Which one of your parents do you think is smarter? My dad is academically smart; my mum is street savvy.

Which season’s colours do you look the best in? I love the autumn palette, but I don’t know which season’s colours I look best in and I don’t care.

Have you ever had a professional make-over? Yes, for prom.

What’s your favourite way to style your hair? I barely style my hair because I simply don’t have the skill. I like to just keep it down or throw it up in a bun or a pony tail.

What irritates you about your daily life? People around me. Sometimes life itself.

Could you come up with 100 random facts about yourself on the spot? Lol I wish I was that self-aware.

What are five things that would make you happier? Overall good health, to be where I want to be, with the person I want to be with, have more money, and have some fucking direction for once.

Do you ever curl your hair? I have a curling iron, but have only used it twice. I don’t have the patience tbh.

Have you ever straightened your hair for a dance? Bold of you to assume I dance. No.

Have you ever worn cat-eye glasses? Sunglasses, yes.

Who have you been missing lately? My boyfriend. I haven’t seen him in nearly 7 months now.

If you were a fantasy character, would you be a warrior, a mage or a rogue? Definitely more of a mage even though I’d like to be rogue lol.

Who is the most wonderful, amazing person in your life right now? My boyfriend is literally the only one who makes me want to even live.

What’s something repulsive in a member of your own gender? Pulling each other down. Women can be so envious and would go after one another just so they can be “better” ugh, I hate that shit.

Do your pets sleep next to you at night? My cat used to sleep next to me, but then now he sheds way too much and it goes absolutely everywhere so he sleeps on his mat instead.

How often do you use online dictionaries? Every time I encounter a word that I don’t know the meaning of. Every single time. I cannot just read past something that I don’t know the meaning of—it’ll drive me nuts.

What about between Pepsi and Coke or Sprite and 7Up? I find Pepsi awful. It’s like watered down Coke. I actually highly dislike Coke (or sodas in general) but I’d still rather drink it than Pepsi. Sprite is like Coke in its intensity and 7Up is its Pepsi equivalent.

Do you care what kind of toilet paper you use? Yes. I always get the Andrex quilted ones with more plies. I hate the flimsy ones because I just end up using more in the end and it’s not really environmentally helpful.

What colour of roses do you find the prettiest? White.

Do you think religious leaders just like to manipulate people? Radical ones, and also misinformed ones that can really hurt people. Reminds me of an FGM documentary that I watched where someone challenged the Imam to find where in the Quran does it say that vaginas need to be mutilated. He couldn’t find it!!!! Makes me so mad that people would do such a barbaric thing and pass it on as “part of their religion” when it isn’t and was just passed around as word-of-mouth, not religious fact, and they just took it like that without questioning it. Like, first of all, if your religion is condoning literal mutilation and not giving you your basic rights as a human (women’s vaginas are sensitive and you shouldn’t be cutting off the clitoris and stitching up the hole!!! this is life threatening AND we’re allowed to feel pleasure too!!!), you need to start questioning it.

Look to your left and name the first three things you see. Luggage, perfume, printer.

What is your favourite thing to drink? Cold water, coffee, masala chai, and freshly squeezed juices. 

Name three places in the world you would like to visit? Japan, Greece, Spain.

What was the last movie you saw at the cinemas? It was that Dog movie. I forgot the title. It was my little brother’s birthday so he chose the film to watch even though I really wanted to see Alita lol.

In a house fire, what three things would you save? Idk I’ll definitely just grab my 2 cats and then whatever else I can get that’s got value to me.

What scent is the deodorant you use? Unscented. I use a natural crystal spray.

Do you use body wash, shower gel, or soap? Soap first on its own, and then body wash with a loofah.

Have you ever been so lonely you cried? What made you stop crying? Yeah, the first two months of me being back home. I was finally with family, but I felt lonelier than ever. I got so used to being on my own and then only living with my boyfriend. It was peaceful and I loved the life we had together, then all of a sudden I’m back to the way it’s always been and I just felt lonely despite actually having more people around me. I guess I got used to it so I stopped crying over it after like 2 months of intermittent crying lol.

