The Fun Questions Tag!

The Fun Questions Tag!

Hiya!
How are you? Today I am going to be attempting to do the Fun Questions Tag. Feel free to answer these questions in the comments if you like! :)


1. When is your birthday? (You don't have to include the year if you don't want to.)
24th May

 2. What are 3 of your favourite colours?
Green, blue and pink

3. What are your 3 favourites quotes?
Wait, only three? I have so many favourite quotes therefore this took me a ridiculously long period of time to narrow it down to three. These aren't my absolute favourites, I have lots, but theses are the three that made the cut:

  1. People cry not because they are weak, but because they have been strong for too long. - Johnny Depp

  2. Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end. -Unknown

  3. Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it's stupid. -Albert Einstein
 4. Are you addicted to YouTube?
Eh no... *closes the YouTube tab that just so happened to be open...*


 5. What are 3 of your favourite shows on TV or YouTube or both

  1. Once Upon A Time

  2. Pretty Little Liars

  3. Doctor Who
6. What are 3 qualities you like in a best friend?
Loyal, caring and funny.

7. Do you like your name? 
Not really.

8. If you have the choice to pick your own name, what will it be?
I love the name Amelia, but I am not sure if it would suit me...?

9. What is your fantasy dream?
To meet 5 Seconds of Summer! (don't judge!)
 

10. Do you wear makeup?
A bit.

 

11. If you could write a book, what would the title be and what would it be about?
It would be called, "One Hundred Book Titles and What They Could Be About". This book would help give me inspiration to answer this question.

 
12. What makes you cry?
Books, movies and anything sad basically. (Wow I need to man up!) 

13. What makes you angry?
People hating on others.
 

 

14. What makes you happy?
Watching my favourite YouTubers..., hanging out with my friends, listening to music.

 

15. What is "Fangirling?
Well according to the Oxford dictionary:


Definition of fangirl in English:

noun

A female fan, especially one who is obsessive about comics, film, music, or science fiction: your average fangirl, despite the implication of the name, is a grown-up
More example sentences:
  • You're not one of those obsessive fangirls, are you?
  • As much of an obsessive fangirl as she can be, she's incredibly down to earth, calm in every situation and able to see hope in just about every cause.
  • Of course I might have been just a tad partial considering that they employed one of my best friends and I could be a total fangirl over some of the books Big C wrote.


verb

(Of a female fan) behave in an obsessive or overexcited way: I’m still fangirling over this casting



16. What are your 3 favourites snacks?

cookies, strawberries and crumpets. ( I know crumpets are the most stereotypical British food ever, but they taste so good!)

17. What are your 3 favourite foods?
Crispy aromatic duck pancakes, curry and potatoes.


18. What are your 3 favourite drinks?

Chocolate milk, tea (the most stereotypical British drink, sorry  but I love tea!) and water.


 19. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I have shortened my name (because I don't really like it) to use as my blog name. I think you all probably guessed that El was shortened from something else, but just in case you didn't know. I am a obsessive Potterhead and I love to read! I love to listen to music, in particular 5 Seconds of Summer and Taylor Swift. That's all I can think of...

20. What are 10 random facts about you?
  1. I am a Potterhead.
  2. I want to travel the world some day.
  3. My favourite colour is green.
  4. I always choose books over movies.
  5. I have an obsession with scented candles.
  6. I literally have to write everything  in blue biro pen. (this is extremely weird.)
  7. I love the word "walrus".
  8. My lucky number is 12.
  9. One of my favourite modern day actors is Johnny Depp. (I love old films and actors like Gregory Peck that's why I said modern day.)
  10. One of my biggest fears is drowning,

 21. What are your 3 fun things to do?
  1. Listen to music.
  2. Chill with my friends.
  3. Watch movies.

I was in the mood to do a tag so I thought I should give this a go. I hope you enjoyed it and you learnt a bit more about me. Feel free to do this tag if you want to and let me know in the comments if you do it or have done it so I can check it out. :)

Till next time!

The Harry Potter Tag!

The Harry Potter Tag!
 
I'm curled up in an armchair with a mug of hot jasmine tea resting on the table beside me, life is good! (although it is summer it is raining in the UK at the moment. Typical!)
Hey there! I'm super excited for todays post and I hope you enjoy it because I know I'm going to love doing it.

1. Favourite book?
Has to be Order of the Phoenix!

2. Favourite movie?
Deathly Hallows part 2 because of the epic finale!

3. Least favourite book?
Chamber of Secrets, I just feel it wasn't very exciting compared to the rest of the book. But hey that's just my opinion.

4. Least favourite movie?
Probably Goblet of Fire.

5. Parts of the books/movies that made you cry?
Sirius' death, Dobby's death, Fred's death, Hedwig's death, Lupin's death... yeah, basically all the deaths.

6. If you could hook up with any HP character who would it be?
I'm literally not sure!

7. Favourite character?
Apart from the golden trio it would have to be Sirius.

8. Least favourite character?
James Potter, especially after seeing how horrible he was to Snape.

9. Least favourite line?
In the fifth movie when Bellatrix has killed Sirius and she runs out calling, "I killed Sirius Black!" or when Fred says, "When I get married I'm going to put a full Body-Bind curse on mum till it's over."

10. Favourite line?
There are so many, but I'm only going to name one or two:
"Ron! A prefect! That's everyone in the family", Mrs Weasley said. "What are Fred and I, next door neighbours?" said George.
"You have the emotional range of a teaspoon," -Hermione

11. What your Patronus be?
I don't know... a unicorn?

12. If you could have the Resurrection Stone, Invisibility Cloak or the Elder Wand which would you choose?
Definitely the Invisibility Cloak, think of all the 5sos concerts you could sneak into (or concerts in general, it doesn't have to be 5sos, it's just whatever floats your boat!)

13. What house would you be in?
Ravenclaw.

14. If you could meet any member of the cast who would it be?
EMMA WATSON!

15. Have you played any of the video games?
Yes, Order of the Phoenix, Deathly Hallow part 1 and Deathly Hallows Part 2.

16. If you were in the Quidditch team what position would you play?
Despite the fact the I am short sited I would want to play seeker.

17. Were you happy with the ending?
Nope! I hate the way it finished with them all grown up and everything is perfectly fine because now there is no chance of a sequel - I know J.K Rowling never wanted to write one but still... Also I hate the way there were so many deaths in the Battle of Hogwarts. I know it makes it realistic, but why make us go through so much pain helplessly watching some of the most loveable characters be killed off? RIP Fred, Lupin, Tonks and everyone else who died! (I'm now g to go cry for a while!)

18. How much does HP mean to you?
It was my childhood and I will never forget it!

Well that's it! Let me know if there are any other tags you want me to do.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

The 99 Questions No One Ever Asks Tag!

The 99 Questions No One ever Asks Tag!

Hello all you lovely people! Hope you are having a lovely day today. Anyway, today I wanted to do a  tag. I was interested in this one in particular because it is very different. If you want to contact me then leave a comment or you can find my details in the 'Contact Me' section above. So let's jump right into it!

Truth be told I can sleep with it either way. I'm not going to let something as simple as that get in the way of my sleep!

2. Do you take shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels?
I can't be the only one guilty of this. I mean who doesn't?

Interesting question... No I haven't... didn't know that was a thing people do!

I'm not really a coupon person so no.

7. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of bees?
Both sound pretty bad. However, I think I am going to choose the bear because I could fight it off with my ninja skills! Oh wait, I don't have any ninja skills so that would go down well!

Nope.

9. Do you always smile for pictures?
Pretty much. I usually don't know what else to do so to stop me from looking incredibly awkward I smile.
