#personal questionnaire

Thanks @ruthisyourhope :) I like your background color!!

Relationship status: I live with this guy, he pretty cool

Favorite color: green

Pets: none but I think of names for my future pet(s) all the time (the “notes” on my phone reveal all kinds of weird things about me)

Wake up: I didn’t have anything going on today, so I woke up at 10:30 :’)

Cats or dogs: I like both

Coke or Pepsi: depends on my mood

Day or night: 4am - 6am (if I happen to be awake for some reason)

Text or call: text most of the time

Chapstick or lipstick: chapstick, how anyone manages to not smear lipstick on their clothes within the first 5 seconds of wearing it is beyond me

City or country: country if I had to choose, but somewhat close to civilization would be good, I like creature comforts

Last book I read: it’s so sad that I can’t even think of this. Fanfic has thoroughly swallowed me up. I read the first couple books in the Raven Cycle not too long ago (for the fanfic of course)

Last song I listened to: the starting line - best of me

Five facts about me:

Hmm five facts. I went pretty far in gymnastics as a kid, so I can still do a backhandspring.

I like hiking.

I'm in graduate school.

My right pinky is significantly longer than my left, it has a full fourth segment I kid you not.

I am double-tagging people for now because I’m really interested in your answers haha @domeyashiro @nevergiveupondreamsfan @quantum-yaoi-fan @lustfulcat @things-all-love

Nickname: In lieu of my real name, I’ll share that my fave nickname my bf has for me is “moldy shower” lol

Height: 168cm / 5′6.5″

Last thing you googled: "developmental dyslexia”

Favorite music artist: Emo/indie rock is what I listen to. Brand New and early 2000s Taking Back Sunday are old standbys; The Hotelier and The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die are becoming new favorites.

Song stuck in your head: “the only thing” by sufjan stevens

Last movie you watched: Manchester by the Sea (holy fucking shit. sad sad SAD sad. It was gorgeous.)

What you’re wearing right now: skinny track pants for all my running needs (ha.), a ratty t-shirt, a hoodie

What do you post: all things Yoneda Kou that make my heart hurt and ache and feel hopeful sometimes 

Why did you choose your url: When I read Doushitemo Furetakunai the first time, I remember seeing the title translated somewhere as I Wouldn’t Touch You Anyway. I learned, of course, that No Touching at All is the official English title and that there are a few other variations, but I could never get I Wouldn’t Touch You Anyway out of my head. Even now, it still kind of gives me goosebumps and always adds to my affection for the characters. :)

Do you have any other blogs: Nope. I had one early on in college that was just general stuff, but it fell by the wayside a long time ago.

What did your past relationships teach you: The only past relationships I have occurred in high school (because I started dating my bf when we were 18)... so...don’t date someone just for the sake of it? Make sure there isn’t pizza in your braces? I don’t know. Actually—I think experiencing unrequited love for a while taught me a lot about what it means to be more selfless when you love someone, to wish for their happiness and fulfillment. And it also taught me how to appreciate the little ways that someone notices what you do or gives you attention. I really don’t know if that makes any sense haha.

Religious or spiritual: I think about death and what that means and what it means to exist/be alive, and I think about being really small within the universe, maybe that’s spiritual.

Favorite color: green

Average hours of sleep: 5 or 6, though I feel like I need a lot more haha

Lucky number: 4 or 14 or 41

Favorite characters: This list could be really, really long for me. I generally like tsundere-kind of characters (firecracker crybabies as artemisrisen once said lmao) whose defense mechanism is to be kind of hostile in order to remain a loner, but then there’s a person or two who can make them melt, and, in reality, they really, REALLY want to give and receive affection and be understood.

Thanks! ^.^

4. Is trust a big issue for you?I don’t think so. It more has to do with how well you know a person. I mean, you generally wouldn’t trust someone you’ve only known for a short amount of time (like a coworker) while you would be far more inclined to trust someone you’re close to (like your husband or best friend). But in terms of someone abusing my trust in them, that type of thing, then no. Trust isn’t a big issue for me. Trust comes with getting to know you, imo.

14. What are you going to spend money on next?Besides the typical groceries? Probably tank tops. It’s time to start running again soon and it can be miserable in a t-shirt (well, the non-expensive ones anyway. I know they have that athletic clothing, but the prices are ridiculous).

24. What do you want right this second?Go to sleep. My shift starts at 6am and I really need to get some sleep (and I’m not up because of internet. I slept 4 hours this afternoon when I got off work). Sorry if you were looking for a more deep or philosophical answer. My brain doesn’t function like that when tired.