What would you say is one of the best songs you’ve ever heard? The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin. I want it played at my funeral.

Would you ever consider getting breast implants? Nope. Fake titties just don’t look good to me. They don’t look like they feel good either.

When was the last time you kissed someone? Are you dating that person? 23rd August 2018, the date of my flight, ughhhhh. Yes, still.

What is the most expensive thing in your bedroom?  This Prada bag in front of me.

What does the lead singer of the band you’re listening to, look like? I literally don’t know. It’s just one of those songs I listen to but that’s it, nothing else by the same musician so idk.

At what age did your parents start trusting you alone with the opp. sex? I don’t know because they have always trusted me. People often describe me as trustworthy to begin with. Late this year I’m moving in with my boyfriend for post grad and they’re cool with that. 

Are you sexually active? How long have you been that way? Not really because I haven’t even seen my boyfriend for nearly 7 months. How long uhh just since early last year.

What was the most romantic moment of your life? Err probably when Z and I went on a day trip to York because strolling down the beautiful streets, I kind of got hit by the fact that wow I’m dating someone? haha. I’m going on dates? Weird. I never fall in love ever but now here I am.

What’s something that most people don’t know about you? Errrr that I’m not actually half British? For some reason I kind of just assume my friends know that my English dad is not my biological dad but then I get shocked that they get shocked to find that out like hello are you not seeing me I mean idk I don’t rly look half white to me?

What does your last text say? "Alright” to my little brother.

Do you think you’re pretty? Yes, on good days and when my skin cooperates with me. But when I think I look ugly, I look really ugly.

What is your current relationship status? In a relationship.

Bluntness, do you like it? Not so much the bluntness, but the honesty. If you can say the same thing in a better way without compromising truth, then do so.

What is the first thing you notice about someone, physically? Whatever physical attribute they have that sticks out. (i.e. they’re really tall, then I’ll notice that. Their eyes are light and bright, I’ll notice that.)

Do you believe in love? I’m in my first ever relationship and I guess I’m still hopeful so sure.

Thoughts on Justin Bieber? Never liked / cared about him.

How many times per week do you shower? I wash my body every day, but my hair every other day cause it’s dyed.

What is your favourite colour pen to write with? Black and also navy blue.

Would you rather do a craft project or a science experiment? Defo science.

What is your favourite thing about yourself? Intellect.

What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you? I hate to make every answer about my boyfriend but ugh it’s him. I got all the way to the age of 19 without any real romantic experience until I met him and uh now I understand the hype? haha.

What was the name of the first dorm you lived in? The Glassworks.

What is your significant other’s middle name? He doesn’t have one.

Who were your last 4 missed calls? My boyfriend. All 4 of them.

What colour did you last paint your nails? This sort of... if you were to darken seafoam green?

What were you doing at 4 AM? To be honest, crying. I didn’t know what I was crying for either, but I just all of a sudden cried around 3–4am last night. My boyfriend reassured me that it could just be my hormones but I don’t really know and I don’t understand.

What was the last thing you ate? Ferrero Rocher.

How is your hair done right now? Down and messy.

What do you want? Peace of mind, motivation, inspiration, a breakthrough, a passion, renewed sense of hope. Shall I go on?

How much money did you spend yesterday? £18.something for the Hozier album pre-order.

What brand is your underwear? La Senza and Victoria’s Secret.

What is something you have acquired with age? A healthy amount of independence, with more than a dash of uhm, familial... disconnect lol.. 

Do people interest you? Yes, when they have something new to offer.

Are you in love right now? I am. 

Think of a random person, and give them a message here, no names: I suppose we have grown apart and will continue to grow apart. Seasons change and so do people. I have to accept it and move on. I have no space in me for sadness. Whatever gives me sadness, I have to ignore. In essence, I will let our friendship go. I think the time has come and you are due to go, and hopefully grow. It’s just not the same anymore and I refuse to be used or engaged with only when it’s convenient for you. I don’t believe it’s friendship when you approach me needing help, but ignore me when you’re fulfilled.

