How well do you know your best friend?

I was tagged by @raindrop-rouge, and will be answering about her! <3 Thanks for your answers, you’re pretty much spot on! :D Both our answers will be thoroughly discussed when I’ve posted this, of course! 1. What is your best friend’s dream job, and why? I’m pretty sure her dream job is to be an actress, she’s also said she really wants a job that pays enough for her to have a huge, modern apartment (on the top floor?) ;D Her current job should lead to that eventually!

2. What is their biggest pet peeve, and why do you think that is?

People walking slowly! Probably because she’s always rushin’ and being super productive!

3. What is their favourite TV series (live action)?

Live action... I’m not sure! She’s been watching Dancing with the Stars a lot lately! I literally can’t think of anything. Penny Dreadful? Once Upon a Time, hahaha.

4. What is their favourite TV series (animated)?

I’m gonna say Shingeki no Kyojin! Though she’s also talked a lot about Yuri on Ice, Free, and uhhh, some volleyball anime, I think? But I’m preeeeetty sure #1 is Shingeki no Kyojin!

5. What does your best friend value most in life, and why? (Do you think they value most what they say they do, or something else?)

She really values her brother, more than anyone I’ve ever known cares about their siblings, which is super cute :D She wants for just enough to be comfortable in life (which goes against her wish to have a huge apartment, I know, that’s more like a dream if she does get enough money for it, I think, not something she would value higher than her friends and family). Basically she wants to be independent.

6. How would you describe their style, and how would they describe it?

She has a dark, sort of gothic style. But she mixes it with cute stuff like colourful bows! I think she’d agree with me on that description. I hope :P

7. If you were to decorate a room for your best friend, what would it look like, and why?

It would be fuuuuuull of blankets and pillows and comfy things! A desk and some shelves for writing and reading. The walls would be decorated with pictures and other memories of her friends and her travels. And there would be tons of candles! Also plenty of mugs for tea and mugcakes ;D (did I just describe your apartment, I did, didn’t I)

8. What do you think their best quality is?

She’s by far the most hard-working person I’ve ever met, it’s amazing! She’s also extremely open-minded, which is always a great quality to have these days. She’s very loyal to her friends, and always has time for them. I also obviously love her sense of humour, otherwise no one would laugh at my lame jokes! I can’t pick, why did I even include this question, haha -.-

9. What does your best friend think their best quality is? Would they agree with you?

Hmm... She’d probably agree with me that she’s hard-working. I think she also knows she’s open-minded. She would probably also agree that she’s loyal and makes time for her friends. She’s always said she’s not funny though, even though I think she’s hilarious, so she might not agree with me on that one. All in all, I think (or hope) she agrees with me :D

10. What is your best friend’s favourite book (or book series)?

I want to say Captive Prince, she went crazy about that series! I really want to read it because of how she described it. She’s also always said she loves the book... I can’t remember the title, was it “A Lady in Captivity”? I bought it online to read it, but I think I got the wrong book (I’ve forgotten to ask you about that, @raindrop-rouge, haha).

11. What do you have in common with your best friend?

We’re both very loyal to our friends. We also value fairness, like, we always shared responsibilities when we lived together, and we always want to make sure either one doesn’t pay more than the other for things. I think we have the same sense of humour, though she might say mine is more dry, haha (she laughs though sooooooo). We both love chilling together, watching movies or shows, or singing, and she even plays video games with me! We do stupid tests (like this one) together, basically, we love doing NOTHING AT ALL together! We both loooove travelling. We both love reading (and also writing, though she writes like 323503040 times more than I do). We both love cats (and my dogs ;D).

Unlike you, @raindrop-rouge, I think we actually have a lot in common, haha :D Though I understand why your answer was shorter, if we’re talking interests, then, honestly, we’re quite different! You’re super into some anime and manga that I only really know through you (though I do like them), and I’m super into movies, TV series and games that you probably only know (or like) through me!

Also, omg, WE BOTH LOVE JAPAN, how did we not immediately think of that.

12. How did you meet, and what was your first impression of your best friend?

As @raindrop-rouge said, we met the first day of uni in England, I had a yellow piece of paper that she wanted to know where I got, and she was munching on an apple. I asked if she wanted to sit together (which is very unlike me, I’m never that “brave”, LUCKY FOR US I DECIDED TO BE BRAVE THAT DAY). I remember always saving a seat for her in Japanese class :D Oh, and my first impression was that she was very nice for coming up and talking to me and sitting with me, she was just very open and kind and nonthreatening, it was like I could tell that she wasn’t being fake or anything.

13. What does your best friend spend their free time doing, and why do you think they choose to do what they do?

She reads and writes fan fiction, which I think she does because she really loves the world and characters of her favourite manga/anime, and wants to “spend more time in it”. She watches anime and TV shows, not that many movies (unless I force her to watch my faves haha), because she loves Japan as well as the themes in the shows obviously, and I’m guessing there’s a bit of escapism there as well ;D She also hangs out with or chats with friends quite a lot, that social butterfly!

