The "Sunday Currently" + Q&A requests

Hey guys! First, I just want to say that I'm not going to be blogging as Indigo anymore. I don't know... I created the Indigo persona for this blog almost a year ago and I just feel like I've outgrown it. I'm not the same person I was when I started this blog, not even close; I've grown so much. And I feel that sometimes, while I'm writing as Indigo, I'm not really being myself; I'm slightly pretending to someone else, some cool blogger girl who isn't really me...

I've realised that I want to be more honest with my readers, more open about who I am. And I feel like a good way to start that would be to tell you my real name. It's Andrea, pronounced An-drey-ah, by the way. None of that An-dree-ah business, please. If you ever meet me in real life, make sure you pronounce my name right, unless you want to really piss me off. And believe me, you do not want to piss me off. I might grin awkwardly at you and five hours later come up with ways to get back at you. (Seriously what am I like.)

Okay, so, moving on! So I was on Cossette's blog, Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist, and I saw that she does something called the "Sunday Currently", which is basically just a list of things that are happening in your life at the moment. And I've decided to do one myself, because it seems like a really good idea to give you guys an update on my life in a fun way. Anyway, let's go...

< < C U R R E N T L Y > > 

Reading: "One Of Us Is Lying" by Karen McManus. I only started it yesterday though, so I can't really give you an opinion of it. But it seems promising. It's basically a murder mystery set in a high school... me like.

Writing: My WIP, which I PROMISE I am going to write a post about soon. When I have time. And when I have more that 4000 words written. (#WorldsSlowestWriter) And when I actually freaking figure out what exactly my book is going to be ABOUT. *goes off into corner and cries*

Listening: to "Lonely Together" by Rita Ora. I LOVE THAT SONG SO MUCH RIGHT NOW OMG. It's my current favourite. I don't even know why. IT JUST IS. I LOVE IT.

Thinking: TOO MUCH ABOUT STUFF. Urgh there is so much to think about. I've been going to sixth form and college open days all this past week so I've been thinking about my future and what I want to study when I'm older and like... I'm tired, okay?

Smelling: Umm... nothing right now?

Wishing: That my exams next year go fine, and that when I start at a new school or college I'll be happy there. My school experiences haven't been great so far, but I'm pretty confident everything will be fine.

Hoping: That I get everything on my Christmas wish list lmao. Though I don't mind not getting that many presents if it means that we'll have enough money for next summer to go on a really cool trip round Europe. So also hoping that we'll have enough money for that.

Wearing: My favourite grey hoodie and tracksuit bottoms. Comfort over style is like my personal motto.

Loving: Is it okay if I say my cat?? Because I wuv my kitty so much. I also spend 50% of the time loving my new writing project. (I spend the other 50% thinking it's utter crap.)

Wanting: A new phone case, 'cause the one I've got now is literally falling apart, I'm serious.

Needing: MORE TIME TO DO STUFF. WHY DOES TIME GO SO QUICKLY. Like how is it already November?? Madness. I also need more time to work on my writing project, it's like I barely have any free time. (And whenever I'm free I never seem to feel like writing?? Why.)

Feeling: Right now? Tired, lol. And I have a sore throat, so a bit annoyed about that. I've been feeling quite excited at the prospect of starting a sixth form; going to open days makes it feel a lot more real, something that is going to happen soon, rather than something that will happen at some point in the far future... does that make sense?

Clicking: Around the blogger homepage as I check my pageview stats.


Anyway, that's it from me for today! Just one other thing; I want to write a sort of question-and-answer post - a lot of bloggers are doing it, all of a sudden, and it seems like a good idea. So send me Qs down in the comments! Ask me anything - about my writing, reading, favourites, likes and dislikes, my life in general; anything you ever wanted to know about me! Obviously nothing too personal that I might not want to answer, but apart from that, ask whatever you want! There's no deadline, though I'll probably be writing the Q&A post next weekend, so try and get the Qs in by then. Can't wait to hear from you all!

Catch you later,
