~The Liebster Award~

I haven't really been tagged for this, but Rachel said anyone who wanted to could do it, so here I am.



1. What's one thing you have in excess?

Uh...saved things. I literally save éverything. Things I made when I was little, gifts I got(even gifts like cut-out letters of my name and cute little boxes covered in paper with drawings on it), the pocket-knife I've had since I was eight or nine, diaries from when I was small, old notebooks that are full of scribbles from a seven year old me, really everything. So yeah, I have ''saved things'' in excess.



2. How do you spend a lazy day?

Reading books, writing in empty notebooks, write in my diary or watch a movie.



3.Who is your favourite author?

Oh, that's a hard one. There are so many authors I like and so many different ones. Their books are all so different and great, how can I choose just one? Okay, yes, maybe...maybe I choose John Flanagan. He has written Ranger's Apprentice with 12+ books and Brotherband with already 6, and I enjoyed each one of them. I'll choose him then. Also, Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows together. You know, The Guernsey Society(to make it somewhat shorter to say).


4. Are you more like your father or your mother? Explain.

I wouldn't know, honestly. I think I'm a mix of the two. If you would speak of looks, then I would...still be a mix. And character, I think too(I, of course, have my own personality, but you inherited some character traits from your mom and dad, right?). So, let's keep it to ''I'm a mix of them both'', shall we?


5. What is your biggest pet peeve?

Uhm...biggest pet peeve, biggest pet peeve...people who argue loud and who are rude, I guess. I don't really have a lot of pet peeves. Bicycles who make weird noises when you bike and who are too small for you. I know this, because I have been riding on a bicycle like that a few times last week when we went swimming, because my mom always takes my bike to work. My older sister has that bike and she likes it, but I don't. It's really an annoying bike(if you know what I mean).


6. If you could spend a day with a celebrity, who would it be and what would you do?

No one and nothing? No, but seriously, who would it be and what would I be doing? I don't know. I have no clue what I would do. And who the celebrity would be. I think that if I could spend a day with a celebrity, it would be John Flanagan or Jennifer A. Nielsen, and I would have something to eat with either one of them and in the mean time I would ask things about their books. If they were going to write more bookseries, how they started the idea for the first book, how they made their characters so incredibly great, what the next book was going to be about and maybe I would ask if they could tell me how they wrote real believable characters with unique personalities and who the reader gets to know while reading the book. And maybe, at the end of the day, I would ask for a signature. Maybe. (I can count authors with celebrities, can I?)
Well, there was your answer anyway :)


7. What is one thing you hate that most people love?

Mushrooms? :D I find mushrooms very distasteful, and the rest of my family likes them(well, almost the rest of my family). But that's probably not a good answer, so...I don't like a lot of attention. That will do as an answer, right?


8. Give three words that best describe you.

Oh, I hate these kind of questions. I never know what to answer. How can I describe myself? I would say...not short-tempered(if that is a word I can use)...uh, indulgent, because I admit quickly to things people ask(like when my younger siblings ask me to play and I say ''okay then'')and...eager to learn? Because, we've just had two weeks of vacation and no studies, and I really liked starting to study again. I always like learning new things. Or patient, because I don't mind waiting long. So, to the next question, fast.


9. Which music-genre is your go-to?
I like a lot of music genres. Classic is good, and movie soundtracks. Also electronically(if it's not too loud) like Alan Walker music. I am gonna say every music-genre(cheating-alert, cheating-alert). I don't have just one music-genre as my go-to, so.


10. What is a little talent of yours?

Oh, come on...a little talent of mine? I don't really have that. Okay, yes, everyone has their talents, but I don't know what to say. I mean, I like drawing and normally the drawings succeed pretty good...that then? I'll go with that before I say something I will regret ;)


11. If you could bring one fictional character to life, who would it be and why?


Cosmo Brown from Singin' in the Rain. Because he's funny and a good friend and I love his character in Singin in the Rain.


That was the end of all the questions. I really liked doing this. It has been a while since I did a tag(this is like a tag), and I liked doing it again.

  1. 1. I was a saver too. About every year I go through my stuff and wind up throwing out like a third of it. I just look at it and go, "WHY did I keep that?"

    2. Yes, yes and yes!

    3. John Flanagan! I still haven't found the 7th Brotherband at the libraries. Grrr. But my mom received the Guernsey Society for her birthday, only I have to wait til my older sister reads it.

    4. I think I'm more like my mom. I don't know, I never knew my dad.

    5. People who leave the shower head engaged, but turn off the water! Or my little siblings telling me how to play a computer game that I've played a gazillion times before.

    6. Good choice! If I could meet a celebrity and spend the day with them, I think it would be the girls or Celtic Woman.

    7. Me too! I'm more tolerant of them now, but man I don't like them!

    8. Ugh, I hate answering those questions!

    9. Irish is mine.

    10. I think mine would have to be baking.

    11. You know, I still haven't seen that movie. I really, really, REALLY need to find it somewhere!

    Good answers!

    1. Yes, exactly! And sometimes I look at something I saved and think back of the moment when I got it, and then I think: ''you know, let's just keep this one''. I am really horrible at throwing things away. No,me neither. And the worst thing is, is that it has to be translated first in Dutch(which makes me have to wait longer), then put in the shops and then put in the library and then I just need to find the book first, before others take it away. The Guernsey society is really great, you have to read it! Oh, I'm so sorry for you(about your dad)
      Oh yes! I mean, somewhat older sisters can play computer games on their own too, right?
      Mushrooms are disgusting. But if it comes on the table, then I just eat one plate of it. Nothing more.
      Singin' in the Rain? It's really good. I have only seen it once, when we were at friends. I can't remember where we watched it anymore. I think they had the dvd.
      Thanks! Also thanks for commenting :)
