Love Hate | Blogger Nominations Tag Post

Hi, guys!

I've been nominated to list all my likes and dislikes for the blogger nominations by the lovely Emily Walker, who is one of my new favorite bloggers and you should definitely take some time to head over to page! 

The aim of the love/hate challenge is to simply state ten things you love and ten things you hate, then tag ten other bloggers to do the same. It was basically an ingenious idea for bloggers and writers to get to know each other a bit better and build up the community a little bit more.

Unfortunately, the person who tagged me in this has also tagged nine of my other favorite bloggers, so I am just going to tag Meaghan and Georgina. 

And on that note, let's get started!

Likes

1. Sleeping and Pajama Days- Yes, those who know me well will know that no matter what time of day it is, as soon as I am home, I am in my pajamas! Honestly? I think I own about twenty pairs of pjs. 

2. Illustrating- I'm hopeless at realistic drawings, so I've recently tried illustrations and inventing my own little characters. I've also based them on people and animals I know, all in this really cute little sketch book from Ikea.

3. Gaming- Obviously I've had zero time to do this lately because I have no life anymore. It also may come as a bit of a surprise to you! I love going on my PS3 when I have time. I'm not going to be cliche and call myself a 'gamer girl' because that's just stupid, but I will say that when I have time I do love a good game of Far Cry or Assassin's Creed III. One game I have always wanted to go on though, is Alice: Return to Madness.

4. Spending time with Tom- This is going to be something that's even more precious now, as my new course is actually really demanding and I will be up to my neck with assignments, plus going to a placement every week! But I am really looking forward to visiting him, going out in Derby and having relaxing days in. Especially when my work contract finishes! 

5. Winter- This season makes me so happy as it's just so jolly and everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Plus, my birthday is in December too. It means I have an excuse to wear my pyjamas all day and drink gingerbread latte's! Also, the weather makes me feel a lot more happy than summer weather, which is unusual.

6. Ice cream- The one love of my life, as long as it has a really dessert-y flavour like cookies and cream, or phish food. I could easily live off it, but then I would get fat. I don't want to be fat.

7. Reading- I've always loved reading ever since I was a little girl. Over the last few years I've never really had/made time to read over the past few years, but it's so relaxing to do now after a stressful day at college, and if I don't have any assignments to do!


8. Baking and cake decorating- Sadly I am not trusted by anyone in the kitchen department because of previous experiences with naan breads and blown up microwaves (more on that another time). But, I love baking whenever mum and I do it. The idea of cake decorating with fondant and sparkles really excites me too! Hopefully soon I will regain trust when it comes to cooking and baking, and be making some amazing cakes.

9. Stationery- I'm sure you probably think I am barking mad by reading that. But in case you have been living in a cave in the deep pits of hell over the last year or so, you probably won't have noticed the sudden design change in stationery. There are so many gorgeous designs and ideas, like floral desk planners and hand stitched journals. All of it just makes me want to get my life together so much more!

10. Energy drinks- Oh my goodness me, don't even get me started. A word of advice kids, please never try one of these things, you will become like me...a total caffeine monster. You will crave them and yearn for them. Personally, Relentless was my favourite but since I started at work and they only stocked Monster...well I've kind of grown a taste for it. And I love it. Not that I should be drinking it anyway...

Dislikes

Is it bad that this was soooooo much easier for me to write than the 'likes' section?

1. Tea- Shock! Horror! I am British and I hate tea. I don't know why, I just don't like the taste. 

2. Bullies- I cannot tolerate bullying, but the sad thing is I make out I can handle it, when sometimes a nasty comment can completely crush me. Plus, if anyone ever bullied one of my friends they would be dead.

3. In-your-face girls- You know the ones I mean! All shouty, 'Oh my god I'm not EVEN joking I was so scared seriously' kind of girls. The ones who just love to draw a bit of attention to themselves. It also bugs me when they dumb themselves down and people actually believe they're that stupid. 

4. When people sing 'happy birthday' to me- I never quite know how to respond, it's one of those really awkward situations. My main thought when this happens to me is 'I just want to eat my cake and go to bed, please stop this unnecessary clapping and singing'. Plus, I hate all the attention. 

5. Bad organisation- I know I'm late and sometimes forget things, but when people forget pre-arranged plans we've been over 2904230948 times, I get annoyed. I get so angry with myself if I ever miss a deadline or I'm late to something, too.

6. Mashed potato- Bleugh it makes me heave, I don't understand when people say they could eat a whole bowl of it

7. Bad eyeliner- It bugs me when people say their 'eyeliner game is going strong' but really it looks like a child has done finger painting on their eyelid. I also can't stand it if my own eyeliner looks crap and I have no time to re-do it. 

8. Cocky vegans- It bugs me when you meet someone and the way they choose to introduce themselves is by saying they're vegan...like really shoving it down your throat. Great. Fantastic. Us carnivores don't greet you by saying 'Hi I'm x and I like bacon and drink milk', do we? I'm not saying it's all vegans, but there are a few. 

Also, when they think the opinion of a carnivore on animal cruelty is invalid. Eating meat isn't cruel if the animal is killed ethically. I eat meat because it tastes nice, not so I can get a kick from the thought of an animal being punched and neglected. Who does that?

9. The R-slur- Hand on heart, I will admit i have used the disgusting word 'retard' when I was young and had no concept on what it was actually referring too. Now, I hate it as well as many other similar words such as 'mong' or 'spaz'. If you want to find out why, read my post on why these words should be eradicated from your vocab here .

10. Snakes and birds- I kind of blended this in to one because I'm only allowed ten dislikes and I have so many! Snakes and birds are a mini phobia of mine, especially snakes. I just cannot stand them, they terrify me and I seriously do not know why!

I hope you guys have enjoyed this post, and sorry it has been so long since I gave you all something to read! I will be trying my absolute best to give you all updates and arty stuff as well as other things!

Enjoy your Autumn! x
