Hercules, Pinwheel Galaxy, Supernova

Hercules: Favourite instrument?the piano, probably. but i also love my guitar (specifically the one i own. it’s spanish and gorgeous)

Pinwheel Galaxy: Would you date the last person you talked to?uhhh no thank you! i’d rather not date my mom.

Supernova: What’s one thing you want to do before you die?i’d want to travel, so if i can only do one thing, i’d pick ‘finishing my travel bucket list’ hahaha. i’d need at least a year to do everything on there justice though!

thank you darling :*

1. Currently Reading: sadly I’m not reading anything atm. I just finished Harry Potter #4, but I have to take a break cause so much uni work. :c

3. First book that had a major influence on you: Akher el Layl by Mahmoud Darwish, given to me by my dad after I learned to read properly.

7. What is the most important part of a book, in your opinion? I think the first chapter/prologue is usually the most important part, cause that’s where the story takes off. it has to be engaging and interesting and all-round wonderful.

12. Tell one book story or memory (what you were wearing when you were reading something, someone saw you cry in public, you threw a book across the room and broke a window, etc.): well this is a bit cliche, and I’m sure lots of people have the same story about the same book, but anyway. The Fault in Our Stars was one of the very few books I stayed up all night to finish. it was January 2013, winter break, around 4-4:30am. and listen. I cried. and silently screamed. and yes of course, threw the book away. then picked it up and hugged it. it was a very emotional moment. I don’t think I’d react so strongly if I’d read it for the first time now, but it was just what I needed back then, I think.

[raffimusiker]

the always wonderful and sweet @pausethetragicending tagged me and i never let an opportunity go by to fill out a questionnaire about myself!

1. something your first impression was wrong about? star wars! as a trekkie from birth (not optional) my dad taught me to hate star wars and so i did. it wasn’t until my best friend literally forced me to watch it when i was 17 that i gave it a shot. and i really really enjoyed it! :)

2. is there something that works that you tell yourself to keep from crying? i need next to nothing to start crying (sad or happy tears esp) and i don’t know how to stop it. the only thing i try is to kind of lock my jaw and tense up my face so it doesn’t contort into a cry, but i’m not very successful at it.

3. something you learned this past year to not give into the pull of self-pity and depression as easily as i used to, to let go of negativity and not let it consume me. even though a lot of this year was not so great, i still feel like i had a good year in which i accomplished a lot and made amazing friends and memories.

4. any easy recipe suggestions? :)

chinese mie noodles with chicken, broccoli and cut up mushrooms in a wok pan (super easy, quick and you can spice it as you like, or add a sauce if you want)

cook a bunch of vegetables (onion, eggplant, peppers, zucchini, carrots, etc), add quinoa, spice to your preference and add cubes of feta cheese right at the end so they’re still stringy and melting. YUM.

i also really like making quesadillas but it’s basically the same as pizza: i fill the quesadilla with tomato sauce (i buy them in jars, sometimes they come with extra vegetables or with basil, depends on my preference of that day) and then i dunk a ton of cheese on there sprinkle it with cheese. let it sit in the oven for like 10 mins at 150-ish degrees.

i have a stuffed peppers recipe at my mom’s, i’ll try to remember sending you it next time i visit (if i don’t, remind me!)

5. fav recently discovered songs/artists (by recently, i mean ‘in 2015′ because that’s easier to go through my last.fm page lol)

nuvole bianche by ludovico einaudi

threnody by goldmund

call your girlfriend by robyn (i rediscovered it, that counts too)

one way or another by until the ribbon breaks (it’s used in the x company pilot and i’m in looooove with it)

i also discovered the bleachers, coeur de pirate, christine and the queens, the weeknd, halsey and jamie xx

6. favorite experience in the past year? july 1st was the hottest day of the year by far (39°C) and i spent it on the beach for six hours and then enjoying a wonderful meal by sunset, right by the beach, with friends, cocktails and laughter. it felt like a one-day vacation after an incredibly hard semester.

7. a headcanon you’d want a fic about?  uhmmm... in orphan black, i have this headcanon that prior to being cosima’s monitor, back in france delphine was danielle fournier’s monitor, the french clone. in my head they were best friends and when danielle died, delphine was super upset and hurt and it’s what prompted her to leave france, go to canada and sleep her way to the top to get closer to the science. she swore she wouldn’t get to close this next time monitoring, she just wanted information so she could help find a cure for her dead friend’s sisters, but then cosima happened and the rest is history. 

also there was no one in that parking lot and i just spilled ketchup on her because i’m her new bae and i brought fries. because i’m belgian. and we always carry fries with us. (but only i would read that, i think)

8. what are you looking forward to next year? becoming godmother/aunt for the second time! graduating! my friend’s giant wedding! more dating! (but less terrible dating than this year!) more travel! (perhaps visit you??? i’m very willing and almost financially able!)

