50 Random Facts About Me

Hello dear loves, I was just in Rome for a few days, and I will tell you all about it in the next post "When In Rome" with a haul and all, but I need a little break. So here are 50 random facts about me. Now that I think about it it's going to be realllly hard to gather 50 mildly interesting facts about me. Oh jeez. Let's start.

1. I don't drink coffee. I know this is something that many people don't do, but the actual fact is that I never drink coffee, but I always steal the foam from the people I sit with. So if there's a person (not just anybody, this is for special people only ;)) with whom I feel comfortable (and I will always ask first), I will take a table spoon of  the coffee tasting foam at the top with brown sugar on it. I'm weird like that.

2. I learned sign language in lower school. 2nd to 6th grade actually.

3. In sixth grade, thanks to my lovely skills (that have been long forgotten since) in sign language (wish I'd remembered more) I tutored a deaf girl, or rather a hard of hearing girl that went to my school.

4. I've been learning to play guitar for the past almost eight and a half years.

5. I am terrible at it, but I love playing, and I love my teacher who's almost like a grandfather to me.

6. I never got to meet any of my real grandparents, but that's alright. I love them nevertheless.

7. My last dog's name is Joy, which is my middle name, and my grandma's name.... Yea...

8. I have a problem with people around me wearing the same scent as I am. That's the reason I stopped wearing DKNY Be Delicious, even though it smells delicious.

9. My favorite movie ever, for some reason, is the Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. I love the editing, the story, their costumes, the entire movie.

10. This is getting really hard to find more facts haha. I have a real problem with eating things with odd textures.

11. That's the reason of which I don't eat sea food. It tastes alright, but the texture of it kills me. I want to gag every time I try to eat it.

12. I don't like chocolate. The reason for that being me being an odd child, but not just some regular odd child, oh no. In second grade I switched schools, and decided I need to have something special about me so that I would stick out. I decided I'm going to tell everyone that I don't like chocolate. In the process of lying to everybody, I actually stopped eating chocolate, and managed to convince myself that I don't like it. Up to this day, every time people make me taste chocolate once more, I want to gag, because I've told myself hard enough that I don't like it. Wish it would have worked out the same with guys.

13. That being said, I love seeing anything made with chocolate, I love the look of food really. If you ever checked out my Tumblr (do it ;) you know you want to ;)), you would know the entire page is covered with pictures of food.

14. I have been called a hipster so many times by now. I take it as a compliment although I don't view myself as one. I do have my oddities, love indie music that's not exactly popular, eat good homemade organic food (because my mom's a genius), and dress differently to other people, but I don't give a crap what people might think about me or what they label me as. I am just me.

15. I love depressing sad songs. My friends think it's weird. People think that makes me depressed or whatever, but it's just that sad songs seem to get me. They hit the right notes, and they are mellow and soothing. They just make me feel better about myself, which is nothing bad... It's actually great.

16. My biggest dreams are to change the world, and to travel to the Bermuda Triangle, and solve its mystery.

17. I don't like sweets too much, but I can eat a bag of chips or pretzels in a second.

18. I used to be addicted to The Sims, any expansion, 1,2, and 3, but I never really liked playing with them living too much. I liked building their house more than anything. When playing, I would have them sped up to the maximum..

19. My goal is to get over my fears, and I have a ton: stage fright, fear of heights, fear of exposing emotions....

20. One of the fears I'm dying to get over is to buy me a pair of Jeffery Campbell Litas, and to stop being ashamed of my height so much. If I like a pair of shoes so much, I shouldn't be stopped by the fact that I'm tall. Stopped by the price? That's a more reasonable question.

21. My sister and I, when we were much more little, and way less heavy, used to dance on the coffee table in the living room to the sounds of Britney Spear's songs.

22. I would also play Tekken with my beloved brother and his friends.

23. As a child I wouldn't like wearing much clothes and was probably naked for the vast majority of my childhood.

24. I still hate wearing shoes and love to take them off as soon as possible.

25. I don't like being connected to my phone. I rarely answer calls, and not because I'm a mean friend, but just because I hate depending on it, so it's either forgotten at home, or uncharged for most of the time.

26. My dad's nickname for me is Uzzu Buzzu ever since I was a little pimple....

27. In the end of learning how to read we each got a book that was printed with our names in it as the main character, and by total coincidence there was a magic word in there.... It was Uzzu Buzzu. Yea my dad predicts the future.

