1. i studied phonetics for two years. it's been 10 years but i still get overly excited about speech sounds. 

2. i can't play the guitar all that well, but i still own seven of them: Blondie, Eowyn, Christie, Harvey, Rhonda, Little Tree, Peggy-Sue. And a pink flying-V ukulele. (and of course, guitars are girls!)

3. my fashion style is basically Ellen DeGeneres meets Kirsten Stewart with a dash of Hannah Hart. 

4. my parents chose Mozart's birthday as my birthday because i used to dance in the womb to his music. 

5. i like Scarlett Johansson's Tom waits cover album way too much. 

6. are you religious/spiritual?

Ooh, this is a tough one. I’m not really sure…yet. I mean, I grew up in a pretty religious environment (because for my family, culture and religion were really one and the same), and so I’ve become accustomed to that way of living. But like, personally speaking, I don’t think I really am religious. I’d like to think that I am a lot more spiritual than religious - but I’m not really sure what that would mean for me. In conclusion, I don’t really know lol

13. inside or outdoors?

I’m the type of person that would usually say ‘indoors’ when asked this question, but I’m going to say that I really appreciate both extremes. I don’t think I’d be able to go out and do stuff outside and stay outside 24/7 - but I also am 100% sure that staying inside 24/7 would be a bit of a bore as well. So maybe a mix of both!

17. would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?

I don’t really know. I don’t think so? I mean, I’d like to think that my tumblr is not a fair representation of the ‘real’ me, so to speak, only because I really don’t think its possible for me to compress myself and all of my attributes into a website where all I do is laugh at extremely funny dumb text posts and obsess over a variety of tv shows and celebrities. Because I really don’t think I’m like that in real life haha. All in all, I think tumblr is a pretty fair representation of the person that I don’t really project in real life - kinda like, if you were to take the ‘real-life’ me and combine me with ‘tumblr’ me, you would get ‘me’ me. 

But that probably won’t happen.

28. on a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is it for someone to get under your skin?

Is this asking like, how hard is it for someone to make me really mad? lol, i hope, because thats what i’ll answer.I am a pretty level headed and calm person. If anything, I’m extremely forgiving. Like, people could shit on me and I would probably be passive aggressive about it for like a day, but then be like “Oh, they’re really important to me”, and then just move on. So I’m pretty much not very short-tempered (and truth be told, I’m a pushover).But sometimes, some people might rub me the wrong way, or say something or do something that I just think is wrong, and then I’d have to speak up. The only times I’ve ever really really REALLY gotten super pissed off, is when someone was talking shit about my friends, or when someone was talking shit about certain things/people that I, as a decent human being, was not going to allow. I’m not sure how you’d quantify that, so I’ll just say 5. Its hard - but its really not that hard. You’d have to be a really shitty person to make me really mad at you.

30. pick one of your favorite quotes.

OH BOY. Thats hard.There was this one quote by Franz Kafka that I found (after I had to read Metamorphosis in high school) that really spoke to me:"Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."But I also kinda like the one that’s in my description? And I also like other ones toooo. But yeah.
