QP Has An Award!

So, I got the Liebster Blog Award from the awesome Asylum Attendant, a seriously cool guy who writes about a variety of things, from androgynous fashion to poetry and old insane asylums. (Do check out his blog!) You probably know the drill of these things; rules, questions, nominations, own questions. There are few facts about myself that I haven’t shared here already at some point, but I accept this award for the chance to point you people towards some interesting blogs I’ve been following.

So… The Rules!

1. Thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.
2. Display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)
3. Answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.
4. Nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)
5. Create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer.
6. List these rules in your post (You can copy and paste from here.) Once you have written and published it, you then have to:
7. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!)

The Questions!

1. What prompted you to start blogging in the first place? I was going through a rough time, and writing about my life helped me cope. When I eventually got admitted to a psychiatric hospital, I made this blog to share my stories and interesting curiosity finds. 
2. If you went to a psychiatrist, what would he/she say you suffer from? Depending on which one of my previous and current psychiatrists you ask, that would be any or all of the following; schizophrenia, malignant narcissism, psychosis not specified, ASD, and/or DID.
3. Who would you hate to see naked? That’s a tough one. I find that most bodies are bearable when naked, more so than when partially covered. (e.g. I think a hairy fat guy in a dirty singlet is worse than a naked hairy fat guy.) 
4. What household chore have you never done? Do basic DIY’s like hanging up pictures and putting together IKEA furniture count? I think I have done most other household chores at least once. 
5. What is your favorite movie line or scene? Another tough one! I like many movies and know many quotes, picking favorites is hard… But given the name of this blog, I’ll say it’s the Cheshire Cat’s “we’re all mad here” line. 😉
6. If you had to dispose of a dead body, how would you do it? Depends on the situation and the available materials. However, as far as favorite methods go, I find there is a certain charm in Titus Andronicus’ “let’s put them in a meat pie” strategy. Also, serial killer Leonarda Cianciulli who made soap and teacakes of her victims and then gifted those to friends is a great inspiration. 
7. Do you have a place where you like to go and think? If so, where? There are several places I often find myself to think. My room, my city’s botanical gardens, the toilet on the sixth floor of the literature faculty… 
8. To what would you like to devote more time? Making cosplay (and being crafty in general), writing fanfic, cooking, and having sex. Basically, my hobbies.  
9. What is your favorite store to shop at? Think Twice, a thrift store in my city. Every month they had a new collection, and halfway the month they start lowering the prices, until at the end of the month you can pick up any piece of clothing for just 1 euro. I found SO many great clothes there, from a gestapo-style leather coat and a lovely pvc dress to tons of pieces to remodel for cosplay. 
10. What is the wildest thing you would ever consider doing to your hair? I have done a lot in the wild hair department already, from asymmetric half long-half short, to rainbow colors all over, and even a completely blue hairdo. Right now I want to grow my hair out to waist-length, so no weird experiments there… but I would certainly consider a crazy color again some time in the future. (Or maybe different colors on each side?)
11. What is the best quality you possess? I have an all-round great memory. Seriously. I only have to read something once to memorize it. Without this skill, I would probably still be in high school, because I am absolutely shit at studying regularly and starting in time. I like to think it’s a karmic apology for all the other shit that was dumped on me… xD
