Fang's Questions: 

Q1 How was your day? Anything exciting happened?
    Shit so far really. Was at uni and despite it being a short introductory lecture into that module, I was told that we have another essay based exam for it plus two pieces of coursework that are group based. Kill. Me. Now. Though tonight should be better when Paul comes up!

    Q2 Ever done anything that falls waaay outside of the social norms of your gender/age group? ie watched My Little Pony and enjoyed it or something?
      I think this question would have been more relevant if I was asked it at high school. Back then I listened to a lot of classical music which was way out of the social norm for a twelve year old girl. Well, compared to the girls in my year group anyway.

      Q3 If you were to classify yourself into a certain social group/style (ie gothic, emo, stoner, etc) which one would you place yourself in?
        In high school I did go through an emo stage but now I'd classify myself as a geek. And proud.

        Q4 Favourite Sesame Street character?
          NONE OF THEM! All forms of muppets, puppets or ventriloquist dummies freak me out! I'm deadly serious when I say that I want to punch Elmo in the face.

          Q5 Seek out a popular YouTube video, check the comments. What are your thoughts on those people?

            I don't really have any thoughts on them. They enjoyed the video like I did so... yeah.... Moving on!

            Q6 Do you have any neurotic/OCD tendencies?

            Everytime I wash my hands I lather and rinse the soap off three times and I always have to make sure that pens have their lids on or that they are unclicked so that the ink doesn't dry out. AM I CRAZY?

            Q7 What's the meaning of life?

            To just live it and enjoy it

            Q8 Do you collect something?

            I used to collect rubbers (erasers for my American followers) when I was younger but now I just collect mementos.

            Q9 Ultimate fantasy?

            That I'm an elf and own a pet dragon

            Q10 Weirdest dream?

            I have so many weird and wonderful dreams that I'll just tell you about last nights dream which was a mash up of Merlin, The Three Muskateers and Pirates of the Carribean. It was epic. I was D'Artagnan.

            Q11 Have you enjoyed this "11 Questions" thing?
              Yes, it was alright but I now have to answer another eleven questions...

              Stephanie's Questions: 

              Q1 If you could time travel, would you go to the future or the past? Why?

              I'd travel to the past so that I could experience my favourite era's, the Victorian era and Medieval era, for myself.

              Q2 What is your favourite fast food place?

              Lately it has been McDonalds!

              Q3 Have you done the personality test? (here) What is your personality type?

              Mine is INFJ: Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Judging. Pretty accurate I must say!

              Q4 Are you superstitious?

              Not really, though I do believe in jinxes...

              Q5 Who is your biggest inspiration?

              Probably JK Rowling who was a single mother on the welfare, who became a writing legend...

              Q6 Did you have an imaginary friend as a child? 

              Nope! Always wish I had though

              Q7 What is your favourite season?

              Autumn. It's not too cold or hot, plus the mutli-coloured leaves makes everything look gorgeous

              Q8 Chocolate or lollies?

              Oooh... both!

              Q9 Are you allergic to anything?

              Nope! Not that I know of anyway...

              Q10 What are you most talented at?

              Um... reading? Seriously, I have no talent

              Q11 Are you a grammar nazi? :P

              I claim to be but I'm really not. Probably best that I'm not though as poor grammar would annoy me more than it does now.

              3. Hm, I like Sesame Street, but I'm not really a fan. I like Elmo because most kids I know adore him, but with that high-pitched voice, I sometimes wanna punch him, too. Haha!

                Aww, Autumn. ♥

                Thanks for the tag, Hazel. :D

                1. I never understood why kids love him, still don't. I find his high pitched voice annoying and creepy lol!

              5. Omg, I love your questions , definitely answering them soon, thanks for the tag :D

                I don't like Sesame Street either, I just don't get the whole obsession surrounding it.

                As for your OCD tendencies, the pen thing is pretty common, a lot of people do that. But washing your hands three times is a LITTLE crazy :P

                Autumn is my favourite month too <3

              7. I'm the same way about pens. It bugs my mom because she NEVER recaps or unclicks pens, so when she tries to use mine, she's always like, "OMG MURRR WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING?!?" and I'm like, "...because it's closed."

              9. Great answers. I'm left handed and I've never wished I was right handed. However, I had to force myself to do a lot of things with my right hand because it was easier in this world!

              10. I'm right there with you on the pen cap thing... I like writing things down the old fashioned way and they always seem to dry out at the worst possible time so I don't take any chances...

              13. Good luck with the exam and essays. Student life is really demanding, but rewarding in the end. And I'm glad you don't have allergies, it's really painful to have one.

              14. I'm more of a Burger King guy really. Just preference of taste, no major ego issues.
                That said, congrats on your award! I'm so pathetic I never get awards on blogs or real life.

              15. This was awesome! Your dream sounded epic! I had one the other night about a sequel to Harry Potter and we see a baby Hedwig with huge eyes and a tiny little smile. OMG, I woke up wishing it had been real! lol I think watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the day before totally influenced my dreams. lol

                Just had McDonalds--so love fast food. :)

                Loved all of this!!!!

                Oh, and you're so not crazy about washing your hands and keeping your pens safe from drying out. :)
