I had a sudden realisation the other day that this very blog will have its first birthday next Saturday! A whole year since Confessions of an Essex Girl reached out onto the interwebs to rant about boys and uni and every life problem you could imagine! So obviously, a very special post will go live on Saturday! But until then, I thought you lovely lot would enjoy these 99 Questions That Nobody Asks!
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed. I hate leaving doors open when I'm sleeping!
2. Do you take the shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels?
I very rarely stay in hotels, but I don't bother taking them if I do. I find that they're not really very good quality anyway.
3. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Out. I wriggle around a LOT during the night, so by morning, my bed's a state!
4. Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
I personally haven't, but over the last two years at uni, my boyfriend and his housemates have accumulated a wet floor sign, a barrier and a tree after drunken nights out...
5. Do you like to use post-it notes?
I like to think I do, when really, I just have a shit-ton of unused post-its in a draw.
6. Do you cut coupons then never use them?
I get sent vouchers and things, put them in my purse, then completely forget they exist.
7. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of bees?
I'm not too sure... A bear would pretty much kill me instantly, whereas I might survive a bee attack (or have a really slow, painful death), but I'd be scarred for life...
8. Do you have freckles?
Over summer, I get freckles down my nose and weirdly on my hands...
9. Do you always smile for pictures?
It depends on the circumstances. If it's just a normal picture, I'll smile. But on a night out, there'll be smiles, pouting, and silly face-pulling!
10. What's your biggest pet-peeve?
When people don't use manners. Is it really that hard to say please or thanks you? And people who eat with their mouths open. And slow walkers... A lot of things!
11. Do you ever count your steps when you walk?
I walk a lot, so I definitely wouldn't have the patience for that.
12. Have you ever peed in the woods?
I don't think so, no!
13. Pooped in the woods?
Definitely not.
14. Do you ever dance even if there's no music playing?
I do that quite a lot actually...
15. Do you chew your pens and pencils?
If I'm bored, I'll chew the end of my pen, sure.
16. How many people have you slept with this week?
Little intimate... Um, I have a boyfriend?...
17. What size is your bed?
I have a double at uni, and a single at home in Essex.
18. What is your song of the week?
Nobody To Love - Sigma.
19. Is it okay for guys to wear pink?
I don't see why not. A light pink shirt could look pretty attractive on a guy if you ask me.
20. Do you still watch cartoons?
I wish I did! *goes to binge-watch Powerpuff Girls*
21. What's your least favourite movie?
Suckerpunch. The only movie I've actually walked out of the cinema early for.
22. Where would you bury hidden treasure if you had any?
My freezer. No-one would suspect a freezer.

My boyfriend.
28. Were you ever a boy/girl scout?

I wrote a cute note to Lily & Ella for our Valentines box swap?
