10 Day Challenge: Day 2: 9 Loves

#10 secrets // #09 loves // #08 fears // #07 wants // #06 places // #05 foods // #04 books // #03 films // #02 songs // #01 picture of yourself.

Happy Thursday, guys! Here are 9 things I love for your reading pleasure.

9. My Phone. I really didn't expect my beloved iPhone 4s to survive living with me for almost 2 years, but it's still going despite being dropped quite a few times. 

8. Mugs. I have quite a large collection of mugs, for someone who doesn't have a reason to own so many. Band mugs, Doctor Who mugs, Slogan mugs, you name it! I love them. 

7. My Bed. I am lucky enough to have a double bed with a memory foam mattress. It's the best bed in the world, by far.

6. Cats. We have 3 cats in my house, and I refer to them as the Fluffy Bitches. They are lazy as hell but the house would not be the same without them.

5. Ville Valo. The man is my savior in many ways. His words, his music gave me hope and still comforts me to this day. When I heard he had fallen off the wagon and started drinking again I was heartbroken. 

4. Anything Doctor Who Related. Doctor Who is an absolutely amazing show and it has made me so happy, as well as breaking my little heart at times. You never forget your first Doctor. 

3. Chris. He knows this, you know this. The boy is a trooper and I am so lucky and blessed to have a good, fiercely loyal, loving little sod like him in my life. :D

2. Doc Martens. The best shoes I have ever bought, they still look like new after nearly 6 months. Quality.

1. My Childhood Bear, Mr Bear. Also know as "The Fuzz" and "The Legendary Bear", this little guy has been with me since I was 1 day old. He's been lost in Quinnsworth, been stolen by a dog, and he still comes to Dundalk with me when I go. He's been to Stoke Mandeville, Wales, Cork and god knows where else he'll go in my life. 

There you have it, 9 Loves. 

Tomorrow, 8 Fears.

The 10 Day Challenge; Day 1: 10 Secrets

Hey all! So I have decided to do a 10 Day Challenge here, and I'm hoping you will join me on this journey. I spotted this on A Bullet To The Head, the blog of the ever lovely Hannah. I decided to give it a whirl as it look fun and different to the usual stuff I do. So, without further ado, here we go. 

Oh, and just so I don't confuse anyone, I'm going in backwards order, from 10 to 1. 

Here are the daily challenges:

Ten Secrets...

1. I don't believe in holding grudges with people, but I do get very angry and can be mad at someone for days. Once I forgive, I forget about it though. Life is too short to waste your time and energy being mad at someone for a long time.

2. I'm what you might call a total Oxymoron in life. I love socializing and being with my friends but I would just as happily stay in my room alone for days on end and interact with nobody. The same goes for food; I love food, hell I'm studying it in college but I don't eat like everyone else, I eat when I'm hungry and I can push a plate away even when I'm not full. 

3. I cannot sleep in an untidy room. It's one of my less attractive qualities, as I will clean Chris's room for him when I stay over and then he gives out that he can't find anything. I also have been known to stay up all night and clean my room. It's a sickness!

4. Charity shops are one of my ultimate weaknesses. I love rummaging through secondhand and charity shops for bargains. Most of the time I just buy books, but I have a few tops and jeans that I get compliments on all the time, which have been pre-loved. 

5. I'm a worrier over the stupidest of things, yet when it comes to important things like my driving test, college exams and stuff of that nature, I don't know how to worry. I prepare to the best of my ability and then let the rest happen naturally. 

6. When people ask me what my favorite movie is, I just say the first thing that pops into my head and it generally isn't my favorite because I find it so hard to pick just one. Dirty Dancing, Mean Girls, Resident Evil, The Social Network, Bridesmaids, Hedwig and The Angry Inch, all the Harry Potters, the old Clash of The Titans, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Nowhere Boy, 28 Days Later, Brokeback Mountain, The Boat That Rocked, they're all up there. My go-to answer is usually the LOTR Trilogy though, because of my LOTR tattoo.

7. If I could, I'd have two full sleeves and my chest tattooed, my tongue and lip pierced, and my ears stretched. That would make me so happy! 

8. I alphabetize all my DVD's out of some effed up need to be totally anal all the time! I did try to do it with my books but I couldn't. It wasn't the same.

9. My favorite way to escape is by heading to a cafe, with a book and just drinking tea for hours on end while I read. 

10. Once there's a good beat, I'll dance away like there's no tomorrow. It doesn't matter if its cheesy 80's pop or something from the charts, I'll go for it, hell for leather!

So there are my 10 "Secrets". 
Tomorrow, I'll be sharing 9 Things I Love.
