TAG: Get To Know Us

We were tagged by the absolutely lovely, Chiara of Books for a Delicate Eternity to do the 'Get to Know Me' tag so that's what we're doing today. And by 'we', I mean I'm answering the questions for both us while Chami is off studying...or something. Without further ado, let's go.

How tall are you?
We're both pretty short, though Chami is practically a dwarf. (She wears heels to distract me from this sometimes).

Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what?
Chami can actually sing and draw really well (though she will try and tell you otherwise). I, on the other hand, don't really have a 'hidden' talent though I will say, I'm quite a beast at making Stir-frys.

What's your biggest blog related pet peeve? 
I have no idea about Chami (probably nothing), but I get annoyed at people who write really horrible reviews. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but some people can take it too far.

What's your biggest non blog related pet peeve?
Oh God, I'm so bad at answering these for Chami. The only thing I can think of is bitches- Chami does not like bitches. It's the same for me, but I also hate people who walk really, really slowly.

What's your favourite song?
Chami lives for Florence and the Machine and Daughter. I think mine is Daniel in the Den by Bastille, at the present time.

What's your favourite Etsy shop that isn't yours?
Neither of us have a shop, so that's not a problem but we also don't buy things off Etsy. It's kind of expensive to have things shipped out here usually and we don't have money for that.

What's your favourite way to spend your free time when you're alone?
Skyping each other, or sending each other pictures of goats. Oh, and you know, this little thing called READING.

What's your favourite junk food?
ALL THE FOOD. Literally, all the food.

Do you have a pet or pets? If so, what kind and what are their names?
I think Chami had fish at some point but I'm pretty sure she killed them (by accident, possibly). I have a budgie named Tweety and a dog (a Spoodle, a cross between a poodle and a cocker spaniel) named Tara (or Mara, as Chami calls her).

(Isn't she just gorgeous?)

What are your number one favourite nonfiction and fiction books?
Neither of us read nonfiction, but fiction-wise. Chami is, of course, the Shatter Me trilogy (Didn't see that one coming, did you?) and mine is the Throne of Glass series.

What's your favourite beauty product?
Chami loves her red lipstick, and I...don't ever wear make up.

When were you last embarrassed? What happened?
Since Chami is this super gorgeous, confident, glorious human being, I don't think she ever gets embarrassed ever. I'm sure mine was at something my dad said - he likes to embarrass me.

If you could only drink one beverage (besides water) for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Mine would be tea, no question about it. As for a specific type, either Earl Grey or Pomegranate. Chami has informed me that hers would be Lemon, Lime and Bitters or Chocolate Mountain Malt Milkshake from the Pancake Parlour...which I never would have guessed. #besties
What’s your favourite movie?
This changes all the time for me, but currently it's the first three Terminator films. My dad and I rewatch them every two months or so and they never get old. Also, we just watched the second one last night so it's still fresh in my brain. Chami's is Transformers and she warns you all not to judge her. We both picked action movies so you can tell we're badasses, right?

What were you in high school: Prom queen, nerd, cheerleader, jock, valedictorian, band geek, loner, artist?
We were both cheerleaders, obviously. I'm kidding, we don't exercise. I suppose we're both nerds.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
London, for both of us. We're going to live in a house there together filled with books.    

PC or Mac?
A few months ago I would have said PC but my laptop is shit so Mac now, and Mac for Chami. She says Mac 4everbaby...Yeah, I don't know either.
Last romantic gesture from a boyfriend?
LOL.

Favourite celebrity?
SO MANY. If I just have to choose one, then I'm going to have to go with Benedict Cumberbatch - I'm sure I don't have to explain myself here. Chami's is Nick Bateman. I mean, who's the hotter one there really? Spoiler alert, it's Benedict.


What blogger do you secretly want to be best friends with?  
I always wanted to be friends with Ebony, Chiara and Cait and now I think I am...so yay! Chami's answer for this was me. Isn't she sweet?

We are tagging... (sorry if you've already done this!)

Question: can I visit your house in London filled with books? I WILL BEHAVE AND NOT STEAL THE BOOKS OR ANYTHING. I want to live in a house in Paris with all my books.

You're both just fifty-two buckets of awesome. Except when Chami is killing fish. MAC FOREVER TOO! WAHHOOO. I love my mac and I will never ever ever go back to a PC.

Of course you can, Cait!! PFT, AS IF YOU COULD STEAL ANY BOOKS ANYWAY. Oooh, I'll come visit you too :P

Fifty-two buckets of awesome? Well damn. *cries over stupid PC*
Thanks for the tag! I definitely agree with Benedict being the superior celebrity here. I mean, come on, it's Benedict ;) I actually did this tag a couple weeks ago, but I'll bugger Karolina and see if she wants to do it.

Exactly! No one is better than Benedict.
We should found the Mac Fanclub Of Utter Awesomeness, because, guess what, I'M NEVER GOING BACK TO A PC EITHER. Sure, Macs might be expensive and the genius bar sucks, but everything is just sooooo pretty. I am such a tool, I own almost one of every of their products. Now I'm getting ready for the iWatch... Though I think I will wait for the next version when they have figured out how to remove all the bugs the first watch will have and made it slimmer. God, I need another job to support my lifestyle, or, you know, start charging for reviews and vews ehehehe.

They seem to last way longer than normal PC's anywhere - I've only had my current laptop for 8 months and it's horrible. I hear you on the money front - I need like six jobs to fund all my obsessions.
THANK YOU FOR TAGGING MEEEEEE! I WILL DO THIS THIS WEEK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 2436236 in the QUEUE.

Anyways, I'm going to just come out with it. I'M GOING TO A BASTILLE CONCERT THIS FRIDAY ARE YOU JEALOUS MUHAHAHHAHA. Also, I love Florence and the Machine. They are also my favorite favorite band!

I WANT TO GO TO LONDON TOO. I don't know if I would want to live there though. Seems to rainy (not that that's a difference to where I am now). And look at that doggy! So adorable!

And yes no one likes bitches hahaha! Way to come out with it!

I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU NOW (unless you actually don't know Chami, Ely, because she's been deceiving you this entire time. Ha)
1 reply · active 548 weeks ago
Well, 2436236 is nowhere near enough posts Val. Keep up!

OH MY GOD VAL. DON'T EVEN TALK TO ME.

It's not rainy if you never go outside ;) (and why would you when you've got a house full of books)

I'm terrified. If you take anything from this, it's that you should send me Benedict.
Ooh, stir-frys. I love stir frys! Fun fact (not really): I was supposed to make a stir fry for dinner on Friday for my mums birthday, but my nan took us out for lunch, and we ate so much we couldn't even think of eating anything for dinner, so I bought a pizza at 10pm.

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE. I love Florence so much.

RED LIPSTICK

LONDON LONDON LONDON

BENEDICT. I'm sorry, Chami, but who even is Nick Bateman? Am I supposed to know who he is? I don't know, I feel out of the loop...he's quite attractive though.

AND YES. YAY FOR FRIENDS.

Pizza is a totally reasonable 10pm food :P

Exactly! I actually had to ask her what his name was - I have no idea what he actually does though. SO THANK YOU, thank you for supporting me!

YAAAY!
