Mixtape - Jamie Cullum
4)Fifteenth song to come on your shuffle is now the theme that describes your life; what does it say?
It’s Mixtape by Jamie Cullum.
I’ll be honest, I’ve only listened to this song a few times so I’ve had to look up the lyrics to try and see how they might define my life. I actually think this song is quite a validone to describe someones life. The singer is talking about...

4)Would you be willing to sacrifice Tumblr for the one you love?
Probably. I love Tumblr, I enjoy writing on it and I bloody love having a blog, but it hasn’t turned into ‘smoking’ for me yet. It is not a ‘bad habit’ that one must quit. I would of course have to have his reasons for me giving it up.

4) Write about a period of time in your life where things seemed to be constantly going good.
There have been bursts of fabulousness and bursts of terribleness. As an optimistic person, I try and see the positives in everything so often my life is going constantly well. America, I suppose was a period of time when things were constantly good. I made amazing friends, got good grades and...

4. Any WIP of yours
WIP? As in work in progress? One of them is far too long but I suppose I could show you a poem or something. I wrote this for my poetry class in America so I’ll show you this. I’m planning on basing a story off of it. It’s a sonnet.

4. What do you think it means to be in love?
That’s a kind of ambiguous question, and far too many answers. I suppose it means feeling extremely strongly for somebody, more strongly than you’ve ever felt for anybody else. It’s a different kind of love than the one you feel for your parents, other family members or your friends. You unconditionally would do anything for the...
Tonight...
was hilarious.
So much fun, hanging out with the girls from St.Osmund’s talking about the ridiculous things we did when we were about 9.
I seriously don’t think I’ve laughed that much in a LOOOONG time.
I need more nights like that, serious therapy.
When you're with your friends and
ilyketurtles:
One of them says something funny
You laugh so hard you become a cat
Then decide to start dancing
Now you’re halfway through reading this and you realize it doesn’t make sense
But you reblog it anyway
And then you question your sanity, and why you are still reading this
But it doesn’t matter because you’re awesome.
Vienna - Billy Joel
3)First song to come on your shuffle that makes you sad; why does it make you sad
It’s Vienna by Billy Joel
Now don’t get me wrong, this song doesn’t make me ridiculously depressed but it just makes me worry that I try and do things too fast and don’t notice the world around me. Do I stop to look around the world enough? Do I take in all that surrounds me?
“Take...

3)Do you think you’ve ever been in love?
No. I know for certain that I haven’t. I’ve never had a proper relationship, just flings or ideas that never turned into anything. I have felt very strongly for somebody and I have had my heart dented, but that wasn’t love. I’m looking forward to falling in love though, god I hope it happens.

3) If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you want to do?
I’ll be honest, this isn’t really a question I want to think about or would even know how to answer. This summer and the whole question of existence has been hard on me and I’m only just starting to get my mind back on track. This requires me to think about something I just don’t want to think about. What I...

3. A picture of your current desk - don’t clean up or change anything.
I’m at home at the moment and unfortunately only have a desk at uni but I can tell you about it. In the left hand corner is a bunch of books and DVDs all lined up, they all slant because I’m often taking books etc. out. Beside that is a jar of money which has a picture of a tree inside which Andy randomly drew on...

3. Where have you been spending your time lately? Three/Five/Ten years ago would you have expected to be there?
Literally lately, it has been my house. It is the christmas season and that’s where one is expected to be :) Obviously I’ve done the whole Nero’s thing, that’s basically OUR coffee shop, Weeze, Mim and I. And three years ago is when it was opened in Salisbury and...

Hey, Soul Sister - Train
2)First song to come on your shuffle that makes you happy; why does it make you happy?
It’s Hey Soul Sister by Train.
I don’t know a lot of people who don’t love this song. It is great, though is has started to get a little overplayed, I’ll be honest. It wasn’t actually Train who put me onto this song, it was Wade Johnston, who is a ukulele player on YouTube, who...

2. Are you materialistic?
No and yes. I like nice things, and I’m sure lots of other people would admit the same.Sure I’m materialistic in the sense that I like to wear well-made clothing that it’s vaguely on-trend etc. but would I ever put a material item in front of a person. Never. Money isn’t everything, it does make the world go round, but it is not everything....

2) Write about the best friends you’ve had over the years.
This could be lengthy. I’ve had quite a few best friends over the years, my very first best friend was called Fatima. I hardly remember what she looked like but apparently we were thick as thieves in nursery school when I was 3, but then I moved away from London and down to Salisbury and that was the end of our friendship. Then came...

2. How you got into one of your fandoms
Huh? I don’t really know what a fandom is. I like Harry Potter. How does that make you feel? Am I along the right lines there?

2. Who are you? In comparison to who you used to be. What made you change?
What a difficult question. I’m Clare Dunn, obviously. But who am I really? I’m a 21 year old girl who forgets she is older than she is, I’m generally optimistic and empathise greatly with others. I’m not particularly stubborn which can present me as being a bit of a pushover at times. I rely on my...
Bop Bop Baby - Westlife
1)First song to come on your shuffle; why it is on your iPod, what significance does it hold?
It’s Bop Bop Baby by Westlife.
It’s on my iPod because, really, what girl doesn’t love Westlife. When I was about 15, I denied having any sort of love for them. I was an Avril Lavigne kind of girl, I didn’t need their cheesy, chart-topping, love ballads in my life. Well now I do....

My right neck muscle sticks out.
I have been dying my hair since I was 15, my Mother has always said “You should never let a man know your real hair colour.”

1)What type of person do you usually fall in love with?
Well I’ve never fallen in love let alone been in love so I’ll have to answer this as if the question was, ‘What kind of person do you go for?’ I don’t like the word ‘type.’ I, personally, don’t really believe that anyone has a type. I always say, body type wise, I’d like someone who...

My body slightly tilts to the left
I have a strong desire to have a clipped British accent and to know how to “really” speak the Queen’s English.

Nativity Poem - John Donne (pronounced Dunn)
Immensity cloistered in thy dear womb, Now leaves His well-belov’d imprisonment, There He hath made Himself to His intent Weak enough, now into the world to come; But O, for thee, for Him, hath the inn no room? Yet lay Him in this stall, and from the Orient, Stars and wise men will travel to prevent The effect of Herod’s jealous general doom. Seest thou, my soul, with thy faith’s...
