my housemate makes croatian things called knedle that are filled with jam or fruit (we like nutella too) theyre like dumplings? SO GOOD! YUM

ahh, one of the few I can remember was a guy who was dating the lead girl in the school production when I was in year seven and I remember thinking he wasn't as attractive as the male lead (thus the female lead and male lead should date as it worked out in my small, way to innocent 13yo mind) and also kinda scary.

thank you sweetie!

My lovely friend Maggie tagged me with questions so I guess I'm doing this now? However, I'm going to get food first because eating food is important and I came home from work to paint Medicham and now it's approaching 9 and I'm still hungry.

aah yes yummy leftover turkey <3

Anywho, Maggie's questions.

1. What instrument would you love to learn to play?

Ukulele. I really want to have one, and keep telling myself I'll buy one, but I'm slightly terrified it'll be a waste of money and I won't have the patience to learn. I also half feel like I'd be abandoning clarinet and piano. But mainly clarinet since that's the only instrument I'm skilled at.

2. What is the most overrated show on television?

Family Guy, hands down. Cannot abide that show, I don't know why people like it. It's just really not funny to me at all.

3. When was the last time you laughed so hard you couldn’t breathe?

When Game Grumps did their Halloween themed episodes and switched the opening to Dan just yelling BLEEEEEEH I lost it for a solid 5 minutes.

4. Who is your music guilty pleasure? (This can be a band too)

A lot of bands from my middle school/high school years. Which is funny because I never listened to those bands in those years but now that I'm genuinely enjoying Black Parade era MCR or Fall Out Boy, I feel strangely guilty about how much I kinda love it. Also Linkin Park. I'm sorry. I don't even know if I should be sorry but I feel sorry.

5. Who is the most important person in your life who has died?

I have been lucky that super close family members haven't died around me yet, but a month ago Norbert died to cancer. He wasn't biologically related to me, but he basically was the grandfather I never had (my mom's dad died when she was little and my dad's died when I was only 7). He was so incredibly kind and encouraging and humble. Guys. You have NO IDEA how humble he was. I knew him for 7 years and never once was it brought up that he WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE GETTING THE APOLLO 13 MISSION BACK HOME SAFELY. When asked about it, his response was "I was just doing my job, though. It's what I needed to do." He lived a long life and was at peace with dying, but I'm still really sad about it. I miss him terribly.

6. What is something you have to do but you really wish you didn’t have to?

Dishes. I NEVER REALIZED HOW LUCKY I WAS IN HAVING A DISHWASHER OH MY LORD. My kitchen has now been dubbed "the ecosystem" because I tend to not do my dishes for long enough for things to grow. I am disgusting, I know. I'm sorry. It's a problem. I'M GETTING IT UNDER CONTROL.

Also, if we want to be super real here, I'd rather not die.

7. Do you have a lucky number? WHY is it your lucky number? (You do not have to say what it is).

I am basically the opposite of superstitious. However, I have a strong fondness for the number 5 and am happy whenever it turns up in my life. The reason for that was 5 was the number my portfolio was given when I succeeded in passing sophomore review. Coincidentally, I am not a fan of 81, which was the number I was assigned the year prior.

8. Favorite dance move?

I do not dance. The times when I do dance (generally alcohol is the only way that ever happens) I'm positive I'm horrible at it. But that's okay because Matt is horrible at dancing too so we can just be the super awkward white couple that can't dance at all.

9. Pens or pencils?

::thinks:: pencils are amazing for sketching... but microns are my love I adore them so much but can only use them when doodling with zero stakes. Otherwise I mess up too much.... Gonna go with pencils because I can shade.

10. What animal(s) are you scared of? (There’s gotta be at least one)

MOTHER

FUCKING

SPIDERS

ARE THE WORST

SET THEM ALL ABLAZE

--a (bad) haiku by Jen

11. What profession/career do you think would be the most difficult to do?

 Social worker or alcohol/drug dependency counselor. I just can't imagine dealing with the brokenness of people constantly. Trying so hard to help and make a difference but seeing the same problems keep happening and not actually be able to fix the system... I could not survive doing that and have immense respect for those that try to.

