@purlturtle thanks for the tag!
ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Technically no. As while I chose my name because I had sort of ‘absorbed it into my consciousness’ from a TV character, I didn’t name myself after them. However, if I had named myself a few years later I probably would have haha (Sam Carter, role model). But nope, not named after anyone.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Teared up a bit yesterday but didn’t actually cry. Tuesday. I got scared and it’s like a pressure release valve I guess.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Nope. Never will either.
WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?
Hmm. I’m not a sporty person. I do keep meaning to take my basketball to the court and play a game of 21 against myself. A million years ago when I was at high school I played cricket. I’ve always liked tennis but rarely ever had the opportunity to play. The trouble with sports is they generally require other people and I don’t do well with people.
DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Yeah sometimes. I don’t recognise it when other people use it on me though. I’m weirdly literal. I guess I can get my sarcasm as I know I’m being sarcastic.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Oooh interesting, I’m not sure. I mean there’s so much to take in about a person in just a single glance. Age, gender, size etc. I suppose it probably boils down to threat assessment – do they look scary?
WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOR?
Brown
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Happy endings 110%. I’m the worlds biggest wuss, I don’t do scary movies at all. Anything with a jump scare in it is a huge no-no.
ANY TALENTS?
I like to sort things. I’m also good at doing things the exact same way, every single time.
WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
Not my fault, I didn’t choose it – Harlow, in Essex (England). Debated whether to answer this but I’m pretty sure it’s not my security question anywhere haha.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?
Writing, art, lego, piano, reading, video games. Think that covers the broad strokes but there’s a lot to unpack with some of those ‘areas’.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?
Nope. I don’t do well with anything that’s alive to be honest, it’s too unpredictable for me.
HOW TALL ARE YOU?
5ft 3″ (I think). Mum has tried to tell me for years that I’m 5ft 2″ because she’s 3″ and she’s taller. But she definitely isn’t anymore (I hate that actually, mum should be taller than me, she’s the mum but alas shrinkage).
FAVOURITE SUBJECT?
What when I was at school? I always wanted it to be English because I do love stories, but we never got to analyse them how I wanted (meta posts my beloved). Honestly it was probably History. It’s kinda a story itself. The cause and the effect and the interconnected nature of developments.
These days it’s definitely writing. I could talk about it for days.
DREAM JOB?
Funnily enough – writer 🙂 Well actually I suppose to be accurate – storyteller. Writing is the medium I am most practiced with but I do hope to level up my art skills enough to utilise those. Illustration, cover art etc. at a minimum but how cool would it be to draw my own graphic novel? I’m a million miles away from being good enough for that but that’s why it’s a dream.
I have a dozen novel series I want to share with the world. Maybe I will be able to one day.
