Well hi!!
A day or so ago I dropped a post inviting you guys to get to know me a little better with an 'Ask Me Anything' segment! However, as it stands at the moment I'm still a very small fish in the beautifully rich ocean that is Suicide Girls, and so I didn't get too many responses. BUT, I also have a lot of questions that I get asked frequently and so this seems like a great time to answer those too, for all you curious kitties that want to know me a little bit more...
Ask me anything question (big thanks to @reject101 for the question!):
- "If you were a tree, what tree would you be and why?"
Okay so I'm going to immediately get all boring and nerdy, but did you know that much like having an assigned horoscope and birthstone, you have an assigned tree too?! I had no idea until a few months ago...mind blownnn. Technically as an October baby my tree would actually be Ivy. In Celtic astrology its meant to represent your blessings which include being to overcome any odds. I don't know about you but I think that's cool as fuck.
If I had to be all serious and choose one, I'd still be having a hard time. I'd want to be something pretty and bold like a Cherry Blossom or one of those monumentally large Redwoods that you find in Cali.....or something decrepit and spooky like a Weeping Willow. Failing that, I'd settle for the stumpy wood chunks that Russian houses were built on that was the starting ground for the Baba Yaga folklore. There is no in between. I appreciate this doesn't answer your question in a cut and dry manner, but if anything it gives you some insight into my thought processes. I don't know whether to say "you're welcome" or commiserate you on having to try and follow my train of thought XD
With that question *kind of* answered, I'll dig into a few more!
- Am I straight edge?
No.
For context, I get asked this fairly often. The reason being that I have two black crosses tattooed on my pelvis. It never dawned on me that people may associate this with being straight edge, if I'm honest. There isn't any fun story behind them other than being inspired by a medical cross tattoo I saw in a similar area, and I wanted something of my own. I'm not a huge drinker, but I do enjoy it. I get that it's for some people (much respect my dudes) but it's just not for me. The tattoo isn't related to anything around that sort of lifestyle.
- Do you have a plan for your tattoos / do they have meaning?
Everyone has had this comment at some point, surely? I don't have a lot of plans for my tattoos, I struggle to focus on basic tasks, let alone planning my whole body! The only thing I have manage to knuckle down is my accidental half-and-half layout. What I mean by that is that I've accidentally made it that so every tattoo on my left is black and grey, and all of my right side is colour! Fun Fact: All of my right side tattoos are animals too! I didn't mean to plan them that way, but I love how it looks and so I'll probably keep it up.
Some of my tattoos have meaning. My first tattoo was a cat paw of my kitty Oliver. I also have a tattoo of the space dog Laika, as a tribute to her. Her story breaks my heart every time and so I wanted to memorialise her in a way where she is happy and care free in space. My semi finished left sleeve is inspired by my favourite artist, Michael Hussar.
- What's your favourite song?
We do not have enough hours in the day for that, buddy. I can barely remember what day it is most days, let alone remember my favourite songs despite knowing them inside out lmaoooo.
- What do you do for fun?
I get asked this because I have a LOT of side hustles. I have a habit of taking something that I enjoy and making it into work of some description. In the last 6 months or so I've taken on fire and as such I'm trying to make it work related. Lemme tell you though, it is SO FUN! I've learnt fans, staff and fire eating as it stands. I've a long way to go before I'm where I want to be. Although, they say you are your own worst critic and oh boy do I have high expectations of myself. Practising is a lot of fun and so I try to fit as much of it as I can into my schedule.
I know that there will be questions that I've forgotten about, so I may make another one of these in the future! If you guys have any questions then don't be afraid to ask them either! It's fun to make a blog post like this and share a little bit more about me :3
