    2. How do you take care of yourself?
    Pretty badly, most of the time.

    4. What do you do for fun?
    Wander the streets with a camera, looking for cats. Or visit the Cat Protection Society.

    Social situations of any kind. I’m just not good at them.

    Train, but only when she’s affectionate.

    thought I’d be getting married so soon.

    Home.

    9. Today is a (rate from 1 – 10).
    4.

    10. Finish this sentence: If you knew me really well you’d know

    1. When do you feel happiest?
    When I’m listening to music, reading, or learning something new :)

    2. How do you take care of yourself?
    It’s a bit of a weird one this because I smoke, but everything else I try to do well e.g. eat healthily, drink very little etc. But I have a feeling the smoking outweighs everything…

    3. Are you internally (by yourself) or externally (by others) motivated?
    I motivate myself – I’m incredibly ambitious, and an only child so I’m good at giving myself pep talks. I feel I have a lot to prove, and I’m always trying to win whether it’s in assignments or against friends.

    4. What do you do for fun?
    I go out for dinner with my friends, or go to the theatre.

    5. What intimidates you?
    People who I perceive as being better than me – not in looks etc. but in something I THINK I am good at. For example, I’m very good at marketing and if you come up with an idea that I really like I feel intimidated because I wish I’d come up with it!

    6. What is something you’re proud of?
    The fact that I’ve taught myself a lot of things – web design, marketing, politics…

    7. Finish this sentence. I never _____________.
    I never say I’m sorry – such a bad trait, but I’m getting better…

    8. Favorite vacation spot.
    Probably NYC, or Greece.

    9. Today is a (rate from 1 – 10).
    8 – I’ve been productive and also quite chirpy :)

    10. Finish this sentence: If you knew me really well you’d know
    My true feelings.

    What a brilliant post – love things like this :D