What do you check out first when you check someone out? Their eyes and smile, their energy.

When you looked in the mirror today, what was your first thought? I don’t look half bad.

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you? Not at all. I would involve myself more in their lives. I would push my children to do things that they could be passionate about (art, dance, music, activities, anything of interest, anything!). I would guide them with example, not with empty words. Most of all, I would be there and they would be comfortable to share their feelings with me.

What does your middle name mean? Month of flowers, and spring. Also just because I was born on it. 

Will you be over 21 in 3 years? Yes, good Lord. I hate to think of it. 

What is your favourite perfume/candle fragrance? I love perfume and I have so much that I love. But I like to think of Byredo’s Gypsy Water as the one perfume that I would never get tired of wearing. As for candle fragrance, it varies a lot. The last one I really loved was Autumn Glow by Yankee Candle.

Do you blush easily? When something I find embarrassing/I’m shy of happens without warning. Or when my boyfriend does something that makes me blush, he’s good at it.

Are you an artist/writer? I write poetry from time to time, I am not prolific enough or confident enough to call myself a writer.

Do you play an instrument? Guitar.

Do you like to dance? I am an awful dancer. I only dance in clubs when I’m drunk. Otherwise, I don’t even have the confidence to. When I was young, I was definitely interested in being a ballerina, but it was never something that actually materialised or my parents supported. Fast forward to 20 years later, I enjoy watching Sergei Polunin leaping instead of doing the leaping myself.

What trait do you feel you lack that you wish you possessed? Some sort of fiery, passionate, inane urge to create.

Do you find it difficult to stay invested in online relationships? It’s not difficult when you’re already in love. I’m currently in a long distance relationship but it was one that was built in real-life before it became online due to the distance that separated us. To me, whether near or far, if i’ve got feelings, I’ve got feelings. Staying committed and loyal comes naturally to me. If you’ve got me, you’ve got me for good. If you don’t, you really don’t.

Do you have any stickers on your laptop? I have a glossier sticker on my MacBook air because I got it from a purchase and I thought it was pretty.

Is there someone who seems to only reach out to you when they want something from you? Yes! Frustrates me so much. An old best friend from when I was like, 5. It seems this person only talks to me when they need my advice on something. It’s nice that they trust me and they value my opinion, but I don’t want to be anybody’s therapist. She only shows up when she needs me. It’s unfair so I’ve decided to let her go and let the friendship go quietly and without drama. If you’re not there for good and bad times, I don’t have the energy to talk to you.

What is something you can only understand if you’ve experienced it first hand? The feeling of losing someone important/beloved, and emptiness.

In terms of a wedding, put these things in order from what would be MOST important to be perfect, to LEAST important… Engagement ring, dress, hair, venue, ceremony, food, pictures, decorations, honeymoon. To me, the wedding itself is hugely unimportant and at times can be terribly impractical and a waste of resources. I would much rather spend it on a wonderful honeymoon. I value the relationship and marriage itself more than the wedding and materialistic things that come with it. Although, if money was not a problem, then it would be in this order: honeymoon, engagement ring (I would be wearing it for a long time!), pictures for memories, ceremony, decoration, venue, dress, hair, food (I feel like this would be the least of concerns, we eat food regardless anyway).

Is there a quote that’s helped you through hard times or really stuck with you? What is it? In the Iliad, when Odysseus was alone and on enemy territory: “Be strong, saith my heart; I am a soldier; I have seen worse sights than this.”

What’s something practical and useful “real world” things that should be taught in high school aside from the basics like English, math, science, etc.? Employment related things. Practical things like mortgages. Those kind of “real world” things that I realised upon graduating from university that I barely knew about.

What perfume of yours does your SO love on you? I’m pretty sure he used to love it the most when i would wear my White Musk (Body Shop) perfume which is actually probably the cheapest perfume I own. On the high end side, he likes Gypsy Water (Byredo) too!

