What makes someone a best friend?
The person that just gets you and all your faults and hang ups and how lame you are and accepts it anyway. Like, my bffl is the person that knows exactly how unconfident I am and how unassertive and doesn't miss a chance to point it out. Like when talking about me coaching, she was like 'oh, and how do you speak to them? Come on guys! Could you um, maybe go run now? If you feel like it? Um." Except she's right, I do speak like that, it's eerie how well she knows. Or she congratulates me if I'm able to brush off a shop assistant or if instead of following her lead, I make her follow mine. But she makes me better and I'm so thankful to have her. I think best friends are the people you're allowed to let know that you're grateful to have them in your life. But at the same time, I'm allowed to bag her out for the weirdo parts of her personality. With girls, it's like, I know I'm in because I see her in her home clothes, like baggy unflattering jumpers, though she'd never leave the house like that, and she'll be like 'You know, I don't get it how..." rather then just give me a patent 'are you stupid?' look for asking the question when she actually doesn't know either. I also think a big part of being best friends, (this was a meme), if you're guys, it's when you look at a hot girl and are like 'she's hot' 'agreed'. If you're girls, it's the ability to look at a hot girl and be like 'She's a bitch' 'agreed'. BFFLS FOR LYFE.
What Christmas (or Hanukkah) present do you remember the most?
In 2001, the year of the bushfires, I got an Amazing Ally doll, which was pretty fucking cool at the time, she had like chips that you inserted and you could play games with her and she talked and omg, she was the shit. When the bushfires came close enough on Christmas evening to our house that we couldn't get home beacuse the road was blocked off, it was the first thing I took when we started walking home.
Tell me about a movie/song/tv show/play/book that has changed your life.
A book that changed my life is Harry Potter because without it I might not have started writing fanfiction, a play that changed my life is Starship, because without it I wouldn't have found Tumblr, a TV show that changed my life is Glee, for obvious reasons and song... 'I kissed a girl' was a pretty big deal for me back in year 9.Name one physical feature that you like about yourself, and one you dislike.
I like my hair and I don't like my arms.
Would you like to reconnect with any friends you’ve lost contact with?
Yes... I'd like to reconnect more with Jess, but I'm seeing her tomorrow. I'd like to talk to you-know-who, but I'm not doing anything about that and my best friend from my childhood Mimi.
What’s more important in a relationship: physical attraction or emotional connection?
...Maybe physical attraction. I mean, obviously an emotional connection is vital as well, but without physical attraction, how is it different to just being friends. I think that attractiveness comes from emotional connection to a large extent however so you don't usually have one without the other.
Name a movie that you knew would be terrible just from reading the title.
Ice Age 4.
What holiday do you most look forward to?
Christmas :) Pressies and rellies and food.
Do you drink? Smoke? Do drugs? Why, or why not?
Drink yes. My mum might be an alcoholic but I dont have a problem with alcohol. I gave a few drinks now and then and it's fine, as I'm trying to find things I don't dislike, but I don't care about it. I don't smoke. Ew.
Do you enjoy being with only one or two friends, or with a large group of people?
One or two friends I think. Or maybe like 5 close friends, all just watching a movie or gossiping or something. Like at sleepovers.
If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Chicken.
If your partner wanted to wait until marriage before having sex, would you stay in that relationship?
Yeah, I'd just press for marrige earlier I guess. I mean, I'd have to check their views on a bunch of other contentious religious issues first like abortion and gay marriage but no sex until marriage alone wouldn't send me running.
If you go back to one point in time to give advice to yourself, when would you go and what would you say?
"It's not worth it Lucy, please trust him less."
What’s your “quirkiest” habit?
I give each person I meet a rating on the bangable scale when I see them.
What is “normal?” Are you normal?
Normal is just what a majority of people are like. I'm pretty normal in some ways, Ihave the same desires to be liked, to have a boyfriend, to be understood, to be happy, to have money and fun etc, but i'm not normal in that I'm more intelligent than your average person, I'm less social than average and I'm really shy.
Someone close to you is dying. You have the choice to let this person live for 10 more years, but if you do, you cause the death of 10 strangers. You don’t have to see them die. Do you take the offer?
I don't know. Depends how it was. I wouldn't rule it out.
What is one thing you could never forgive?
Killing someone I love.
Would you rather be in a relationship after the honeymoon period ends, or be single?
Be in a relationship...
Is it possible for guys and girls to be just friends?
It's unlikely but possible.
Where do you and your friends go to hang out?
Each others houses mostly.
What is the best TV theme song ever?
Sleepover Club/ Saddle Club.
When you were young, what would you dream you would be when you grew up?
Doctor.
When you’re alone in your own home, do you walk around naked?
Yeah, or in just undies/bra.
What part of the past year sticks out in your mind?
The parts with you-know-who, this summer hanging out with my bffl at the beach/mall etc, HSC study. Nothing really from uni sticks out at all lol.
You win a scratch-off lottery game that gives you $2000 a week (after taxes) for the rest of your life. Do you keep your job?
Nope.
Could you be in a long-distance relationship? If you’re in one, what makes yours work?
