Get to know me

I was tagged in one of this adorable “get to know you” posts by the lovely @friendly-neighborhood-witch​. Thanks for the tag, witchy! <3

Name? Anastasia

Age? 21 (but Imna be 22 in like nine days, wooo!)

Height? 5′7″...I think? maybe 5′8″

Where you’re from? Maryland and Massachusetts. But my favorite place to have lived is definitely Ireland.

Favourite song? Yo, how you gon’ ask me to pick just one? I have like twelve million favorite songs so I can’t pick just one! But here are some that I listen to when I’m having a shitty day and need a bit of a pick-me-up: No Such Thing - John Mayer

Just like That - The Coronas Get Loose - The Coronas Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club

Geronimo - Sheppard

My Favorite Things - Leslie Odom Jr.

Fixin’ - Walk the Moon This = Love - The Script

Please Just Take These Photos From My Hands - Snow Patrol

Are you sensing a pattern here, ‘cuz I am. (Most of these bands are Irish/Northern Irish, lmao.)

Favourite Book? Again, how are you gonna ask me to pick just one? I’ve been a reader all my life so I caaan’t pick just one favorite book. But Just One Day by Gayle Forman is definitely one of my all-time favorites because it speaks to the wanderlust in my soul. That and it feels kind of autobiographical to me. Other favorites are Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, the Series of Unfortunate Events books by Lemony Snicket, and most anything with magic!

Favorite smell? Rain, the ocean, fresh laundry, flowers!!, old books, Irish pubs, scented candles, strawberry cake...and probably a dozen more I can’t put into words.

A memorable experience? Lmao come ask me about one specifically in my ask box, man! This is too vague to answer here. Like...I had a memorable experience last week but I could tell you about the best day of my life so it’s like- how do I answerrrr?

Countries you’ve been to? Ireland, England, Holland, Canada

Countries you’d want to go to? So feckin’ many, oh my Lord. Most definitely back to Ireland, Austria, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Greece, Chile, Brazil, India, Japan, a bunch of places in Africa...all over, really!

Languages you speak? English, Simlish, sarcasm...I’m learning Irish but it’s pretty slow-going, but I’ve been told I probably know more than my best friend who IS actually Irish and living in Dublin, lmao.

Favourite subject in high school? Ceramics for sure, but other faves include ancient medieval history & film studies

Hobbies? WITCHCRAFT. ...Well, researching what I’m interested in regarding witchcraft, for sure. Photography’s a huge hobby of mine too, and writing fanfics used to be. Reading’s definitely a hobby of mine too, and I really fuckin’ love dancing - though not professionally or anything, just in my room 😛

Favourite plant? Hydrangeas, sunflowers, pansy’s, the problem with asking me about my favorite plants is that I fuckin’ love flowers but NEVER KNOW THEIR ACTUAL NAMES. Sooo it’s kind of a problem. XD

Favourite food? Pasta. Breakfast foods. Comfort foods. Dessert. Ya can’t ask me my favorite food because everything I eat is pretty much my favorite. Except for peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. Those are okay.

Views on modern society? Like … in general, or in my country? For the most part, I think we’re moving in the right direction, but there’s still a lotttt that needs improvement. 

Favorite era and why? This one because I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME FUCKIN’ RIGHTS AS A QUEEN YOUNG WOMAN OF COLOR, LIKE LET’S GO!!! That and the people I love are alive and well in this era so of course I’m gonna say this era! That and other eras of history have really fuckin’ sucked for people of color, women, and queer folks so...nah.

If you could experience one event in history, which would it be and why? Oh man, I don’t know! Think I need more time to think about this one. Maybe something really cool & revolutionary in the future? 

Have tattoos, Piercings? Well I had seven piercings until one of my ear piercings closed up, so now I’ve only six - which includes a nose ring! As for tattoos, I want sooo bloody many but am gonna take it slow. I’m hopefully getting my first one this summer in Ireland, so excited!

Want any [new tattoos, piercings]? Please see above.

Thoughts on love? I have so many thoughts on love and most of them are indescribable. Love is comfort and safety and an adventure. It’s knowing you’re safe with someone and each person giving the other room and space to grow.

Spirituality? Agnostic secular witch, yo! 

10 facts about you?

I never fuckin’ shut up about my study abroad trip to Ireland. Never. Like just ask my roommates, they’ll probably tell you!

I say things like “I’m too gay for this” and “I’m gay as hell, Jesus Christ”, but I’m actually bisexual. I LIKE UMBRELLA TERMS, ‘KAY?

Despite having a super cheery personality and being hella dramatic about absolutely everything in life, I also have depression.

My delving into witchcraft is another way I’m learning to manage my depression and feel empowered about myself.

If you haven’t noticed already, I SWEAR A LOT! It’s just a part of my personality, aand also my upbringing. (Like my Nan used to swear all the time and over the smallest things.)

When I was a kid, I thought referees were magical and could talk so loud, everyone could hear them - even people watching TV! I thought you had to be magical to even apply for the job and that there was this whole secret order of referees or something. I had some fuckin’ cool ideas as a kid - but unfortunately many of them weren’t true!

The Nightmare Before Christmas is my all-time favorite movie and I will fuckin’ internally shriek and flail if I find out you’re also a fan. True story.

I just really love apple juice, but I don’t eat apples. Or most fruits and vegetables.

Photography is one of my favorite things in the world and it’s helped me reconnect with life. It reminds me that there are still beautiful things, still good & pure things, in life and that I’ll notice them more when I just slow down.

I’ve never broken a bone, fractured or sprained any muscle in my body. Ever. (Andd now that I say this, I’m probably going to in the near future.)

Tagging @wandsbrewsandbroomsticks, @persephoneandthepomegranates, @beginner-witch-bitch, @starlit-witch, and @lamplightwitch to do the same! Of course, ya don’t have to fill out the questions if you don’t want to, but it’d be cool to get to know a lil bit about you guys this way! 😊
