      Do you mean Conditions as in the band? or like weather conditions..?! haha i'm guessing the band so erm...

      Thiiiiiiiis much.

      Kidding. I think they're great guys and I absolutely love their music, that's probably quite obvious. There's just something really special about them, the way they write their music and perform. It's hard to come across a band where you like every song and never tire of them, Conditions is that band for me. Every lyric seems to hit home/i can relate to and understand. They have this simplistic yet complex way with words (if that can even make sense?) and listening to their music can always cheer me up/remind me of good things in this world. I really can't compare them to any band out there. I just have loads of faith in them, I don't think I've ever backed a band so much and wanted them to succeed so bad. They deserve to be heard and I'm really happy that they're now signed and so excited for their future and the upcoming album!!

      If you were talking about the weather...erm.

      Ummm. There are a bunch of quotes that are pretty important to me. Most of them I can't actually remember right now...but they're written somewhere in my room.

      One I heard recently that has stuck with me and I really like is : "Religion doesn't exist but God is infinite". - Brandon of Eye Alaska. I really like his way of looking at things.

      and another that I've been thinking a lot about lately is part of a Conditions songs (their lyrics pretty much always resonate with me) which is - "Don't wait for the world to get better. You're going to waste the time you have. And you won't get it back" I've been looking to that a lot lately, trying to drill it into my head. If you think too much about the world then your mind just flips out, I need to realise that one person can't carry that weight on their shoulders. It won't do anyone any good.

      alll of them!! haha erm Love Is my Drug, Party At A Rich Kids House annnd Dinosaur...yup.

      I'm really not sure! They have the big dilemma of sticking to the story (which I guess for huge fans is really important) and leaving it at 13 doctors, thus axeing a hugely commercial, long-running series or continuing the series with the risk of messing up storylines, angering fans and possibly even making it a bit rubbish by dragging it out! I'm kind of hoping they can get round it by finding a loop-hole in the story and the doctor ''getting out of trouble'' or having the doctor ''reset'' and for the timelords to start again! Who knows :/ i think we need to see where they're heading to see whether they should stick to it or not :)

      media is a plural of medium?! You just have to drop that into a sentence now just to make sure it works!! :)

      I love books, in the summer I like to read a lot more (like most people I guess). I like a weird mix of anything when it comes to books, classics, fantasy, American, mystery, crime, drama, true life, etc etc pretty much anything that can draw me in!

      I've never actually read a Graphic novel but having worked in Borders a lot of my lovely co-workers told me I should read them!

      Film of course I absolutely love! And again pretty much anything can interest me as long as it's good...if that makes sense haha! I'm really excited for Inception from Christopher Nolan!! He's one of my favourite recent directors! I'm also - ashamedly!! - pretty excited to see eclipse because it's directed by David Slade who has this amazing artistic style (my friend introduced him to me through 'Hard Candy' such a great film!) I love watching film trailers, I literally watch everyone that appears on my ipod app thing, so many look great from arthouse to mainstream to foreign! It's good to look around! I also like wes anderson, martin scorcese and clint eastwood films!

      annnnd! I'm just recently getting into video games! Me and grace got a ps3 last year and when we worked in HMV our friends loved gaming! They always spoke about new things coming out and recommended things! I've heard a lot about final fantasy, dragon age, assassins creed, bioshock, mw2, and especially the one with 4 people and multiple storylines but am yet to play a lot of them!! My brother used to get me and grace obsessed with wrestling games when we were kids though heheh :)

      sorry I completely when off on one with these questions! I probably should have just listed which ones I liked haha :)

      first off...high-five for inability to sleep!! *high fives*

      and secondly ummm I tend to not really have any pattern in my sleep haha! I literally will fall asleep when I feel tired. For example I fell asleep at 8.30pm and woke up about an hour ago so 12.15am but I didn't sleep at all last night. It's quite bizarre but i'm usually awake between 12-8am :)

      I've never really done anything rebellious because i've never had any reason to rebel. I have a great relationship with my family and I always got on well with my schools.