28. I sleep as hard as a log of wood, but, for the strangest reason ever, I wake up from things that I know need to wake me up. For example, the loudest thunder storm, or my sister walking into my room to take a sweater would never wake me up, but my alarm clock or a guy coming in with a fresh Sharpie in order to paint on my face to be funny will wake me up in seconds.

29. I don't take time to wake up. I just hear my alarm, and sit straight up. I don't roll over in bed, and I sure as hell don't press snooze. Wake up at 08:07 for all I care, but pressing the snooze just makes those seven minutes a living hell. Set the alarm to 08:07 for crying out loud.

30. If I could learn all the languages in the world I would. I find them all fascinating.

31. I would love to have a scratch off map of the world, so that I can scratch off all the places I've been to, and gratefully so, I have been to a lot of places.

32. I'm a  lefty! Yay us.

33. I am more alert when I sleep less at night, but I love sleeping so goodbye alertness.

34. I love romance novals like "Daddy Long Legs", "Pride And Prejudice", and "Jane Eyre".

35. I am a major bookworm. I love that magical IMAGINATION (SpongeBob tone intended) space and time that reading creates.

36. In 7th grade my math teacher told us never to divide by zero or the world would explode, a kid in my class said "I shall divide by 0", and a painting fell off the wall. True story.

37. I am a supertaster, which means that my tasting sense is fiercely strong. I have a lot of taste buds apparently.

38. I have also a very developed sense of smell, I can distinguish what someone's cooking, or put in a dish just by smelling it. Weird.. yea..

39. Pixie lights or Christmas lights make my world go round. Actually candles, too. And stars. Anything that looks like a small light resource is charming to me.

40. My favorite thing about nature is the night sky.

41. Some people think I'm a heartless bitch just because I am painfully shy. I swear I am one of the most accepting people I know.

42. I was obsessed with Argentinian Soap Opera's. All Chris Morana stuff are a huge part of my childhood (Rebeldeway, Chiquititas, Floricienta). If you don't know what I'm talking about you better expand your horizons, because everything I don't know about love I learned from there.

43. I've been on a cooking kick lately. I just enjoy the kitchen. That never happens.

44. My chin is uneven. People don't notice it, because it's not really visible, but when you feel it the bone is uneven.

45. My colar bone is uneven (also not visible), because of a Lacrosse accident, when a ball came at me when I wasn't looking during practice.

46. I hate reality shows. I don't judge people who see them, but the only ones I've ever been capable of watching are ANTM and Project Runway.

47. I love clothes, but it seems like every time I go in to buy clothes my attention is diverted into the jewelry section.

48. I had a stuffed dog that I named Pee. As in I have to pee, Pee. What the hell's wrong with me?!

49. I don't have nightmares really. My dreams are the creepiest, but they don't scare me. I just think they're really weird while dreaming them, and when I wake up I realize how freaky they were.

50. I am not familiar with 4 am and 5 am. These are hours I never get the chance to see in real life. I don't  wake up early enough or fall asleep late enough to. For all I know they are complete fiction.

That was all sweethearts. I will get back on track soon. Sorry I didn't do February Favorites, but I will do March Favorites when the month's gone, and make up for lost time. <3
Here's a song I've been loving :)
XOXO Roni J.

99 Random Questions Tag

Hello girls. 
So very sorry for my long long absence. So many things have happened this week that I really... I really had to have a little break. For instance, I almost went on a date with a completely new guy that I know from a few years back and is two years older to a movie, when my sister-like friend told me he's a player, and when I said "hey it's been nice to talk to you, but I'm not really interested" his answer proved her right.

Those Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Hello there girls. How are we? Hope that well enough to read a little about my October favorites. Happy elected president to all the Americans in the crowd, by the way. And happy Friday, as well. There's just something about Fridays. The sun shines differently. If you look closely, you can definitely deter the difference between a Friday sunshine and an everyday sunshine. Even through the storming skies. The smell of the air is different. The air itself is lighter, and each house you pass by gives its own cooking scent. Sometimes you smell beef stew, sometimes you smell chicken noodle soup. I love Fridays.
I know that I am late again with this, but we all know it had to come sometime soon. My October favorites are here. This month has been quite constant with a lot of products, but very different to the past months. There are also many random favorites so keep reading :).

