So I've been tagged by the lovely Sophie from A Day Dreamer's World and Sunny from A Sunny Spot to do the 50 Facts About Me tag! I hope you enjoy it!
- I'm 15 years old.
- My birthday is on the 7th November and, as weird as it may be, I'm extremely proud to call myself a Scorpio. ;P
- I have a younger brother who hates reading. Sadly, I cannot disown him. Apparently it's frowned upon to ask parents to sell a sibling... My bad. :3
- The fifth member of our little family is a very cheeky, five-year-old gun dog named Otto. A German Shorthaired Pointer with a German name. Fitting, right? ;)
- Up until last year, we actually had a sixth member of the family. Taz. Another German Shorthaired Pointer and, in actual fact, Otto's uncle.
- When I was younger (around mid primary school age) I found a copy of Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Bronte) in the spare room. I started reading it (thinking of how smart and cool I would be reading an adult book) and got practically half way through before realising it was a waste of time - I wasn't understanding anything...
- I once managed to drop my shoe in the toilet in primary school. And my teacher made me lift it out. Everyone found it hilarious.
- I love horses and horse riding.
- I've had a horse on loan before. He was over 16hh (for those who don't understand what I mean by that, let's just say he's talllllll), chestnut coloured and called Harley. I loved him dearly and still believe I do though I haven't seen him in years.
- I had an obsession with climbing trees and jumping off of crates when I was younger. I roped my bestie, Cat (Through a Cat's Eyes), into doing it with me.
- I started the eco committee at my primary school and spoke at quite a few assemblies because of it. Funny how I have a fear of public speaking now though, huh? ;3
- My friends and I got called into the headmistress's office more than I would like to admit... :3
- The book blogger I go the furthest back with and am still in contact with today is the awesome Zoe from Bookhi! (THREE YEARS, ZOE! *high five*)
- My favourite colour is turquoise.
- I have to take the bus to school.
- I have a lot of favourite heroines but my ultimate favourites have to be Tris (Divergent) and Allie (The Immortal Rules).
- My favourite hero is without a doubt William Herondale. BACK OFF GUYS, AS I'VE SAID REPEATEDLY, HE IS MINE! DIBS! Muhahahaha!
- I'd love to travel the world some day.
- If I manage to fall completely in love with a storyline, I don't pay as much attention to the characters. Though if the storyline is less bold and outstanding, I do need A LOT of character development!
- Ah, yes. DEVELOPMENT! The most essential thing needed for me to like a novel. Character development, plot develop, relationship development... I just need development, ok?! :P
- I'm very much a country girl - having lived in the country for more than half my life. Try and get me to sleep next to a busy main street and you're just asking for trouble.
- My favourite (not bookish) quote has got to be: "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." :')
- My favourite book-to-movie adaptions are Harry Potter (obviously) and the Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
- I hate tea and coffee. I'm a hot chocolate girl. ;D
- Wooo! Half way! Are you bored yet?
- I let my friend cut my hair a few weeks ago. CALL ME BRAVE!
- I detest Maths with a passion yet am currently taking Higher Maths - talk about SUPER hard. :(
- I love high heels.
- And getting dressed up with high heels on.
- Though I tower over six foot when I do this (and I know this by standing next to my dad).
- Otherwise, I love my baggy t-shirts and leggings.
- I'm not much of a clothes shopper... A book shopper? YES! Clothes? Not so much.
- I don't own a Kindle and am not sure if I ever will... I have my iPad for ebooks.
- My favourite TV shows are Friends, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and The Vampire Diaries. I can quote all of these.
- I've more or less gone off Pretty Little Liars... The last season was just too boring for me. :3
- I'm obsessed with all the Barbie and Disney movies. Who isn't?!
- I really want to work in publishing and/or be an author when I'm older!
- I love writing short stories for English though we barely do any. :(
- I've been chased by cows three times. Once, by a bull (where my friend and me ended up hiding in a hollow tree). Twice, by a herd. Yes, a HERD! Third time, from a cow called Cookie because I got too near to her calf. For the record, I was at least four metres away from it!
- Consequently, I have a fear of cows. As well as mice and enclosed spaces (lifts, in particular, and being locked inside a car).
- If I have too much sugar, I go really hyper and can't settle... Especially if I'm in class! :3
- I'm a Shadowhunter and Dauntless initiate and study at Hogwarts.
- I recently went to see The Lion King musical. Twas good. :)
- I love me blogging besties loads! ;)
- As I'm writing this, I should really be writing an essay. Which is due for Wednesday. -.- PROCRASTINATOR RIGHT HERE!
- I have a new blog design.
- Do you like it?
- I'm still not sure... Sorry about the size of the font! I'm working to fix it!
- Hmmmm, have to make the last fact gooooood.
- I love Douglas Booth, Jamie Campbell Bower, Jennifer Lawrence and Lily Collins - they're perfect! :D
Since I think everyone I know has already done this tag, it's going to be quite tricky for me to tag anyone... but I'd love to see Kezia (Chapterosity), Beverley (A Reading Daydreamer), Maya (The Book Nook) and Jack (The Book Stop) do it! However, if you've already done it or don't really want to, it's fine! ;P
Happy Reading,
Rachel xoxo