Do you prefer your guy to wear cologne or not? If I like the cologne, why not. I’m a sucker for that one Tom Ford cologne that I like haha. If not, I usually like when my boyfriend uses his aftershave because I think it smells really good and I always end up kissing his face a lot when he puts it on. Later on, he admitted that he was only using it because he figured out that I loved it and in truth it actually stung his face to use it, oops.

What was the turning point that led you to decide for or against having children? I never really wanted children, but then again I have never fallen in love before. In fact, I actually usually dislike and get irritated by kids. But now that I’m with someone I love, I feel like it’s one of those things that I would love to do just because I would love to create a human being with the person I love the most. It would be the most precious thing I would ever be capable of doing. That’s really something. When we do decide to have one, I would make it right by him/her.

What would your reaction be if your SO wanted the opposite type of wedding than you did? A big and crucial part of successful relationships I think is compromise.

What kind if body type do you find attractive and unattractive (for your preferred sex)? I personally would feel attracted to someone who looks healthy. It’s not necessarily ripped or jacked or whatever, but just not unhealthily fat and unhealthily thin. All of it has to do with just staying healthy and balanced, good health.

How do you feel about strangers approaching you with compliments? It all depends on the approach. A compliment can be jarring if it’s delivered wrong i.e. in a creepy way. That would barely be a compliment to me, but more like a suggestive and creepy remark like cat calling. I wouldn’t find that flattering. A good, harmless compliment like “I love your dress!” is nice to hear. I don’t want a cat-caller whistling.

Do you consider it cheating if your SO goes to a Strip Club and then doesn’t tell you? I think so. What’s the purpose of going to Strip Clubs but not to look at and fantasise and even receive “services” from other women? I don't think it’s proper especially without consent of the other party, which I will never give. I’m possessive and jealous in my own ways, but I think this one is justified.

Is it easier for you to forgive or to pretend it never happened? Pretending something never happened is way harder.

Do you own any Nintendo video game consoles/handhelds? I used to have a Game Boy advance lol. Now I only have a 2018 Nintendo 3DS XL SNES limited edition.

Do/did you ever own a Blackberry? I did.

If you have a song stuck in your head, what’s the name of it & the artist? I’m obsessed with Movement by Hozier atm. Sergei Polunin dances in it too and I love them both.

What’s your favourite U2 song, if you have one? I’m gonna be predictable as fuck, but it really is With or Without You.

What’s a song that you remember from your childhood? Californication by RHCP for sure.

What heritage does your last name imply? Err Google says it’s a derivative of a Scottish name.

Do women breastfeeding in public make you feel uncomfortable? Why or why not? Why should anyone really feel uncomfortable at the sight of a mother FEEDING her child? Maybe if we stopped sexualising everything we would realise that female nipples are just the same as male nipples, except we’ve actually more reason to display it in public (i.e. if an infant needs feeding, you don’t make them wait just because people are afraid of seeing a literal body part...)

What are you wearing?  A floral tank top and some booty shorts.

What do you own that’s made of wool?  I have 2 identical wool coats in cream and bright red.

What’s your favourite thing to do on a snow day? Stay in, light a scented candle up, and drink tea or coffee.

How many pairs of gloves do you wear in the winter? I only have 1 pair, black leather gloves.

What’s one thing on your wish list right now? See Hozier live (which I probably will this September! he’s got a European tour and he’s playing right in my uni so....) What’s one thing you think people probably assume about you? I know people assume I’m rotten. All my friends told me they thought I was this and that.

Were you in love this time of last year? Not at all.

Have you ever had a ‘secret admirer’ before?  Somebody once slipped a note in my locker saying something along the lines of they like me but they find it so hard to approach me/I can be such a snob and I never knew who it was and I was never really interested to find out. That was before high school so I knew I was way too young for that lol.

Have you ever broken someone else’s heart?  I guess so. Not intentionally.

Are you in a relationship right now? Happily.

