You win some and you lose some. I’ve been losing for a while now

The TMI tag. It is something I have seen a few people I like to watch on YouTube do and I am feeling fairly uninspired on this lovely sunny day. Therefore, I thought I would give it a go and answer some questions. The whole thing is fairly reminiscent of the quizes people used to send round on MySpace…I, personally, think that it is a shame Facebook took over and it was no longer acceptable to add a random person because he/she had an awesome scene hair cut. Unfortunately I can no longer get up my old profile to do a comparison.

1: What are you wearing?
A black and white striped top, red hoodie, jeans, fluffy socks. Exciting I know.
2: Ever been in love?
Love is complicated. Are there varying levels of love? Everyone is different, and everyone makes you feel different. In which case I think I have.
3: Ever had a terrible breakup?
Nope.
4: How tall are you?
I am about 5’6″
5: How much do you weigh?
I am pleading the 5th on this one.
6: Any tattoos?
Yes…they’re both very small. I have many plans for many more. However, I have a small anchor on the palm side of index finger on my right hand, and a tiny sail boat behind my right ear.
7: Any piercings?
Yes. I have had my left wrist pierced 3 times, but they all had to come out for varying reasons. So I am left with my lip, nose, tregus, anti helix and my lobes.
8: OTP?
Troyler, Chuck and Blair and Delaina
9: Favourite show?
Where do I start?! The Gilmore Girls, Gossip Girl, The Mentalist, The Good Wife, Southland, Heroes, Lie To Me, White Collar, Poirot…I could go on.
10: Favourite bands?
You Me At Six, Pokey LaFarge, Fall Out Boy. So many more.
11: Something you miss?
The spring time, but its coming and I am very excited. Tulips and Daffodils, sunshine and Easter eggs.
12: Favourite song?
I find it really hard to narrow all of my favourite songs down to one. In fact, when faced with the question my mind has gone blank. I have many. 3 of my favourites are:
– The Academy Is… – The Phrase That Pays
– Young Love – Too Young To Fight It
– The Beautiful South – Woman In The Wall
13: How old are you?
24
14: Zodiac sign?
Aquarius
15: Quality you look for in a partner?
A good sense of humour, kindness and adventure.
16: Favourite Quote?
Again, so so many. Here’s one I mentioned in an earlier post: “Girls like us, when we love, it takes everything we have.”
17: Favourite actor?
Why do I keep having to choose just 1?! I am going to go for Channing Tatum. Take from that what you will.
18: Favourite color?
Pink. Black. Red.
19: Loud music or soft?
Always loud, until the sound completely consumes you.
20: Where do you go when you’re sad?
My bed, to read.
21: How long does it take you to shower?
A full on girl shower…20 minutes.
22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
Haha, forever. An hour and a half ish…
23: Ever been in a physical fight?
Not really. I have been punched and I have punched someone. I am not really sure these count as fights though.
24: Turn on?
Skinny jeans/tattoos
25: Turn off?
Those who can’t speak grammatically/those who are rude
26: The reason I started blogging?
I have always enjoyed writing, reading others blogs and I am full of opinions.

Injections, star nose moles and spiders.
28: Last thing that made you cry?
More terrible news.
29: Last time you said you loved someone?

50: Who should answer these questions next?
Anyone. Especially those who miss MySpace quizzes/are bored.

I have posted the list of questions in the comments on this post, so if you fancy doing it that’s where you can find them. If you don’t have a blog, you can just answer them in my comments section if you like.
I am hoping that this post wasn’t too boring. It is one of those days where I have started to write several posts and just haven’t been as into it as I should be. It is much easier for others to think for you some times.
And because this blog wasn’t all that exciting, I will now include some super cringe worthy MySpace photos. I have no idea who I was at 15…

(Some of these photos are not my own.)

all those used up clichés, well they’ve worn enough in the wind

As I haven’t done a GUY FRIDAY for ages, I present to you some of my favourite men you can find on Netflix!
Brendan Hines  – Lie To Me. Unfortunately there are only 3 series of this program which I became slightly obsessed with. Brendan plays a character called Eli Loker, who at the start never tells a lie, although he still has difficulties getting along with his boss. Its witty, pseudo intellectual and written by the same people that write the Mentalist. In my books that makes it a winner. Plus Brendan Hines looks a little like Adam Brody.