Fashion:

1) My ear cuffs. My pack of three ear cuffs. One in gold, one in silver and one in rose gold that I bought together in River Island in the very beginning of October while on the delegation. I have literally been wearing them every single day since. Sine there are three shades it's really just a blast to match one to every outfit, although, I must admit, I have worn the silver one the most. I wanted to get my helix pierced in the past, but I am quite against piercings and tattoos (on myself that is, on other people I even tend to like it), and have heard a thousand horror stories about getting it pierced that I decided I better just go for a fake one. Plus I like that they're wider that the piercing itself better than the width of the average piercing. 

2) Hats. Yes, hats. I love beanies like a mustardy yellow one from Forever 21 I bought approximately 5 years or 4 years ago. I also love bowler and wool hats like one I've seen in Zara, which costs quite a lot for me, because I am not a working person who's still dependent on her parents a little too much to waste money on things like that, but I have one just like it in gray without all the embellishments. They are such a cute wintery addition to any fall winter outfit. I do find that this picture makes it look a little brighter than it is in real life just so you know. 
3) Maxi skirts. Me and my sister (who's finally back, by the way, don't know if I mentioned this at all) have gotten really into them. I have one that's burnt red from Weekdays, one that's olive green from River Island, and a black one from Forever 21. They are seriously the most flattering thing I have worn in my life. 

Beauty: 
1) Star of Bombay nail polish by Orly. Oh, how I love me some dark winter nail polishes. This one is the perfect one for fall, because it looks black unless you're in the light, in which it gets the bluish purplish tinge. I wore it so so much this month, and I am not one to wear one color constantly at all.

2) L'Oreal Elvive Re-Nutrition conditioner. A bit of an odd one, but it is seriously the most softening conditioner I have ever used. With my hair being dyed and all, which I will be removing soon, because I have a pet peeve with split ends. Split ends make me OCD. My hair naturally is really freaking healthy, because I never straighten, curl, or use products on it besides shampoo and conditioner, and I cannot stand its current state. Yet, somehow it remains soft thanks to this savior of a conditioner. I really love it. I've gone through five or six bottles of it already, because it's a constant favorite two years now. 

3) Toni Gard for women eau de perfum. It is a sweet, sophisticated, but not old scent. It's actually my sister's, but I stole it, because that's what little sisters do. I have gotten so many compliments on it when I wore it that I decided "hmm.. Me gusta!".
Random:
1) Corny love songs. I was, unlike me at all, in a loving mood this month, and got butterflies, and was like the average teenage girl this month. For examples: When I Look To The Sky by Train, For You I Will by Teddy Geiger, Begin Again by Taylor Swift, and Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg.

2) Revenge the T.V. show. Me and my sister started making it our little thing to watch the first season together. We started watching it because the lead has actually played in Brothers And Sisters, which is another show we loved. We are on episode 4 or 5 of the first season, and it is twisted, and I love the revealing the past. It is displaying everything that's bad about us humans: greedy, grudge holders that are incapable of forgiving others. I love it. The acting is actually quite good, as well. I actually really like the tattoo she has of forever and always or something like that with the two infinity signs.

3) Looper the movie. I know many people say it's crapy, but I absolutely loved it. Me and my friend went to watch it this month and it was so confusing. It's about time traveling and all crazy things like that. It's abso-freaking-lutely incredible. It's surprising, and crazy, and sad, and wonderful. Loved it so much.

4) Fishbowl Racer!! My favorite iPhone app game of all times. It's the most mind numbing probably, as well. It's one of those games that make you stupid. You need to make the bowl jump, and the fish jump, and it's just freaking awesome. Don't try it if you want to have social life, because this shenanigans is addictive.

5) Red, Taylor Swift's album and particularly the song Last Time, which is a collaboration with Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol, which I love on its own, but it is so charming, and sad, and you can feel raw emotions in it. I just adore it, and have played it over and over so many times.


Hope we have a lovely November. Love you all. XOXO Roni J.