I suppose I need to have questions and tag people now, don't I? Okay, I'm going to do this ONLY BECAUSE I can think of at least 3 people who always want questions so HERE YOU GO, GUYS. ANSWER AWAY.

1. What is your favorite holiday themed movie? It doesn't have to be a winter holiday movie.

2. What is a show that you originally never thought you'd enjoy but ended up liking?

3. What actor/actress would you watch his or her entire filmography for?

4. Do you have any reoccurring dreams or nightmares? Share it if you feel so inclined.

5. What are your thoughts on poetry? Do you have a favorite poet?

6. What is one goal you hope to achieve in your lifetime? It doesn't have to be a "big ultimate dream" goal. For example, I really want a house with a backyard that has a garden shed that I turned into a painting studio. With cats. All of the cats.

7. Name a positive thing that has changed about you in the past couple years. THERE IS ONE, I KNOW THERE IS, DON'T TRY TO DENY IT. EVERYONE GROWS AS PEOPLE AND THERE IS AT LEAST ONE THING THAT YOU'RE HAPPY ABOUT.

8. How do you feel about snow? Are you a fan? Not a fan? Live in a part of the world that never has to deal with snow and ergo has no opinion on snow?

9. Name a ship that you really don't understand or outright hate. Popular, or unpopular. Don't care. There must be one somewhere that you just... do not enjoy at all.

10. What's a book outside your normal genre of choice that you found yourself really enjoying?

11. Is there anything you're currently saving your money towards? What is it?

God, you are useless tagging system WHAT DO I EVEN PAY YOU FOR???? Anywhos atumblefish tagged me yesterday at some point to answer questions and then in theory I would write my own questions and tag other people but let's be honest, the only person who would really care about answering my lame questions is Sage and I'm not sure if I can put off my Skyrim urges to write however many questions for her to answer.

Where on earth would you like to travel most? | I'm not a huge traveling fan because it concerns me and I get all stressed and freak out over the unknown so I honestly doubt I'll ever leave the country but I think New Zealand would be cool if only because Middle Earth

Sun, Sea and Sand or Mountains, Trees and Fields? | Mountains, Trees and Fields all the way. No question here.

What is the last song you listened to? | I had the radio playing on the way back from the car fixing place so prb that really annoying Bruno Mars "Heaven" song. Sidenote, "cuz your sex takes me to paradise" is not a very good compliment in my opinion.

What is the furthest away you’ve been from home? | When I was 7 I went to California to celebrate my great-grandmother's 100th birthday. I live in Ohio so you go math that for me.

What is the last thing you created yourself? | Uhhhhhhhhh I drew like 10 pokemon in my new Gryffindor sketchbook Allie made for me back at the reception for my uncle's funeral does that count? I generally don't make things for me unless you count projects.

What do you think is the absolute best comfort food? | Macaroni and cheese. With hot sauce. Because reasons. Shut up I think it's glorious.

What is the weirdest food habit you have? | I put hot sauce in my mac and cheese. I also like french fries with mayonaise. And take a scoopful of peanut butter and add chocolate chips to it and eat it as a snack.

If you are artsy, what is your favourite medium? | ha...hahah.... ::hides under her shame blanket:: art..... Dip pens+ink with watercolor. I'm really excited about my acrylics class next semester though.

What is your favourite place to go for a coffee (or other such beverage)? | I really like Starbucks coffee but Tree City opened up in Kent recently and I REALLY love the way their black coffee tastes. It's wonderful. Plus they sell wine there soooooooooooooooooo

Chocolates and Sweets or crisps (chips) and fast food? | Chocolates and sweets. Fast food, although definitely an indulgence of mine, often times leaves me full of regret and feeling disgusting.
