So I’ve ended up getting in my time machine and winding back 5 years because today… I’m doing a TAG post. Say what? Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I did any sort of tag post but I used to do a lot of them within the first few years of blogging. They were always so much fun and carefree. Something I don’t think I’ve felt with my content in quite a long time.
So although I’m not planning on making tag posts a regular feature on my blog again, I wanted to do one because why the heck not. Blogging is supposed to be fun. I know a lot of bloggers have done this Vogue 73 Questions tag post but I stole this from Lisa’s Notebook (one of my favesss).
I’ve gained a LOT of followers (shameless self plug: if you want to grow your blog following check out my Beginners Guide To Growing Your Following eBook here!) since I last did a tag post so if you fancy getting to know me a little more, here’s your chance!
I was also really struggling to think of content ideas for this month so this was a bit of a cop out but don’t tell anyone. Let’s go!
1. What is your usual Starbucks order?
This is a really bad start butttt I don’t really drink Starbucks haha! But the last time I did, I had a Cappuccino.
2. What does your workstation look like right now?
RIGHT NOW I’m working from my bed. So it looks a mess. But in my office, my work station is pretty tidy. Just a lamp and a glass of water.
3. All time favourite food?
Chocolate Mini Rolls.
4. Favourite author?
Karen Thompson-Walker and Markus Zusak. Check out this post on 10 Books I’ve Read More Than Once for more about their books.
5. What do you think of open relationships?
Not for me, personally. But I have nothing against them for two consenting adults who feel it’s right for their relationship.
6. Favourite video game?
Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last Of Us 2.
7. Guilty pleasure treat?
Long afternoon naps when I should be working.
8. Favourite film?
Coraline.
9. Favourite book?
The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson-Walker.
10. Twitter or Instagram?
Depends what for. I’m loving Instagram at the moment (find me at jennyinneverland).
11. Desktop or laptop?
Laptop. But I miss old school desktops the size of a fridge.
12. Best advice you’ve ever received?
Don’t use 3 words when one will do.
13. What project are you working on right now?
I don’t currently have a project I’m working on, sadly. I’d like to start something soon, though.
14. Favourite colour?
Pinkkkkk.
15. Did you get good grades at school?
At GCSE, yes. But sixth form, no because I prioritized getting drunk than studying.
16. Dream job?
I honestly don’t know. I’m sorry that’s a bit of a cop out answer but I don’t. I’ve had SO MANY ideas of what I would want to do for a job which would be really rewarding. A librarian, a therapist, at one point I wanted to join the police force. But I honestly don’t know what my “dream” job is.
I love what I do now of course, I’m so grateful for my career and the opportunities I’ve had from it and I wouldn’t want it to end any time soon. But I never envisioned this for myself and if something came up that I was more aligned to, I’d probably go for it.
Maybe I just don’t have a dream job and maybe that’s okay.
