Right so I have been nominated for this 'Liebster Award' which is basically just a chain mail that goes round blogs to get new people noticed and basically you just have to answer 11 questions created by the person who nominated you, so its not actually an award, damn. Anyway I was nominated by offbeatemily who is a really close friend to me and she basically blogs about her life and what she does and reviews make up and things like that. Now I know you have to nominate 5 people for this but sadly I do not know anyone with a blog appart from Emily and she nominated me so I wont be able to nominate any other bloggers but anyway here goes my 11 questions.
What made you start you blog?
Long story short Emily sent me a link to her blog and from there I decided to make my own, I'd love to answer that in more detail and much longer but sadly that is the story of how I made my blog. Now I had thought if vlogging before as I do watch a few vloggers on YouTube but to be honest I thought, no one is going to watch me, my friends and family would joke about it and quite honestly..I'm self conscious about hearing myself on recordings because I have a lisp and it just makes me cringe up every time I hear myself, as soon as I hear a recording of me I have to turn it off or find a way to make it stop as I just cant stand it.
Who is your biggest inspiration for your blog?
Well to be honest I don't really know who my inspiration is but when it came to the vloggs I watched charlieissocoollike and JennaMarbles not so much as I do when I first discovered them but I still try and keep up with Jenna Marble's videos.
What is your favourite post you have written?
I feel my best post is my "Roads where were going we dont need roads", why you ask, well it I fell when writing that post I went into good detail and had some good points and content pull I feel that I started getting the swing of things in that post as my first couple of posts I didn't really know what I was doing so it probably seemed a little miss matched but that post everything seemed to go together and I felt quite proud about posting it.
What is your favourite post that you have read in the past month?
I haven't really read many blogs as I've been trying to figure out my own but I do watch vlogs so I'd have to say my favourite was George Benson's (HurderOfBufallouffalo as some others may now him) "GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND TAG WITH AMY!" now I know he posted it 8 months ago but I watch his other channel HurderOfBuffalo and I clicked on a side video which then led to his vlogging channel and from there I saw his girlfriend tag video, I had previously seen JennaMarbles' "The Mom Tag - Meet My Mom" and I was intrigued as to what it was so I watched his one and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
What are your goals for the rest of 2015?
What I aim to do in 2015 is pretty much travel more, get tattooed, read a book and possibly get a girlfriend..who knows. So travelling, basically I just wan't to go out and explore as it's fairly cheep now to go anywhere, I mean c'mon its £16 for a return trip to France...FRANCE for £16 it costs more than that for me to go on a night out. Anyway I'm going to Spain in the summer for the second time and hopefully going to Amsterdam as well after that which is a start I guess, eventually I want to go to America and Dubai and see the sights and just explore this vast planet but it isn't going to happen any time soon haha. Getting tattooed, basically I want to get my sleeve finished this year, fingers crossed, its just deciding what I want to get that's the hard part hmm. As for reading a book I know it doesn't sound like anything amazing to some people but to be honest I never read unless it's a magazine or something on the internet, I used to read loads but as I've got older I've kinda lost interest in it, plus if I start walking around with a book my mates will genuinely say "What the f*** is that" so that's what's kinda held me back a little from reading but I do want to read a book and possibly review it when it's done, I don't know what book it will be or what it will be about but it's something I haven'd done in ages and feel that it would be nice to get back into. Now getting a girlfriend, that's the hardest one, my longest relationship has been 3 months and if I'm honest I lost interest in it after a month, I was 18 at the time and she was 20 and we practically lived out of each others pocked constantly staying round each others house literally every night, there was never any me time, considering before her I had never really had a longish term relationship and I could always get up when I wanted and do what I wanted for the day it was a big shock not to have that freedom and to be honest I was 18 and it felt like I was married, constantly waking up next to the same person every day bored me, sometimes it's better to wake up alone that with someone you're not happy waking up to, I think that's what drove us apart constantly being together, seeing too much of each other there was never time alone. But my "goal" is to hopefully find someone I am happy with and would enjoy waking up next to but I have learnt from my mistakes and not to spend every waking moment with someone.
What is your favourite thing about blogging?
Well I haven't really been doing it long but I'd have to say just being able to express myself in a way I wouldn't be able to do in person and actually being able to be myself even though it is just through a load of letters.
What is your favourite item of clothing?
I'd have to say my favourite is probably my camo Superdry coat. My mate Wayne from work always comes in with the freshest clothes on and I his camo Superdry jacket caught my eye, I had previously bought stuff off him like my Vans hoodie and some snapbacks but he was uming and aring about selling it as he wanted to swap for my Vans ski jacket now I know that it may have been a fair deal as they are both over £100 new but I didn't want to part with it as it wasn't that old. Eventually I got him down to wanting to sell it as he needed the money for his Amsterdam trip, I had a look on eBay and there was only a couple on there but they weren't exactly the same going for about £20-£30 and he didn't to sell it for that low, I would have paid the £20 but I did't really want to have to wait for it so latter that day I offered him £45 for it and it was a done deal and now I wear the coat pretty much every day.
If you could have any 3 people over for a dinner party, who would you invite and why?
Right, this is a difficult one because there are so many to choose from. One of them is definitely going to be Morgan Freeman because I could just sit there and listen to his voice all night, just narrating the evening. The second has got to be Jennifer Aniston as she is my celebrity crush, always has been and always will be and a dinner date would her would be amaaazing. As for the third I honestly don't know. I know it says 3 but I'm going to have to leave it at two as I don't want to say someone just for the sake of it.
What is your favourite meal?
When it comes down to food I am am very picky yet easily pleased. I don't and wont eat vegetables, the most I'd eat is stuff like potatoes, carrots, peas and sweetcorn. Mushrooms, peppers, onions and all that other stuff can just burn in hell. As soon as it touches my tongue I cringe up and feel physically sick, especially with mushrooms, the texture just makes me want to throw up. I remember whenever I went to dinner round my best mates house, for as long as I can remember I've always done this, we would be sat there eating a meal and come to the end of it, say it was spaghetti bolognese, come the end of the meal everything would be eaten but lest on my plate, to the side, would be a little pile of mushrooms and a little pile of onions. Despite my hatred for vegetables I am easily please, my favourite meal so I'd have to say would be a Tesco microwave korma. I know its basic but I just love it, see, easily please, I would happily have a jacket potato over anything and I'd finish every mouthful.
Which is your favourite social network and why?
My favourite social network would have to be Instagram, is that classed as social media, you can communicate through it so I suppose it is. The reason I like it is because I really enjoy photography and it's a place where I can show what I've done and other people can see what I've done. I can just fill it with loads of pictures a week if I had the time which sadly I don't.
What is your dream job?
My dream job is also very basic but it would make me so happy, I have a passion for photography, film and my bmx so my dream job would be to be a filmer/photographer for a professional team.
That is my Liebster Award post done and dusted I'd like to thank Emily for nominating me, its only taken me about a week on and off but there you go, I apologize its nothing amazing at all and has a couple of short basic answers I don't know if I had my mind on other things when I wa writing it or what but anyway it's done.
Now for the nominations....I would love to nominate people but I only know one person on blogger and that's Emily and she nominated me so I'm afraid I'm going to be unable to nominate anyone else so sadly this is where my Liebster Award chain finishes..