      If I ever did anything bad like skip school or something it was never a 'rebellious act' or intended to piss anyone off, it was always for a certain reason.

      There was one thing I did to avoid something (again not meant to hurt anyone) but I won't repeat it because it was completely dangerous and stupid plus it hurt people close to me. I don't want to give anyone ideas!

      hmmmm so I guess the most rebellious thing I've done is take a day off school to visit a uni (bristol...) but then when the trains were all cancelled for some reason we decided not to return to school but head into London and watch a musical (Phantom...). We got away with it. Oh I'm such a rebel...

      hhaha shit actually one time I tried to be a bit cheeky was in my general studies A-level exam (Stupid and pointless compulsory subject. I never went to any of the lessons) where instead of writing my answer I just listed all the bands/artists I thought the examiner would be much happier listening to instead of marking my paper. Personally I think I should have got fullmarks for my music taste.
      If the 'rebellious act' wasn't lame enough - it completely backfired as had I answered even one of the questions and gained just 10 extra marks then I'd be receiving an extra £2500 when I head to uni this summer. I probably should have looked into that before I threw away easy marks...Karma is a biatch.

      So yeah, I'm a good kid pretty much.

      Exactly. Some people genuinely cannot help it. I knew kids whose parents grew weed or dealt stronger drugs. It was quite inevitable that they would end up with drug problems themselves, even though they initially never wanted to go down that path their circumstances led them there. :(

    12. Poppy

      "To be honest people look the most pathetic when they ''try'' drugs just to say they've done them'' - completely agree with this. It's not something to check off some sort of list or something. People resort to drugs who have real bad problems, and most of the time they really don't want to and don't want to be in that situation. So it's almost insulting to try it for fun...

    13. Poppy

      hooray!! now I can ask you questions as well!! :)
      Hmmm.. I was a Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan when I was younger. I say 'fan' but really i spent most of the time hiding behind the sofa or with my eyes shut. I also had an odd crush on the british professor guy...do you think it's worth watching again?!

    14. Poppy

      Thank you, that's very kind! As much as I hate to admit it, I think I lose respect for people who even just try drugs too. I try not to be judgemental, everyone makes mistakes and I'm all for people trying new things for themselves but I just find it hard to believe that anyone would see any personal benefit of trying drugs. I'd see it as someone trying to either impress friends/peer pressure or to try and fit into some scene or social group or w/e to try and change their image. I know peer pressure can be a big bitch but I think there are some beliefs and morals that people should be strong enough to keep.

      Pretty much real below. I've seen it fuck with peoples minds and lead them to ruining their potential and positive futures. It's hard seeing people you care for self-destruct.

      And for the record weed is not actually the least harmful drug. There is an A class drug which is actually the least harmful, only when taken the correct and safe way. However it's the drugs addictive properties that makes it so dangerous and an A class drug, you're pretty much hooked from the start. So if we're ignoring the idea of 'gateway' or 'addictive qualities' then weed is not actually te safest. No drugs are safe.

    17. Poppy

      They do bad things to good people. I find the whole concept of them ridiculous really. many people say they use drugs to escape reality because they feel they have no control in their own lives but then taking drugs means they are then even more out of control, this time of their own body and mind sometimes.
      Pretty much the outcome of drugs is always negative so why bother? It's ruined so many good people so it makes me angry.

      I actually really enjoyed this series and I didn't think I would! Matt smith is really funny and suits the role, not to mention he's rather dashing ;) and Karen Gillian is actually really likeable as the new companion, I even like rory now!!

      I liked the storyline but I found them a lot lighter in comparison to previous series, still pretty interesting though!

      Favourite episodes would have to be the final two and the dream episode! Worst would have to be the one with those green scaly things - bored out of my mind!

      What did you think?! :D

      ''these ain't guns, they're nuclear missiles'' why thankyou very much for answering my question for me haha. very nice things there but I do sit around sometimes, I can't stand all day, me old legs can't take it.

    20. Poppy
