really, but I guess a bear? You'd look at bit pathetic if bees got you and made you all puffed up, but surviving a bear attack makes you look a bit more heroic. Wait, I would survive, wouldn't I?

8. Do you have freckles?

I do! Not many people know this, because they only come out when I've been in the sun, and lets face it, I never go outside.
9. Do you always smile for pictures?

Depends, really, it varies massively.
10. What is your biggest pet peeve?

I didn't think I had one of these up until recently, but it has suddenly came to light how much I hate people interrupting. I know it's incredibly cliche, and something your nan would say, but it really does annoy me. It's basically telling the other person that your opinion is more valid than theirs when you interrupt. So yeah, don't do it.
11. Do you ever count your steps when you walk?

No. I used to as a kid, but it just meant that it felt that the journey was taking longer.
12. Have you peed in the woods?

No, I've never 'picnic wee-ed'.
13. Have you ever pooped in the woods?

Definitely not!
14. Do you ever dance even if there's no music playing?
I'm always dancing! I'm always behind the counter at the shop I work in and whether the radio is on or not, I'm busy embarrassing myself with my dance moves.
15. Do you chew your pens and pencils?
Nope! I get scared that people will judge me :/
16. How many people have you slept with this week?

18. What is your song of the week?
Irresistible by Fall Out Boy, since it's been stuck in my head since I went to their tour.
19. Is it OK for guys to wear pink?
Of course! In fact, back when Peter Pan came out, Wendy was wearing blue and John was wearing pink, because back when the story first entered the world, those were the stereotypical gender colours.
20. Do you still watch cartoons?
Since I have three younger siblings and the mental age of a five year old. I obviously still watch cartoons.
21. What is your least favorite movie?
Good Burger, It's on Netflix if you fancy torturing yourself, but I hate every second.

Welcome to My Paper Life.

August & September Favourites

Hello!
I'm back! The laptop is finally letting me on, however Origin and Sims still aren't working properly. But, at least I'm able to blog now! Do any of you know what to do when you get a pop up saying something couldn't be located in the dynamic links library?
Anyway, onto the actual post:
Although it's officially the distant(ish) past, I didn't do an August Favorites. Therefore, I've decided to mush both August and September into one; prepare yourselves for a long one! I couldn't resist not doing August, since I've came across and rediscovered so much stuff this past two months, especially since there was quite a bit of it where I was unable to blog.

TV Shows:

Admittedly. I  caught on to this a little late, having only started watching it after the series finale, but I finished it pretty quickly and loved every minute of it. The show was unconventional in the sense that it didn't follow the common stereotypes that people expect of robots, and explored all the other areas that would exist if synthetics were real. Even though I, Robot gave me a fear of most robots, I was able to understand that not every difference in them would make them killers- although this may not be true in terms of Niska. Overall, I found the programme surprisingly enjoyable, and really appreciated the darker path it chose to pursue. Definitely one to catch up on before Series 2 airs.

Obviously, I can't do a TV section and not mention the Great British Bake Off. The skill! The patriotism! The mouth watering, stare-at-it-until-there's-a-puddle-of-dribble food! Every aspect of this show is perfection in the eyes of any Brit, hence the fact that I've been waiting for it since March. No joke, I was desperate for a show that makes me truly believe the only way to advance human life is to add Smellivison. With the finale next week, I have to admit that my money has got to be on Nadiya.

Fitness:

Now, before you all start having heart attacks because I hate sports and have made that quite clear, this type is quite different. You'll probably have all heard of Zumba before, but just in case you're a hermit, the best way I can describe it is by saying it's the way you dance when you're home alone, only it's choreographed so you feel totally kickass. Still not convinced? How about the fact that only the front row can really dance, and the rest are flailing around like whales? Subsequently, you'll never be the only fool who gets their lefts and rights muddled up. In my class, there's a man at about 60+ years, who - bless him - comes every week in a Stoke City shirt, and just bends his elbows, moves his arms in little circles, and runs on the spot for a full hour. There's just a great atmosphere, catchy songs, and generally, it's addictive. 

Food: 

Since I started my Food Tech GCSE course this month, I've gained a bigger insight into the world of cooking and all the technicalities involved (not going to lie though, the teacher couldn't make Uncle Ben's rice).

 As our first project, we're making an assigned type of bread, which we have tailored to suit certain needs and then altered to fuse different cultures of food together. I'm going to be doing a Gluten-Free Mexican Soda Bread, and because it's full of cheesy goodness and spicy flavors, I can't wait. Even though it will probably be the biggest tragedy since the Titanic and sink like it too. 

However, in the incredibly unlikely chance it goes well, I might consider posting the recipe. But it's only a consideration.

Side note: Is it a bit sad that I ended up mentioning this? Probably.

Place: 

I'm not going to go into too much detail, but the Little Dessert Shop is the best thing since the wheel. Seriously. As I said, no elaborations or anything, but I will leave you with one photo to entice you for when I do a full blog post on this little miracle. 

Films: 

Until recently, I regularly mourned the fact that Hugh Grant had hung up the heartwarming rom-com coat, but his fairly recent film, The Rewrite, saw him pick up said metaphorical coat once more. His character was a divorced, once famous screenwriter who is forced into flying to the States to teach a screenwriting class to make end's meat. The film focuses on his adaptation to the lifestyle he now leads, and how he reacts to politely being told his writing skills are old news, with only one blockbuster under his belt. As with any Hugh Grant film, there's romance - some a better choice than others - and a soothingly entertaining plot. However, the new concept that is used within this film is that the romance is left open, with nothing sealed or confirmed. The audience are fully aware that the only thing holding these two individuals together is the hope they share. Hope that they will work, that they will be the Happily Ever After they thought they had the first time around.

Just as a sidenote, I loved how the film managed to be unconventional, whilst also ticking all the boxes of a classic '90s Hugh Grant. It is extremely plausable that the events of this film happened after Notting Hill, for example. I just thought that was a really impressive way to displaying how a different angle or perspective can entirely change the course of a film. 

I know this is rather short, but I've got posts from my birthday and some Halloween blogs lined up, so keep an eye out!