Are you happier single or in a relationship? I think I’m happier now because I’m with someone I truly have feelings for, and someone who makes me feel important. It’s requited love. It’s a good feeling.

Are you in college yet? I’m finished.

Have you ever snuck out before? Never had to.

Do you plan on getting married? I guess, but it doesn’t really matter that much to me.

About how many times a week do you skip class or just school in general?  Almost never skipped primary and secondary, but I skipped a lot in uni because it was such bullshit sometimes. Sometimes professors are barely useful when they would just stand there and not offer more than what’s on the ppt and that sucks like I could learn that at home in my own time. So I started skipping specific lectures with specific professors that I didn’t learn from. One time, I got an email from the Dean threatening my status as an international student because of how much specific classes I wasn’t attending.

Have you ever been suspended from school? No.

What are you behind on? Life, in general.

Are you spiritually dead? Or are you spiritually alive? I’m not very spiritually in tune.

Name everyone you know whose first name has a Z in it.  My boyfriend, Zeia.

What’s a song lyric that you like?  “It’s never over. My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder. It’s never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her. It’s never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter. It’s never over, she’s the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.”

Do you believe that your partner should tell you the truth about everything? What lies do you believe are acceptable in a relationship? I’m 100% transparent to the point that I have told him absolutely everything in my past and my life because I would rather not be withholding information that could maybe potentially be a red flag, for example. So I expect the same, honestly. I don’t know what lies are acceptable, I don’t usually lie save from the common “I’m fine” escape route.

The past 72 hours, have you been under the influence? I drank a little heavily the other night, I guess. Bourbon whisky. A little more than half the bottle. With coca-cola, though, I’m not a complete psycho.

Have you ever had a panic attack? I don’t really know if it constitutes as a panic attack, but one time I had a kind of break-down feeling like I couldn’t breathe, and I was talking to my friend that time, thinking I was going to either pass out or die or at least it felt like that. My heart was skipping over itself, racing, and I was being all dramatic tbf. She said it could have been a panic attack, but I don’t really know and it never happened again so far so idk.

Last time you cried really really hard? Ever since this whole long distance situation with my boyfriend, I have had so much breakdowns lol... probably just a week ago or so.

Will your next kiss be a mistake? Definitely not. 

Do you think you can last in a relationship for 3 months? I’m already in one that’s way past that.

Do you own more than one cell phone? Yeah. I don’t really use the extra one because it’s just for in case my int’l number gets a call or whatever.

Have you ever been asked out? Plenty of times, but I’ve always been rather aloof and picky on top of that.... never had much success until my boyfriend. We just clicked hard, and I found myself wanting to go out with him again.

If you could have one super power, what would it be? Teleport. I would be back in the UK so quick, under the blanket with Z, probably just watching movies lol.

Do you act differently around the person you like? I mean, he’s the person I love the most. Of course, I would be acting differently. I’m not someone who would be described as sweet, but I could be that around my boyfriend, for instance.

What was the happiest age of your life? 20.

Do you think someone is thinking about you right now? Possibly, but he’s busy with his assessment lol.

Do you believe it’s okay for your partner to look at other people? What about flirting? What are your boundaries when it comes to how your partner behaves around other people? It’s okay to find someone attractive, that’s normal. But flirting and giving them unnecessary attention would be crossing the line for me.

On the other hand, what boundaries do you set for yourself when it comes to the above mentioned? What boundaries does your partner have? Exactly the same. Fair and square.

Do you believe in being in a relationship with somebody if you don’t even know if you see a future with them? I’m not interested in playing around with someone. If I’m with you, I’m with you for the long haul. The moment I start doubting my feelings and start realising that you’re not the one for me/I don’t see a possibility of you and me in the future, that’s the time I back out.

Do you think your partner should buy you flowers, jewellery, etc.? Do you think you should be doing the same? I won’t necessarily expect gifts all the time for no reason, but of course I would appreciate them. I do like buying things for my boyfriend for no reason though, but it’s not like I ask for anything in return when I do that.

