1. What are five ways to win my heart? 

- You are a Christian (bonus if you are Lutheran!) 

- You will let me braid your hair if it's long enough (it must be long enough)

2. What is something you feel strongly about? 

My religion. Definitely. I get more passionate each and every day. 

3. What's a book you love? 

Cicada Summer by Kate Constable. 

I read it once, and was so touched by it I read it through again! That's the one and only book I have read through back to back twice in a row!

5. What is something you would say to one of your exes? 

Um... will ex-crush do? 

James, OPEN YOUR EYES MATE. 

I KNOW THEY ARE BEAUTIFULLY BLUE BUT REALLY? 

I HOPE YOU SEE HER TRUE COLOURS. 

6. What's your view on mainstream music? 

Rap is not music, it is simply speaking to a beat. 

The definition of music thank you google: Vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. 

Rap is not beauty in any form, it's weird. Stupid, dare I say. 

But what's rap if it isn't music, I hear you ask? SPEAKING. YOU ARE LISTENING TO SPEAKING. 

*bows* thank you, please leave you hate comments in your own mouth and swallow them. 

7. What are five pet peeves of yours? 

- A shovel scraping the bottom of a wheelbarrow 

- Looking at my teeth in the mirror

- When people say stuff like 'Jesus Christ', 'Thank God!', 'Good Lord!' and 'Oh my God!' 

- Sausages cooked in bulk

- When people spell my name wrong when they probably should know how to spell it correctly

8. What did I eat today? 

Weet-bix for brekky. Mandarin and fruit cake for recess. Capsicum, cucumber and an Up & Go for lunch. A disgusting chocolate thing. Bacon, egg and cheese muffin. Porcupine balls/testes (JUST KIDDING... meat balls with rice and passata), potato mash and veggies for dinner. 

9. How important do you think education is? 

Extremely important. Doesn't it feel nice to know stuff? Many kids in third world countries would do anything to go to school, isn't it a shame that some waste such an opportunity they possess? Academics means everything to me. I want to be successful in life, I want to get into University, get an exciting job that is well paid and live a happy life. 

Being well educated will support that! 

10. Hit shuffle and jot down ten songs 

Just doing five because I can (HA!) 

- 24K Magic, Bruno Mars

- A L I E N S, Coldplay

- Waving Through A Window, Ben Platt

- Evermore, Dan Stevens 

- The Cure, Unspoken 

11. Family that lives with you...

Mother, father, sister x2 

12. What's your opinion about your body? 

People may look at me and think I'm too skinny, anorexic even. Problem is, I LIKE being skinny. I don't really care what others think. It started in 3rd Grade, when we had a class party. I ate lots of bad food and felt really guilty. From then on I feel guilty if I eat crap and try to eat healthier. Sometimes I only ate half a sandwich at lunch.  I looked in the mirror and sucked in my stomach. 

Of course when I was diagnosed with scoliosis I got more self-consious having a body all curved and un-level wil do that to you! Imagine seeing bulges on your back, your spine sticking out in weird directions, your shoulder all topsy turvy and trying to get changed for sport! No wonder I hid in the corner! 

Now I love the fact that the metal rods have given me a beautiful posture. My scar is proof that I was brave and went through such a long painful haul. It reminds me that God has given me a life and I should live it to the full. 

'I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.'

- John 10:10b 

But I still want to be healthily thin. I am going to start pilates to strengthen my core which means I'll eventually have a cool set of abs... eventually. Yet it's not always what is on the outside, it's our attituden and our actions which show our true beauty. 

13.  What did you wear today? (2/08/17) 

My pyjamas, school uniform, high wist jeans, zip-top and hoodie. 

14.  What's your zodiac sign and does it fit you? 

I don't really follow zodiacs. I find them superstitious. But I am a taurus, and apparently I'm disciplined and loyal? 

I am perhaps loyal, if I wasn't a Ravenclaw, I'd be Hufflepuff. I stick by my friends and defend them when they get hurt. I trust them to do the same. 

But disciplined... I get distracted easily so maybe not...

15. What's something you think about all the time? 

What is she/he thinking about right now and does it involve me in any way or form? 

16. What's something you are proud of? 

Surviving my surgery! 

