fidgetknickers. I never get tagged, so yay!
a. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.
b. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
1. What are your nicknames?
Online: Ally
2. What's your favourite holiday?
One where I get to spend time with the family. (OMG I sound so old)
3. What's new in your life right now?
Going to Milan this weekend, then home for Xmas, then I have to get off my ass and find a house/job/mode of transportation ahaha ...
4. Where was the last Starbucks that you visited?
Bern.
5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Balanced. :P
6. What books are you currently reading?
I suppose 'mountains of Merlin fanfic' doesn't really count, huh?
7. What celebrity do you have a crush on?
Sean Bean, forever and always.
8. How many people have you had sex with?
Two. Yes, I totally changed this question to something pervy. Mwahaha.
9. Is there anything that makes you unhappy these days?
Not really. Life has its moments, of course, but mostly I'm content.
10. When was the last time you were in a bar?
Oh God, like, three months ago in Zurich.
11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
Ten minutes.
12. Name something you would never wear.
Mustard-coloured fishnet tights.
13. What's your favorite thing to cook? Link to the recipe if you can.
Um, fried eggs on toast with tea. Nom.
14. Do you like to clean?
No, but I dislike people cleaning for me even more.
15. What's the last song that got stuck in your head?
Billy Boyd's wee bit in 'Steward of Gondor'.
16. What was the first band you ever saw live?
Uhhh. Blue, I think.
17. Who was your childhood idol?
I really wanted to be Jean Butler for a while (the first lead female dancer in Riverdance).
18. What would you do if you ever saw $100 lying on the ground?
Change it into my needed currency.
19. Name one movie you can quote for hours.
Advent Children.
20. Tell me something good.

Merlin (ep 112)
Holy Hell, what an episode! There's just so much to comment on! Firstly, omg how gay. Merlin/Arthur (Arthur seeks forgiveness through being nice to Gwen - did you see him looking at Merlin through that whole scene?), Morgana/Gwen (their love is so supportive and built on misguided advice, heh), and then, less gay but more disturbing, Morgana/Uther. Just. Wot. ASH rocked that whole episode IMHO.
Second: Gaius, court physician, trusted friend and advisor to King Uther ... DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING WHEN MERLIN STATES OUTRIGHT THAT HE HAS TO DECIDE THE FATE OF SAID KING?! "I trust you, Merlin, to weigh the decision of life and death carefully in your mature hands. Oh, btw, Arthur isn't old enough to be king fyi." Plothole #24851.
Thirdly: Did anyone else LOL when Merlin pulled the Sidhe staff from under his bed. I mean. Does he not remember when Arthur had to search his rooms? Could we be a little more obvious, Merlin?
Lastly: This happened in the course of watching the show.
Preview: *plays*

Moar
NaNoWriMo Swiss style ended in, well, style this past weekend. We gathered atbelenustenebrae's house for a sleepover that involved cake, alcohol, pizza, pasta, Twister, Singstar, Mario Party, Super Smash Bros, and Merlin drinking games. Best weekend of my life ever full stop amen. Gonna miss these guys so much - they made Switzerland a much more entertaining place than it would otherwise have been.
Going to Milan this weekend to stay withjackks, which shall prove to be entertaining, especially if angry uni porters yell at us in Italian. Hmm.
And then I fly home to jolly old England on Monday. Can't believe my time as an au pair is almost over. I'm going to miss this family a lot; they've been so good to me. Still, nothing beats a Christmas with your own mother and sister and menagerie.