14. Who is their favourite fictional character, and why?

I’m gonna have to say Levi from Shingeki no Kyojin. I’m not even sure why, I think she likes his personality and how he treats others (probably especially Eren)? I’m such a bad friend I haven’t watched more than about 4 episodes of that :(

15. What’s the first thing you tell other people when you talk about your best friend?

Tbh, I probably start with saying “my best friend is French, and she did Japanese Studies with me, combining it with Law!” I think I usually mention her when someone talks about France, the US, England, Law, or Japanese, haha (which is quite often). Most of the time I quote something she’s said about a topic she knows a lot about, which is often law or France. Any time the future is mentioned, I say I’m gonna live with her as soon as we have the chance.

16. What’s your favourite story about them?

This summer’s trip to France and Spain was by far one of my favourite trips ever! I also loved it when I visited her in Japan, or when she came to visit me. Any time we’ve travelled together, it’s been awesome, she’s the best travel buddy. I also love it when she tells the story of when SHE realised we were close friends. We were cooking and doing the dishes in the kitchen, and I slapped her butt with a dish towel, and that’s when she realised for some reason :D I had apparently realised before that, seeing as I was slapping her butt with a dish towel... Our Norway nights were also amazing, I remember we were doing stuff together all night, even though there were like 10 other people there that we didn’t see like 24/7 like we used to.

17. What’s your least favourite story about them?

Ugh, it was when we went out for Halloween one year, and I’m pretty sure someone spiked her drink (as you can probably tell, it isn’t my least favourite story because of something she did, just something that happened to her). She got really “drunk” (she neeever gets even close to that drunk) and I was so worried every time I took my eyes off her. I ended up staying by her side as much as I could (so like 99% of the night, haha) and we got home safely, I remember being so relieved when we entered our flat!

18. Why do you think you two ended up becoming best friends?

I think it’s because we were both obviously and genuinely just being nice to each other from the very beginning, there was no drama, and no reason to not like each other. For me at least, it was easy to be open and honest with her, and I always enjoyed hanging out with her. After we moved in together we quickly hung out more and more and just had tons of fun, while at the same time sharing responsibilities etc. like I mentioned earlier. Also we have SOOO MANY inside jokes, it’s insane!!! Sometimes we can just look at each other and burst out laughing ‘cause we know exactly what each other is thinking.

19. Would you be honest with your best friend if they were happy doing something, but you think it might end up harming them in the end?

Haha, yes, I’m pretty sure I’ve already done that.

20. Does your best friend play any instruments? Why do you think they chose that instrument?

She used to play the piano, and I think she still remembers some songs? I’m not sure why she chose the piano, either because she loves piano songs, or because her parents signed her up for classes, I’m guessing? Or maybe she knows her fingers are long and slender and perfect for playing the piano!

21. Do you and your best friend have a dream for the future, if so, what is it?

WE ARE GOING TO MOVE IN TOGETHER AGAIN. And we have a lot of places we want to travel to, like Iceland! And we both want a cat, so we might as well get one together when we do move in together. Basically, we want to be happy, and that involves us being together and having pets ;D

22. What is one thing you have always wanted to tell your best friend, but never have?

Hmmm... I know you always say I don’t talk about my feelings, but I’ve never opened up to anyone as I have to you. I tell you to your face that I love you (once every blue moon at least ;P), I have never told anyone else that, especially not more than once! So... I feel like at some point during our relationship I’ve probably told you all you should know, but those times might be far apart, so you should know that I will always love you no matter what, and.... actions speak louder than words? At least, I hope the way I act shows you better how I feel than what I say. (torturing myself by including this question and making me talk about feels)

23. What do you think your best friend’s life will be like 10 years from now?

She will probably be queen of the world or something with how hard she’s working! But seriously, she is going to have exactly the life she wants, because she’s worked hard for that to be possible, and because she’s smart and strong enough to make that happen. Hopefully for me that life will include us living together like our dream for the future.

24. What song makes you think of your best friend?

She’s gonna hate me for this, but “Love Hurts” by Nazareth, hahaha (I used to either play that or sing it just to annoy her). As well as all of our standard karaoke songs, and Just Dance songs. “A Whole New World”, ooo, and also “Poor Unfortunate Souls”, ‘cause you own that song!

25. Just to end on a mean note, what’s your best friend’s worst personality trait? (Be honest now, guys, none of that “they’re just too kind” bullshit)

WHY DID I INCLUDE THESE QUESTIONS KNOWING I WOULD HAVE TO ANSWER THEM MYSELF?! OK, I think I’ve told her this before, and I KNOW I’ve made fun of her for it, but I think it might have to be the way she kind of acts arrogant sometimes, haha. It’s not even bad (she doesn’t have bad traits!!!), but sometimes she acts or talks like she doesn’t have time for whatever some other person talks about or does. I’m pretty sure 99% of the time she’s joking, but once in a while she sounds a bit like a diva, haha, I’m sorry!!!
