Monthly questions: May

I'm so sorry for not posting for so long, and I know I say this everytime, but it is because of school. My last testweek started on June 10th, but the stress started 3 weeks before... Luckily I have a lot of free time after that to draw, read, shop and write and more, so I hope I will be able to post more things then. Here are the monthly questions of May, sorry they are this late.

1. Nicest things that happened
The vacation, my English debate of May 23, watching a horror movie with friends and my belated birthday party. The vacation was so nice, I barely made any homework (while I’m the kind of person who makes homework on Christmas day at family because I have little time). It felt so good to do just nothing special. And the English debate is probably the funniest thing that had happened at school in a long time. We had to lead the debates and give the groups the statements. Mine was last, and the statement was: “The differences between the social image of men and women should stay this way”. It was very hard for the groups to make arguments for this, so the arguments were full of bullsh*t, but really funny. One guy said: “If a guy wants to wear yoga pants and make-up he can’t because he will be discriminated.” And then this girl responded with: “If a guy wants to wear yoga pants and make-up he should go to a hospital and chop off his ****”. (and this was a debate in class for grades). On May 24 I watched a horror movie with my best friend and another friend. It was my first horror movie. My friends were really scared, but I wasn’t, so I was horror movie commentator that evening. The boy and I also tried to scare my best friend afterwards, which was really funny. On May 29 was my belated birthday. The night before this we had barely slept, because we had a sleepover, but is was really nice. The gift I liked the most was a notebook, because on the first pages each of my friends wrote something really nice and cute, like they were happy to be my friends. This really felt good, because my “friends” from last school year left me.

2. Something you’re proud of
At 10 may I got 200 followers on my fan account on twitter in 24 days. I started it on my birthday (April 17) and I’m really proud that I got this in less than a month. I tweet a lot about The Hunger Games, Divergent, Criminal Minds, other crime series, The Fault In Our Stars and other things, so if you like these things please follow me @Erudite_Minds (I follow back fan account with the same main fandoms as me)

Okay so I now already have more than 300, but please follow me

3. One crazy fact about you
I have a lot in common with Criminal Minds character Spencer Reid. We are both smart (I’m not as smart as he is, but who is (except for Sheldon Cooper from TBBT who has the same IQ as Spencer)), we both love to read, speak in a super fast tempo, have our own logic, fail at sports (the FBI had to make an exception to allow him into the field, I have exceptions in my gym classes), he has studied Chemistry while I’m planning to (probably, but I’m not fully sure), we are more comfortable talking science than small talk, we see/smell/hear things quicker than others,… there is a whole list. This is probably why I love the character so much, because I recognize myself in him.

Some people feel scared by my knowledge too (like my own parents)

4. Biggest obsession of the month
Criminal Minds. This month was the two parted season finale. For the first episode was said: two agents will fall down and there was a promo where I saw my favorite (Spencer Reid) being shot. For the second one was known that one team member’s live is in danger, Garcia has to shoot someone in order to protect a fellow agent and one profiler will say goodbye forever. I spend one week making speculations about who was going to leave, and I was hoping for a specific person (no spoilers: not because I hated that person, but because I love the rest way more,) but the way that person left was heartbreaking and I was like: “Come back!” :( But my fav survived <3

5. Movies you saw
I saw Divergent (again in the theaters) with the same people as the first time at May 1st. And on May 5th I saw the Other Woman, which was a really funny movie.



6. Books you read
The Fault In Our Stars (again, but now for school). That’s the only book I read :(


7. Drawings you made
I drew Johanna Mason, and some chibi things in notebooks. I also started on a Criminal Minds selfie, but it isn’t nearly finished.

8. Favorite music
Still the rock music. At school in a homework hour with my chemistry teacher, he started to play his music (which is also rock music) and I liked it, so he suggested a few bands. I haven’t had time to listen to them yet, but when I do, I will tell.

9. Played any games?
Nope, no games this month. I don’t play a lot of games, so I’m going to replace this with another question for the next months.

10. Fashion you bought
No, not really, so I’m going to show some outfits I wore last month.

Just a nice outfit

11. Other stuff you bought
Nothing, … so I’m going to place some random (okay not random, but fandom related) pictures that are on my phone ;P




12. Something new you learned
Don’t always judge a person on how they act, because sometimes there is a good reason why they act that way. A friend of me always acts really though and like she doesn’t care, but a few days ago on that sleepover she showed us a whole new side of her, and now I understand why she does the things she does.

This was is for now

I hope you liked it
Bye xxx
