How to talk to someone (without them dying of boredom)


Hello!

I'm back.

It's been eleven days since my last post. How was your Christmas? Did you have a brilliant New Year?

So you may have noticed the extremely weird and long title? You probably did. You know when you are having a conversation and then you both don't know what to say and there's a long, akward silence where you stand there for ages and then end up saying "So..." on repeat? This list of non-small talk questions will make your talking life much more interesting. Obviously you should always start with introducing yourself, ask them the usual questions and once you get to know them better, ask them some of these random questions:
  • If you were an instrument, which one would you be, and why?
  • If you could bring a fictional character to life who would it be, and why?
  • If you were an animal what would you be, where would you live, and why?
  • If you weren't human, what living thing would you be, and why?
  • If you were an item of clothing, what would it be, and why?
  • If you could meet anyone on Earth, who would it be, and why?
That should give you an interesting conversation! Ha ha- a very crazy one too!

I heard this saying recently, what do you think about it? Here it is:

You can learn more about someone in one hour of play than in a year of conversation.

What does it mean? I don't know if the word "play" means sport or playing as in "Yippee! Let's go on the slide again!" Do you know?

I am going to put a saying or quote in each of my blogs from now on, to give you something interesting to think about.

World Book Night!

Hi guys! HAPPY WORLD BOOK NIGHT! I'm not sure if I'm right, but I know WBD (World Book Day) was on the third of March. According to the WBD website  , today is World Book Night. I think this event is more for people in their teens, so I decided to celebrate this one instead of WBD, which is more for younger people. Anyways, I don't know what I'm meant to do for WBN, so I'm just gonna do a list of books that changed my reading life. (These books include books I read when I was much smaller than I am now) This doesn't contain any spoilers. BOOKS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE (AND YOU MUST READ THEM) Girl Online Series by Zoe Sugg This book is a book that inspired me to do two of my favourite things, blog and take pictures. I don't know who I'd be if I hadn't found the first book at my old Book Swappers club two years ago! AND it was written by my favourite YouTuber! The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins I know every teen loves this book...

Ginger and Chocolate Biscuits

Hi guys! This is a really nice recipe, which I found in a cookbook in my kitchen (a really old one without a publisher written on it!) and I came across a recipe for 'biscuits'. They could have came up with something more original! Anyway, I tried that recipe but the biscuits were very plain and boring, so I decided to spice it up a little (I actually used spices) ;) Here is the recipe I use (which is half from the book and half from me!) Makes about 18 biscuits (it depends on the cookie cutter you use, really) For the biscuits: 350g plain flour 3 teaspoons of ground ginger, or 4 teaspoons if you're a ginger lover! 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda 100g butter 175g soft light brown sugar 1 egg 4 tablespoons of golden syrup For the chocolate icing (don't really know what to call it!): 165g milk/dark chocolate (whichever you prefer) Handful of sprinkles Heat your oven to 180C, 350F gas mark 4. Storage:Keep in an airtight container and eat within six d...

Zoella outfits in cartoon!!

Hi guys! So I may not be a great drawer, but I managed to draw these pictures of Zoella, and I'm pretty proud of them. I really enjoyed drawing them, and picking which outfits for her to be wearing. I'm sorry that the pics don't look like her, but it's hard to transform someone into cartoon! And these were only five-minute sketches. I actually used her Instagram pictures for the outfits, so these are all outfits she owns and wears. Let me know if you'd like to see more of these little cartoons in the comments! Zoe's outfit when she took part in the Kellogg's SpecialK campaign with the U.N. Founfation's Girl up program. From her Insta account 28/03/17.  Zoe in her lovely knitted orange jumper. From her Insta account 7/04/17  From Zoe's latest video, where she answered some questions she never answered before. 13/04/17. Zoella in her new signature outfit, the dungarees! Her clothes are from her Insta  post on the 25/0...