Keeping Promises

Hello girls.
Was there ever a promise you didn't keep? Something you really wanted to stand by, but when the time came, you decided it's time to sit down. Something that when you look back ,you wish you would have, or wouldn't have done. Something you promised you wouldn't say, but the time called for it, so you went with it, said it, it poured out of your mouth and when it was out, there was just no way of getting those words back; back to where they came from, back to where they truly belong. Something that would be a good idea for you, a healthier decision for you to keep. Why don't we keep those?
Is it society that's making it seem like so hard, like too much of an effort to keep up with our promises? Is it society that makes it sound like temptation is good for us and that everything tempting is worth the risk? Is it us that we're so terrified of commitment? Is it people around us that doubt our abilities? Why?
Have you wondered about it later? Why it is that we want something so bad that we promise it to ourselves, maybe even vow, but there comes a day for some strange reason that we break that promise? We waste so much time making promises, so little time thinking about breaking them, and so much more time breaking them. Why do we make them then?
Obviously, I am also human. I make promises that I fail to keep all the time, but what drives me crazy is people who don't even make an effort at keeping them. Throwing away promises for them is like tossing an old juice box to the trash can.
Don't get me wrong. I think making promises is a good thing. It's even important. I think keeping those promises and making them come to life is even more important. It's rewarding. It shows an effort. It shows you care. I think they have a big weight to them and that they shouldn't just be dispersed in the air or tossed like they were some Frisbee.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you need, we all need to give more thought before making promises to other people, to God, to ourselves, to other objects you might find lying around in the room for all I care, and more thought into breaking them. They were meant to be kept.
I don't know why I spoke about this subject necessarily. That's so random. Ok. Whatever came out I'm fine with. 
 So this is an outfit I wore a WHILE ago, but haven't yet posted.
I wore this tank top I love from Urban Outfitters. It's a really nice turquoise color and it has lace stripes in different widths all over it. My style isn't so girly that I feel right in everything that has lace on it, but this is just the right amount, and it's black lace rather than white or pink, so it's suits me much better.
I also wore my boutique bought Chinos in the same kind of turquoise, except a few shades lighter. I think that with the black lace it created this nice dimension to the outfit, but that might just be me.
For jewelery I decided to go with my colorful Michal Negrin earrings and the necklace that is very similar the the earrings except in different colors, also from Michal Negrin. If you hadn't noticed my love for her jewelery by now, than you haven't been around for long, probably. Her website was linked a few posts ago but here it is in case you missed out on it.
The shoes I wore are my beloved suede loafers from Urban Outfitters by the brand Minnetonka.
Other than that the rings are the usual rings, and stuff.
Please leave a comment down below and subscribe to this blog. XOXO Roni J.
This is Charlie Simpson. Now this guy is amazing. He's a British folk artist, and his songs are just so touching and the lyrics so inspiring, and his voice and the guitar just so so soothing. Hope you enjoy him. He's BY FAR one of my favorite artists and his songs can make me cry in a snap. Love him.

Back On Track

Or at the very least I hope so; at least for the time being. I just had a chemistry AP. Don't judge me, please. It went fairly alright. Not the best test I've had, but I got the results for my math AP, and I got 95, so that cheered me up :D. Oh the small things that make me happy. Like the humongous moon that appeared two days ago.
If you don't yet know this, or if I haven't blabbered about this subject enough in the past, my favorite thing, or rather things, about nature are the stars, the moon and the sun. I especially love the clear night skies. I don't have any idea why, but it calms me down. I will not force my belief upon anybody, but the truth is that it makes me feel like no matter what anybody says, there's something much bigger than us that's moving us and that directs us. Whether you're an astrologist, astronomer, christian, muslim, bahai, jew, whatever you choose to be, I'm really not about to name all the religions this world has to offer because there are more beliefs than people, I've found, the universe holds some crazy secrets that whomever or whatever is responsible for their creation is greatly admired by me. I mean some people think that it makes you see how small you really are, which is frightening, but to me it doesn't as though I'm so small, as much as it feels like there are literally worlds more to discover.
Some people are afraid of all the ways the universe can harm us. Us people, we harm ourselves more than the universe harms us, quite frankly. To be honest, I'd rather be killed by an asteroid than to be killed by a human, which seems to be rather likely these days.
Anyways this is just pointless blabber. The real thing I was going to talk about is my tiny disappointment. There was a race in town today and my dad and I were supposed to go, but he had a meeting scheduled last minute and therefore we didn't go. I really wish to be back on track with my physical activity, as well, but everything I try kind of fails miserably. I'll find something to do next school year I guess.
So here's the haul I've been promising for absolutely ages. Sorry for that.
 This first top is from a local boutique. Yes, again, I'm so sorry. It's a paisley print made out of really nice and flowy from a silk-like material. It has a zipper detailing on the pocket, which is simply what sold it for me. Easy to sell me stuff you're thinking? You're pretty darn right. A day beforehand I told myself there's no way I'll be seen wearing something paisley. Liar liar pants on fire, you'd be seen in almost any piece of clothing if given the chance. 
The next piece is a bikini top that I bought, yet again in a local store. I love it because of the tribal-like pattern and the bright colors without being neon pink all over which is really not my style if you ever wondered. Obviously as mentioned above, if I see something neon pink that I like, I will wear it, because I buy more than I talk. I'm kidding. I really don't.
The next two tops are both sleeveless button downs, as I've said I love in my favorites. Both are sheer, on the peachier tone of things, both from H&M and both are loved by me very much. The first one is a silky material on front with a cute floral print that's back is a chiffon sheer fabric.
The other one is just a sheer over all high-low shirt that I would love to wear to the beach with a bikini top underneath or with a cool bandeau underneath, or even a nice tank top that suits it. I was hoping to also get H&M's tribal printed sunglasses but they didn't have them in store which killed it for me and I still want to find them.
Anyways darlings, I hope we all have a good rest of the week and weekend, and that we go through the exams like we were butterflies in a field of flowers. Leave comments down below for suggestions, questions, or random things you want to say! XOXO Roni J.
  I have no idea why, but I got addicted to this song today, so I hope you enjoy it. It has no symbolic meaning for the text above like I usually do.