Getting the academic award for my Primary School years and Dux last year. And hopefully will get it this year! 

17. What is a problem you have/had? 

I'm a nail biter. It's gross, unhygenic and I hate that I do it, but I can't stop myself. I'm nervous about something, see a nail with potential and nibble away. It's an anxiety thing, I guess. I can grow my nails in the holidays, but I get back to school and chomp chomp chomp. I've tried Stop 'n' Grow, other techniques suggested, but nup. Bite bite bite. 

It's a crazy habit I've had for years! 

And I am meant to have long nails since I'm a guitarist... :(

18. What are some hope for the future? 

 Find a nice Christian guy who loves me for who I am, get married and have 2-4 children.... whilst: 

- Getting a book published

- Going through university with good degrees

- Find myself a good successful job

- Being awesome! 

19. What's something you miss? 

My best friend Lollypop671. We live in different states after my family and I moved two years ago and I miss her something dreadful. We get on like a house on fire (somewhat... less painful and disastrous though). 

20. What are five words that make you laugh? 

- Sloth (it's an inside joke from a YouTuber... JW and I both know her and in Biology we were going through 'living/non-living' things and JW said sloth for living and I cracked up laughing for five minutes. The teacher said I was broken 

- Hug 

- Aardvark 

-  Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia

- Pomegranate

21. What is something you are worried about? 

Waking up and finding I've lost my glasses! I'm getting new glasses soon actually... they are so cool! They will have an anti-glare coating so when take pictures of myself on occasion the reflection won't be in the lenses. They also will have a blu-guard so blue light will be reflected off, so it will not damage the back of my eyes. You know how you look into people's glasses and you can see lights around you in them? Well the lights will look BLUE in mine... interesting. The frame is navy blue, and the same shape as my old ones except my old ones were Ray Bans and my new ones are Ralph Lauren.

22. What are four things you dislike about yourself?

- Skin deep: my teeth and nose 

- Emotionally: I cry too much 

- Personality: can be a bit awkward and weird in a bad way 

- Random: sometimes my 'f' will sound like a 'v'... 

23. What are four things you like about yourself?

- My eyes, sure they are only light brown, but they are big and round. With a little bit of mascara they look lovely, one of my best feautures. 

- My scar! I love it, it's about 30cm long, feels really weird when you touch it because it's so smooth! Every time I see it I can't wait until the 12 months are over so I can expose it to the world! 

- My mind/academia. I love to learn! 

- My tendency to be myself and only myself around my best friends. If I visit them in another state it is like we have never left each other. I'll just give you a hug and BOOM! Quoting books and making inside jokes from ages ago! (THROW THE TISSUE BOX HE JUST MENTIONED SKYDIVING!) 

24. What's a quote you live by? 

I have three! 

No. 1: If you expect the unexpected then the unexpected is expected!

No. 2: No on can make you feel inferior without your consent

No. 3:  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

- Romans 8:89-39

25. Where's a place you'd like to move?

England. England. England. 

Everything about the UK I can admire. The accents, culture, housing, the monarchy. I've been to LOndon before, and it's beautiful. I just want to live there!

I'd also consider Japan. Japan is so adorable and the culture is legendary. I love it! People are so nice there (I went to Japan when I was 11 on a school trip) and yeahhhh it was great! THE FOOD!

26. What are five weird things you like? 

No. 1: Braiding hair, especially boys' hair! 

No. 2: Touching people's hair... my strange little addiction

No. 3: Putting bells on things so if someone made an attempt to steal my belonging I could hear them and punch them in the guts and get it back. I have a bell on my bad from Disneylan, which has been there for a year and a half. My friends want me to take it off, but NO! It is for safety purposes. I also have a bell and lots of dangly keyrings on my laptop case... smart, hey? 

No. 4: Playing the James Bond Theme on the piano over and over (it's the only song I know!) 

No. 5: Giving weird nicknames to people. 

27. What's one thing you are looking forward to? 

Going to SA in a couple weeks to see Lollypop671, my orthopaedic surgeon and a few other friends! 

FINALLY THIS IS FINISHED! IT HAS TAKEN ME FOREVER TO FINISH! 

I'm sorry in advance, but I tag:
