Eight Difficult Questions

Ellen from the Raven and the Cellar Door has tagged me to answer these eight questions...

1. What never fails to cheer you up?

Harry Potter, always ensues instant joy and happiness! Sometimes we just need pure escapism...and also deers, they're so dear! and puns and alliterations actually!

2. If you could live one day of your life over again what would it be?

Probably any day at all from the time before I was in year twelve, the most horrifically stressful of years!

3. What do you like best about yourself?

As much as I don't like having red hair at times, and don't like the ridiculously sensitive skin that goes along with it, I am often glad to have red hair because it makes me a little different. I think we humans always like to think ourselves a little bit special, individual, even if we're much like everyone else. I also think that I think an awful lot about an awful lot of things...this too can be a negative, but at the same I wouldn't part with the quality.

4. What would you change about yourself?

Everything, and yet probably not very much if that makes a scrap of sense. I would like to be less reserved, and I can be quite reserved at times...I suppose I'd like to be more charismatic really, and wittier and cleverer. After all, "wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure".

5. What have you enjoyed most about blogging?

The reason I began blogging is from a love of beauty, so being able to express or share whatever I see in my path that is beautiful or intriguing, as well as expressing a little of myself, has been a rewarding, and aesthetically rewarding experience.

6. Who or what is your ultimate source of inspiration?

All beauty everywhere to be particular, I can't say anything much in particular is the ultimate source of inspiration! Lately though, I've been inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites (especially Rossetti), John Keats, the glorious display of architecture and landscape that can be glimpsed in Le Tour De France coverage, and Hamlet (which I am studying at the moment).

7. If you could be anywhere in the world where would you be?

Perhaps amongst rolling hills, and ruined castles in green green Ireland. Anywhere in Europe would suffice though!

8. Who would you invite to your ideal dinner party?

Oscar Wilde, Oscar Wilde, Oscar Wilde, J.K. Rowling, Alfred Hitchcock, Marie Antoinette, John Keats, Robin Hood, Grace Kelly, and Friedrich Nietzsche (even though he would probably be a bit of a downer)...I could add more but it would be a very large inner party!

And now, I must tag eight bloggers to answer these questions! They are under no obligation to answer these questions, but, in case they are so inclined; I choose the authors of;