9. movie recs please. i watch like two movies a year so i’m the worst person to ask this. but let’s see.... 

inch’allah (starring (surprise surprise) évelyne brochu). very moving and thought provoking. 

mar adentro (also known as the sea inside). also thought provoking.

hasta la vista (a belgian movie)

i’m out.... have you seen star wars ep 7? that was good lol

10. a little example of human kindness that happened to you or you witnessed or you’ve done :) something that happened to me: any time my friends’ parents took me in when i was having a hard time and took care of me like i was their own, no questions asked. i have a few friends who have amazing parents and it baffles me to this day that they have always treated me (a virtual stranger in some cases!) with such kindness, just because i was important to their kid. i’m grateful, whether it happened ten years ago, or just last month. 

something that i’ve done: the day after the paris attacks this past november, the cashier at my grocery store was being harassed by an older man because she wears a hijab and he accused her of being a terrorist. i yelled at him and defended her. it made me so angry i started crying (see? i cry at EVERYTHING). i don’t think i did anything extraordinary, but she thanked me because “no one ever speaks up for me”. i’m actually tearing up right now just thinking about it. injustice makes me rage so hard.

11. how are you? how was your day/how is it so far? other than this nasty cold i’m recovering from, i’m very good, thank you! a man was very rude to me on the bus so i told him off, but then my barista called me ‘queen julie’ and even wrote that on my cup and my coupon card so it all balanced out.

i'm with you, can't eat a sandwich i got at a bakery or at work without having to scrape off the butter first everytiime. WHY DO PPL ALWAYS USE SO MUCH OF IT

YES. It’s weird, it’s horrible, and I get irrationally upset that they just put it on there just automatically.

tagged by my dearest @pausethetragicending :*

Rules: Post rules, answer the 11 questions that are asked by the current poster, and write 11 questions for the (11) people you will be tagging.

something your first impression was wrong about? this is cliche I’m sorry, but, love probably. it’s just, what you feel at the beginning and what the world sets you up for, all the expectations...it’s a lot more than what you eventually end up with.

is there something that works that you tell yourself to keep from crying? not really no, once the tears arrive there’s no stopping them I’m such a weak crier it’s embarrassing

something you learned this past year? I learned how important it is to move forward and carry yourself through the next day regardless of how far better times might seem

any easy recipe suggestions? oh man I’m sorry my cooking skills only include frying/heating frozen food and classic pasta :l

fav recently discovered songs/artists? Atlas Genius and Ben Howard for artists, and for songs Can’t Deny My Love by Brandon Flowers 

favorite experience in the past year? damn okay there have been so many nice experiences this year!! in order, finishing high school, holding my lil boy for the first time, starting uni and moving away, meeting a close online friend I’ve had for 5 years, meeting and hugging Jenna Coleman and getting the chance to thank her for the impact she’s made on my life <3

a headcanon you’d want a fic about? I have a headcanon about the Doctor teaching Clara Gallifreyan in the TARDIS library and they do it in sessions every now and then and it leads to cute cliche shit like Idk teaching her to say “I love you.” listen it’s trash BUT I WANT IT SO BAD.

what are you looking forward to next year? FIFTH MARS ALBUM, all the superhero movies, Mass Effect: Andromeda, UEFA Euro, all my fave shows coming back (I mean, new X Files in 2016!!! I still cannot deal). nth else comes to mind right now.

movie recs please? Pacific Rim, The Intouchables, the Book of Life, Pan’s Labyrinth, the Martian and Kingsman are the best one’s I’ve seen recently. Jupiter Ascending is fun if you’re down for some crack.

a little example of human kindness that happened to you or you witnessed or you’ve done? hmmm. I can’t really recall any specific act of kindness tbh. what comes to mind is more like something that spans 8 years and it’s just my best friend being there. that’s the greatest amount of kindness anyone’s ever shown me.

how are you? how was your day/how is it so far? aww thanks for asking! I’m okay. my day’s been very boring and unproductive. :c

I’m keeping the new year related questions, here we go:

1. what are your highlights of the past year? 2. what are you looking forward to or want to achieve this year? 3. a song that you immediately connected to when you first listened to it? 4. three countries you really wanna visit? (could be revisit too) 5. a language you’d like to learn? 6. space or forests or the ocean? 7. what do you watch to cheer up when you’re having a bad day? 8. food you’ve had once or twice for a special occasion and would love to try again? 9. digital or normal photographs? 10. a story from childhood that contributed to shaping the person you are now? by story I mean book, movie, show, folklore, etc. 11. a fictional character who is pretty much you in every way possible?

I tag @incandescentlives, @queenofsheba94, @nsfwpayno, @goqueerorgohome, @laugh-while-crying & @perkinssandknope :D

*BAWLING*

Yes! A new video from PauseTheTragicEnding!!

[thefandomcritique]

Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, then send it to 10 of your favorite followers! Positivity is fun!

- musefulstranger tagged me!

So...

Walking the delicate balance of arrogance and humility:

1) my smile - it's distinctive and makes my face pretty

2) my memory, especially for poems and books and songs

3) the fact that I'm generally happy, I'm grateful for that and try to appreciate it every day

4) good genes - I don't really gain weight (yet), I don't get hangovers, I look a lot younger than I am

5) nice eyes

I have literally never done one of these before. Clearly positivity makes me uncomfortable. And I don't even know if I've correctly formatted this so be kind.