Penn Badgley – Gossip Girl. Okay, so Penn’s character Dan Humphrey was never my favourite character, but then no one could really compete with Chuck Bass for me. However, when Penn is not being Dan, he is rather beautiful. Plus, I have been a huge Gossip Girl fan since the beginning.

Hunter Parish – Weeds. Now, I am not usually one for blondes, but you can’t deny how pretty Hunter is. I am desperate for Netflix to add the newer series of Weeds. A) because that would mean seeing Hunter/Silas Botwin as a grown man rather than a teenager and B) more Guillermo Diaz!

Zachary Quinto – Heroes. I have just started watching Heroes from the beginning again as it was so long ago since I last watched it and I didn’t get to see any after series 1 because our tv wouldn’t record it. But I am looking forward to watching them all, especially as I needed something the fill the void of Lie to Me/White Collar and Weeds. And who can deny that Zachary/Sylar isn’t lovely to look at (and Milo Ventimiglia).

Ross McCall – White Collar. I have just finished all 3 series of White Collar that Netflix currently provide (although there are 2 more series) and oh boy was it a cliff hanger! Ross plays a con artist called Matthew Keller who is the main character, Neal Caffrey/Matt Bomer’s, arch rival. I didn’t realise that Ross was Scottish until I looked him up for this post, but it only makes me like him even more.

Kristoffer Polaha – Life Unexpected. I liked this series when it was on e4 and was pleased to see that it was on Netflix, so I can rewatch it if I feel the need. Kristoffer plays a bartender/father called Baze. He is the comic relief of the show although he does have a deeper side too. If you like teen dramas and Britt Roberson its worth a watch.

Aaron Paul – Breaking Bad. I mainly signed up to Netflix to watch Breaking Bad as everyone had been raving about it for so long! However, because my sister wanted to watch it too and she is never in, we haven’t even got through the first series yet. But I may just have to leave her to watch it on her own time and fully get into this series. Aaron plays Jesse Pinkman and although his jeans are ridiculous, he’s pretty hot.

Tom Hughes – Silk. This legal drama originally aired on the BBC and I was hooked instantly. It is brilliantly written and as well as Tom it also stars the lovely Rupert Penry-Jones. They are currently making another series apparently, which I am very excited about. The only sad thing is that Tom Huges is only in the first series as Nick Slade, a trainee lawyer. Never fear though, he has been in many other things such as Cemetery Junction and the newest episode of Miss Marple.

David Dawson – Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I never fancied this series when it was on the tv, but I needed something that was a light a fluffy to watch one day and though I would give it a go. I loved it and watched all 4 series in only a couple of days. David plays an affluent eccentric called Byron and I loved him in this. He has been in so many things but hasn’t yet been given a main role. I first noticed him as a dandy news paper reported in Ripper Street and fell in love with him and when I discovered he was in this series I was most pleased.

Tim Roth – Lie to Me. As I said at the beginning of this post I became obsessed with this series and in no small part because of the amazing part of Cal Lightman that Tim Roth plays. An odd man with an incredible brain and interesting people skills. Please go and watch it, I absolutely loved it. Roth is a firm favourite with Quentin Tarantino and is in films such as Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs as well as so many other programs and films. I love him.

So that is my list of noteworthy men on Netflix. Enjoy. x

Michael Mosley. He was also a Pilot on Pan Am and he was in the medical school series of Scrubs.

Sebastian Lopez. My friend tagged me in the comments of a photo of Sebastian. So all I know about him is he’s hot and he’s French.
