Finally done with my dissertation, so I want to ease back into blogging. I made one of these 10 years ago on my old blog, so I thought it'd be fun to redo it, updating anything that no longer holds true. If you're reading this, I'd love for you to comment 5 facts about yourself too.
My birthday is on Halloween
My favourite colours are red and black (duhh)
I'm left-handed
I loveeee spicy food. I used to eat Buldak as a normal meal and have the highest tolerance out of anyone I know. To this day my dream is to be famous so I can compete on Hot Ones
I hate wearing socks indoors, no matter how cold it is
Which is probably why my hands and feet are perpetually ice cold
Despite my many attempts to find something more unique, roses are my favourite flowers. They aren't basic at all once you look past the supermarket variety, there are so many unique subspecies and they are all gorgeous. And smell divine. Of course, the Black Baccara is a personal favourite. Lilies (and lily-of-the-valley) come close, but their poisonous nature to cats puts me off them somewhat. Often, I dream of a man so in love with me he breeds a new species that retains the flower's beauty with none of the harm
I only wear purple eyeshadow and red lipstick. It looks as garish glamorous as it sounds
This is my favourite number. Couldn't tell you why, it's always been so
My favourite band is The Neighbourhood
I've never been to a concert. I was meant to see the NBHD in 2020 but.... well, you know
I still wear a mask outside regularly, and it seems like I'm the only one
I used to be obsessed with pink dolphins as a kid, so now I collect them
I am naturally nocturnal. When I don't have any responsibilies, I find myself sleeping from 9AM to 3PM
I'm a vegetarian
I've worn my signature studs since I was three or four
I prefer silver to gold, regardless of whether it's "flattering" on me or not
I have six piercings on one ear, and only two on the other which looks very silly. I plan to get at least eight more overall
I hate the culture of overconsumption that has become so prevalent and much prefer owning "signature" possessions
I'm psychic, like all the eldest daughters of my matriline
I went to an all-girls high school, and unlike most I'm incredibly grateful for the fact
Every Monster flavour I've ever liked has ended up discontinued
Actually, every thing in general I've ever liked has ended up discontinued
I wrote a novel in 2 weeks just to say I wrote a book at 19 like Mary Shelley
Though I'm generally quite a stoic person, I blush embarassingly easily and brightly which is sooooo not goth of me
I'm not goth or emo or anything even though my friends describe me in that way all the time
I used to interact with Anna Sawai on Instagram pretty frequently when she was still in Faky
I love horror movies but most of them bore me because I'm not affected by jumpscares and I honestly find them cheap. I much prefer psychological thrillers
I still don't know whether I tan or burn in the sun because I've never been exposed to it for long enough
I like wearing sweet, spicy, unisex/masculine scents. My best friend says my favourite perfume smells like an "Iranian fuckboy." 😔
My favourite pen is the Uni-Ball Vision Elite even though it makes my handwriting look awful. I just wish the ink was a darker black
Unless I'm paying for it, I drink my coffee black with a pinch of salt
I love cherry flavoured everything, but my favourite fruits to eat on their own are probably apples and mangoes
It's probably not a good thing, but I am utterly ruled by nostalgia. I consult my little-girl self before making any decision
I hate both texting and phone calls. Snail mail and frequent in-person meetups is my ideal
I've never paid for a streaming service in my life and listen to music exclusively via CDs or MP3 player
I've been obsessed with vampires for as long as I can remember. I have no idea where it started, though I did have a Dracula figurine as a kid
I have deep, sunken, hollow dark circles no matter how much sleep I get or how much I weigh. I sort of like them. They're part of my face and I wouldn't recognise myself without them
Ketchup grosses me out
I always lie about what the R in my name stands for because I dreamt that whoever knew the truth would be cursed with perpetual misfortune and sorrow
I first started blogging when I was only 8 years old
I look exactly like my father in a wig
I've been told multiple times I "don't look short."
If I was a billionaire, I'd do the obligatory philanthropic charity etc etc. and then stay in school for the rest of my life. I'd love to have multiple degrees
My first love was Justin Bieber, and since then I haven't really had another. I don't think River Phoenix counts because he's been dead the whole time I've known him. Fun fact, he died on my birthday. Or maybe it was Rodrick? Though I definitely wanted to be him more lol.
I can't bring myself to DNF a book. No matter how painful, I will finish it
I've been using this username since 2013
I'm incredibly obsessive. I'll fixate on things for years until I get them. And I will get them. Like my favourite Doc Martens; I saw them in the mall when I was a preteen and finally ended up getting them 3 years ago
Wandering around the grocery store is one of my favourite forms of enrichment. I don't even have to buy anything, I just like looking at stuff