Gone With The Math Wind

As the title claims, I am here for now. The next few weeks until the very end of the school year are going to be a hurricane, so please don't be disappointed if there's a week with only one post coming up or even less, and especially not the more decorated put together posts, because I have so many tests that my mind's burning up.
This week I have chem test and two math tests that I really am trying not to be too stressed about, because frankly that's what screws me up and makes me fail miserably (not that I actually fail, but I've been getting bad scores because of stressing myself out), so, you girls, wish me luck, please!
How have you been? To my sad impression you don't really like leaving comments which I would love to get. Don't worry about being good at English or whatever, because that, honestly, doesn't matter to me at all.
I am taking pictures of outfit of the days all the time for you, though not really able to take the time and do a real post to my awful dismay.
Other than that things haven't really changed, gone wrong, or gone fabulous. I don't have any boy drama, thank whatever higher force you believe in if you do. School is a little stressful, but I mean it could be because I just had a really long spring break, and I'm just not used to working my bum off. Yet. My family is great actually. Dad decided to stop smoking, which in my opinion is a great thing that will be healthy for us as a family and individually, and especially good for him. I am very proud of that life choice he has taken. My friends and I all made up (the ones I had fights with), and I really am just happy with my place in the food chain right now. I feel almost like a T-Rex, a super omnivore. I am honestly trying my best at not letting things get to me.
I am optimistic, very, which is a good thing for me to be at this point. I mean usually towards the end of the school year I am powerless, but this year I'm charging up to go at it full force.
Now here are three outfits from these past not so few days:
The first outfit was worn on an extremely humid day, and therefore I didn't wear any jewelery, but I did go to see 21 Jump Street, which was HILARIOUS, so try to go out and see it. An added plus is that Channing Tatum is extremely attractive, and I'm shallow like that. Hence the sweater in case I get cold in the theater, and I always get cold in the theater. The cardigan is from Zara and it has been featured more time than the dear beloved queen waves her hand in one day. The T-shirt is just an old T-shirt of my sister's that has a yellow cab on it and, I really like it. The shoes I was wearing are my Aldo black sandals that cannot be replaced in my heart, as far as my eyes have seen up until now.

This next outfit was worn on a day home when I didn't feel like putting too much effort into. I wore my mom's mint tank top with lace trimming at the neck that I steal all the time. Again I didn't wear any jewelery just because I was really lazy and was just solving math tests for nobody to hear or see. The shorts are from last summer's Urban Outfitter's collection. They're dotted all over, high waisted and have scalloped edges. The little short-sleeved cardigan is from Topshop, and I don't love it, but still I needed color. I didn't really wear shoes, because my feet love their freedom when possible.