Do you feel that the male (in a heterosexual relationship) should actually be dominant in a relationship, or should both partners have an equal say? Equal say or do what ever works for you both, I’d say.

Do you believe that a couple should stay together and work things out no matter what? To what extent are you willing to fight for a relationship? "No matter what” is questionable. It depends on what the adversity is. It’s easy to compromise on the little things. Arguments are normal, but things like abusive behaviour, for example, is too much and I would not stay for.

Have you ever cheated? How did it happen - was it a moment of weakness or was it something well-planned out to avoid getting caught? How do you feel about the way things turned out because of it? Never. It’s the one thing I would never ever do.

How much change do you think is necessary in a relationship? Do you believe you should just accept your partner for who they are? Or do you believe some change is necessary for a relationship to grow? Partners should grow together. Being with the right person means improving and learning together. If you’re the same all throughout your relationship, it’s a bit questionable whether you have improved as a person or stayed the same the whole time. My boyfriend and I learn from each other all the time, I think it’s neat. Change is good if it’s a good change. I’ve changed some bad habits that he pointed out, and he’s done the same. It’s all good.

How do you handle jealousy? How does your partner handle jealousy? Reassurance. He is easily jealous but I know how to handle that. I don’t get jealous all that often, but when I do, I have a legitimate reason. For that, I just need reassurance as well and proof that I’m talking nonsense, if necessary.

How do you feel about snooping through a partner’s belongings? Do you ever feel that it’s acceptable? How would you feel if a partner snooped through your belongings? Z always tells me that his things are my things as well, but even so, I don’t really snoop, and neither does he.

Do you know anyone who is pregnant? Z’s mum.

Do you think you’ll be married in 10 years? I can’t predict the future, but I think my relationship may be heading towards that. 10 years is a long time, I think it’s very possible we would already be married before then lol.

Will you have sexual intercourse within the next week or two? Ever heard of long distance? Definitely not for the next few months.

What were you doing 2 hours ago? Browsing through YT and Netflix, just trying to have something to do.

Were you single on your last birthday? No. I had a great time clubbing with my friends, then an even better time the following day with my boyfriend. Then another great evening with both friends and boyfriend where we proceeded to get even more shitfaced! 10/10 would do again.

Are your nails painted? Yeah, nude shade.

Do you regret a past relationship? Before Z, I tried to go out with a classmate in uni who liked me. Halfway through our 3-month something, I started realising I probably didn’t even like him as more than friends and would never learn to. I didn’t have experience with dating, and I got curious to finally give it a try with someone decent. Learnt the hard way that that is not enough though. I kind of regret that because I hurt a good guy by trying it out, and I didn’t mean to. I knew I had to stop trying and broke it off because I wasn’t really feeling it. I mean, we didn’t even really go out on real dates let alone anything else really. It was that dead for me... I was stupid not to realise sooner. It was only for 3 months though so I’m still a bit glad for not letting it drag on and for acting on it.

Have you ever lost a loved one? Way too many times.

Is smoking a turn-off when it comes to being interested in someone? My boyfriend smokes and I don’t like it, but what can I do...

Are there any candles in the room with you? A lot of tea candles.

Does the last person you kissed have tattoos? No.

Is there someone you always call/text when you’re drunk? Boyfriend.

Have you ever been engaged? No.

What were you doing before you took this survey? On a video call with my boyfriend.

How do you drink you coffee? Brewed, with milk, not too sweet.

What was the last fun thing you did? When I made progress on my knitting, probably.

Do you have plans for this weekend? Watch Bohemian Rhapsody in the cinema!

How old will you be in five years? 25. 

Who did you spend at least two hours with today?  Probably.... myself hah..

How tall are you? Probably still 5′1 like I have been since I was 14 ugh.

Who was the last person to call you?  My boyfriend.

What was the last text message you received? I think it was from Andrea, “hahaha” or something like that, so I didn’t bother replying.

What were you doing at 12am last night?  Probably playing games on my phone.