I could do it, but it would be very hard... actually I don't know. I'd probably go for it but I'd suck at it.
What’s the best route to your heart?
Stomach.
Have you ever met someone through the internet, then met them in real life?
No but I want to!
What is your favorite sport?
Netball x a million.
What has been troubling you lately?
Food. Diet.
Did you enjoy your high school prom? If you haven’t gotten there yet, do you look forward to it? If you didn’t go, why not?
I enjoyed it. It was fun, I like dressing up and being with friends. I like seeing guys I like in suits. I like dancing and celebrating.
Tell me about the last book you read.
I'm rereading 'The other Boleyn girl' right now.
What is the nicest compliment you’ve ever been given?
I got 'You're the best coach ever!' today. That was very sweet.
Who was your first crush?
His name was Daniel. He was the boy across the road.
Do you believe that there is life on other planets?
Yeah, I think it's egocentric to believe we're the only life out there.
Are there any childhood possessions you still hold on to?
I have my teddy 'Tedda Boy'. I used to have one called 'Tedda GIrl' but idk what happened to her. I have all my Kelly dolls still.
Give me an unpopular opinion you have.
I think/know this is transphobic but if gender roles are mostly socially constructed and there aren't girl toys/colours/actions/games/sports/etc, then how is someone one or the other, apart from their genitals/chromosomes? I'm a girl because I have girl parts. And so then, you get transgender people, FTM etc that are completely 'feminine' still, as per gender roles, but they are just like 'well, I'm a man, who cares if I like pink.' Or they still like guys and instead of being a straight girl, are now a gay man. I don't understand the difference. Either you are your gender because of genetics or you act in the way that is socially expected of that gender. Otherwise what part of you is 'male' or 'female'? I know if transgender people read this, I'm probably offending them so I'm sorry about that but I don't get it.
What is your ethnic heritage?
Aboriginal/ Irish/ Australian obvs.
Describe a person that inspires you.
Starkid inspires me. Everyone in Starkid inspires me, especially Meridith Stephian and Darren Criss. It's the way they work hard and are so funny and such genuine friends and people. They don't care about what they look like, just that they're doing what they love and being dorks and being who they are.
Do you believe in luck?
Yeah, everything is random so getting luck is great. No divine plan, just getting what you can out of what you get. I've got the lucky rolls of the dice thus far, not being born starving in Africa, and having a pretty high IQ so I'm just hoping that keeps up.
Describe the last time you were very angry at someone.
THis morning, I was running late and I blamed Mum (I was waiting out the front for her to get home so I could leave) and I was so stressed out and I was swearing cos that makes me feel better (there are studies on this, saying taboo words out loud is great for reducing tension and stress in yourself. It literally does help, like if you get hurt, swearing does make you feel better. So when I'm really upset, I reel off a few choice words I never say out loud otherwise (I do type them when I blog sometimes though). But anyway, I was stressed and angry at mum.
Do you want to live until you’re 100?
Duh, it's all part of my plan. 107 would be ideal though, because I want to be alive in the 22nd century.
Do people change? If so, how do you keep a relationship together when both of you start to change?
Yeah, people do change a bit, but more than that, people just grow up and move into different stages of their lives and I don't think that can be possible to stay together when people end up on really different pages.
Have you ever risked a friendship by telling someone you liked them?
And I'd do it again. Friendship is great but if you have a chance to make something special, go for it.
Would you rather be alone doing something you enjoy, or doing something you don’t like with your best friends?
Alone doing something I enjoy, but a mix is good. Also things I enjoy with my friends.
Do you practice what you preach?
Mostly but I'm not perfect.
If you take precautions to stay safe, do you ultimately act more recklessly?
Maybe but it's still worth it to have precautions.
What do you value more in a significant other: Attractiveness or intelligence?
Intelligence.
Are you hard-headed?
Lol yes. I'm stubborn as heck.
When have you felt most alive?
When I'm either being really active, like playing a great game of netball, or when I'm feeling something extreme and I think this is what life is about.
How do you know what true love is?
You don't. But when you are both comfortable around someone and the most aware at the same time. When someone lights you up just by being themselves. Someone that supports you and loves you and deals with all your quirks and just fits.
Would you want to know the exact date and time you were going to die?
...If it were far away. If it turns out to be a month from now I'd be pretty pissed and would rather not know.
Where is “home” for you?
Where I live.
What song best describes your life right now?
This ones for the girls, by Martina McBride. Idk, first thing I saw in my itunes.
Do you want to be perfect?
Yes please.
What have you never tried, but would really like to someday? What’s holding you back?
I don't know... I'm supposed to be running a 9k in three weeks but I keep hesitating and now I don't think I'm going to do it. I'm scared and lazy.
How do you express your creativity?
Writing and drawing mainly. Blogging lol.
Describe your neighborhood.
Pretty chill. It's the suburbs. Not the nicest suburb, not the worst.
Name something you only liked because it was popular.
Maybe the Avengers? I mean, they were good, but I don't know if I'd like them if they weren't popular or if they are just overrated.
Give me the story of your life in six words.
I am such a fail lol