The last outfit for today is an outfit I wore to school, and it has an autumn-ish vibe to it, but really it felt a lot like a fall day that day. I centered it around the necklace that I bought in a local boutique (for more information about the boutiques I shop at send me a comment so that I can answer you later more privately). I wore a plain gray T-shirt from Old Navy, which I always buy my basic T's from, with some high waisted denim shorts, again from a local store. Under the shorts I wore black tights and I paired them up with my shoes from Urban Outfitters that I saw Ivy from 90210 wearing in the last episode I think that came out, or the one before, and got really stupidly fan girly excited about it. That girl is a style icon for me, although I would never be able to imitate her. Other than that I wore all my regular rings and my lucky bracelet my dad bought me.
Anyways I really am desperate for your replies and thoughts and so on so please comment. Remember that "wherever I go, each moment away, I'm missing you more than I can say" as the lovely Karima Francis says in her addictive song "Wherever I Go". Have an awesome week! XOXO Roni J.

Get Your Freak On Tag

Hey there girls! I thought that I might just roll with the boredom of the moment and do a tag so that you get to know me a little better, and since I am a freak, I decided I should do this tag.  If you want to link your own in the comments below, or simply answer the questions!
Question number one, WOOP WOOP: What is a nickname only your family calls you?
This is simply the oddest thing and it has nothing to do with my name, but my dad calls me Uzu Buzu. Has nothing to do with life, I know, but whatever. I love it, cause it simply reminds me of home :).
2. What's a weird habit of yours?
I probably have a ton of weird habits. The one I can think of right now is my dirty jokes. You probably would have no idea, but I always comment dirty things and make dirty jokes, and it's really not because I have a dirty mind, but just kind of a reflex. If anyone says anything that sounds a little dirty I'd be the first to comment about it, and it's so weird, because I am really quite innocent, so I have no idea what the fire truck is wrong with me.
3. Do you have any weird phobias?
Yes, of course I do. I am weird hence I must have weird phobias don't I? My biggest fear is public transportation. I always get stressed out on buses and trains and get lost and such so.... Yup.
4. What's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone?
Haha, well, this is embarrassing. I have a list of stupid girl fan type of songs that I love even though they're stupid, and really not believable and one of them is Unfriend You by Greyson Chance. Now don't laugh at me and don't leave the blog just because of this even if this really demands that somebody smacks me across the face.
5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?
Well looks-wise I hate it when guys have long hair. I don't know why, but it simply bothers me, and it is simply the biggest turnoff when talking about looks. Sorry if this offends anybody, it's just my personal opinion. Personality-wise I hate people that aren't grateful for what they have, and a thing that shows this really obviously is that I am really bothered by people saying that they need something that's very superficial rather than saying that they want it. It just ticks me off, no, you do not NEED a new lipstick, no, you do not NEED a nail polish just because it's different to everything you've ever seen before. You WANT it. There's a HUMONGOUS difference.
6. What's one of your nervous habits?
My nervous habits are either playing with a necklace I have on if I have a necklace on, or cracking my knuckles, which is disgusting and really unhealthy so I'm trying to break this off.
7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
I have a queen size bed so it's either middle or floor :D.
8. What was your first stuffed animal?
I think my first stuffed animal is a Dalmatian that I called peepee. I know. I'm odd.
9. What's the drink you always order at Starbucks?
We don't really have a Starbucks here, but when I used to live in a place where they had Starbucks I would always order the Chai Tea Latte. Since I don't like coffee or anything with chocolate, it's the perfect choice.
10. What's the beauty rule you preech, but never practice?
Well, I think you should tell me :D.
11. Which way do you face in the shower?
Do I face a certain way in the shower? Does anyone?
12. Do you have any weird body skills?
I can touch my tounge to my nose, and my thumb to my wrist, put my leg over and behind my head, I can point with my toe, and that's basically it. Are you creeped out enough?
13. What's your favorite comfort food?
My favorite comfort food is any food really. I just enjoy stuffing my face with anything, not sweets, though, when I am upset or in the need of comforting.
14. What's a word or exclamation you always say?
I switch my weird expressions every once in a while. I say different weird things every few weeks I guess. I can't really think of one right now.
15. Time to go to bed what are you actually wearing?
I usually wear to bed a pair of Pj bottoms, usually my zebra print ones (FREEAK), and a random oversized comfortable shirt that I find in any of the closets at home.

Hope you enjoyed this :) Now in order to make up for my fangirl mistake up there, I will post another song I have been loving lately by The Script called "If You Ever Come Back".
Hope you did follow the earth hour instructions, because this is so important to take care of our planet you have no idea.
