Under That Sleek Exterior
Who is your role-model and why? I'm not sure I have a role model. Recently I'd say Cher Lloyd, who you'll probably only know of if you're also from England. The reason I look up to her is because she believes in herself so much, is so ambitious and brave and stops at nothing to get what she wants. She gets a lot of hate but she takes it all on the chin and she also knows how to take criticism. But even though she's strong, she's not scared to admit that she can be vulnerable too.
Who is your best friend? Why are they closer to you then anyone else? My best friend is also my cousin, Emilie. We have an odd relationship, because we're complete opposites. She's balanced, I'm unstable. She's very polite and friendly, I'm quite cold and blunt. She's responsible, I'm not. She always does the morally right thing, I do what I think is right. It goes on and on. But we've always been in each other's lives. We don't always get on, and we've been through long periods where we havn't talked to each other at all. But it always comes back to us, because I don't think we can be without each other. I love her a lot, even though she sometimes annoys the hell out of me, and vice versa.
What is your relationship status? If you're in a relationship, tell us a bit about it. I'm single. I'd love a relationship, but I wouldn't know how to work it. I've been in love, it never worked out. I have a lot of trouble admitting feelings for someone. So even if they're there, even if the other person knows they're there, I won't admit them, and so I usually lose the person. It's ridiculous really. I don't know why I do it, I guess I don't like feeling weak.
What is your favorite thing to wear and why? It changes. I like feeling like I'm in fancy dress. At the moment, my favourite things are a rose pink, long-sleeved, peter-pan collar blouse, a cropped, knit mustard-coloured sweater, and an oversize, faux-fur coat.
Who in your family are you closest to? Hmm. I hate to say it, but probably my mum. We don't get on at all, but I guess she knows the most about me. But then of course, there's Emilie. And I have a good bond with my brother.
Tough Choices
In a difficult situation, would you choose your friends or your family? Family.
Your boy/girlfriend or your best friend? Best friend, as I'm single.
Your mom or your dad? Can't do it.
Your happiness or someone else's? Mine. It depends who the other person is, though, doesn't it?
Your life or someone else's? Mine. Again, depends who it is. But I'd quite like my life, thanks.
About The Books
Who is your favorite Gossip Girl character and why? Blair. I love how flawed she is, I love that about her. She is also feirce. She's weak, but she's also more brave than I could ever be. That said, I relate to her a lot, which is another reason.
Who is your least favorite character and why? It depends whether we're talking book or show. In the books, Chuck isn't featured enough for me to have much of an opinion, and I know more about the other characters, so I'd say Chuck. In the show, either Dan or Serena. Which is funny because I like them both (love Serena) in the books, but hate what they've done to them in the show. Serena's probably my least favourite. She just annoys the hell out of me. She's always trying to do the right thing and trying to be mature and responsible. That might not sound like a bad thing, but it just gets on my nerves. I find her pretty bland too.
Which of the current eleven books is your favorite and why? I couldn't choose.
If you could date any of the characters, who would it be and why? Nate. Then again, I'm talking the show here. I don't know why, I'm just more attracted to him than the others.
If you lived in the Gossip Girl world, who would you choose to make your best friend and why? Ooh, I don't know. Probably Nate, he's just easy to get along with. I feel like it would be difficult with the others. Then again, my best friend reminds me of a lot of Serena (yeah I know I dislike Serena, like I said, we have a weird relationship) so possibly her. It's hard knowing who you'd actually end up caring about, rather than who you'd like to care about.
