37- What is your ideal bed? Why? 110- Say 5 facts about your bestfriend(s): 111- The last person you hugged? 226- Share the story of something that makes you smile: 253- One thing you’re excited for: :D

These are great questions, anon! I’m going to have fun answering them >:)

37- What is your ideal bed? Why?

Usually it’s pretty chilly where I am, so I have two blankets. One fluffy thin blanket, that feels like my cat’s fur, and another horrifically thick duvet on top. I love drowning in my blankets :’)

In summer, I usually just have a thin sheet, or nothing at all. Summer nights are too balmy for a covering…

110- Say 5 facts about your best friend(s) 

If you know me, you’ll know that I love my friends to ABOMINABLY HIGH LEVELS. LIKE, MT EVEREST ALTITUDES.  Sometimes I lie awake at night and randomly think about them and start smiling like a strange wolf, haha… I really do love them to absolute bits and pieces :’D

In no particular order!

1. Three of them are lactose intolerant. Two of them can have small amounts of dairy in foods every day, and the other can’t have any dairy at all, otherwise she’ll get violently sick. 

One day, we made… biscuits, I think? for food tech, and she was stuffing about five of them into her mouth.

After about a minute, we both realised what she was eating.

To this day, I’ve never seen a girl Naruto-run so fast out of a classroom like she did…

2. One of my friends is Bangla, but she hates fish. All fish. Every. Single. Type. Of fish.

Even smoked salmon.

She disappoints me every day.

3. One of them is my partner for all the sciences, and whenever she goes about making her jokes and innuendos and whatever, she giggles and whispers SO LOUDLY OMG. SHE’S SO SO CUTE, BUT WHENEVER WE TELL HER THAT SHE’S WHISPERING TOO LOUDLY SHE ALWAYS DENIES IT. SHE’S SO GODDAMN CUTE AND AN ABSOLUTE DOOFUS!! SHE CARRIES CLASS DISCUSSIONS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE WARRIOR BUT THEN THE NEXT MINUTE SHE GOES ‘HEY GUESS WHAT, CHEMISTS DO IT ON THE TABLE PERIODICALLY’ AND THEY’RE ALWAYS SO BAD BUT WE CAN’T STOP LAUGHING BECAUSE THE JOKES ARE THAT BAD AND SHE PROBABLY GOT THEM OFF FECKIN GOOGLE!!

4. One of them brings sweets absolutely everywhere. 

Once, in the morning, I witnessed her stuffing about seven strawberry laces into her mouth. She looked at me, smiled, and stuffed some blue stuff into her mouth, too. 

I don’t even know what the blue stuff is, but I will forever thank her for being my sweets supply wherever I go.

5. One of them gives the best hugs. just. omg. She’s quite a bit taller than me and she’s so so cuddly, and whenever she sees me (or any of our friends!) she does this Olympic athlete sprint towards me and gives such a warm and tight and long hug and it’s AMAZING I KID YOU NOT I LOVE HER TO PIECES

Aw, I wanted to gush for longer! ;–;

111- The last person you hugged?

No. 5 above, after English on Friday! Honestly, though, I hug a lot of people every day - at least 10, I’d say, so this question was pretty hard to answer. :’)

226- Share the story of something that makes you smile

MY BRONZE DOFE EXPEDITION LAST YEAR, HANDS DOWN. 

For context, I was with a group of 7. All of them are my close friends, and we were all pretty enthusiastic about the expedition. :’D

Mind if I make a list? The entire expedition is a whole story by itself, and I won’t do it justice if I make it short!

(Under the cut because this got long!)

I was in charge of bringing the matches. I FORGOT TO BRING THE GODDAMN MATCHES

You know the friend from above - my ever-faithful sweet supplier? As a joke, we all told her she should bring as many fizzy drinks as she could carry.

She brought a 12-pack of Monster. And an entire loaf of bread.

Traipsing around in the British countryside is super fun!

Until you realise that you have no flippin clue where you are, and an angry farmer is driving at you with epic deadly intent in those little golf-cart vehicles that farmers magically seem to have (and probably with pitchfork in hand, too…. hsdfajgfh he was… an Experience)

I read the map upside down. (I still hate myself for this)

Most of the time we were looking at awe at the countryside scenery.

