'Get To Know Me'

So I figured that being as I literally started this blog yesterday, that nobody knows who I am. So why not do a 'get to know me' tag? I have picked 30 random questions, so I guess I'll start answering them. :)
1) - What is your full name?
My full name is Courtney Rebecca Spillane. My surname is from my dads side of the family and I hate it, although I like its Irish origin, but I am thinking of changing it to Morgan. (Mums side).
2) - When is your birthday?
I was born on the 8th of June - Summer baby!
3) - What is your biggest pet peeve?
This may sound weird, but I can't stand being around other people when they blow their noses.
4) - Favourite colour?
My favourite colour changes daily, depending what mood I am in. Today it is orange.
5) - Do you have any pets?
Okay, don't judge me. I have two snakes, two tarantulas, a scorpion, and this is my cat, Luna!

6) - What is your nationality?
I'm British! :)
7) - How many siblings do you have?
2, I have an older sister and a younger sister
8) - How many languages can you speak?
Fluently, one, which is clearly English. I did German for three years, although I can barely remember anything. I also know a bit of welsh and some British sign language.
9) - Favourite time of year?
Probably Christmas because I get way too excited and know all the words to pretty much every Christmas song. Although I love dressing up on Halloween.
10) - When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be either a singer or an archaeologist.
11) - Who was the last person you texted?
*Checks phone* The last person I texted was Fuzzy saying 'Yes, Westminster is in London'.
12) - What is your favourite animal?
Definitely a Llama! I love them!
13) - Sweets or chocolate?
I love chocolate, but probably sweets. I'm loving skittles and milkshake bottles at the moment. :)
14) - Tea or coffee?
I don't like coffee, so tea. I literally do not function without a cup of tea in the morning. (No caffeine though).
15) - If you cold have one superpower, what would it be?
I guess I would want to be able to mind read, or to be able to steal other people's super powers.
16) - Who was the last person you hugged?
Umm... Oh God. It was my friend Luke and then I followed up afterwards with 'Do guys feel girls boobs when you hug them?' Awkward..
17) - If you had one wish, what would you wish for?
There are probably so many things I could wish for but I'm going to be cliché and wish for a hundred more wishes.
18) - Most embarrassing moment?
I can't really think of any embarrassing moments, but yesterday I had a really awkward moment in class. Basically, my friend bought me a chocolate bar, and we were sat in English and I couldn't find it. About half way through the lesson I went to get a pen out of my bag and I found it. I got so excited that I gasped really loud when the teacher was explaining something and so it was really quiet. Literally the whole class turned and looked at me, the teacher thought something was wrong. I then had to awkwardly say 'I.. Um... I found my chocolate bar'. The whole class laughed at me as I put my head on the table in shame.
19) - Your house is on fire, everybody is out and safe, you can only save one thing. What is it?
I am going to assume that my phone is already in my pocket, (Not cheating at all), and I would probably have to save my laptop, because I cannot live without it.
20) - Have you ever been in love?
Does Johnny Depp  count?
21) - Which fruit would you give wings to if you could?
Well, flies tend to fly straight in to my eye quite a lot, so probably a raspberry, because it's small and wouldn't hurt. If a watermelon flew into my face, it would most probably decapitate me.
22) - Name three of your best friends?
Ummm... Fuzzy, Isabel and Luke:)
23) - Is it true that ginger people can communicate telepathically? 
Yes... Yes it is.
24) - Favourite vegetable?
Oooooo cauliflower.
25) - Do you have any phobias?
I have a phobia of clowns, they are just creepy. I am claustrophobic because when I was younger, me and my sister were playing hide and seek, which was a good idea until I hid in a toy box and she sat on top of it and wouldn't let me out. Ever since then I have been afraid of small spaces.
I also have a completely irrational fear of 'things in the dark'. I don't mean rational things like  psychopathic murderers or anything that is remotely realistic. It's just, as soon as the lights turn off, I fear that some kind of supernatural being is out to get me. It has gotten to the point where I sprint as fast as I can up the stairs picturing the exorcist crawling up behind me. I can't even sleep with the TV on stand by in case the scary girl from the ring crawls out and kills me. I don't actually believe in any 'supernatural beings' but either way, as soon as it gets dark, they scare the crap out of me!
26) - Is there anywhere you want to travel to?
I really want to go to Venice and Japan.
27) - Favourite subject?
Definitely English Literature.
28) - What time do you usually go to sleep?
Probably around 12am on average if I have to be up the next day for something, but otherwise around 3am.
29) - What was the last thing you bought?
I bought a mug from Primark last week.
30) - Can you invent a word and it's meaning?
Uh... Schlaxmongrel. It is when you accidentally kill your dog with an axe.

Introducing Me

I have wanted to start a daily blog for a while now, and I had every intention to, but I lacked motivation to actually get it started. So here I go. Being as this is my first post, I wanted to do a little introduction.
So basically, my name is Courtney and I am probably one of the most awkward people you could possibly meet. I wanted to make this blog to share my stories, and hopefully you can laugh at my stupidity. These posts are going to be about loads of different things because I have so many ideas!
Also, I am going to do my best to post regularly. :)
