So, I was tagged by the amazing :iconriparii: ! :blush:
First time such a thing happened, and well, I'll give it a try! :nod:

The Rules

1. You must post the rules.
2. Each person must post 5 things about themselves in their journal.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create eleven new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4. You have to choose 11 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. Go to their page and tell them you have tagged them.
6. No tag backs!
7. No stuff in the tagging section about "you're tagged if you're reading this". You legitimately have to tag 11 people.

5 facts about myself:
1. I grew up on a dairy farm.

2. Have been a vegan for 4 and a half year, but at the moment I'm considering myself as a vegetarian, as some non-vegan stuff has slinked down in the last months. But I still call myself vegan, as I don't wanna make a habit of not being vegan. XD

3. I actually started my dA-account for my drawings, but haven't posted a single one. Then my interest in nature photography grew, so that's that.
My drawings represent my mind and it scares me, but other people mostly. :o
The fact that I've kind of stopped drawing might be a reason why I don't show drawings, too. XD
Drawing didn't really help out, it didn't always make my mental state worse, but it certainly didn't make it better.

4. I'm gay, but that doesn't really say anything about me.

5. I would dearly like to be a horrible and scary being, but clearly, I'm not. I'm gay, love nature and am often called sweet,
but a tad towards the manipulative crazy person. A tea spoon maybe?
It all just screams cute and cuddly! FML. (p.s. I have never written, or said that before)

If I could, I'd be an Empusa mantid! A big one! :D
_______________________________________________________________________
Riparii's 11 questions:

1. Were you a bully or bullied in grade school?
Hmm, none of the above? I was bully material I think, being a farmer kid, mostly hanging out with girls and with an overactive mind.
But I didn't really give a shit. People like me quite easily too, and I often get leader roles.
Though, I have always fancied messing with people, but only with people I consider friends. (and teachers/grown ups  when I was little,
because they were supposed to be my "betters". If I didn't think so, I gave them hell. I didn't like, and still don't, the "being grown up
makes me smarter than you" idea) Good teachers has always liked me though, same with smart parents. But I had lots of grown up enemies! XD
I'm quite the manipulative basterd, but that's only possible because everyone thinks I'm cute and nice. Fools! Muhaha!

2. What is your favorite kind of candy?
Salty liquorice

3. Do you like violence and gore in books and movies?
Hmm. Well, I like brutality. Though the word brutality for me is actually something like "the force" behind life and curage etc.
I like all my things to be brutal, clean. Violence mesmerize me, but moslty natural violence, between predator and prey etc.  
But gore? Nope. Things that may have a cause eventually fascinate me, gore doesn't have a cause. The way I read and think of gore, that is.

4. Do you keep any pets?
I do, right now I have a cats, fishes and leaf insects en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylliid… .
I've had too many in my days. Though I would like to have an mantid some day.

5. What's the story behind one of your scars?
I don't know if it will become scars as I heal quite efficiently, but on the 1/12 - 2012 I tripped when walking on a stony beach.
Same  island as fav.me/d5mujfi , but the other side. I fell forwards and hit my head on my camera(!)
and bled furiously for some minutes. My camera seems just fine though. I kind of hope they become scars, I like scars!

6. Do you squish spiders or let them go outdoors?
When I was little I couldn't kill any critters, and that hasn't really changed. I have a fear-fascination relationship with spiders, but I never kill 'em!
Though the small flies that inhabit my apartments flower pots, I kill without hesitation! :P
But actually I don't always put the spider outside, I have this open aquarium that I have plants in, where I've put lots critters.
To my boyfriends dismay as he's afraid of spiders. :)

7. What was your favorite age so far?
Hmm. 7 to 12? I read so much, learned everything I could, soaked it up!
My recent 5 years has been filled with depression and the like.

8. Do you have a pleasant singing voice?
I had when I was smaller, and I think it's alright now. But I don't know? Some people say I do,
but some people don't mention it after thry accidently overhears it. That makes me uncomfortable. :meow:

9. What's something you did as a kid that you won't tell your parents about till you're 50?
My father would be 96, so he would probably be dead. Mother would be 80.
I'd tell them that I constantly lied. Not in any big way, never siding with the untruth, but I would add to things, kind of scientifically.
To see how far I could get, and when people would begin to suspect. It became a game. I'm not sure it has stopped completely.

10.Favorite ethnic meal?
Could I say sushi? I like suchi! I like spicy food too!

11. Do you believe in ghosts?
Hmm. No? But I do believe in presences, somewhat. I think that whatever exist in someones mind, exist in their mind. It doesn't make it real,
or that I believe in the supernatural. But it's real for them. And it is an entertaining thought! :nod:
I'm an athiest, but I believe in nature. Not in a "Gaia" sort of way, or towards shaman stuff and the like. But to me nature has a calming effect,
and it helps me think. What is faith, if not that?

My questions:
1. What book/literature has influenced you the most? + why/how?
2. What group of animals are your favourite group?
3. What kind of plant would you be if you had to chose? +why?
4. What's your favourite video game/board game etc? Pick one!
5. Which music genre is your favourite?
6. What has influenced/influences you the most, life or death? Elaborate?
7. Philanthropist or misanthrope?
8. Have you ever been active in an non-profit organisation? If so, in what subject?
9. Soulmate, is there such a thing?
10. Name two addictions you have/ have had!
11. What do you believe in? Big question, I know! XD