ALL THE OTHER TIMES WE WERE SWEARING LOUDLY AT THE MUD. IMAGINE A GAGGLE OF SPOTTY TEENAGERS CRAWLING THROUGH MUD ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, SPITTING AND SWEARING AT THE GROUND

Petting all the horses! THEY WERE SO CUTE.

I led my team through a thicket of brambles. They were really painful!

Until I realised that I led them in the wrong direction.

WE WERE CHASED BY ALPACAS. EVERYONE RAN, BUT I DIDN’T, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE FUCKING HORSES

(We jumped a fence to escape. I don’t even know whose field we ended up in-)

At one point, we were so lost that we ended up going off the map. 

(At that point, we all sighed, threw down our rucksacks and proceeded to munch on Doritos, because, logic.)

At about sunset, we ended up on a motorway.

Obviously, logic dictates that you’d get off the motorway and find a safer place to read the map again, right?

WRONG.

WE WALKED ALONG THE FUCKING MOTORWAY.

PLEASE DON’T DO THIS. IT WAS SO STUPID AND DANGEROUS AND TO THIS DAY I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE WE DID THAT

It was getting super super dark, and we still hadn’t reached the campsite, and we heard a man’s voice behind us?? And we were very frightened???

It was actually a really sweet Chinese couple who asked us if we were okay! (I love them sm, they were so so kind)

We wanted to get to the campsite at 3pm. We got there at 10pm.

We made smores at camp, and did that thing where you twirl the stick around in the air and watch the flame trail it leaves behind. Our campsite was next to a lake of sorts, and lemme tell you that having smores and laughing around a campfire with your close friends and the most wondeful scenery ever is so, so beautiful.

All 7 of us (and another who joined because, reasons!) squashed up in one tent, instead of the two we were supposed to, because, friendship.

Y’see, 8 people is definitely too much for one tent. But we made it work!

(I was laying diagonally across 4 people, squashed on top of @kokoscrazyblog ‘s stomach. She repeatedly told me to get off, but I said something along the lines of ‘hhhrrrrghghghghh no, I Warm Am…’)

(Two people were crouched at the tent entrance, munching crisps all night long. I kid you not, I woke up halfway through the night, and saw them in quiet conversation, stuffing their faces like goddamn hamsters)

At one point, my friend screamed, because I was sleeping with my eyes open, and my head was tilted nearly 90 degrees in her direction. (She called me traumatising and satanic. :( )

At another point, I dimly registered the soft pit-pattering of rain on the tent ceiling. Obviously, I told my friends to watch out for the rain whenever they wanted to go to the toilet at night.

In the morning, my friends looked at me weirdly. Koko informed me, later, that I had actually told them that ‘it was raining eggs… Watch out for the eggs…..’

I tried to toast bread with a trangia, Everyone laughed at me. :(

Near the end of our expedition, we all picked up walking sticks, and pretended we were all Gandalf. (It was GOOD)

Honestly, I think I’ve forgotten so many things, but DofE was something I enjoyed immensely, and the entire experience was so amazing that I’ll never forget it :’) Doing it with the right people is key! Ahh, I want to go back now…

253- One thing you’re excited for: :D

SUMMER! I’ve got so many things planned!

First, straight after my last exam, my friends and I are going to watch Incredibles 2, eat a lot of popcorn, and then find a park and bask in the content feeling of friendship. And no more exams. And summer, in general.

In summer, I’m hoping to have a ton of movie marathons (Harry Potter, LotR, every Bollywood classic there is, STUDIO GHIBLI and much more!) Probably a Mario Kart party, and if SSB5 is out by then, I’ll have a Smash party, too :D

Starting Gold DofE! That’s a very big thing.

The Challenge will take up three weeks by itself. I don’t know if I’m going on holiday (probably not), but yeah - summer should be amazing.

Thank you for the questions, anon! I had tons of fun thinking up answers for these :’)

send me a number and I’ll answer it!