When is the last time you saw your mom?  She’s sitting right next to me right now.

What is your favourite season?  Spring and fall.

Name one thing you worry about running out of.  Time.

What’s the last thing you and your sibling laughed about? This could only be a meme on Facebook tbh.

What’s the last thing you took a picture of? My cat sleeping on the stairs!

When are you getting your next new phone? I’m satisfied with my iPhone X. It’s still pretty new.

Can you tell the difference between Chinese and Korean writing? Easily.

Do you tell your parents who you like? Why or why not? I only ever told them about my boyfriend because I knew we would be serious. I don’t think I have ever told them about a past crush or anything like that.

Who’s the most annoying person in your neighbourhood? Practically all of the neighbours near us omg.

Name one of your psycho exes? I don’t have one. Plus, it’s not fair to throw around the word “psycho” just because you don’t like a person anymore.

What brand of eyeliner do you use? I don’t use it, but I have a nude one. I think it’s Rimmel?

When with a guy/girl you like, do you make the first move? I have never made the first move in my whole life lol. My boyfriend initiated every single thing we have ever done...

Do you wish you had a new phone? No. I think iPhone X is the best phone I’ve used so far.

Name one thing you ate today? Mushroom truffle pasta.

Have you ever been to Germany? No, but I would love to go.

Do you drink coffee in the mornings? I drink it every day, anytime tbh.

Do you wear a lot of makeup? I only wear a lot when I go clubbing. Otherwise, I would opt for tinted moisturiser, brows, lip tint/balm and cream blush if I feel like it.

Have you ever written poetry or fiction? I still write poetry and other things from time to time, though I have never attempted fiction.

Would you date someone who has a different religion than you? My boyfriend has a different religion and it’s fine. I am fine with people having different religions, as long as they’re not trying to convert me every 2 seconds.

Do you like spicy foods? Love.

Have you ever sang or played an instrument in front of a crowd? I did sing when I was younger in school, I guess. I can’t say I was good exactly lol.

How are you today? Today has been mentally tiring, and right now it’s 2am and I’m waiting on my boyfriend to be free to talk to me and make me feel a little better so I’m doing survey for the mean time.

What colour is your favourite to wear in the fall?  I don’t really do it on purpose, but I think last fall I overworn my bright red coat, black turtleneck and black knee-high boots lol.

What do you dream of naming your first child?  I honestly really love the male name Lucien.

Do you have an ex-friend that you wish you were still friends with?  I’m with my first official boyfriend.

Do you answer phone calls from numbers you don’t know?  Most of the time, I am reluctant to.

What’s the most frustrating thing about your life right now? This whole distance between me and Z, my MBA aspiration, my visa getting all messed up, etc.

I haven’t experienced living with a roommate, but I have lived alone already and it was decent. I liked my space.. but I am currently living with my boyfriend and that’s even better. It’s not really a must, but it’s a good way to test if you’re really compatible because you’re pretty much together 24/7 and around them when they’re sad/happy/angry/hungry/etc.

How do you wake up in the morning (alarm, music, naturally, etc)? Do you typically have a hard time getting up? When I have an appointment, I set an alarm. Nothing to do, naturally.. which means waking up on and off from 7am until before lunch/I want to get out of bed lol.

Do you know if women in your family tend to get gray hair early? Have you yourself ever had a gray hair? I’ve had a few grey hairs, like one or two. It doesn’t bother me cause it’s probably just due to stress. My mum keeps her hair dyed and has been for my whole life so I wouldn’t know.

Yeah, girls to other girls (in my experience) tend to be less straightforward, less honest.

If you didn’t like a friend’s significant other, would you be honest and up front with them about it, or just butt out? How would you feel if one of your friends said this to you?

How important is it for you and your partner or friends to share a similar taste in music, movies, shows, etc? I feel like these kind of things are more important with friends than partner. Z and I compromise a lot because we don’t like the same stuff. I watch his football matches, he watches my documentaries and it works out. With friends though it’s harder to meet in the middle sometimes.
