The lovely Michaela from The Bellus Lupus has nominated me for a Liebster award - how exciting! It involves me giving eleven facts about myself, answering eleven questions and then nominating eleven other people to do the same. So, here goes...
FACTS
- I've never been on an aeroplane, or anywhere near an airport.
- I prefer gold jewellery over silver/white gold.
- I'm fleetingly obsessive, so I have to be careful how much money etc I invest in a new hobby in case I am no longer enamoured with it the following month.
- However, my love for stationery and organisation has gone on, and on, and on, and on...
- ...aside from lever arch files. I hate lever arch files with a cold, undying passion.
- I've forever associated racing green (the colour, that is) with academic study; I've no idea why.
- My favourite television programmes are Midsomer Murders and Agatha Christie's Poirot (which are incredibly mild when you've just watched an episode of Criminal Minds).
- I used to want to be a barrister, and then a forensic psychologist - now I'm hoping to pursue a career in academia, either related to Biblical Studies or Church History.
- I recognise that I'm incredibly fortunate to (hopefully) study something which I absolutely love at university - reading academic books is something I do for fun. Regularly.
- I own two copies of some of the books I've studied at school - one neat one, and one full of annotations.
- I recently purchased a 53" plush teddy bear. Not entirely sure why. I'm eighteen in less than a fortnight. It's only a few inches shorter than me. Named Sebastian.
ANSWERS
Why did you start blogging?
I can't say I'm entirely sure. It probably boils down to the fact that I like talking about things I enjoy, and I suppose this is a far better outlet for that than talking at my friends/family/anyone who'll listen!
Where did your blog name come from?
It's something I did with my friend, Katie. We are both massive tea drinkers (not in the pretentious way, I do not see myself as superior for preferring one particular beverage over another at all), so Hanntea and Katea came about. Hers works better.
What's your favourite of your own posts?
I do like my revision posts, the most recent of which is here.
How did you find new blogs to follow?
I use Bloglovin's recommended, along with a general perusal of the internet.
Would you ever stop following a blog and why?
If I no longer enjoyed the content, or if an opinion which I found abhorrent was expressed, then I would stop following a blog. I doubt that'll happen regularly, if at all, though!
What are your thoughts on commenting on other people's blog posts?
It's a great way to get to know other bloggers in the community - it's something I really ought to do more of myself!
Name one author whose books you will always read.
Oh my goodness. I really don't read much modern fiction, and saying "Agatha Christie" or "Shakespeare" may sound a bit ridiculous, but there we have it.
Eyes, lips or face? If you had to choose one make up item to wear all day what would it be?
Face by a long shot! Although if I could only wear one makeup item it'd be eyebrow pencil. Which is more face than eyes, right?
What do you look forward to most all year?
Going back to school! I love having a fresh slate (new stationery!) in terms of deadlines and what I'm learning. Also it's in the autumn and I am not at all a summer person!
Who is your favourite designer?
Cath Kidston! I'm basically a walking advert for her bags and accessories.
How do you pick your outfits?
A combination of checking the weather and pulling things out of the wardrobe which look vaguely like they go together! I'm afraid I don't spend much time on this, instead my primary focus when getting ready in the morning is my hair & make up.
PICK PEOPLE!
Ah, this is where it becomes tricky. I cannot think for the life of me who to nominate! What I'll do is find people and nominate-as-I-go - I'll get to eleven as soon as I can (and then publish questions, of course).
Thanks again, Michaela, for nominating me!