34. Listening to?Right now, Jeremy Soule’s Kyne’s Peace [The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim OST]

44. Do you tan in the nude?No. Like I could even if I wanted to. Skin’s too fair, so the only optional tan I can get are those various shades of red.

54. Ever eat a pierogi?A dumpling? Yes.

64. Wal-Mart, Target or Kmart?Well, I once worked at Wal-Mart and quit it because I couldn’t stand the management. Target’s literally one minute away from where I work, but Wal-Mart is still cheaper on several accounts. For that I’d say Wal-Mart, but I go to Target most of the time since Wal-Mart is well out of the way. So Target, I guess. (sorry Kmart)

74. What is your favorite book?Ugh, don’t do that to me! Fine. The Silmarillion. I say that because it was the one fictional book I read that sucked me so thoroughly into its vortex that, years later, I still have no intention of parting from it. I love a lot of books and so many come to mind at the word “favorite”, but no other single book has managed to affect me in the sense the Silm has.

Personal Questionnaire (Muse Edition)

24. Favorite band?

"I’ll admit I don’t have a favorite. My tastes have always been eclectic, ranging anywhere from heavy metal to blue grass. But one thing I can say is my appreciation for classical music is…sadly no longer existent. Sometimes certain arias can make me physically ill."

34. Any talents?

"When I was younger, I desperately wanted to play the guitar. My dad thought it’d be better if I play the piano — apparently that’s more ‘ladylike’ — so I have about nine years’ worth of lessons under my belt." Abigail paused. "Speaking of ‘belts,’ I also took about a week of Tae Kwon Do. My dad had approved since he wanted me to be able to protect myself against ‘unwanted attention.’ But when he realized the class was predominately male, he pulled me pretty quickly.” Abigail shrugged, fiddling with the ends of her sleeves. “Aside from all that, I love to draw and paint. If I can’t find a real job, at the very least, I’d like to think I could support myself on my art.”

38. Someone I can tell anything to?

do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotels? Only if I like them but hotel shampoo/conditioners are so cheap, I don't think they even do their job.

where is your next vacation? I really want to go to Orlando this summer to an amusement park. I'd like to meet Miss Murphy and also that would be my first trip with just friends. 

who do you think anyone reads these? Considering the question doesn't even make sense, I'mma say no one. 

what’s your plan for the day? Wake up, feed dog, get ready for school, jog, rest, swim, physics, food time, chemistry, go home, attempt to do chem lab report, sleep. 

are you reading any books right now? I am trying very hard to read An Abundance of Katherines but I could barely get through the first chapter. The boy is just so stereotypical and annoying and he's so angsty (with good reason I guess????) but like OH MY GOD STOP. John Green is just not my style. 

do you ever count your steps when you walk? I look down where I step a lot but that's mostly because I don't like making eye contact while walking. But no, I don't count my steps.

do you ever dance even if there’s no music playing?  Nahh

do you chew your pens and pencils? Whenever I'm thinking, I'll start biting my fingernails or lower lip or pens. It's a bad habit .__.

what is your “song of the week”? Bittersweet by Ellie Goulding. Oh your touch so bittersweet~~

is it okay for guys to wear pink? I didn't realize this questionnaire was from the 90s. 

do you still watch cartoons? Cartoons for toddlers, Cartoons for kids, Cartoons for teens. I just really enjoy cartoons even if they get super cheesy sometimes. Also, anime. 

what do you drink with dinner? OJ4life

what do you dip chicken nuggets in? honey mustard, always. BBQ and Sweet&Sour sauce is okay too. 

what is your favourite food/cuisine? I love chicken alfredo. I enjoy pastas, breads, rice....basically anything in the bottom of the food pyramid.

when was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper? Hurr hurr, Oct. 23rd of last year. Now delivering it is a different story. I think it's somewhere in my room. 

can you change the oil on a car? I am useless in anything car-related. 

what is your usual bedtime? I try to be in bed between midnight and 1 in the morning. Used to go to bed at 3 but I'm not about the exhausted life. 

are you lazy? Oh yes yes, very much so.

afraid of heights? I don't have the phobia but I do have an issue if someone makes me jump from a high building to another as my past has proven. It's mostly an issue with falling and breaking my head open tho. Looking down is not a problem.

occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid? I have wanted to be a child psychologist since I was 10. 

hot tea or cold tea? Hot hot hot

tea or coffee? What'd I say? OJ4life

favourite kind of cookie?  I enjoy chocolate chip. I don't indulge in cookies enough to decline other flavors though. 

can you swim well? yes and very proud of it. With my swimming class, I'm getting back to swimming lap after lap without stopping. Now if only my body could keep up with my determination. 

can you hold your breath w/o manually holding your nose? There are people that can't? Wat.
