1.) When you die, what do you want done with your remains?

I want all usable organs to be harvested for donations, then I’d like my body to either be donated to science or cremated.

4.) Do you believe in ghosts?

Yes, but not in the spiritual sense. Energy doesn’t just disappear, and neither does matter. I think we may leave echoes or imprints behind, but that’s a function of physics--not of spirituality or faith or anything like that.

27.) Have you ever seen a dead body apart from a funeral?

RANDOM SHIT:

Thomas Becket (politician, prelate, suave bastard, future saint) once tripped over a pile of firewood after delivering theatrical defiance to the king of England and most of England’s religious and secular nobility. Thomas Becket was a ridiculous human and therefore one of my favorite medieval saints.

A famous German-American botanist (I think it was George Engelmann) was once asked the name of an exotic plant, and he couldn’t remember it. So he delivered himself, in ponderous and authoritative tones, of an old country proverb: “The stall is empty; the cow is gone.” His snobbish guests were very impressed. 

Not exactly a goof, but Freya Stark invested the profits of publishing several books in the purchase of flamboyant hats, and also hosted tea parties for the purposes of espionage.

Allegedly, the response of a captain at Trafalgar to “England expects that every man…” was the testy: “I wish Nelson would stop all this damn’ signaling; we know very well what we have to do.”

I was just tagged again by @luminis-infinite so here, have the last sentence I wrote for the BFF sequel before I ran out of steam!

Theseus’s shoulders are in front of her, so much like Newt’s in build, and she focuses on them while forcing one foot in front of the other.

Thanks for Asking! :) 🍯 Honey: What is one thing you like about yourself?

I like how quick I am to pick up new things. It doesn't always happen - sometimes my brain doesn't want to brain at all, but sometimes I'll be learning something new and pick up on the issue much quicker than the rest of the group and I'm reminded that I'm actually pretty smart. I like when that happens. 🍄 Mushroom: What is a quote you find comfort in?

I thought a lot about this actually 😅 but the ones I keep coming back to this week are: "Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape." (Hogfather, Terry Pratchett) and "I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck." (American Gods, Neil Gaiman)

🐑 Sheep: What is a comfort item you own?

A very old hoodie from University. 🕯️ Candle: What is something you can’t go to bed without?

...That sounds like an amazing Blackadder plot point and and like absolutely nothing else that I can think of at the moment. Might this conceivably be a translation into internet-speak of actual negotiation of law and custom? Yes. But... good heavens. Huts. Tax evasion. I just... The mind, it boggles.

Thank you @luminis-infinite and @chryelephantinechaos for showing an interest in my uninteresting life ;__; it took me so long because I am so boring haha

1. I used to play the saxophone when I was younger and I took it up in the first place because I wanted to be like Lisa Simpson when I was a wee kiddie :D

2. I am half blind (I swear I’ve shared this before so it might not be news to some!)

3. I have never seen many ‘classic’ movies that most people saw in their childhoods. Mary Poppins? Nope. Wizard of Oz? Nope. Sound of Music? Nope. My parents hate these kinds of live-action musical type films. But I saw just about every animated Disney movie going!

4. I never had a birthday party growing up! Yet another thing my parents hated - having to deal with other peoples’ kids haha

5. I once accidentally acted as an invigilator for one schoolgirl doing a GCSE maths exam whilst I was still a student there myself through a very funny mix-up (I even told her when she only had half an hour left xD omg so awkward)
