Holiday Time!

So this is the last post you'll be getting from me until next Wednesday as I will be playing tourist in bonnie Scotland! 

We're going to Edinburgh for five days to explore the city during the day and delve into it's murky past at night with various ghostly tours in the spirit of Halloween.

I'm really looking forward to it and I promise to take loads of photos while I'm there. 

Hope you don't miss me too much! :P

Q&A Time!

Hey guys!

Here is that Q&A I promised you all ages ago. Hope it's worth the wait!

A Lunatic Pope asked:

Q1 Who is this Pablo guy your blog is named after?

Ans: Pablo is my boyfriend Paul. His friends all call him Pablo because he's a very talented artist and because he called me his angel, the blog name sorta created itself.

Q2 Do you love Ron Paul?

Ans: Umm... who?

Q3 What would you do if you ran into the Hasidic Plumber abusing some Raccoons? 

Ans: I'd save the raccoons! I've always thought they looked quite cute actually!

Bouncin' Barb asked:

Q1 Have you traveled outside of your country and if not, where would you like to go first? If you have, where was it and what did you like about it? 

Ans: I've spent a week in Rome which was my first ever holiday. I went with Paul and loved seeing all the sights and just being alone with him. I would love to go back again and explore the city a bit more.

Jodie asked:

Q1 For your birthday, do you usually prefer a gift or money?

Ans: As a kid, I wanted lots and lots of toys. But now that I'm older I'm more than happy with just getting money. Though that being said, I do love getting gifts too lol!

Q2 Do you have any homosexual friends?

Ans: Nope

Q3 What is your fave color? And would you ever dye your hair that color?

Ans: Well my favourite colour is red and I would have no problem dying my hair that colour, but I'm not brave enough!

Cricketfreak asked:

Q1 What do you love about your boyfriend?

Ans: Absolutely everything! The way I feel so safe in his arms, how he listens to all my nonsense, the way his eyes light up when he looks at me... I could be here all night talking about him!

Anna asked:

Q1 How did you and Paul meet?

Ans: We met online actually! Then we decided to meet up in real life and we've been together ever since.

Q2 Why did you choose to study Psychology?

Ans: I chose Psychology because I did a module of it during my Childcare course and found it really interesting. I probably wouldn't have went to university if Psychology wasn't offered as I didn't want to do anything else, like nursing for example.

Q3 Absolute favourite movie?

Ans: OMG how can I answer that?! I've got so many! I'll just give you a list instead... National Treasure, Stardust, The Man in the Iron Mask, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Lion King, Triple X...

Q4 Favourite memory?

Ans: I love remembering about the good times at school. At how my friends and I used to just double over with laughter everyday over the stupidest things imaginable. I miss those days.

Q5 What were you like as a kid?

Ans: When I was really young, I was very quiet, backward and hardworking. As I got older, I was still shy and hardworking but I also got bolder. If people annoyed me, I told them which led to a lot of arguments! I miss that boldness, now I'm far too pc.

Q6 Whose your favourite Greek God?

Ans: I don't really have a favourite but I'll choose Athena

Jewels asked:

Q1 Do you sleep on the side of the bed closest to, or furthest from, the door?

Ans: I always sleep on the side closest to the door in my own house but in hotels it doesn't really matter.

Q2 Who is your favourite musical artist/group/band?

Ans: I don't really have a favourite! I just tend to like certain songs from a multitude of artists instead of liking one specific band etc. If anything, I'm a massive fan of composers like Hans Zimmer

Q3 Would you rather...?

cat/dog              - Dog

snuggle/go out  - Snuggle

Ans: No not at all

Q2 If you had two choices, to go sky diving without a parachute, or face a bull while wearing red, which would you choose, and why?

Ans: Yes I do, very much so.

Q3 What is the most bizarre thing you've ever done/wished to do?

Indistinctive Writer asked:

Q1 Can you do a make-up tutorial?

Ans: OMG no. I have no make-up skills whatsoever. I only ever wear mascara and eyeliner anyway.

Ans: Yes! I absolutely adore Disney films.

Q3 Let's say, you win an all-expense paid trip for two with luxury accommodations to a destination of your choice, where would you go and who will come with you?

Ans: Well I'd obviously take Paul with me but the destination choice is a lot harder to decide! I think maybe New York so that we could stay in one of those 5 star hotel suites and take in the amazing views all night long.

Mynx asked:

Q1 If the world thinks that the Irish accent is the sexiest, do you agree, or is there an accent you think is sexier?

Ans: You know what? Let the aliens touch down and wipe out the zombies!

Rebecca asked:

Q1 If you could change one thing you did in your past what would it be?

Ans: Probably nothing really because everything I did has made me into who I am today. Though maybe I wouldn't have spent so much time pining over a guy who was only interested in giving me mixed signals when I was fourteen =/

Q2 Where would you like to be in the next 10 years: job, home, relationships etc etc?
